 All grade work has been completed and nothing remains now but the lay ing of the steel to connect Seward and Anchorage by rail. The washouts caused by the recent high water will soon be repaired so it looks as if trains would be operating between Anchorage and Seward by the middle of September.

A Biblical idyI, with all the beauty
Of q poetic dream. Is "The wanderer,"
which has come to Polls for q weeks
stay. It is the Prodigal Son. with q
setting 5000 years old, brought up to

Lewis in mastery fashion.
Jether. son OF Jesse, dreams a
dream of the splendor OF Jerusalem.
He sees the magnificence and the opu-
lence of the capital. and, yielding
to the temptation OF Tola, his false
friend, he takes his potrion and goes,
, leaving behind an irate father, a
broken-hearted mother and a sadden-
ed sweetheart
At Jerusalem Jether comes to the
house of Nadina. There he falls an
easy victim to the seduction OF Tisha,
who is for sale to the highest bidder.
Little does he, the simple shepherd
from the hills OF Hebron, understand
the hollow mockery of 1t all. Not till
his shekels have gone, his false
friends have turned their faces, and
he Is Knocked by Tola for denying the
God of Israel, does Jether realize the
utter depths of his disgrace. Robbed

will back to the home OF his father.
The Prodigal Son. scorned by his
brother Gaal, finds final absolution
at the hands OF his parents, with ab-
solute forgiveness for his misdeeds.
The simple and severe setting of the
first and last acts, the home n Jesse
in the hills, contrast with and increase
the voluptuousness OF the second act.
The innocent sheep wandering along
ahead OF Jether aid in magnifying the
change in his affairs when set off
