WEATHER CUTS ROAD WORK BY 0 PER CENT Season Abnormally Wet ‘ and Hampers Road Crews Says Engineer Taylor Work on interior road projects by the Alaska Road Commission { Wwas curtailed approximately 30 pc tions, according to Tke P. Taylor, Assistant Engineer, who returned here today after about 60 days’ absence. He throughout the interior, visiting Valdez, Chitina, Gulkana, the Chis- | tochina route, roads in the Fair- banks-Circle district, McKinley Park, Wiseman, and Hot Sprlnxs,l including the American Creek area. The summer was abnormally wet, Mr. Taylor said. This made work | on new projects unusually dlmculti and hampered maintenance and other work. Despite the. wet weather, Rich- ardson Highway has been in fairly good shape all summer, he 5aid. connecting Faii- banks and Circle, completed last year, was considerably cut up but remained passable for vehicular traffie. Graveling on that route was in progress on the north end and 20 miles will be completed by the end of the scason. Two spurs to it Sources and its wonderful people, | (but. when it eomes to lilacs, Cali- |fornia must bow 'to the East. | This was discovered by John Mc- Cormick, producer of “Lilac Time,” Colleen Moore’s First National spe- efal production which comes to the Palaée Theatre, beginning tonight. “Lilac Time” is an adaptation of Jane Cowl and Jane Murfin's stage success and deals with the romance of a little French girl, who is in love with a young British aviator. The garden in her grandfather's home where they pledge their troth is filled with lilac blossoms, hence |the title. When filming on the production was started at First National stu- dios at Burbank, California, Mc- Cormick instructed the property department to see that a number of lilac bushes were planted on the set. The property department reported ‘back that although prac- tically everything under the sun was grown in California, lilacs had never been raised with any suc- cess. As a result the bushes were ordered from New York state and rushed to the coast. “Lilac Time” was directed by George Pitzmaurice and is said to Be the greatest picture in which Miss Moore has ever appeared.

The city of Fairbanks is financing the work which is being done by the Road Commission. The Commission will construct a road about three-quar- ters of a mile long connecting the field with the town. i “BEAT GOVERNOR TO T YS JUNEAU LAD Wallis George, eleven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wallis 8. George, is triumphantly advertis- ing the fact that he beat Gov. George A. Parks to digging the first shovel-full capitol site. Wallis heard that the Governor wotilld dig the first dirt on the site on Wedneésddy noeon, and so he “beat the Governor to it” by getting a bucket of dirt on Tuesday night. Wallls' s¢hoo' chums have made a popular refrain out of his oft-repeated “I beat the Governor to it,” and bewildered parents may now understand the meaning of the expression.
