TO SEND NOON
ON MISSION
TO CAPITAL
* - .. --
A movement has been started at
Seward to send John Noon to Wash
ington, D. C., to secure a revision
and modification of oppressive bu
reaucratic regulations, rules and prac
tices. The residents of Seward have
subscribed over $1,800 to go toward
defr£.$pg the expenses and other sec
tions^Jf Alaska will be asked to as
sist in raising a fund of from $5,000
to $10,000.
The Gateway outlines the plans as
follows:
Mr. Noon may leave within the next
two weeks for Washington City, to
fulfill the mission with which he is
charged by the great order of Pio
neers and the allied commercial and
industrial interests of Alaska. He
goes as the spokesman, the living
^price, of United Alaska to represent
her needs, her aspirations, and her
resources.
Arrangements are being perfecj^d
in the States for his journey to * be
attended by incidents worthy of its
dignity. Among such details contem
plated, and mostly already arranged
will be a stop off at Chicago by Mr.
Noon as the guest of the Chicago
Tribune, “The Greatest Newspaper
in the World,” according to its age
old motto; and an address before the
Chicago Association of Commerce on
Alaskan conditions and needs. From
Chicago he will proceed to Detroit
as the guest of Henry Ford, and
^ while in the automobile city will de
liver an address before the Detroit,
chamber of commerce. The next stop
will be in the city of brotherly love
where Cyrus H. K. Curtis and Ran
dolph Marshall, respectively owner
and editor of the Philadelphia Pub
lic Ledger will entertain Alaska’s
representative, and the Business
<-—- —
Men’s Association will hear him tell
of his official mission and of Alaska’s
hopes. New York will next extend
greetings; where a dinner will be
tendered Mr. Noon by the New York
Press Club; and later by an address
to the New York Chamber of Com
merce. Washington City will then re
ceive his attention for such time as
may be required to effect the purpose
of his mission, and the return to Alas
ka will be followed by a full report of
results.

been spoken but that the criticized
and critizer had a falling out.

QUANTITIES OF
AMERICA COAL
ENTER BRITAIN
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Aug. 23
(by Associated Press).—America is
threatening the British coal monopoly
of Europe. W. J. Noble, chairman of
the Tyne improvement commission, in
the course of a recent speech, drew
attention to new competition from the
United States and Australia, n
Recently he saw in Scandinavia, he
said, vast sacks of coal from America
and saw a contract concluded for 200,
000 tons of coal from Australia. He
had learned also, he said, that last
year the United States exported nearly
21.000,000 tons of coal to Europe and
South America, compared with 1,500,
000 the year before the war.
There was a real danger of under
estimating the American coal compe
tition in markets which were once vir
tually the monopoly of this country,
he declared, and gave the following
figures ^to illustrate his remarks:
Shipments to Europe
1913 1919
From— Tons Tons
United Kingdom....58.458,000 27,468,000
United States. 476,000 12,713,000
Shipments to Mediterranean
From—
United Kingdom....20,667.000 7,576,000
United States. 429,000 5,840,000
Shipments to South America
From—
United Kingdom ... 6,893,000 903,000
United States. 445,000 2,216,000
The increased production was neces
sary to regain trade, said Mr. Noble,
and with the recent advance in the
United States in the price of coal and
the government embargo he believed
there was an opportunity to do it.

GREAT GRIFFITH PLAY
PRESENTED TONIGHT
AT EMPRESS THEATER
There is only one David Wark Grif
fith, and only a Griffith can produce
such plays as “Birth of a Nation.” “In
tolerance,” “The Great Love,” and
“Romance of Happy Valley.”
As different as day is from night,
as song of birds from the roar of
guns, so does “The Romance of Happy
Valley” differ from the spectacular
plays that preceded it. The very name
implies its quality. It is the greatest
“human” story that Griffith has ever
portrayed; it deals with real people,
and its wonderful appeal lies in its
naturalness and simplicity.
Naught of the stupendous, the
sumptuous, the magnificent, the awful,
the overpowering magnitude that
marked the first three great Griffith
productions, is to be found in the
“Romance of Happy Valley.” It’s very
charm lies in the dappled sunlight that
rests over the valley wherein the boy
and the girl (Lillian Gish and Robert
Harron) live and love, suffer for
awhile and find their happiness.
The supporting cast, needless to
say, is perfect, each character a type,
and each type true to life.
It is not a picture that will awe
you into silence, but it will leave you
feeling that you have spent a happy
evening with real “folks,” friends
whom you will know, and meet again.
