FAMOUS SCOUT JUNEAU GUEST FOR TOMORROW Dick Destalet fio Visit Here| Tomorrow Enroute to | Kodiak for Hunt : Robert Dick Douglas, Eagle Scout, and one of three Boy Scouts mak- | ing an African safari with Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson last year, will | arrive here on the Admiral Evans tomorrow afternoon and be a guest | of local Scouts for a few hours. He | is enroute to Kodiak Island for a bear hunt as the guest of the Ko- diak Guides’ Association. Douglas will be met on his arrival by H. L. Redlingshafer, who will act as his host for the three local Scout troops of which he is Chief Scoutmaster. ~The visitor will be taken to the Governor's Mansion where he wlil be received by Gov. George A. Parks. Later it is plan- ned to take him for a ride over Gla Highway to Mendenhall Glacier, and, if time permits, to the Scout Camp at Eagle River. Plans for a general reception by all of the local Scouts and a review of the troops were abandoned. Many of the local Scouts will be at Eagle River tomorrow working on the cabin and as time for completing that structure is very short, it was felt that it was inadvisable to sus- pend the work. It is hoped Doug- las will have time to visit the camp and meet the boys there during the afternoon. SEAL LEAVES MONDAY FOR WESTERN CRUISE The patrol boat Seal, Wheeler, Capt. Roy of the Alaska Game Com- mission, will leave port Monday morning for Western points. It will be absent practically the rest of the year. E. M. Goddard, Assistant Execu- tive Officer of the Commission, will go as far as Kodiak aboard the vessel. Later in the season Warden | Homer Jewell will join the boat and cover Western areas. STRAWBERRY POINT TO GET SMALL BOAT DOCK Plans for a small dock boat at Strawberry Point are being pre- pared at the Alaska Road Com- mission offices and bids for that structure will be called for early next week, it was made known to- day. The dock is to be constructed by the Commission under co-oper-| ate agreement with the Territorial | Road Commission with Territorial funds. It will be 42 by 30 feet, and require about 11,000 board feet of lumber. Creosoted piles will be used. It will be built on the site| where the old landing scow was formerly located. Work will be done by contract. R o S 8. Guyot, broker, returned on the Admiral Rogers from the triangle trip to Skagway, Haines and Sitka. | | STORY FOR COLISELM | ! “The Winning of Barbara Worth,” released by United Artists Corpo: ation, is the feature at the Col seum for Sunday and Monday. Ron- ald Colman and Vilma Banky have the leading roles. The screen pro- duction is taken from the famous| novel by Harold Bell Wright and‘ adapted to the screen by Frances Marion. ! There will also be a movtetone‘ news and a Talkie Act “Amateur | Night,” which is said to have a tremendous wallop to it. | The next Vitaphone feature at: the Coliseum will be next Tuesday | night with the “seeing and hear- ing” of “Tenderloin,” in which Con- | rad Nagel is the star. . & i | ,|! “WHITE GOLD” IS AT | PALACE ON SUNDAY OUR SERVICE EXTENDS ALL OVER THE WORLD THE First National Bank OF JUNEAU £ Is the crepe-de-chene picture passing? William K. Howard, direc- tor of “The Thundering Herd” “Gigolo,” and other screen success- es, thinks so. “The screen is entering upon a new era,” Howard states. “During| 1929, I firmly believe we shall see| the simply-told screen story exceed | in popularity the tremendous or-' nate, fluffy style of romantic drama | and spectacle which has held the, spotlight in the past. | “In ‘White Gold’, which I Iflmed| at the DeMille studio with Jetta| Goudal in the starring role, I have | attempted to bring to the screen a simple but vital study in human | cmotions. There are but four| characters in the story, and the' entire action takes place in less than one day within the confines of a ranch in the drought-stricken Arizona sheep, country. There are rio spectacular cavalry charges, no o ride-to-the-rescue thrills, yet I be- Heve it will sweep an audience off | its feet more readily than does' the most spectacular melodrama. i Judging by the enthusiastic praise heaped upon “White Gold,” by na- tionally known reviewers who wit-/ nessed the film at a special studio showing Mr. Howard has success- fully carried out his idea. The pic- ture comes to the Palace Sundayl Kenneth Thompson and Georgs Bancroft are featured.

Can Impose Duties ‘There can be no doubt, declared the opinion, that the Legislature can impose additional duties on Foderal officials in the Territory as long as such duties are germane to the offices of those officers. If they are duties of that class and not in effect new offices, the Legis- lature has the power to impose them and that without the express authority granted it in the amend- ment of August 29, 1914 to the Or- ganic Act. In support of this con- tention Mr. Rustgard cited a Mon- tana case coming up before the Territorial Supreme Court of that QUALITY and SERVICE from ALASKA’S Lumber Yard Specify Farrell Lum- ber . it is your assurance of First Suah’ly - Special rading - Prompt Shipment.
