JUNEAU YOUNG MEN MAY
 ATTEND FAIRBANKS COLLEGE

Three, and probably more, young Juneau boys will attend the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines at Fairbanks, starting with the opening of the fall term next September if present plans are car ried out. Those who have an- nounced their intention of doing so are Everett Nowell, Jimmie Con nors and Harvey Barragar and one or two others are seriously con sidering accompanying them.
 Chester Tripp, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Tripp of this place. was the first Juneau student to matric- ulate in the Fairbanks institution where he majored in metalurgy and with remarkable success. Miss Miriam Mcbride, daughter of Col lector of Customs and Mrs. J. c. Mcbride, started the midWinter semester at Fairbanks and writes enthusiastically of the efficiency of the college. It is possible that by fall a large delegation of Jul neau youngsters will decide to ac quire educations at the Alaska Col lege in preference to going to out side institutions.-Str Week lV

RADIO LISTENERS"
 NEW WRANGELL CLUE

A number of radio owners of Wrangell met Tuesday evening for the purpose of forming a local or ganization of radio listeners. John W. Stedman was chosen for chair man and Claude Blackington sec retary
 One of the first undertakings of the new organization will be an in- vestigation to ascertain the cause of interference with the reception in Wrangell. At times it is possi- ble to get wonderful reception here. Stations in Japan and Aus tralia are often heard with surpris ing clearness. Then again there seems to be some local interference that takes all the joy out of radio,
 During the past ten days several stations of the Pacific coast have been broadcasting some programs of unusual merit which have been spoiled for Wrangell owners of ra- dio sets on account of some inter- ference. It is believed that if the cause of the interference can be aseertained there will be no lack of local cooperation in removing the cause, thereby enabling the numer- ous owners of radio sets to enjoy reception that is free from the eX- asperations of interference at the wrong time.

TWO BIG INDUSTRIES JOINED IN PRODUCING
 STEEL PREFERRED

For the first time in the history of the motion pictures and the steel industries, these two leaders in their respective fields have been fused in a production sponsored by Metropolitan Pictures Corporation and titled Steel Preferred. Un- like any other motion picture ever made is Steel Preferred, for il brings to the screen in thrilling form the true romance of one of the most powerful industries in the world.
 The cast which was assembled for the production is individually and collectively the best obtainable. Vera Reynolds, William Boyd, Ho- bart Bosworth and Charlie Murray have the featured roles, while in their support are Walter Long, Mi gel Barrie, Helene Sullivan, Vii liam V. Mong, and Ben Turpin, the celebrated screen comedian.
 The production has received the stamp of approval from the Ma tional Tube Company as being ab- solutely correct in every detail as regards the scenes taken in their mills. It will be shown at the Wrangell Theatre Wednesday and Thursday nights, April Is and II, at popular prices, 25c and 1Oc.
 Were the workers at the steel plant to be included in the east IL would number more than five thou- sand. and were the sets to nave been built, it would have taken three years and cost perhaps twelve million dollars.

 ADDRESS AT C0RDOVA
QCortloFa a#T1nes)


 Major w. J. Carruthers last night traced the phenomenal growth of the Salvation Army movement from it's simple beginning in England @ years ago to it's present worldwide scope before a large group of inter ested listeners who attended the lecture at the local Salvation Army hall.
 The Army's activities have spread to 81 countries, the lecturer pointed out, with 24.00O eenters and 22.217 enlisted officers engag- ed in the missionary work
 0ne-tenth of the worldwide op- erations is centered in the United States, the major declared. The Army has 1,598 corps, or churches. where the religious work is carried on in this country. Last year S4,- sos conversions were registered.
 In addition to religious eentars, TOO social service centers, inelud- ing hospitals, children's home, res cue homes, slum pests, etc, are in operation.
 The Army work was introduced into the territory by Commander Evangeline Booth herself at skag- way during the gold rush days of '98, according to the lecturer. Since then Is centers have been estab- lished in Alaska. Much interest was displayed by the audience in slides showing the work in the territory, and applause greeted the pictures of Captain Chalk and Lieutenant Stahl when the latter were thrown on the screen.
 The Major today expressed him self highly pleased with the prog ress the work has made in Gordoya since the establishment of the northernmost post of the Salvation Army.
