LOCAL ARTIST YIELDS
 BRUSH IN TRUE COLOR

Some very excellent paintings, emu lating the landscape variety are be- ing oiled in beautiful colors by c. E. Johansson, of Seward. who is making his home at the Skagway House where he maintains his studio in connection.
 Mir. Johansson is an oldtimer of the territory having come to Alaska during the rush days" settling in Skagway and later following the elu- sive paystreak into the city of Daw- son. Ever since arriving in the north MT. Johansson has studied Ma tures handiwork, knows the color of every tree and bush, whether dead or in it's green, and with this opague vision the hues blended onto his canvass seem truly realistic.
 In an interview with MT. Johans- son the other day the reporter was shown some very splendid work, some reproductions of photos and some original. Some of his paint ings are displayed in his studio in the Skagway House, and in the very near future the entire collection will be on display at the Hotel Seward, where many of his paintings are now adorning the walls of the spacious reception room of that popular hos telry.
 While pictures are pictures and nothing more to the average person, those done up in oil by MT. Johans- son appear to carry a true interpre- tation of life. J.His imagery vision on the Alaska dog team, with their obstinateness is portrayed distinct ly The expression carried by this team of malamutes on canvass is claimed by the artist to be one of his best productions
 Some years ago, not many, while MT. Johansson was making his home in Fairbanks, doing odd jobs with his brush and easel in hand, won- derful picture was brought to light. The picture consists of a beautiful landscape, and cabin with tiny yellow light blinking laziIy from the window in the foreground, and the mountains, snow-capped in the back ground, enhanced by the rays of an ever-shifting Aurora Borealis. The picture in question, an original of MT. Johansson's works was purchas- ed by wealthy Californian who was a lover of art, and taken to the States. The purchase price was $50. It was later learned that when the picture was displayed in the home of the purchaser he was offered sev- eral times $150O. All of the paint lngs of Mr Johansson's sell at the above figure. A reproduction in pho-
Seward daily gateway., 1925-04-30

tograrhy of the above mentioned pie ture with it's magnificent northern lights was printed on the cover oi the March issue of the Fairbanks Collegion, which was printed in one color by The Gateway
 MT. Oscar Dahl, proprietor of the Hotel Seward has purchased three of the artsit's works and has them hang. ing in his parlor. Two of the paint ings are scenes depicting Alaska's s vastnesses and another of life. One of them was made in CordoVa, and carries lake in the foreground with moose grazing leiZurely near the foothills of the mountains in the background This picture is of ex ceptional value and is cherished by MT. Dahl. The frames for the paint ings hanging in the Seward hotel were made to order from Cal M. Bro sius, local contractor.
 At later date an announcement will be given The Gateway when the paintings of MT. Johansson's will be on display for the general public.

COPY OF OLDPAPER RECEIVED BY
 GATEWAY

Through the courtesy of c. M Bros jus, the Gateway has received copy of the Seward Tribune, published in May, 1914, by T. R. Needhom, editor and manager, and Needham, Brosius, & Noon, owners. The paper was hand set, four columns wide, with four pages and contains much news of in terest. The regular Democratic or ganization, with John Frame, chair man, had just held a meeting in Val deg, and was supporting Judge Wick ersham for delegate, the Judge hav- ing declared himself democrat and agreeing to support Woodrow Wilson for president The paper is full of political news of interest to the Ter ritory, Wickersham bucking the Shackelford interests.
 John Noon was interested in the present lumber plant, and was also manager of the Fairbanks Rooming house. Pete Anderson was painting and paperhanging, and the Humbolt line was preparing to enter the local field The Alaska Transfer was erect ing a new barn; Judge Brown had ruled that Seward saloon men must appear in person for their license and tell the story of their lives before be- ing permitted to practice behind the bar, and Michael Murphy paid s5 for shooting off his gun within the city limits. Harry Hoben and Herb Toz- fer had gone to Portage Bay to look over the proposed railroad site, and an excursion trip ran to the west ward.
 A preliminary survey was being made for the Alaska Railroad, the Dirigo being in port with load of supplies for the engineers.

appeared from the home here Of her
mother, Mrs. Susan Bomberry, and of

husband, Levi Bomberry, from attempt
ing to interfere with William Simms of

tody of the ward

belief that Mrs. Bomberry was familiar
with the details of the kidnapping"

COTTON IS TWIN
OF ILLITERACY,
TEACHER SAYS
Richest Crop of South
Followed by Poverty,
Investigation Pro yes
to East Texas Man

