YUKON IS PROGRESSIVE

Radical changes or reforms, no matter how great the improvement. do not come without working an in convenience, if not a hardship to some of the people. Very rarely is anything accomplished to the entire satisfaction of all parties concerned. The greatest good to the greatest number is not always the measure by which praise and blame are meted out. Very often the dissatisfied few send up a vail out of all propor- tiOn to even their numerical strength.
 Within the past few years His Ma jesty's mails have been carried in Yu- kon by dogs at the rate of from to 10 miles an hour, and by plane at an average speed of 100 miles an hour. Mail has been taken by plane from Whitehorse to Dawson in hours and 25 minutes that ordinarily takes 10 days by the overland stage.
 In a new country like this, with inadequate landing accommodations, and under such trying weather con- ditions. the mail service given by plane during the past few weeks has been nothing short of remarkable. Air transportation is the coming thing and wise are the people who fall in line with this progressive ten dency. Upon the possibility and fea- sibility of air transportation depends largely the future development of Yukon.-Whitehors Star.

OLD RUSSIAN BLOCKH0USE
 TO BE MOVED TO AKIAK

Permission to remove the old Rus sian blockhouse from Kolmakofski to Akiak, in order that it may be re- stored to good condition and pre- served, has been asked from Governor George A. Parks by the Eskimo in- habitants of Akiak. The Governor said the request would be approved with the understanding that it did not involve any expense to the Terri tory, which has no funds for such work. The task will be no small un- dertaking. It will require disman- ting and removal of the material from it's present site to Akiak, a dis tance of 12O miles, and reconstruc- tion in it's original form.
 The Russian settlement of Kolma- kofski was founded in 1892 on the north bank of the Kuskokwim River. about 200 miles from it's mouth. a stockade being built by a trader named Simonson Lukeen, and was originally known as Lukeen's stock 
 ade. In the same year, Alexander Kolmakofski. Russian creole, built the stockade which still stands. It is in poor condition and, according to reports from the principal of the Ak iak school maintained by the U. S. Bureau of Education, will decay com pletely in a few years more.
 There are two other we'll known forts that remain in Alaska today as prominent landmarks of the Russian occupation. The original stockade at St. Michael still stands in good condition. The one at Sitka was torn down a number of years ago, but a reproduction has been built and stands on point at the mouth of Indian River, in the Sitka Park.

Flynn, controller of the Mich awak oil properties near Katalla in the Cold Bay region, reported to the Cordova Times that all arrangements have been completed for the begin ming of development work in the early spring and that the first well will be drilled In April. He has every confidence in his ground and felt certain he would strike oil in paying quantities. He does not expect a gusher but would feel amply repaid if the wells brought in from ten to fifteen barrels of oil per day.

This sound track" can be, and sometimes is. projected onto the screen along with the picture, for it is a photographic record as dis tinct ill its way as anything else in the picture. In ordinary thea ter showings, however, it is block ed out in projection.
 As Movietone film runs through the projection machine in thea ter the sound track on the edge of the film passes in front of small light focused on a photo electric cell The alternate light and dark lines in the sound-track cause fluctuations in the light that ac- tually- reaches the cell. and these fluctuations in light reaching the cell cause electrical fluctuations corresponding to the original sound variations. These are am plifled and conducted to the loud . speaker behind the screen. which revsrses the process of the origi- nal microphone and translates them back into actual sound.

 The Paris Opera itself is a bit more difficult 10 attain. One needs an extra thousand and must an- sWer more questions.
 Money is the musical stepping s,one which enables unknown sing CTS from foreign lands to trip the boards here. Three thousand dol lars in francs is a sum which talks loud enough to be heard by any manager
 These practical matters are now generally understood. and Paris is thus regarded as the first stop on the road to musical fame. The first step is to find an influential friend to cover the initial ex- pense. Such friends can be locat- ed through intermediates whose charge is S1oo to $500.

OLD WOMAN HELD IN MURDER PLOT Rumanian Accused of Selling
 Slow Acting Poisons

Nladimlrovac, Jugoslavia, July r (PA-The arrest here of Anujka de Foshtonja, a 9o-year-o old Rumania woman who is charged with selling slow-acting poisonous mixtures dur ing the last 50 years to married peasant women who wished to rid themselves of their husbands. has revealed a story of witchcraft and murder which recalls the dark days of the middle ages.
 Anulka. who stoutly denies the charges. has been renounced and feared for half a century as witch" by the superstitlous peas ants in this district. She will soon be brought to trial with a number of other peasants alleged to be in volved in the crimes.
 The police charge that about 20 wealthy husbands have been mys- teriously done away with in this district The investigation now in progress is declared by authorities to involve many prominent persons, in this and nearby towns.
 One of the most recent cases to attract attention was that of Gaia Marinkov, rich and healthy peasant proprietor of Ilanci, who was sud- denly taken i'll and died within a few days Relatives who lived with him, and who benefited by his will were accused by the police of poi soning him. but no trace of poison could be found.
 Fearing foul play and suspecting old Anujka, Gaia Marinkov's eldest son told the police that he went to Anulka's house and inquired dis creetly whether she could supply q poison to kill off an old relative of his. Anujka. he said, asked how old he was and many similar ques- tions. and finally said that for a price she could supply something. The young man then pretended 10 doubt it's efficiency to kill healthy man and the old woman is declared 10 have replied:
 If it was good enough to kill Gaia Marinkov it will do for any, one"

TALKING MOVIES
 0F TWO VARIETIES
Record Sound Waves on Disc or
 on Edge of Film

Hollywood. Cal. July 17 P-HoW are talking movies made
 The question is being asked by many film fans. but even more eagerly is an answer sought by players, directors and producers.
 For the players who have work ed in sound pictures are few; the directors who have made sound- pictures can be counted on the fingers Of one hand. and the pro ducers who actually have sound- pictures playing in theaters at the present moment are two-FoN and Warner Brothers.
 Though trade names like Vita phone. Movietone, Photophone and Firnatone continue 10 multiply, all sound- pictures now on the market can be classified roughly in two groups:
 1. Those in which the sound is recorded on disks similar to pho nosraph records.
 9, Those in which the sound is recorded on film. which may be either the identical film that car res the picture or a secondary film geared to the same shaft.
 In both disk and film methods, powerful amphfiers similar in prin- ciple to those used in modern ra- dio sets play vital part. And in either system the ear which hears" the actor while the cam era lens Sees" him is a micro- phone or set of microphones, sim liar to those used in radio broad casting.
 The miCrophone. of course, trans lateS what 1t hears into electri- cal impulses, just as a telephone transmitter translates words into electrical impulses, In the Vita phone and other disk systems these cordins device similar to those used in making modern electrical ly-reco.deJ phonograph disks. The speed of the camera governs the speed at which the recording disk revolves. so that words and action
 
 record IS played in a theater at a speed governed by the speed of the film the words coming from a loud speaker back of the screen seem to flow from the lips of the film image.
 In the Movletone system, which involves recording sound on the edge of the film as t runs through the camera. the electrical inn pulses from the microphone trav- ei to the camera and there govern the fluctuations of helium light which is focused on the film When the film is developed the sound record appears as series of alternate light and dark lines of varied spacing and density or the left-hand margin of the film
