ANCHORAGE ENTHUSIASTIC
 OVER RADIO SERVICE

J. P. Hannon the Seward radio ex- pert, returned from Anchorage We'd nesday, after successfully negotiating with residents of that city for a radio phone broadcasting station. The sta tion is to be owned and operated by the Anchorage Times, which plans to operate it in conjunction with the Sc ard and Cordova stations. It is plan ned to operate Anchorage station one night, Seward one night and Cordova one night alternately, this giving own CTS of receiving sets the news from all three stations, as planned originally.
 The Times is also installing one of the most elaborate and powerful re- ceiving sets made, with loud speaker for use in base ball news and concerts from the states. MT. Hannon reports that the residents of Anchorage were very enthusiastic over the proposition a number of citizens asking for the opportunity of furnishing funds, but the Times was given the plant. An chorage will give concerts by local talent, including musical numbers from the big pipe organ in the En- press theatre. This will be augument- ed by vocal selections and programs by the women's clubs of the city.
 This triple program will work to the advantage of those having receiving sets as one night they can listen in to all the news from Seward, another night events from Anchorage will be thrown into the ether, while another night will broadcast Cordova news. Any instrument having range of 300 miles vii catch all three stations. es- pecially those instruments to the west. ward of Seward.
 The Seward outfit is expected to arrive on the next boat from the states. MT. Hannon will erect it inn mediately and test it out, whereupon receiving sets will be placed on sale, and if desired erected for purchasers.

 Mr. McDannel furnishes anything from a sandwich to cup of coffee. to an elaborate course dinner. we'll cooked and at a price equal to those in the better class restaurants in towns. It makes tor the comfort and convenience of the passengers, who thus avoid packing troublesome lunch es. A large volume of trade is looked for this season.

RUSSIA FIGHTS RUM
WAR ON LIQUOR RUNNERS AND
 "HooTcH" MAKERS DECLARED

MOSCOW, March 1O-The Russian government has declared war on boot leggers and manufacturers of illicit hootch," and the campaign is dua',cat- inf, many of the scenes of the sl-la tion in New York and other Am",lcan cities.
 The sales of wines and beers IS legal in Russia but the Soviet regime has continued the war policy established early in 1915 of banning vodka and other stronger intoxicants. These are now being made in huge quantities it. licitly and nearly everyone of Mos cows newly rich has his private SUD- ply.
 During the last three months of the past year, according to statistics fur nished the correspondent by the Mos COW authorities, the police made 5,0S7 house searches and discovered nearly 5000 private stills. Evidence obtain ed even indicated that there were ryodka trusts or combinations of cap ital to produce the liquor in large quan titles. Restaurants have been search ed and quantities of brandies and high power spirits seized, while in some in stances patrons bringing their own. have been arrested.
 Heavy prison sentences or expulsion from Moscow are the penalties applied to violato.s of the law. A new decree makes the chairman of each house committee responsible for preserva- tion of the anti-vodka law in each apartment building. the theory being that the committees, composed of res idents of each building. must know ii any stills are being operated.
