Interesting Picture
Exhibit at Huntocn Store

HalloWeli people cannot fail TO be
greatly interested in an exhibition
of five Alaskan pictures that are to
be shown for a few days in the win
dow at Mr.. Hiram Huntoon's store
before starting on their long Jour
ney to Northern Alaska. These pic
lures are of the copper mining re-
gion of Alaska, n section in whcih
some Haliowell people have a per-
sonal interest because of stock cwn-
ed in these mines. The pictures are
photographs taken by an Alaskan
photographer. Hubrick. with a Won
derful panoramic camera. They have
been delicately tinted in natural
colors, so that the cloud effects and
snow-capped mountains give a won
derful effect One photograph
"Nicholi Hill'' has particularly beau
tiful cloud effects. Another, THE
Goat Tran from ChiIstone" is a
mountain scene of grandeur. An
other photograph is of the copper
town perched precariously on the
edge OF a mountain. 1T shows the
road that brings the orc down to
the smelter But the most beautiful
is called THE Seven Sisters" 1t
shows s. .en mountain peaks of the
Wrangcl range, snow capped and
with the still water at their feet. the
last of the pictures is smaller oil
painting that gives the effect rather
of water color. These pictures
were sent to Mr.. Huldoon to be
framed and then started back on the
long trip to the Alaskan copper dis
trict. 1t is rather compliment TO
Hallowell that his work should have
been so well liked that such an or
der should have come from SO far
away. The pictures will be on exhi-
bition for some days and will be
worth taking the trouble to see.
