 The screen play, which main tains the comedy mood best suited not alone to Barnum's extrava- gant exploits, but to Beery's most popular type of characterization as well, was written by Gene Fowler, famous biographer, and Bess Mere dyth, one of Hollywood's ablest Scenarists.
 The story opens with Barnum's 6 entrance into the sideshow busi- ness exactly 6 hundred years ago when, having acquired a few rep tile monstrosities and an aged Ne- gress named Joice Heth, purport- ed to be 160 years old and erst- while nurse of the infant George Washington, he left his failing Bowery grocery, rented livery 6topiV anu opCNiCo ASot ?

PETERSBURG COLD STORAGE
 PAYS DIVIDENDS FOR 9TH YR

Holders of common stock in the Petersburg Cold Storage company were the recipients of their usual Christmas present from the con eern last week in the form of , percent for 1934, according to the Petersburg Press. This is the eigth consecutive dividend paid, or one for each year of operation, the payments having ranged from , percent to s percent as conditions have permitted.
 This common stock dividend was declared at a meeting of the Di- rectors on the 17th, and. following the custom of the past several years, it was made payable on the goth so as to get the money dis tributed before the Christmas holi- days. Prior to declaring the con- mon stock dividend, the dividend on preferred stock, payable April 1st. was set aside of the net earn ings for 1884; and the usual de- preeiation write-offs were also eff fected at the same time. The net earnings for 1884 are understood to equal those of 1883.

SOCIAL NOTES

Mir. and Mrs. c. W. DeRemer were delightful hosts at a New Years Eve party in their home on Church street. The evening was a success sion of cleverly devised amuse- ments. some original with the hosts and others adaptations of old time frolics. Entertainment plans were built by Mrs. DeRemer on a previ- ous party in another home during which two of the guests, one Of whom was Mir. DeRemer. had brok- en something belonging to the household, and another guest had inadvertently overturned a tray of food.
 The DeRemer guests entered the living room to find the walls bare with the exception of three new calendars. all pictures and most of the breakable objects having been removed. The floor lamps were firmly tied by ropes and other pre- cautions taken against damage by breaking. Fragile, Take Care signs were posted in conspicuous places. One of the objects which was broken at the previous party was bisque doll bridge bell. To avoid such misfortune Host DeRe- mer had borrowed a sturdy cowbell from a local dairy to do duty at the head card table.
 Each guest at the beginning of the evening was presented with a cleyerly worded accident insurance policy which MT. DeRemer had pho tographed and printed in his stu dio. The premiums exacted in pay ment for the policies were later re- deemed in the old game of forfeits Noise makers distributed a few mo-

SALMON MARKET IS SEEN
 FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES

"A check-up on prices has es- tablished the remarkable stability of canned salmon values" says a business writer in the Seattle Times. He adds, Practically no changes have been made in quota tions although some firms have ad- vised that their stocks of certain grades have been cleaned out"
 This observation was made at the time, week ago, when Hugh J. Wade was in Seattle conferring with canners regarding the canned salmon code
 His observation of the market was that ''it will break shortly after the New Year. Nothing has been sold to amount to anything and much that was ordered has been turned back. Some firms an nounced that they were sold out only to re-enter the market with goods turned back"
 He predicts a drop in price be- fore spring, partly because the government isn't taking that mil lion cases packers counted on."

 MINES ISSUES NEW BOOK

In announcing publication of the Minerals Year Book 1884" the United States bureau of mines, de- partment of the interior, has re- leased the second volume in new series that carries forward statis- tical information and economic dis cussions of mining formerly print ed in other publications, including Mineral Resources of the United States, which were issued annually for half a century, reports a depart ment bulletin.

ALEUTIAN ISLANDS OFFER
 UNLIMITED CATTLE RANCE

Mrs. Arthur H. Mellick of Sand Point spent some days in Washing ton and New York recently. Mrs. MelHck realizes the possibilities Of economic development in the Alas ka peninsula and the adjacent is lands Last summer she placed S3 head of registered beef cattle on Popof island where Sand Point is situated. as we'll as number of milch COWS. the milk being distri- buted largely among the children who attend the school at Sand Point. Cattle range the year round on Popof and other islands and doubtless could also subsist on the adjoining mainland without any necessity of feeding. It has been estimated that many thousands and possibly many hundreds of thou sands of head of cattle would easily live on the islands adjoining the Alaska peninsula including a few of the Aleutian group. The possi- bilities of development in this di- rection are practically unlimited. Mrs. Mellick discussed with the of ficials of the Indian Office the ques- tion of obtaining some additional cattle from the drouth region for the natives of the Shumagin is- lands but the matter of transpor- tation at this time of year present ed almost impossible difficulties and so it was decided not to make any further effort in this direction
 Mrs. Mellick plans on building at her own expense a small hospital at Sand Point as well as a church for the community. Her daughter Mildred is now as school at Holy Names Academy, Seattle.
