Will This Section Have
 Summer Air. Mail Service

Will Tokotna, McGfath, .Ophir and this Interior section be given an air 2. plane mail service during: ,tne coming season?
 The answer to this. question all seems to hinge upon whether owners d. of airplanes make bids flor service satisfactory to the Postoffice Depart ment.
 Delegate : Sutherland for many months, endeavored to get the Post .. office Department to ask bids for an air service between many Alaskan points. That'ehis insistence has been rewarded is shown by the fact that the Department states, in asking for bids, under the heading "Star Routes in Alaska" that Service on any of these routes may be performed by , airplane if desired by contractor"
 The advertisement, in part, and the routes affected by this action, read as follows:
 Postoffice Department, Washington, D. C., July 25, 1925 Proposals will $ be received at the office of the Second Assistant Postmaster General, Post office Department, until 4:30 D.. m. s of December 8, 1925, for carrying the mails of the United States on the routes and by the schedules of dea partures and arrivals herein specified in the Territoroy of Alaska, froom July l, 1926;>t6 June 30, 1880.

 "Ehe railroad offers no. prospects, Free said," of profitable ooperation. If the tracks were torn up and highway overvswhich motor trucks could operate in sufficient numbers ito meet satisfactory transporta- tion needs of the Interior could be , constructed at, relatively low cost" he said.
 Free advisedIthee President i, that the new fisheries law is working in satisfactory manner He expressed the opinion, however, that the gov ernment was following a wise policy with regard to roads, reforestation and gold production. New methods F. of valuing timber lands, in his opin- ion, would result in cutting o> >er-ripe timber and would bring about q sen- sible reforestation policy. He sug gested that expenditure of funds for road construction shodlCs ba placed u.der one agency, aboiis! ing the daal system of road control between tie War department and the Good Roads Bureau.

Many Aim for Screen
But Few Get There

Hollywood, Gal, Aug. 2-(AP)-
Varied types are included in the
many thousands of men, women and
youths who come here each year
seeking careers in the motion
pictures. Few ever reach stardom.
Estimates compiled recently re-
vealed that since 1917 more than
10000 persons registered with
screen employment agencies on the
Pacific Coast. Today the list of
those steadily employed numbers
little more than $4,000. Therefore,
some $4,000 failed to find a footing
on the stepping stone to cinema :
land.
Statistics obtained from film labor
bureaus here and in Los Angeles
show that 800 bald headed men,
whose principal bid for screen fame
is their lack of hair. and 100 one
legged men. who believe that they
should be in the pictures because
they have but one limb, are regis
tered. On the files of these agencies
also are listed ten cross-eyed men,
30 athletes. 200 professional and non
professional gamblers, IL midgets.
glass eaters and sword swallowers.
SO great is the desire of persons to
get into the pictures that in an
hours time counterparts of all
famous men of the past, enough
cowboys to stage a rodeo or sailors
sufficient to man a ship can be
brought together. In a days time
5000 persons for a mob scene or
l,2O0 women for a ballroom can be
assembled. They bring their own
costumes.
The wage scale at a majority of
the studios is similar. Extras for
mob scenes. who are taken ir-
respective of age, size, or national
1ty' receive an average of So a day.
Hand picked extras of approximate
~ the same size, similar features and
color OF eyes are paid IS. Character
extras, those who are camera wise"

The big costume parade, which
was to have been the grand conclud-
ing feature of the weeks program,
was not carried out Saturday, but
will be held today. There are sew
eral divisions of the parade, each de-
plotting some phase of the health
work which was presented by spec
ialists during the week, and will un-
doubtedly prove as interesting to
adult observers as to the children.
