ARGENTINA TO
KEEP CONTROL
OF PETROLEUM
BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 7 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Argentina has refused
a British offer of £10,000,000 for the
control of the government’s petroleum j
producing properties, maintaining its
traditional attitude of guarding these
deposits for the benefit of the nation.
The offer was made by Frederick
White, representing the Cowdray in
terests.
While the government’s petroleum
fields at Comodoro Rivadavia are pro
ducing approximately 200,000 tons of
petroleum annually, the fuel shortage
in the nation has given rise to agita
tion for more extensive development.
A dispatch from London quotes Mr.
White as explaining that President
Irigoyen expressed himself as anxious
for increased production, but that he
was unwilling to see the exploitation
taken out of the hands of the Argen
tine people.
Other offers for these fields have
been refused in the past, including
offers from North American promot
ers.
REX BEACH PICTURE
BRAND” MOST
POWERFUL STORY
We have hissed many a faked
“Alaskan” picture. But last night’s
audience sat spellbound through the
presentation of the latest Rex Beach
production, “The Brand.” It is a
powerful story of a woman, two men,
and the unwritten law of the North
land. It is convincing, real, intensely
dramatic. The details are wonderfully
accurate, and the characters splendid
ly portrayed. A picture worth seeing,
and which seen will not be forgotten.
It is repeated for the last night to
nigh.
Tomorrow night comes Alma Reu
bens in “Madam Sphinx,” a mystery
picture staged in Paris—fascinating,
intriguing and alluring. A news reel
of current events, and an unusually
clever two-reel comedy, “Whose Little
Wife Are You?” will complete a strong
and well rounded program.
Inquiries have been received at
Ketchikan for a boat and equipment
to take a party of Eastern pulp men
for a cruise in the Ketchikan sec
tion for a month or two.
The TJ. S. S. Saturn,, which usually
comes to Alaska in the radio service,
was recently at the Pribilofs with a
general cargo of freight for the bu
reau of fisheries.
The assessed valuation of the pro
perty at Petersburg is $563,050.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 7 (by Asso
ciated Press).—This city, which al
ready possesses a splendid municipal
opera house, is now planning a munic
ipal dramatic theater where national
dramas written by national authors
and performed by native talent will be
pi’esented under the auspices of the
municipality. It is intended that the
new theater shall be largely for the
benefit of the public.
The project provides for the estab
lishment of a stock company of which
two-thirds are to be native Brazilians
and the remainder naturalized Brazil
ians who have had their artistic train
ing in this country.
The company will perform for reg
ular seasons in Rio de Janeiro and
make annual tours to the state capitals
and the principal cities of Brazil.
SMALL INCREASE IN
CANADA IMMIGRATION
OTTAWA, Ont., Sept. 7 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Although the total im
migration into Canada for the six
month’s period ended June 80 showed
an increase of more than 17,000 over
the corresponding period of 1919, the
number of those from the United
States was 3,000 less than last year.
During the first half of 1920, 68,857
persons were admitted to the Domin
ion on immigrant status, an increase
of 17,667 over 1919 figures. Of these
37,261 came from the British Isles, as
compared to 16,801 last year. From
the United States there were 25,183
while in the first half of 1919 there
were 28,623. Other countries this
year contributed 6,413.
TAKING NO CHANCES
ON LABOR SHORTAGE
NEW YORK, Sept. 7 (by Associat
ed Press).—The labor problem is no
problem at all to Carl Paluson who
has just arrived from Copenhagen
with his wife and 15 children to oper
ate a farm in Minnesota. He ex
plained that if he couldn’t get the
work done with this force, he’d send
home for reserves—two married
daughters and three married sons, and
nine grandchildren.
