Fast Moving Play Director King Vidor has sustained this legend in his adventurous and fast-moving picturization of the various incidents which made up | the young outlaw's life, coming to |a spectacular climax in the burn- ing of the McSween home at the close of a harrowing three-day siege. “Three Who Loved” is based on a story written by Martin Flavin, famous playwright. It is about a credulous little Swedish immigrant girl who comes to America to the instance of her fiance. Prefers Giddy Life She finds him a plodder, too am- bitious to play, and falls for the |other man and the giddy whirl of | pleasure he promises. Her fiance awakens to the dan- ger she is in, but too late. He steals from his bank to give her the luxury she craves, and when cor- nered, shifts the blame to the other man.

The theme portrays how administrators of civil statutes in the nerve-taut camp, engaged | in a wholesale “legitimate” despoil- ing of gold placer claims. As is the case whenever officials anywhere permit selfish motives to sully sta- tutes, mob revolt follows. Imple- ments from dainty polished femi- nine nails and hardly less polished and searing feminine wits, to the bone-crushing power of man-brute hands and the reverberating blast of bulk-charge dynamite, are brought into play before gold-craz- ed men and their women—one kind | or another—relax to the less chop- py harbors of sane conclusions. Large Number of Extras Five hundred extras, the largest number ever taken on a location of this sort since the advent of sound pictures, were used by Paramount at its big camp and set at Point Hueneme, California, for “The Spollers.” The set, a mile long and a quar- ter-mile wide, duplicated in every detail the boom town of Nome, as it was 30 years ago at the time of Rex Beach’s classic story. In addition to the 500 extra and bit players taken from Hollywood, Director Edwin Carewe’s company recruited an additional half-thou- sand ‘“‘atmosphere” players from Oxnard, Ventura, Santa Paula, Sat- icoy and other adjacent communi- STRONG MEN——in their grim struggle!

A recent issue of one of the Washington afternoon newspapers in referring to the proposed effort of the Delegate to have a new air mail service established quoted him at some length, and among other things said: “The air route is not as hazard- ous as many believe; certainly it is the North Atlantic Ocean. The great circle route from Europe ™o Asia cuts right through Alaska. It is easy to reach Alaska, and flying already is firmly and safely estab- lished there. “If Bering Stralt is crossed at Wales, northwest of Nome, there is an ocean flight of but 56 miles oh the entire aerial journey to Asia and Europe. There dre sev- eral routes through Asia. Whiie Lindbergh could have flown entire- ly above land, he hopped from Nome to Cape Naravin, and then skirted the Siberian coast. “A direct route, which involved much ocean flying, also was taken by Post and Gatty. In Asia the route could follow the Siberian Rail- road into Northern and Central| Europe, or it might cut through the Kurile Islands to Japan.” Miss Lorene Nelson is a_very attractive young lady school teach- er who has taught a couple of terms in the State of North Da- kota, bhut who has enjoyed the summer with her parents in Wash- ington.

All of which has par- ticular interest to Alaska, where the fisheries continue as the lead- ving industry. It is expected that soon the Division will issue a re- port on findings which will un- doubtedly lead the way to im- proved methods for storing frozen fish in cold storage warehouses, and also aboard fishing vessels. Biochemical studies of the Bureau, in cooperation with the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils, on fish meal and oil, produced improved imanufacturing processes have shown these products as ideal for animal feeding. A further experiment is being conducted to demonstrate fined “fish flour” for human con- sumption. Deterioration of nets has resulted in a study of preservative treatments which considerbly low- of these nets in the United States and Alaska to the amount of $5,- 000,000 annually. The General Manager of the Al- aska Railroad, in writing to Sec- retary of the Interior Wilbur on | the activities of the railroad, among other things says: “It seems that the merchants of Fairbanks and other points made haevy shipments, anticipating the increase in rates, which resulted in less traffic for the following months until the surplus had been consumed. The {month of July, 1931, however, shows jan increase in freight revenue of 1$20,000, or 29 per cent over July, 1930. The, passenger revenue for the' months® of May, June “and July, 1931, was about the same as for the preceding year. The rates appear to have affected local more than tourist travel, although tour- ists are fewer this year. Some passengers formerly traveling by railroad are now using airplanes, bus lines and . private cars, be- tween Fairbanks and the coast, and some perishable freight is mov- {ing by truck from Valdez to Fair- banks.” ‘The people of Ophir have been very anxious to have a Territorial school established at that location and urged the Delegate to take the matter up with the Commis- sicner of Education, W.

Frazier and other members of the Senate Committe2 on Indian Affairs to extend their proposed visit to some of the Western States as far as Idaho, the latter part of September, so as to confer with the natives of Southeast Alaska as far north as Juneau. There is still hope that this may be accomplished, al- though there is ome doubt aabout it, as a recent letter received from Senator Frazier, now in North Dakota, says: “I appreciate your interest in |the Indians of Alaska and assure you that I will be glad to do lanything I can to help. I doubt| whether it will b2 possible, for tne sub-committee to make the trip as far north as Juneau this fall. I trust, however, that some legisla-| tion will be enacted by the next session to help your Indians.” Col. Harrington and his family are seeking to locate some adjoin- ing land on Spit, near Homer, so as to take care of a number of horses and also grow hay. Fur farmers along the Alaska Railroad are protesting against | Freight Circular No. 45, issued in 11926, which prohibits the shipment of live valuable fur bearing anl- mals. If shipped they must be sent {by express, at an enormous cost, which makes shipment prohibitive. It is claimed that no other rail- road in the country makes such a ru'> and one trader writes: “When a rancher i§' prevented from gell- ing breeding stock and exchanging |breeders with other ranchers he is deprived of considerable part of his just revenues and a means of building up his herd of foxes. Al- ready 18 fur farmers have closed | their pens and moved, starting| again elsewhere, and this winter | more will move.” Representative Ernest Willard i Gibson, of Vermont, Chairman of !the House Committee on Terri- tories, returned the other day (rom‘ a four months trip abroad. He; was not able to get to Alaska but( did visit Hawaiia, Guam, the Phil- ippines, Hongkong, China and Jap- |an. He was particularly interested in the work done in those countries over which the United States has Jurisdiction, and says: “Hawaii has made more progress in material prosperity in the de- THURSDAY PRIMITIVE MEN!

A coh- scolidated bill will be introduced |at the next session.” The people of various sections of Interior Alaska continue to be 'agitated over the fear that the two or three airplane companies who have received mail contracts will slight those residents who live along the various trails. The De- partment insists that all contracts have been made as heretofore and :call for rural mall delivery, and that it is up to the contractors to see that the usual service is furnished. Fearing that they are to be neglécted people living along | the trail between Nenana and Lake Minchumina have sent in a peti- tion asking for a bi-monthly mail service over the trail. e i Old papers u ‘tu mn?
