In a talk with Will Curtis, last
evening, he expressed himself as de
lighted to get back to Astoria and civ
iiiMiion. after nearly three years in
that bleak, rich, and rough domain.
Mr. Curtis served as electrician in the
Federal mines near Juneau for some
time after he had made his open-sea
trip to that place in a small launch
sent out from here for delivery to the
American Coral Marble Company;
and then went to Ketchikan, where
for a year he was with the Citiiens
Light, Water & Power Company, in
the same capacity; and afterward
took over the editorial and business
mnai.ment of the Ketchikan Miner.
filch he ran successfully for 13
months, or, until he turned his face
hnmeward.
He savs that copper is the touch
stone of progress up there; that as it
varies in value, so goes all eontin-
rnt renditions, all around through
th conntrv. and that the supply is
absolutely Incalculable. He says, also,

.,; t,lf a dozen steamers of its
own. and is now building 7S cottages
for Its emnloyes, and hopes to have
all things completed by the end of
the winter season.
Ataka. he savs, is an inexhaustible
rcirion of surprising wealth, and that
development is going forward there
without cessation; but that the peo
!. .tin tivi pone there are so
wrapped in their peculiar and per
sonal pursuits that they are not dis
posed, or have not time, to cultivate
the social amenities in any of the
more refined ways, and therefore it is
a bit lonely for anyone who goes
there without a wide range ot ac
quaintance. What the country needs most, ac
cwrtln to Mr. Curtis, Is transports-
.; formic of readier sort, wider
range and quicker delivery, to offset
the paralysis engendered by the pro
tracted winters and the impediments
of snow and ice on all sides. This,
he says, is counted as the severest
winter in those latitudes, in many
years, and is felt in every line of
buflness.

On March 1st Lillian Russell leaves
Chicago and jumps direct to Den

has so completely established the
former queen of comic opera as a
star of the first magnitude in straight

ell will stay out until Jul in order
to present "Wildfire" in the territory

TWO EXCELLENT MEASURES
PENDING IN THE EVER
GREEN LEGISLATURE.
GRUESOME GUN.
KnMiera. dinlomat and sportsmen
are to-day making frantic efforts to
find out how Hiram Maxim will in
troduce the silencing device for guns
ith which he electrified a crowd in
the office of his lawyer the other day.
Those who saw the heaviest rifles
tamed to noiseless and kickless ac
tion by the application of a tiny tube
to the barrel are declaring that the
test has marked a revolution in the
ways of war and sport. Throughout
this sort of sterilized Buffalo Bill
Show to which Mr. Maxim treated
his select audience no one could help
thinking of the possibilities in crime
that the introduction of his invention
must onen. There was something cold
blooded in the stillness through
which the high power projectiles of
lead were hurled with force enough
to nierce ten men. To day no imlica
tion has been given by the holders
of this magic device as to the field or
limitations of its use-

CHI CAGO, Feb. 17.-Tbe Rev.
Johnston Myers, has established a
''silence" room for women at the Em
manuel Baptist Church. It is in the
rear of the Church. He says those
who cross his threshhold will be per
mitted not a word, even in a whis
per A "woman attendant will alwajs
be on hand to see that this rule is ob
served to the letter. Anyone violating
it will be requested to leave immedi
ately.
The room is fitted with large lea
ther couches and lounging chairs, and
the women who make use of it may
take a nap when they choose.
"I know women who are on the
verge of t breakdown for the simple
reason that they have no place where
they can remain absolutely quiet. I
think our room will solve the prob
lem" said Dr. Myers.
If the "silence room" proves a sue
cess, a similar apartment for men will
be fitted up in another part of the
church.

NINTH AND COMMERCIAL STS.
hroke all world's records
as a producing center of interest in
the theatrical field last week when no
less than seven important attractions
opened there in as many different
theatres for the mid-winter carnival
of dramatics in the Windy City. The
importance of these is apparent at
one glance over the list of stars that
included: Lillion Russell, Viola Allen,
Mrs. Fiske, Marie Cahill, Kyrle Bel-
lew, Joseph O'Lara and the several
stars of a new musical play at the La-
Salle.
The only star of that galaxy to be
seen in a familiar play was Lillian
Russell, who brought out "Wildfire"
in Chicago the season before. It was
her return after a triumphal tour of
the east and with even such unheard
of opposition in every quarter the fa
mous American beauty captivated the
town, and her eneaeement at the Il
linois theatre was the most successful
she ever played in Chicago. This
sneaks volumes for the personal pop
ularity of Miss Russell and it also il
lustrates the hold that her racing
comedy "Wildfire" has upon the peo
ple. To play a repeat engagement in
the face of the most widespread op
position any city has shown in years

NEW YORK, Feb. 17. A child
cannot be bartered to settle a debt
according to a decision just rendered
by Justice Greenbaum in the Supreme
Court here. The case came before him
on a writ of habeas corpus and in
volved four year old Hanna Blueme,
the daughter of Morris Bleume and
wife, who are destitute.
The Bluemes about a year and
half ago left the little girl in the
charge of a Mrs. Jennie Cohen after
making arrangements to make pay
ments of $1 weekly, for her care
Then after finding himself out of
work the father was unable to make
the payments as agreed and when af
ter a few months he acquired some
monev which was presented to Mrs.
Cohen for oavment. Mrs. Cohen an
nounced that, not having what was
due her, she had sold the child to Mr
and Mrs. Frank C Dnell for $50. Mr
and Mrs. Duell flatly refused to give
un the child and as the little girl's
parents had since gone to San Fran
cisco. relatives here began proceed
ing to recover her. In a decision
o- t
handed down yesterday the court, in
restoring the child to her parents,
said in part:
"Mrs. Cohen had no lien upon the
child for unpaid board and lodging
and no legal right to dispose of it to
a stranger. Mrs. Cohen simply had a
money claim against its father. It
mav be that the respondents have be
come attached to the child duing the
few months that they have enjoyed
its society and it is unfortunate that
they may be unable to be re-imbursed
for the expenses in its behalf incurred
during the time that they have main
tained it. but they were not deceived,
Thev fully understood that Mrs. Co
hen had not the slightest right to dis
pose of the child and the monetary
considerations urged in behalf of the
respondents cannot for a moment be
entertained by the court.

SEATTLE. Feb. 17.-A bill has
been Introduced in the legislature
which, if it becomes a law, will give
the counties of the state a good
chance to advertise themselves in a
nnanner that will probably mean a
great increase in immigration to this
state in the course of a year. Repre
sentative Bell, sf Pierce county, is
the author of the measure. The la
coma Chamber of Commerce ha In-
Jorsed the bill and the Seattle Cham
ber will likely do so at its next meet
ing. The bill authorizes county com
missioners to levy a small annua! tax
for advertising purposes. At present
there is no fund for that purpose and
the average county must depend up
on the newspaper pre. of the coun
ty for the exploitation it receives. As
a matter of fact, the press of the state
gives up hundreds of columns of
space every year, free of charge, to
exploiting their particular section.
While it is true that this line of work;
eventually means more business for
the newspapers, at the same tune the
average newspaper editor could af- j
ford to conduct a more elaborate ays-:
tern of advertising for his county if j
the county were in a position to bear
part of the expense. j

There is, of course, a big opposition
o the hill," said Mr. Tatmer while
n the city this week, "but the fact
remains that the measure is the best
thing that the public could possibly
get from the legislature. I shall do
everything to put through the bill.
State regulation of this dais of cor-
porations must come sooner or la
