how many more he will die before
his picture career ends.
But the studio cannot be blamed
for that; not entirely at any rate.
From time to time, Mr.. Bogart has
been moved over on the side of
sweetness, and once all the way over
to poignant wistfulness. That was
when. as district attorney, he had
to see the woman he loved, Bette
Davis, walk helpless and lonely into
the impenetrable gloom of a boy
loses-girl picture.
What came Of it? Every one
found Mr.. Bogart strange, and
strange" was easy to translate as
unconvincing and unpopular. Ty-
rome Power can suffer unrequieted
love and break million hearts. So
can Robert Taylor, or maybe it is
only 6,404. But Mr.. Bogart, not a
heart. He pays for his crimes, movie
ones, of course. in total absence
of audience pity or, worse, in a
clamor for his return to his old evil
ways.
His last chance to be good prob
ably has gone because he was in
troduced as a'wicked man and the
public likes him wicked.
X X X
There are dozens of other cases,
not all of them involving villains.
That. of Luise Rainer Is one. In q
way, Miss Rainer has he'd the re-
verse of Bogart's experience. As
Anna Held in THE Great Ziegfeld''
she demonstrated that she was 50
completely the mistress OF heart
break that she won an academy
price. AS O-lan in THE Good
Earth" she did it a second time.
Then Miss Rainer, who is talented
person, was given a heartbreak part
that carried little less sympathy
in it (and a lot less of merit IN
every respecD in "The Toy Wife"
One beast among critics, who is
loved by children and dogs and by
no one in Hollywood, suggested that
Miss Rainer should give back the
academy award for that perform
ance. Another, not quite so racIcal,
submitted his resignation to the
Luise Rainer Fans Club.
So, in THE Great Waltz" Miss
Rainer goes all the way back to
heartbreak; life of exquisite tor
ture for which circumstance, and
not any weakness in her own nature,
is to blame.
Well might 1t win for her a third
straight academy award for the best
feminine performance of the year.
Especially when you look back over
the other feminine performances of
the year and try to remember by
whom it was given in what!

Twenty five women were present and sever al new names were added to the membership roll.

It was announced that Miss Lulu Fairbanks of the AL aska Weekly with party of Gold Diggers" would be on the Monday boat and a Greeters Committee con- sisting of Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Barnes and Mrs. Anderson was asked to meet them. It was further annuonc- ed that members of the Garden Clubs of America would be making the Alaska trip later in the month and a suggestion that all local gar dens be made to look their best at that time was made. AS many flow CTS as can be obtained will be pres ented to the visitors as a means of publicity for Wrangeh.
 With the prospects of a new Fed eral building, a plea for the preser- yation of the Customs House, used as officers quarters in the early Fort Wrangell days, was made and a committee consisting of Mrs. Hun gerford and Mrs Bjorge appointed to contact others interested in pres crying some of the old landmarks.

British Cruiser York
 Will Be Here July 20

Writing from the British Consul ate at Seattle, Francis J. Pelly, British Pro-Consul in a letter to the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce said:
 "In the absence of His Majestys Consul, I have to inform you of the intended visit of H. M s. York to Wrangell from Wednesday 20th July to Friday 22nd July, 1888. Vice-Admiral Sidney Meyrick, K. c. K, flies his flag in H. M. s. York, which is commanded by Captain H. E. Morse, D.S.O., Royal Navy.
 HI. M. S. York anticipates com ing to anchor at 9:00 a. m., and have taken the liberty of informing the Admiral that he may expect to receive call from the president, or representative, of your chamber some time subsequent to arrival.
 'T understand that the visit to Wrangell will be of an informal nature and it is hoped that local of ficials and residents will not feel themselves called upon to incur un- due expense by entertaining. For the same reason, any entertainmnt arranged by H. M. s. York will be on quite a small scale.''

