MUSICAL TREAT FOR
SEWARDITES TONIGHT
IT LIBERTT THEATRE
This evening at the Liberty The
atre there will be special vocal and
instrumental selections given by
Mrs. F. R. Wadleigh, wife of the
coal expert, and special representa
tive of the President, investigating
deposits tributary to the govern
ment railroad, and making exhaust
ive tests of the various grades of
Alaska coal.
For some time the Liberty man
agement has been anxious to obtain
this treat for the people of Seward.
Mr. and Mrs. Wadleigh consented to
show their appreciation of the many
courtesies they said Seward resi
dents have shown them.
There are so many other accom

well known for, that most people
have not learned that both Mrs.
Wadleigh and her husband are ac
complished musicians, Mrs. Wad
leigh, both voice and piano, and
Mr. Wadleigh, voice and the organ.
Mr. and Mrs. Wadleigh will arrive
on the train this evening from An

Manager Brownell of the theatre
announces that all persons who saw
the show Wednesday or Thursday
may come again this evening free
of charge so that they may have
an opportunity to enjoy this special
music. Everyone is advised to be
early.
ELIMINATION OF FATAL
RAILROAD CROSSINGS
SOLVE UNEMPLOYMENT
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18. MP)
—A program calling for the elimi
nation of railroad crossings where
accidents have occured is a sugges
tion advanced by two newspaper
men here, as a method to help
solve the unemployment problem.
The newspaper men, Jerome N.
Wilson and J. N- Lake, point out
that “two birds will be killed with
one stone”, in that hazards to hu
man life will be eliminated and
also that it will give work to many
thousands of people.
It is their suggestion that Cham
ber of Commerce bodies, civic or
ganizations, railroad brotherhoods
and other organizations, get be
hind the movement.
If this program is adopted it
would serve as an outlet for local
lumber concrete, labor, etc., in the
area where the crossings are elimi
nated.

POWER LINE ANCHORAGE
HELD IT FAULT, NOISE
While radio fans of Anchorage
will regret to learn that the occa
sional noise which drowns out all
of the entertainment from their re
ceiving sets cannot be easily elim
inated, it will be a source of some
comfort to them to know that the
noise at least has been definitely
located, and that the city is doing
what it can to improve radio recep- J
tion generally.
In order to check up on this prin
cipal source of annoyance, the An
chorage council called in William
J. Wagner, radio expert, attached
to the government station, and
! through his efforts the trouble was
definitely located, reports the An
chorage Times.
Quite a thorough analysis was
made towards locating the major
sources of interference. It was de
cided that the terrific roar or buzz
that was on intermittently for days
at a time was the most offensive.
This was definitely traced to the
33,000 volt transmission line be
| tween the Anchorage substation
land the powerhouse.

the flight was a hoax. Miss Bree

impossible”
Breeson said, “To say that the
landing near the desolate Siberian

for a hoax is a horrible injustice, j
I have been hearing these reports, J

come out and stand back of the i
report. They are just groundless!

Earl F. Hammond, of Aurora, Ne
braska, an Alaskan at heart, who
for nine years lived in Alaska and
for two years was with the Wilkins I
Arctic exploration expedition, writes 1
to Mel Horner of Seward and says
that he is still alive.
Mr. Hammond writes that he met:
an Alaskan recently which made
him homesick for the Juneau flats,
Jimmy Newman’s fox ranch on Ke
nai Lake, Kenai Lake, Andy Simons,;
Nellie Neal and other Alaska per- '
sons he never will forget.
Mr. Hammond is at present giv
ing a series of lectures and although
the times are hard, he has good
houses and has no complaints to
offer. He says that he would like
to put Alaska before the public in
his lectures and is open for any
suggestions on this subject which
Alaskans have.
Mr. Hammond wants to be re-;
membered to his Alaskan friends i
as an “Alaskan at heart.”
