Miles from Doctor The company was in the Verduga Woodlands, some miles from the nearest doctor, and the star was in considerable pain. The electricians on the set quick- ly hooked up a huge studio lamp, turned the heat upon the injured ankle and Miss Mackaill was soon able to resume her work before the cameras and microphones. There have been numerous in- stances of the healing power of the studio lamps, but this is the first time that one has been used upon a star. Added attractions are “The Danc- ing Gobs,” Vitaphone Acts and news reels. BLEND ALONE WILL NOT INSURE PERFECT FLAVOR IN COFFEE df the Blended Coffees Are Not Roasted Evenly, Flayor Varies In the ori!gi'ination' and !ferfection of Controlled Roasting, Hills Bros. accomplished something that no othér coffee roaster has yet achieved. By this patented process, the degree of roast is positively controlled. The result is that Hills Bros. Coffee is absolutely uniform. The reason for the success of Controlled Roasting is that this process roasts a few pounds at a time instead of in bulk. By a continuous process these small amounts of coffée flow through the roasters in a steady stream, roast- ing a little at a time. Automatic control of both the flow and the heat absolutely prevents variation in the roast. 5 % | Bold as the claim may seem, no jother coffee has the flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee. Wherever Hills Bros. Coffee is introduced it quickly becomes the preferred brand. Hills Bros. Coffee never “goes stale,” because it is packed in vacuum.

Pro- posed industrial developments will attract new residents and we may expect an increase in population from this source in the next bien- nium.” Alaska’s mines produced $16,065.- 000 in 1929, a gain of $2,000,000 over the preceding year, but in 1930 they lost about $2500,000, due to de- pression in copper and other base metals. “There is every reason to believe that the gold production will increase during the next two years, although there may be a decline in the production of cop- per and other base metals.” Last | gained about $635,000 over 1929. Fishcries are Depressed In his analysis of the conditions in the salmon canning industry the Governor revealed the reasons im- lators for the ‘“strictest economy.” | This and mining constitute the Territory’s major sources of reve- nue, and the revenues of the Ter- ritory from the latter during the past biennium decreased eight per cent.” The packers employed 29,283 per- sons in 1929, Fishing products that year were valued at $50,795,81Y, ibut large as that was, it was $3,- 750,000 less than in 1928. Official statistics for 1930 were not avall- iable, but due to the red salmon |failure in Bristol Bay last sea- {son, the pack is known to have | been smaller than the average, and |tax receipts disproportionately |lighter than the figures might in- !dicate due to the fact that the |rates on red fish are higher than fon pinks and other varieties and 'most of the super-case taxes come |from the red fish branch. Outlcok Is Gloomy Out ‘of a five million case pack last year, some two million were carried over by the packers to this year. Prices sagged to the lowest figures in a decade or more. Thus the present situation in the in- dustry is very similar to that in 1921. Available reports indicate there will be “a reduction of ap- preximately 25 per cent in the number of canneries that will be operated. ~ Probably the pack of red salmon will increase over that of last year, but it is mnot likely that ‘the total pack of all varieties | will exceed 3,900,000 cases. If nor- mal conditions are restored by 1932, the pack should be about 5,000,000 cases,” in that year. But the industry faces an un- usual circumstance in 1933, In that T s year the output of the gold mines | pelling him to appeal to the Legls-' NORMA SHEARER WINS TRIUMPH IN CAPITOL PLAY “Their: Own Desire”’ Willl' Be Repeated Tonight and Tomorrow Norma Shearer in a penetrating study of present-day social stand- ords called “Their Own Desire” is the particularly effective screen at- traction which opened at the Capi- tol Theatre last night and whirlrK will be repeated tonight and to- morrow night. The all-talking cinema play was| adapted from the uovel by Sarita/ Fuller which tells the story of a| girl 'whose happiness came danger- ously near frustration through the| machinations of a father who had diversion In other quarters. ] Unusual Film Subject While “Their Own Desire” is| not exactly ‘a phase of the ‘sins of the fathers” idea, it gives a clear-cut picture of the effect of parental incompatability on chil- dren, which in itself is something rather novel for screen use. Miss Shearer as usual gives her intelligent and faithful eance of a role that might easily have been ruined by sentimentality. splendidly cast, and other capable performances are given by Robert Montgomery, Helene Millard, Ce- cile Cunningham, Mary Doran and June Nash. Ne Lacik of Action Although the picture is primar- ily a sociological study, there is /1m0 lack of action, the scenes be- | |ing widely separated and depicting |tuch activities as polo, swimming, _iduncing parties, motor hoating, and even an exciting search by sea- plane, these particular scenes be- |ing done with skillful realism and | effective photography. Of particular interest, however, are the underwater scenes taken | during a swimming-pool sequence in which the expressions on the | persons swimming underneath the surface have been obtained with | amazing clearness by means of waterproafed, submerged cameras.| “Their Own Desire” was directed |under the joint supervision of E Mason Hopper and James Forbes | with Forbes also responsible for | the dialogue. | Added attractions at the Capitol are Charles Chase in “Pip from | Pittsburgh” and “Boy Friends” in| | “Ladies Last.” | |year occurs the off-cyele for red |fish in the Bristol Bay district, and |the Governor informed the legisla- |ture it was ‘“practically certain” | all fishing would be suspended there during that season. Other Industriecs Affected Alaska’s fur trade, exclusive of ceals, in 1928 aggregated $4,513,863, |a gain of about five per cent over 11928, but the 1930 receipts were much smaller. In fact, it was es- timated that the trappers received 350 per cent less in that twelve- {month than was paid to them in 1929, Forest products likewise showed the effects of depression. However, new capital is expected to exploit this field in the near future. It has been given licenses for water- |power ‘development, and the Gov- jernor predicted “manufacturing |plants will begin during e mnext biennium."” Banks at Nermal Combined resources of Territorial and National banks, June 30, 1930, were: capital $915,000; surplus and. undivided profits, $935,400; deposits, $12,352,000. ' Total assessed valu- ation of incorporated towns was $25,512,663. Depression has affected Alaska “in some degree, but we are lbss affected than most of the other parts of the United States. There are a number of unemployed in some of the larger communities but most of them are recent arrivals. Steps have been taken to meet this situation by providing work on sev- eral projects, roads, and rivers and harbor improvements,” from Fed- eral funds. Pisheries are expected to absorb most of the surplus la- bor this summer. Concluding his general survey the Governor declared: “I see no reason why, if we are prudent in our expenditures for the ‘next two years, we should not |emerge from this period of adverse conditions in excellent shape and without having experienced un- necessary suffering or placed added burdens on industry or individuals.” Suggests Building Program ' ! Urging the ‘“necessity for a pub- lic building program, the Governor declared: “The time i§ not far distant when institutions will be an absolute necessity” to meet the demands for taking care of the “aged and unfortunate and incor- rigibles.” As financial resources are limited, it will be essential for the adoption of a continuing program, setting aside funds each biennium in advance of needs so that money will be available for construction when time is ripe. By careful planning and a distribution of costs over a period of perhaps ten years the Territory will be able to handle the situation. grown tired of his wife, and sought' perform-| gensome on industry, Last Times TONIGHT 0-9:30 It's at the Home of Vitaphone IT TAKES TWO TO PLAY THE “LOVE RACKET” with DOROTHY MACKAILL THE INDIANS ARE COMING —SIDNEY BLACKMER But—— ONLY ONE MAN C WIN The Dancing Vitaphone News Gobs Acts and many others —Saturday— —Soon— HOLD EVERYTHING SPECIAL ATTRACTION — Jean Dempster, Guest Organist, in two R equest umbers | buildings and he should supervise | the construction.” | Taxes Sufficiently High !

