OLD MOVIE HOUSE
TAKES A XEW NAME
He who does not believe In signs
loses a goodly slice from ,the spice
ot lite, so it is demonstrated that
the proprietors ot the old Popular
Picture Palace are somewhat super
stitious. for they believe in "signs."
This will be a good hunch to follow,
for everybody that passes under the
new sign "Fifth Avenue Theater"
will have good luck, for they will
have an evening of good entertain
ment.
Thus It iB that the old "Pop" pass
es into the discard and the new
"Fifth Aveuoo" movie arises from
the ruins, a bigger and better movie
house than ever before.
The sign referred to In the above
is from the Vic Sparks studio, and is
up-lo-date in design as to style and
lettering. Let's go!
DON'T FORGET ELKS' DANCE
NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT
Don't forget the Elks' dance on
Saturday night.
This is the last one of the season
for the Elks and will be a jolly wind
up of a series of most enjoyable
hops balls and dances.
CHINA NOT A MUSEUM
CMnn, like Italy ami. Greece. Is
frequently misjudged by persons of
culture because they regard It as a
museum, writes Hertraud Kusseli In
the Dial. The preservation of ancient
beauty Is very Important, but no vigor
on* forward looking man la contem
to he a mere curator. The result Is
that the best people In China tetid to
be Philistines as regards all that Is
pleasing to the Europeuu tourist. The
European In China, quite a part from
Interested motives, is apt to be ultra
conservative and non-European. But
this Is the attitude of an outsider, of
one who regards China as a country
to be looked at rather than lived in
as a country with a past rather than
a future. Patriotic Chinese naturally
d.> not view tl.eir country In this way:
they wish their country to acquire
■That Is host In the modern world, noi
merely to remain an Interesting sur
vlval of a bygone age. like Oxford 01
• he Yellowstone park. As the first
-tep to this end. they do all they can
t.> promote higher education, ami to In
I ere.tse the number of Chinese who
'iu. use and appreciate western km'Wl
\ eilge without being the slaves of west
em follies. What Is being done In
this direction is very Interesting, and
one of the most cheerful things hap
pening In our not very cheerful epoch
Every man who owns a wood lot
owes the country as well as himself
an obligation to look over his trees
when winter o|>eiis. Those showing
signs of demy should be marked for
treatment. I>ead branches should he
removed and other first aid should he
administered w hich In the days when
timber was plenty would not have
been considered worth while. The
amount of firewood that may he ob
j talned from dead and falleu trees on
I even a small lot is astonishing. Hour*
I which might otherwise be wasted will

I
| says the New York Herald. Early
winter Is an excellent time to plan
i planting of young trees to take the
! places of those that have gone, as
I well as for selecting growth to be
eliminated where It Is too thick to per
mit healthy development.

ALASKA BUREAUS WILL nE
MOVED TO CENTER IN JUNEAU
Beginning with the first of the j
next fiscal year—July 1—federal
bureaus whose activities are cen-,
tered In Alaska heretofore making)
their headquarters in Seattle or oth-)
er cities on the Pacific Coast, will :
be transferred to Alaska, with Ju
neau as headquarters, according to
information received here from re
liable sources. This move is in ac
cord with a policy of the present ad
ministration which was announced
some time ago.
The main bureau to make such a,
transfer will be the Bureau of Edu
cation, under Supt. W. T. Lopp.
whose organization headquarters are
now maintained In Seattle. Mr.
Lopp. It is stated, is In favor of the
move and believes It will work out
advantageously in the prosecution of
the bureau's work In the territory.
Efforts to have a separate dis
trict of the bureau of public roads
apparently have been unavailing. Al
aska. it Is probable, will continue
under the Portland district as here
tofore. However, in order to meet
'situations as they arise. C. W.
Cheatham, senior highway engineer
of the bureau and In charge of its
Alaska activities, has been given
greatly enlarged powers and now has
a rating virtually equivalent to that
of an assistant district engineer.—
Juneau Empire.

FOREST FABLE
A Talc and t Moral
Harry Hunter rai wise He never
traveled with a tenderfoot crowd
and generally pickeo an national for
est for his hsntlng ground As a
consequence be alwaya bagged his
i game and acqlred a wide reputation
as a "real woodsman "
"A five-pointer for mine," said
Harry one hot August day So he
: bought ammunition, oiled up bis
gun, collected bis simple camp out
fit and slipped away one night for
the mountains. There he talked
with the forest rangers, from whom
be got maps and Us campfire per
mit. and finally made camp beside a
I little spring In the midst of a fir
| forest.
"It's an early bird that catch?*
the worm," mused Harry Hunter
"So tomorrow I'll leave camp before
daylight and by dark I'll be back
with the buck."
And be was—but his camp had
disappeared In lt« place was a
heap of smoking embers, and all
j around a raging forest fire. Tor
Harry, wise woodsman that he was
had been careless. With his mind
all set for the buck, be had "for
gotten" that water and dirt, used in
time, make a campfire safe
Bnt he'll remember next time For
he had to fight fire for a week, the
ranger ate most of his meat, the
judge waxed sarcastic as he imposed
a $50 fine, and a lumber company,
whose timber bad been destroyed,
entered suit for damages.
"The bigger they are the harder
they fall." murmured sympathetic
friends when news of Harry's trou
bles rcohed home.
Moral—It's a wise man who re
members In time.
