ALASKA ROAD COMMISSION ON THE JOB
The arrival of Alaska Road Commission engineers in
Seward for the purpose of making preliminary surveys
of the proposed Lowell Creek project augers well for the
near, and ultimate construction, of this much needed im
provement. Superintendent Edmunds, in charge of work
for the department in this area of Alaska, is here person
ally to supervise the cross-sectioning of the now placid
stream but which at times, is a raging torrent and as
such is a menace to the town of Seward. During the
construction of this proposed project a small army of
men will probably be employed and following its comple'
tion a new era, especially in home building, will ensue.
As always, the Alaska Road Commission, is on the
job.
As a special favor to Lindbergh the House Repre
sentatives recessded for a few minutes the other day.
As a special favor to the rest of the country it ought to
have recessed considerably longer.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover will have a much
greater chance of getting the people together than if he
were Secretary of a Chamber of Commerce.
The way the political factions are lining up in Wash
ington sounds more like going to war than taking care
of the Nation’s business.
A “golf widow” isn’t to be pitied half so much as a
husband whose wife is out playing politics.

A lot of fellows who think they’ll get to heaven
start harping on it all too soon.
Men’s successes are measured by their sense of dis
crimination when opportunities come.
Petty politics are like cobwebs they make a clean
place dirty.

AN EXTRA FINE PRIZE RING STORY
What the “Covered Wagon’’ was to the early
West-bound pioneer-What “The Iron Horse”
was to early railroad construction, the picture
“Blarney” is to the art of prize-fighting.
A wonderful picture of old-time sporting events
when John L. Sullivan was champion of the
world. A very interesting and thrilling love
story runs thru the picture, but the main inter
est is the correct historical representation of
old time sports. Nothing like it has been shown
before. From the famous Saturday Evening
Post story of a short time ago.
And there will be a two reel comedy starring
Charlie Bowers in
“GONE AGAIN
Also a beautiful Pathe Review.