Growth in Expenses Broadly, the Governor depicted the expenditures for schools and social welfare as showing a high rate of increase. For instance in 1917 the Territory expended out of its treasury for educational pur- poses only $75,521.49, and in the school year of 1929480 'disburse- ments for ‘the ‘same purpose amounted to $544,731.37, or a seven- fold increase. In the same period schools increased 100 per cent and enrollment less than' that. ! For dependent children the Ter- ritory is now expending approxi- mately $2,300 per month on 142 children. Fifty-five thousand dol- lars were appropriated in 1929 and $70,000 will be needed for the cur- rent biennium. Total expenses of the Ploneers’ Home were $105,150.53 and $100,000 is asked for the next two years. The construction of a modeérn institution which will care for both men 'and women is indicated. The Governor said there is now $171,000 in the building fund and, finances permitting, will reach $211,000 by | 1933. He asked for the appoint-! ment of a committee to prepare plans for the structure. Pension Roll Large *There are 351 on the pension roll. Although ‘the 1929 legislature in- creased the maximum monthly al- lowance from $25 to $35, the Board of Trustees was not able to raise the scale as the funds made avail- able were insufficient. In fact, al- though the rate was held to the then existing basis, due to the in- creased number of pensioners, r small deficit was incurred which He urged that the Highway En- gineer be given authority pare and approve plans for all “to pre-|take care of. the present session will have to Under the existing system of awarding allotments, the Governcr said it was not possible to prevent payment of pensions to persons not entitled to them and he asked the Legislature to authorize the use of tax collectors to investigate ques- tionable cases. In the past two years, 17 per cent of all disbursements by the Terri- tory were made for the relief of destitution and care of indigents, including pensions, Pioneers’ Home, dependent children. The appro- priations for these purposes tctaled $406,000. With the exception of the Pioneers’ Home, the system was described as. unsatisfactory and remedies were suggested. Federal Highway Act “At some future time it is cer- tain we shall be expected to come under the Federal Highway Act and we may well begin to consider his matter,” the Governor said. “One of the requirements that must be met is the existence of an ad- ministrative organization acceptable to the Federal government.

Boxing Commission Comment The Territorial Boxing Commis- sion created by the last Legislature has functioned satisfactorily, Gov. Parks reported. “The members have been diligent in performing their duties and rules and regu- laticns that were promulgated by them seem to be satisfactory. The receipts deposited by them with the Treasurer exceed the appropria- tion made for their expenses. | The Historical Library and Mu- seum in its specially designed quar- ters in the new capitol is able to play its part more effectively. The Governor recommends that the building formerly occupied hy it and other Territorial offices be loaned to the city of Juneau for a public library building, providing that the municipality pays the costs of its upkeep. The site, he added, should be a part of the park that some day will be created in front of the new capitol and he suggest- ed the legislature authorize trans- ifer of title to the lot to the Fed- M Miss Spain for tional contest.
