A WORK OF ART
Sometinos a picturization of a
famous book oroves di^apoointing,
but the moving picture of Count
Tolstoi’s story “The Cossacks”
proved to bo as good a work of art
as the written story. It can be
praised from every angle, which is
"unusual. e,rpn in special features;
every actor carried his part per
fectly. giving spirit and action to
the storv, the settings themselves
could be enioyed as a series of
paintings. Not since the great
work in “The Covered Wagon” has
Ernest Torrence had a part that fit
him so well as the Chief of the
half-wild Cossacks tribe. The fea
ture is not only highly entertaining
but is also highly educational.

! After a long period of quiescense
Mount Wrangell suddenly broke
, into eruption recently, reports
the Valdez Miner, and throughout j
a day and night threw out dense j
columns of smoke and ashes from
several vents.
Early the following morning
there was emitted a huge puff of;
smoke which ended the eruption
and the old volcano lapsed into
quietude.
The eruption was visible for
many miles along the Richardson
Highway, and although the smoke
has disappeared, there still re
mained a wide blanket of ashes
across the face of the mountain,
plainly visible on the snow, to
mark the latest activity of the;
volcano.

Electric energy will probably be
i supplied to the City of Anchorage,
jfrom the hydroelectric plant at
Eklutna within a week. The gates
I in the diversion dam on the Eklut
na river were closed Monday, and
the water began flowing thru the
tunnel and down the penstock to
the power plant, which is located
but a short distance from the rail
road.
When the water was diverted to
the plant, everything worked
smoothly, according to H. I. Wood,
I engineer in charge of construction
of the project. The machinery in
the power plant has to be “broken
in”, just as a new automobile, and
soon as the “breaking in” process is
completed, the steam power plant
of the Alaska R. R., will be cut out
and the hydroelectric plant cut in
to supply Anchorage users of elec
trical energy.
For 40 days and 40 days it
rained recently in that area of
the Richardson Highway between
Majers and Paxon; and not an
ark in sight.
