THE GRAND'S BIG SHOW

The elite of Juneau turned out en masse to attend the benefit concert at the Grand theatre Saturday evening, Sept. 30, held under the auspices of the Episcopalian church. The cozy lit tie theatre was filled to it's capacity and under Manager Jackson's guiding hand everything went off smoothly. The different numbers were very finely rendered and the pictures were the pick of the good ones that MT. Jackson is showing every evening at his theatre
 Perhaps the best of the vocal numb CTS was a solo by Mrs. Crowther, the "Alask an Tetrazini' as she was styl ed by one of the audience Mrs. Crow ther sang "Down the Vale'' by Moir in a very able and finished manner. She was in excellent voice and her stage presence had nothing suggesting the amateur Mrs. Crowther respond ed to an encore with "One Spring Morn' by Nevin.

These two youngsters did very well.
 Mrs. Fremming presided at the piano in her usual efficient manner, and Man ager Jackson is to be congratulated in securing her services, which are of the best.
 During the evening, Rev. Renison, in few well chosen words, thanked the audience for their patronage, and also the performers and the manage ment for their kindness in contribut- ing their services towards making the affair a success

AGRICULTURAL POSSIBILITIES

Of the possibilities ot agricultural we'll as the more southern portions, there is no one more sanguine than Professor c. c. Georgeson, in charge of the government agricultural exper iment stations in the territory, who left Fairbanks few days ago. Among other things of highly optimistic na- ture in regard to the possibilities of grain-raising he has to say:
 ''I believe Alaska can be made prosperous and populous country, country of farmers and fishermen. Why not? Take Finland, for instance. The southern boundary lies on the Goth parallel and the northern boundary lies in the 10th parallel. You see it is farther north than Alaska, for all of Southeastern Alaska lies south of the Goth parallel There are 148,000 square miles of land in Finland, and only one third of this is available for agricul- ture, yet Finland supports 3,0OO,O00 and exports many agricultural pro ducts besides.
 'If it is possible in Finland, north of the 60th parallel, it can also be done in Alaska. For remember that Finland has not the great natural re- sources of Alaska, our gold, our coal, copper and stone, and our 26,000 miles of coast line, every mile of which is good fishing ground.
 "Alaska has an area of about 590,- 900 square miles, and I estimate that 100000 square miles of this is availa ble for agriculture and grazing True, it is new country, but in years to come it can be made to support as many people to the square mile as Fin land does.
 "The great problem is to get peo- pie to come to Alaska to farm. So far no effort has been made to do this and the government has acted in very short sighted manner to allow the lands of Alaska to lie idle In fact, settlers have been discouraged, for about IS years ago, when colony of Icelanders wanted to settle on Kodiak Island, the government discouraged the scheme. It would pay the government to send agents to Finland md Iceland to in duce the people to come to Alaska. They are quiet and sober and industri- ous. They are splendid farmers and would be facing familiar conditions I believe that with the proper effort many would be willing to come here and settle. Perhaps this will be done some day-Alaska Citizen.

LONDON, July 27.--The uncon-
cealed bitterness of Germany over
Premier Asquiths statement on the
Moroccan situation in the commons
today and the very guardedness of
that statement, have convinced politi-
cal critics this evening that the situ'
alton is of the gravest character. The
unconcealed activity at the arsenas
and ship yards Of Britain the can
collation. of Second divisions Nor
wegian cruise and the haste evident
to get the English troops and volun-
ters into the field, they believe,
point to but one conclusion--war.
Throughout London and all Eng
land this evening the public excite
ment is intense. On every corner
and in every city, before bulletin
boards eager crowds are waiting for
news, and few believe that war will
come.
Great satisfaction is expressed by
those diplomats who will discuss the
crisis In the fact that England will
have powerful allies II 1t is necessary

Iopinlon Is general that Asquith acted
well and boldly when in the commons
today, he firmly, stated that Grea
Britain could see no alternative t
standing fast for what is deemed es
sential to the power and supremac!
OF the nation.
Bitter indignation prevails her,
this evening as the result of the state
ment by Premier Asquith and Oppo
sition Leader Balfour in the Brltlsl
house Of commons today. German OF
flc4als declare that the only interpre

statements is that England has def

DIR KIMBLEY AUTOS
TO CRATER LAKE

DR.. H. G. Kimbley and sister, Miss
Lolita Kimbley returned Tuesday ev-
ening from trip to Crater lake. The
doctor and Miss Kimbley left Grants
Pass at 4:30 Saturday morning In
their automobile and reached their
destination at p. m. the same day.
A stop of half an hour was made for
lunch at noon, making just IL hours
for the trip. They found the road,
on the whole. In bad shape, only
short stretches being fair for travel.
When nearing the lake the deep
lava dust was very disagreeable, In
some places being fully two and half
feet deep coming up over the wheels
Of the auto, and causing the bed OF
the machine to drag through the thick
dust.
When within an eighth of mile OF
the crater, the doctor ran into snow
drift which stopped the machine
which was abandoned, and the re
mainder of the ascent made on foot
Assistance was secured next morning
and the machine was extricated from
the snow and the run was made L
the rim of the crater. The doctorl
automobile was the fourth to arriv'
at the lake this season.
The trail from the rim of the era
ter leading down to the waters of tn
lake is one mile long and the dee
blue waters of this most wonderful
lake lie clear and placid 1000 feet be
low the level of the crater.
In going down to the edge Of tn
water the doctor and his sister cross
ed two snow drifts where they had t
dig footholds in the snow for eac
step. The path Is winding and ted
ious and great boulders at the sid
loosen easily so that the descent
far from safe, especially when sever
al parties are going down. Several {
these large boulders were loosene
from the sides OF the path by the pre-
gress of the doctor, and later the
found three gentlemen hidden benin
big boulder near the path to avoI
the huge stones from above. Half a
hour is required to make the desceI
and from one and half to two hour
time Is required for the ascent
Only tent accommodations are a
forded at Crater lake at the presel
: time, but later a hotel Is to be erec
ed.