In few days, probably within the
present week, the first bale Of cotton
to be produced in the world will start
rolling out of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley, which will be in the neighbor-
hood of the record for the earliest bale,
shipped out on May 26, 1919.
This information was given yesterday
by County Agent Louis H. Alsmeyer, who
has just made a trip over the Valley
looking at the conditions of cotton.
There are several fields in widely
scattered parts Of the Valley that are
showing the first opened bolls, and
where the white lint should be- ready
for picking in few days. Competition
for the first bale is unusually keen, az
this bale brings high premium on the
cotton exchange floor at Houston, where
1T is shipped every year.
Cotton in general over the Valley is
in good condition, Mr.. Alsmeyer said,
the bad cotton being only in spotted
areas. At present the boil weevil in
festation is heavy in spots, and the
present weather indicates that there
will be a good crop Of cotton in the
Valley if the weevil pest is controlled.
Each farmer must decide for him.
self whether poisoning is necessary
the county agent said. In some sec
tions of the Valley the infestation is
almost negligible, while in other parts
Of the Valley there is heavy crop
of weevils'
Many farmers are helping keep their
fields clean by placing brush on the
cultivators, which drags over the small
cotton plants, and helps to knock off
the weeyils and infected squares. A
large number are poisoning by the
busting method, the county agent said.
Big growers report this method is very
successful this year due to the weather
conditions, and that it is also possible
to get it done reasonably, with the
poison selling at a cheap price-in fact,
some farmers are poising at a cost of
not more than 81 per acre, including the
labor and material.
The race for the first bale grows more
tense the time draws nearer when
it will start moving. The county agent
places the next ten days as the limit
in which the first bale will start, and
said that it may be in only few days
After the first bale moves the Valley
will settle down to cultivating, picking
and marketing what is believed to be
one Of the largest cotton crops in its
history.

Brownsville for the purpose of inspect-
ing the present station. buildings and
towers with view Of determining what
alterations would be necessary. From
$4,000 to $4,000 will be spent in pre-
pairing the buildings and towers for the
new equipment, he said
The new station is to be equipped with
two tube sets. one one-half kilowatt
capacity and the other of 20 kilowatt
capacity, both of the latest models. The
sets are being built in Schnectady. New
York at present. under government con-
tract A government inspector has been
detailed to see the equipment built and
he viii remain with it until it is in
stalled and working here.
When the superset is installed the
radio personnel will be increased from
the present five men to 16 men and an
officer of higher rank will be placed in
charge, the Inspector said.
''There is dead spot about 900 miles
in area off the coast of Mexico and
Lower California over which it is very
hard to send radio signals and it has
been found that the station here works
better in that zone than any other sta
tion,' Lieutenant Commander Fem ex-
planned. "That is one of the reasons
for the large station being located in
Brownsville. Another reason is that the
station will be used to relay important
government business between Washing
ton and Panama and with other points
out of reach of the Washington sta
tiOn."
The small set will be used for work
in the nearby. radius and the larger one
will be used for distant work.
The apparatus being built for this sta,
tion is TO be inclosed in copper cases to
prevent all possible interference from
the local station, it was explained, and
as soon as the tube sets are working all
interference from that station with the
Brownsville station will be ended. The
Fort Brown station will broadcast on a
much higher wave length than the local
station and thus all interference with
the programs will be avoided. "The
spark set now in use is not only nui-
sance to local radio fans but it il OBJ
soltete for commercial use." member
of the staff at the fort said.
1t will be possible to broadcast the
voice or regular musical programs over
the sets but it hardly ever will be used
for that purpose, it is believed.
o. L. Holdekoski, radio chief Of the
station now in use here, assisted in the
official inspection.

DAYTON READY
FOR EVOLUTION
TRIAL MONDAY
Test Case on Tennessee
Law Against Teacher
in Pulic Schools to Go
to Grand Jury
by The Associated Press.l

DAYTON, Tenn, May 23.-Dayton to-
night was busting, off its best bib and
tucker in preparation for the first phase
of the court test of the constitutionality
of the recently enacted Tennessee law
against the teaching of evolution in
public schools. Presentment of an in
dictment to the Rhea county grand jury,
at a special session Monday, will start
the proceedings expected eventually to
decire whether evolution is a theory,
science or both in Tennessee and
whether it can form part of school
courses, against which a law has been
passed on the statutes.
John 7. Scopes, scientist teacher in
the Rhea county high school. is the CEN
, trail figure in the test. Formally charg-
ed with violation of the law, three
justices of the peace, sitting at a hear
ing decided he was technically if NOT
Intentionally guilty" and held him to
the grand jury. Though bonds were
fixed at $1,000, he was not required to
post securities.
The Scopes case had it's inception at
drug store gathering when Mr.. Scopes
was pIcSeHI. DISCuSSlOH tuIHcQ W
evolution and Scopes remarked he was
teaching it in the biology course of his
science department.
DR.. George W. Rappleyea, chemical
engineer, manager of an iron and coal
company in Dayton, thereupon suggest
ed that Scopes submit to arrest so that
a test case might be made of the new
law.
Scopes acquiescing, DR.. Appleyea went
before justice of the peace and swore
to a warrant for the school teachers
arrest He was charged with teaching
evolution in a biology review April q
when the law became effective.
When news of the test became known
the postoffice and telegraph office at
Dayton showed greatly increased busi-
ness Letters and kilograms came from
all parts of the United States for Mr..
Scopes and DR.. Rappleyea. Some of the
communications to the school teacher
cheered him in his stand, while others
were frankly critical.
First news of the arrest Of Mr.. Scopes
gave DR.. Appleyea as the prosecuting
witness, but did not bring out that he
was friendly to the theory of evolution
so he has found himself in the peculiar
position Of being applauded by friends
Of the law he is trying to have declared
unconstitutional.
