Standing cn the wing of hi plane, Wilson successfully la his enemy from the wing of a pur- '\ suing plane, swings him up be side him and flies serenely on. ® Cowboys who used to perform air- the lasso trick from the backs of & bucking bronchos, will realize that | a mew era has dawned for which their skill paved the way. Wilson declares that he has no fear of “missing” on this stunt, as he has practiced the art of # lassoing with the most expert cowpunchers of the west. This is only one of a hundred '«hrills which' are guaranteed in “Three Miles Up.” “HEART OF THE YUKON” | SHOWING AT COLISEUM A deftly constructed story of the Alaskan gold rush days is “The # Heart of the Yukon,” the feature picture which opened at the Coli ® seum last night. Ada to this many thrilling and dramatic sit- uations, tense and breath-taking in their realism, and you have a slight idea of what sort of picture it is. The story concerns the efforts of a girl to find her long lost father who was last heard from in Alaska. She goes North seeking him and arrives in the roaring gold rush camp of Halfway, There, an unscrupulous saloon keeper con- evinces her that he is her father, hoping thereby to get the fortune that has been left to her. The story continues to a dramatic cli- max which is one of the best we have seen in a long time. An excellent cast is headed by John Bowers and Anne Cornwall. s“Bowers plays the part of a pio- neer who has found gold near Halfway. Miss Cornwall is seen in ‘the role of the girl who has ™come into this cruel, hard eountry, seeking her father. These two have been excellently cast for their respective roles, and leave nothing .to be desired. - - = « ] i # | AT PALACE THURSDAY —_— A grotto of solid gold and silve its walls and roofs dotted with ¢ myriads of sparkling gems is the series of card parties spomsozed setting of the Ballet of Jewels in & “The Midnight Sun” Universal Super-Jewel coming to the Palace tomorrow for a three-day run.

J, who arrived from'the south a few days ago and was to have gone from here to Skagway, returned to Ketchikan and probably Prince Rupert on the Princess Mary. Confused boat sailings from Ju- neau to the Lynn Canal ports made it necessary that the Rev. Leahy 20 to Ketchikan and start his lec tures from that town and work imorth instead of starting at Skag- way and working south as was 'orlgmauy intended. i Rev. Leahy had planned his trip thinking that there were weekly sailings to and from Juneau to Skagway. The twice monthly local seryice.would involve a loss of considerable time before he would be able to return and de- liver his planned lectures here. Before the Princess Mary sail- ed urgent messages were wired the Secretary of Commerce in ! Washington requesting that the Rev. Leahy be allowed to leave the ship at Ketchikan rather than remain on the vessel through to Prince Rupert and then return. It is not known that permission was Dick has made money on every boxing show here. The H Risko bout, his first, drew $7 Jimmy McLarnin and Loa $63,000, and gates of $40 $60,000 have been rezular occur- rences. THREE PLEAD GUILTY TO VIOLATING GAME Three cases involving violations of the Alaska Game Law, resulted from an inspection recently of Behm Canal districts by Wardens Dufresne and Jewell, according to information received at local head- mission. Pleas of guilty entered in all instances. Jack Frazier and his partner, Al McGowan were charged with and pleaded guilty to trapping without a resident license.

But Garner was not satisfied. He insisted th some assurance be given that tho Pamendment would be brought ba to the house. i~ The fight was on. Republica ocratic reserves moved up. Byrns, Democrat of Tennes impatiently reminded his ues that this was a quest {tal interest, that members of the house had a right to debate the imatter, and that this could be {brought about if the houses confc jrees would merely tell their Sen late friends they had promised to bring the amendment back. W Garner did not have the proper faith in their Senate friends. The gentleman from Texas coull not speak for the gentleman from Tennessee, but personally he did not like the idea of depending on {his Senate friends—that he woull muclr prefer an agreement with the gentleman from Indiana. i Nice Battle The fight went merrily on., La- guardia, the wet Socialist from New York, got into it, and Cram ton, Republican of Michigan, t d I N " to squelch him with the remark that: “The house can well under {stand what kind of a Senaic amendment this is when the chief sponsorship of it goes to the hands of one of the most capable and most active wets in the house.” But Laguardia refused to be |squelched and hurled back the \run, that's why.” Garner finally asked unanimous |consent that the amendment I iconsidered by the housze.
