DRAMATIC FILM
AT THE EMPRESS
“The Woman,” by William C. De
Mille, originally produced in dramatic
form by David Belasco, is a fascinat
ing combination of political and do
mestic intrigue. Jim Blake is the
boss of one of the political rings at
Washington, and is doing his utter
most to pass a bill that will wrongly
favor the railroads. He is opposed by
a young reformer by the name of
Matthew Standish. The sympathy of
the public i6 so clearly with Standish
that Blake sees his bill will be doomed
unless something can be done to dis
credit his opponent. Subsequent
events show the manner in winch his
plot is foiled by a brave little tele-;
phone operator. The great dramatic
surprise comes with the revelation of
the identiy of “The Woman.”

COLDEST WEATHER
RECORDED IN THE
YUKON VALLEY
DAWSON.—(Special.) — Sergeant
Demater, of the Royal Northwest
| Mounted Police, arrived in Dawson
recently from Rampart House having
made the 400-mile trip over an un
broken trail with the thermometer
ranging from 00 to 70 below zero. He
was accompanied by a Mr. Strom and
two Indians.
Simmic Fiendle, the veteran stage
driver of the Whitehorse-Dr wson
route, recently made the trip 'between
those points during the coldest weath
er of the winter. One day he revered
seventy miles while the thermometer
was 70 to 75 degrees below »ev>,
driving from 0 in the morning until
12 at night. His nose and chin were
badly frostbitten.
Mining Motes
T. H. Graves was an arrival on the
Northwestern from Knight island re
cently. Graves has been engaged
in developing the Harvey copper
property at Mummy bay and reports
that the property is making an ex
cellent showing. There w*as recently
opened up in the shaft a body of high
grade ore running as high us 15 per
cent copper, and indications point to
the fact this high grade ore will con
tinue with depth. Harvey has already
made several small shipments of ore
from his property, and figures on
maintaining regualr shipment* each
month. The new' srtike will add
greatly to the value of the output.—
Valdez Prospector.

Mines Corporation left recently «n

STILL FIGHTING
TO SAVE FISH
FOR KETCHIKAN
WASHINGTON.—(Special.) — The
federal shipping board on March 7
took a hand in the work of protecting
the Alaska fisheries against Canada
by refusing to transfer the American
boat Venture to American registry.
It is declared that the Canadian regu-!
lations offered tempting inducements
for such transfers but they give
Americans no oportunity for free
competition in the fisheris trade but
subject the consumers of fish brought
into America to monopolistic price
manipulation. It is also declared that
the Canadian regulations, if not .off
set, would bring the Alaska fleet op
crating in Ketchikan under Canadian;
registry and its producot Into Prince!
Rupert.
