THE WAV TO CENSORSHIP
A great deal has been said, pro and con. about censorship of the mov
ing pictures) but a little two-inch item that appeared in yesterday's papers
points the way unerringly to the kind of censorship that will get results
every time, and without passing a single law. The Item referred to re
lated that films featuring "Patty" Arbuckle, whose production cost was in
the neighborhood of $500,000 and from which the producers had hoped to
uiake a profit of two million dollars, have been permanently scrapped.
The reson is as simple as anything can be. These films, in which a
half million dollars had been invested, were thrown away because their
owners realized that hey were unsalable. Arbuckle is no longer a box of
fice attraction. He w.is acquitted by a court of law of the crime of which
he was accused, but in the court of public opinion he has been found to be
a lewd degenerate. If an attempt were made to show his films, an indig
nant public would stay away.
So far as the moving pictures are concerned, there is now far less need
of a censorship of any sort than at any time in the receut pust. The "eter
nal triangles" and the vamps and the manifold appeals to sex that ivere
held by t..e producers a year or so ago to be necessary iu order to pack the
theatres are giwug way to film productions based upon the great classics
and the near classics of literature. The lure of romance and adventure
is supplanting, as a box office asset, the lure of mere salaciousness. The
moving picture industry has made tremendous strides within a short space
of time in the direction 01 greater deceucy. and it is a fine reflection ujoii
the fundamental cleanliness of human nature that the audiences that are
greeting these better films are just as large as the audiences of a few years
ago.
But. getting back to censorship, the Arbuckle affair and Its recent se
quel—the destruction of films that ware made by him—is a splendid «.x
ample of the way to censor the movies. If the public will manifest its
displeasure with that which is not good as effectively as it manifested its
displeasure in the case of Arbuckle. no other form of censorship wi'S
be needed.—Eugene, (Ore ) Morning Register.
HAUBIT MAKES PRINCE Rl'PERT PROSPEROUS
Prince Rupert continues to lead in halibut receipts in the North Pacific
held. During the first ten months of this year some 900 carloads of hali
lut were shipped through that port. In all. during that period, a total
of 21.0S3.S50 pounds of fish were uuloaded at Prince Rupert docks for
shipment to the world's markets and the larger part of that quantity re
entered American cities and was consumed by American buyers.
from fish alone the British Columbia port reaps a substantial return.
Estimating the Jrice received for the teu-month period at 10 cents per
pound, the value of its halibut shipments would be in excess of $2.00i),<
000. Last year L'4,750,000 pounds of fish were unloaded at Prince Rupert.
If the receipts this month and next are up to the average, this year's uu
loadlzigs will be slightly larger. This means continued prosperity for the
town which has wisely left nothing undone to promote Its fisheries market
—Juneau Empire.
Offers Aid to
Alaska Cripples
Chairman F\ Mears ot the Alasi:;> j
Engineering Commissi. recently r.1-j
ceived an acknowledgement from Se
attle which may be of interest to the •
parents i.i Alaska, especially thoso
who nave children in need of medi
cal or surgical attention.
From time to time samples of gro
ceries. etc.. are left over in the of
fice of the General Purchasing Agent
of the A. E. C. at Seattle, and it
has been the custom to distribute
same among some of the charitable
tnstilulious In the city. Following a
recent distribution of this kind, the
commission's representative at Se
attle received the following letter
from Olina W. Roberts, treasurer of
the Children's Orthopedic Hospital,
at 2107 Warren Avenue.
"Will you please extend to the
mem!>ers of the Alaska Engineering
Commission, and accept a due por
tion for yourself, the gratitude of
the trustees of the Orthopedic Hos
pital for your generous gift of
sample provisions a few days ago.
"You undoubtedly noticed on the
occasion of your visit the large
family we care for up here and have
an idea of how much such a gener
ous gift is appreciated. It occurs
to me that among the men in Alaska
who have families with them there
might be some crippled child or one
in need of surgical care and that
you might reach the little sufferer
and let hi* parents know that a bed
awaits him ia the Orthopedic Hos
pital in Seattle, if anythlug can be
done to cure him or improve his
condition. The paramount wish ot
the trustees of the hospital is to
spread the .news among the little
crippled children of the Northwest
that no one will be left uncared
for."
It is just possible that some em
ploye of the Commission or other
reader, has a child which could be
benefited by this hospital, and the
very kind offer made by them is
passed along in the hope that if
there be such person they may b»
reached.

CANADIAN MINER INEARTHS
BOXES DEFl'NCT MAMMOTH
Edmonton, Alta., Nov. 28.—In
a valley of the far northern section
of British Columbia, close to the Yu
kon border, which it is believed was
never before visited by a white man,
Frank Perry, mining engineer of
Vancouver, has discovered the re
mains of mastadons that once roam
ed northern Canada. The location
of the valley Is uot marked on maps,
but It is north and west of the head
waters of the Flndlay river. Indians
will not travel through the valley,
believing It to be haunted by the
giant animals whose bones they have
seen.
In addition to the bones there are
footprints in the sandstone and shale
of some other prehistoric monster;
these are clearly defined marks
showing that the marker of the
tracks was a three toed animal.
The bones, which are of great
size, are not fossilized but are in a
state of excellent preservation. Hip
bones and ^e-.tions of the spine were
found by Mr. Perry, who believes
that by excavation specimens of
much prehistoric value could be un
earthed .
Mr*. Perry, a recent visitor here,
has spent 14 years in the far north
ern country In the quest of minerals,
two pack dogs being his companions.
Neither canoes nor pack horses can
be used to gain access to the district,
where these remains were found.and
so far the only manner of traveling
has been to live on game, using dogs
to pack the camp equipment on their
back. It requires a year to make
the journey in this way. but an air
plane could cover the distance in a
few days.
