■CHICKENS” COMING
TO COLISEUM SUNDAY
■'Chickens,” Said to be a very clev
er comedy, featuring Douglas Mac
Loan, will be the production at the
Coliseum tomorrow and .Monday
nights. Gladys George appears as
MacLeun's leading woman. Resides)
t-hu feature there will be a Rurtoa
Holmes travelogue and a two-reel
Western drama, "Ilfs 1’al’s Girl.”
The «tory of “Chickens” is as fol
lows :
Deems Stanfood, a wealthy yon up
man. goes to the country to live up
to a provision in his utIHe’s will.
After meeting Julia Stoneham he it
reconciled to the life and decides to
raise chickens, settling down next t:
Julia’s Tine farm. The trustee o(
his estate loses out in a series of
investments and Deems Is confront
ed with the necessity of making ltis
farm p'a.y. His chickens fail to lay
and he mortgages his farm to Willie
Figg, a thrifty young person who is
also in Jove with Julia.
Supposedly rich, butt with a one
figure bank account, Deems’ inability
to meet his bills and contribute tu
town Charities, bring him into dis
favor with the people All this acts
against bis suit for Julia’s hand, and
Willie Figg’s suit apparently pros
pers. By chance Julia discovers the
loss of Deems- fortune and takes over
the mortgage from Willie Figg, who
is about to fore/lose. When Dedans
learns tills be presses his suit so
successfully that Willie Figg is left
to look for another sweetheart.

detailed and asks that the Vtorn-"
General be instructed to continue h.s
investigations.
Rejects Recommendation
At the conclusion of the public
hearings. Attorney GerW.ii Rustgard.
in re.iponae to an inquiry as
I remedy for the condition hoa'.le;
to a;
; - I to
exist, said the Territory should
i pose additional taxes on the canner
: ies and with the proceeds subsidize
I steanishtp lines operating both h ■
I l ween ISeattle and Alaskan port -
and in intra-Territorial traffic. This
recommend a lion was not acceptable
to Ihe majority.
In concluding the report it is said:
“Your committee Is of the opinion
that the hearings on tlte rat-' ques
tion were of Interest to la - Legisla
ture and to the public and threw a
good deal of light on the abject of
water transportation- We do not be
lieve, however, that ihe Attorney Gen
eral wa* sufficiently thorough in the
investigations made by him anl
which were made the ha is of his r -
*
port on titis subject to fairly pie -nl'
the inatter to the Legislature and to j

“Transportation Is of vital in:crest
to the people of the Territory, far
without adequate transportation at
re anon able rates, the Territory can
not be developed, but we are of, the
opinion that tts present stage of d *
vdopmer.-: nothing can be gained by;
having the Territory embark in the i
transportation business to tiny ex
tant whatever. ‘
“We recommend that in view of t.i.
showing made by the Attorney Gen
eral in his report on this subject toi
the Legislature, which your commit
tee inves.igated, it would he unw.se:
to spend any. further funds In eon-j

Operation^ Are Successful
Quoting from a statement ol t to
operations of the A! i tka Steamship
Company, f urn tailed the commit! -e i
by General Manager Knickerbocker,
the irtinorlty report declares i' is'
evident that ‘'the operations of the
Alaska ^Steamship Company have h -cn '
a aweeesg.” It declares also that j
the figures showing surplus and un
divided profits of that company, "the
committee is of the opinion that th
transportation business in the waters,
of Alaska is a safe and paying in
vestment."

'both rce.in and in the Inland wit.-r-j

While the minority report praised
the Attorney General for “his hona-iLj
endeavor under adverse condition.,
to set out in his report to the Reg s
lature, as lie sees it. the inequitable
tariff charges of the AlastJa steam j
ship lines and the uftjnst dl/crtmiln 1-,
