Since visiting Alaska in 1913 on a
tour of inspection for the war depart
ment, Col. James G. Steese, new chair
man of the Alaska road commission
has had a great interest in the terri
tory and has wanted to come back.
On that tour he was in the Cook’s
Inlet country and went into the Wil
low creek district and to Gulkana. He
was there wiien the Shushanna stam
pede was on.
In addition to the distinguish ser
vice medal received from the United
States government during the war,
Col. Steese had a number of decora
tions from foreign governments re
ceived while on a special mission in
the Balkans and the countries adja
cent to the Adriatic Sea. He was
acting as a special representative of
the secretary of war at that time.
Outside of his regular army duties
Col. Steese has had a varied engin
eering experience having been, while
serving as chief of engineers, the
war department representative on
the Lincoln Highway Commission and
the Highway Transport Commission
of the Council of National Defense.
He did tvro tours of duty on the con
struction work for the new Panama
railway and the second ■was in the
designing division in the office of the
Chief Engineer, Gen. Goethals. Dur
ing the Mexican flurry in 1916 he "was
special representative of the general
manager of the Western Maryland
railroad.
Col. James Gordon Steese is a
natty looking soldier. 38 years old.
He is unmarried and belongs to the
Elks and Shriners’ Lodges. He likes
the outdoor life and says that he
was very glad when he wras trans
ferred from Washington to his pres
ent assignment. He will try to get
in touch with the people of Juneau
and to get thoroughly familiar with
the work of his office here before
leaving for the interior of Alaska
on a tour of the various road pro
jects.
He is making no announcement
of policies but assures the people
that he is anxious to see the natural
resources of the territory unlocked
and the highway system built up so
that it will help in the development
of the country.
MEAT PACKERS SELL
ALASKAN BUSINESS
The Wilson Fisheries have dispos
ed of their cannery interests in Alas
ka, consisting of canneries at Ketchi
kan and Port Walter, according to
an Associated Press dispatch from
Seattle. The buyer is the Austin
Nichols Company, big wholesale gro
cres of New York City and Chicago, i
The purchase of the Wilson inter-1
ests by the Austin Nichols Company
is in line with the movement said to
have been started by the latter to
get control of Alaska packing plants1
in order to handle the entire packs
without purchasing through brokers.
It is also in line with the recently;
adopted policy of the big meat pack
ing concerns, such as the Wilson
Company, to let go of their side lines
and concentrate on the packing of
meat exclusively.
Thomas E. Wilson, millionaire
president of the American Meat Pack
ers and former owner of a controlling
interest in the Wilson Fisheries will
leave Seattle tomorrow for Alaska. He
will be accompanied north by his wife
and two children and Charles W. Pat*
terson, President of the Austin
Nichols Company. Although the can-1
neries will be inspected by the party,
the trip is said to be entirely in the
nature of a vacation all details of the
cannery deal having been concluded
already.

“BROKEN BLOSSOMS” IS
MASTERFUL PRODUCTION
OF VARIED ENVIRONMENT
“Broken Blossoms,” the latest crea
tion of David Wark Griffith, that mas
ter of the screen, is a thing almost too
beautiful, too sublime, for words. The
high art of the screen has never before
been so fully exemplified. The charm
and delicacy of Oriental mysticism
contrasts with the brute force of the
London prizefighter; the squalor of
the slums, and the splendors of the
East; high ideals and a love like unto
a pure white flame against bestial pas
sions and degradation—all is blended,
by the hand of the master, like the
play of sunshine and shadows, into a
picture so delicate that it seems like
a dream, yet so vivid that it leaves
us gasping.
But comment is unnecessary, for the ■
Line of this production has preceded
it. Those who have not seen “Broken
Blossoms” have heard of it, and those
who have seen it will see it again.
It is not a play suitable for children,
and the Empress management does
lot encourage the atendance of any
child under twelve years of age.
In no event will children be ad
mitted for this production tonight and
tomorrow, unless accompanied by
their parents, and they must remain
seated with parents throughout the
performance, instead of in the front
rows as usual. This precaution is
taken to avoid all possibility of noise
or disturbance, which would seriously
mar the enjoyment of this wonderful
picture.
Particular mention should be made
of the music which will be rendered by
Mr. Fairman. A special musical score
has been written for “Broken Blos
soms,” adding immeasurably to its ef
fectiveness. Needless to say; it will
be rendered with Mr. Fairman’s usual
masterly interpretation. The musical
program alone will be well worth the
price of admission.
Admission prices for “Broken Blos
soms” have been fixed at 50 cents for
adults and 30 cents for children.
