CONGRESSMAN RBGsDALE OF
 SOUTH CAROLINA IS HERE

tihued, When Dick was back in Washington he asked me to come out and see Alaska and told me I would change my views about it's impoftance-that l couldn't realize it's greatness and Yastness and pos sibiIit.es without coming. Well, I have come and have learned, and l have changed my mind on some points and the changes have been all in Alaska's favor. I just came with my wife and children on a rollicking, jolly, go-as-you please pleasure trip and didn't intend to change my former views or even to give serious thought to anything along the way, but I have been over-awed by the beauties and grandeur of the trip from seattle north. I could not help being i'm pressed, and realizing that have yet seen almost nothing of Alaska, 1 now recognize the need of deVel- opment and the wisdom of the gov ernment encouraging it."'
 When asked if he would take the trip to the westward and meet Col. Richardson, he said that he could not do so for lack of time-that history is being written so fast these days he felt it his duty to get back to the capital where he would be in close touch with the governemnt's problems.
 He will return via San Francis co but will make a very brief stop there.

Anna Pavlowa

It is surely a wonderful performance
 that can keep an audience fairly en-
 tranced for two hours without a word
 being spoken, yet such was the case last
 night at the Jefferson theatre when an
 audience that filled every seat in the
 theatre paid tribute to the art of the in
 comparable Pavlowa by their rapt at
 tention during the rendition of the -ntire
 programme and their generous applause
 at the conclusion of each number.
 One does not have to be a connosieur
 of the dance to appreciate and thoroughly
 enjoy the wonderful interpretation Of the
 art as portrayed by Mile. Anna Pavlowa, for it's beauty and grace compel adinira-
 tion To those of artistic tastes and tenn perament the performance brings the keenest delight.
 Words are entirely inadequate to des- cribe the chastness and charm of the dance numbers given by this distinguished Russian premier danseuse or her eXcep- tonal skill and technique. It cannot be imagined, it must be seen to be appre- ciated
 It might be said that this applies
 to the entire Pavlowa organization. for she has secured in M AleXaddre Volinine and M. Ivan C1ustine two