TR0LLER DIES FROM HEART
 DISEASE AT SECURITY BAY

U. S. Commissioner Richard Sur att accompanied by Deputy U. s. Marshal James Nolan and Dr. J. H. Clements, went by plane Monday to Security Bay to hold an inquest after information had been received here from the watchman at the Kings s Mill trap that man was dead near there and no details were known.
 The deceased was identified as J. Roett, a troller, about 60 years of age His companion Walter Scott also an elderly man, testified very frankly that he and Roett, being in dire need of food, had come ashore to go deer hunting. From his des- cription Roett evidently suffered a heart seizure and died very quickly, his gun still in his hands. Roett was about 50 yards from the beach when he died. His body was covered by blankets and left undisturbed until the arrival of the inquest officers.
 Nothing is known of the deceased except that he has been troller for several years. A letter from a mail- order house was in his pocket ad- dressed to him at Myers Chuck.
 Judge Suratt arranged for the towing of his trolling boat into Wrangell and interment of his body which was brought here aboard his boat, was made Wednesday in the Wrangell cemetery.

 When congratulated on breaking the world flight record of Wiley Post in the Minnie Mae. Hughes de- clared the Post flight more praise worthy because of the great i'm proYement in efficiency of planes available today over the ones when Post made his flight.
 Hughes made the 3600-mile flight to Paris, which was the first non stop flight from New York to Paris since Col Charles A. Lindberg's memorable flight in 1927, in 16 hours, 38 minutes, less than half the time made by Col Lindbergh, which was 33 F hours.
 The plane landed at Fairbanks for refueling Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Wiley Post who came north this week flying in from Juneau on her way to Point Barrow, greeted Hugh.s at Fairbanks.
 As the plane took off from Ben nett Field for Paris. Hughes was in the pilots seat, Ed Lund was al ternate engineering mechanic and besides him were Harry Connor and T. L.

 wire received this morning by the Sentinel from the Petersburg Press stated that the meeting was held in the Sons of Norway hall with about 200 fishermen and some businessmen attending. In the period following the talks by the Wrangell men members both of the CIO and AFL indulged in cross questioning characterized by con- tradictions.
 Mayor Knut Thompson who said the town wanted the canneries to run and it seemed Petersburg was suffering from discrimination was answered by a CIO that the strike was general and all canneries could not be contacted at the same time.
 Pacific American Fisheries Supt. Ringstad said it seemed that can neries employing Alaska labor are being penalized.
 No action was taken at the meet ing, the Press message stated, but the opinion seemed to be that there was nothing to do hut await devel- aHmRnts at Ksfeh5kaH.

 He declared the majority of Un- tied Fishermen members at Ketchi- kan were not bona fide fishermen but men who stayed on the beach, because they wanted to stay on the beach. they did not want to fish but just went out occasionally with little gillnet, in order to call themselves fishermen although there were plenty of people who called them plain creek robbers.
 Bargaining Rights
 Stevenson referred to the fact that this spring w. c. Arnold of Ketch- ikan, representative of Southeastern Alaska packers. signed agreements for the packers, giving all bargain ing rights to the ASPSU. Recently, as two of the big companies at Ketchikan, Nakat Packing Company and Libby, McNeill and Libby have been meeting with CIO organizers, the Sailors Union of the Pacific, whose members man all American boats of steamship companies in the Alaska service, gave notice that they would support the Alaska Salmon Purse Seiners Union 100 percent.

 With a large number of men ar irving in Stewart since early spring broke and looking for work with business firms extending cred- 1t that these men might at least have sufficient food to live, until the burden could be carried no longer, as well as the private res idents doing all that they could in- dividually, all to terminate in no work starting up, a serious situa- tion developed in Stewart about the middle of June, so serious in fact, that something had to be done, there being number of men actually hungry, despite the efforts of the merchants and citizens.
 Faced with this serious situa- tion, Constable Requa of the B. c. Police, stationed here, solved the problem by suggesting the compile tion of the clearing of the Govern ment block in the centre of the town and the conversion of it into a playground for the children. Sug- gesting the idea to the Stewart News, this publication joined in the movement and a financing plan was worked out which is producing splendid results. The committee handling the financing scheme con- sists of Constable Requa, H. V.
