ASSA|LED
Los Angeles Council Con-
demns Papers Stand on
Dam Bill
ACTION UNANIMOUS
Bay City Publication Has
Carried on Active Cam
paign Against Measure.
by United Press leased Wire

Los ANGELES, July 2. Tho
San Francisco Bulletin has proved
unfaithful to the State of Califor-
mia" by its activities in attempting
to block Boulder Dam legislation,
resolution adopted unanimously by
city council said tday.
The paper, introduced by Council
man Hall, condemned all agencies
which "'by propaganda and other
methods" have hindered the pas
sage Of the Swing ohnson bill.
1t read in part:
"The San Francisco Bulletin is
the only newspaper of cosmopolitan
rretentlons which has proved so un-
faithful to the people of the state
as TO become propaganda agent
for the enemies of Boulder dam.
"The editors of the paper can
not help but know the articles pub
lished contained statements which
are untrue and are published for
the sole purpose of doing injury to
the Boulder Dam project. -
Many other agencies, the resolu-
tiOn pointed out, had placed printed
matter before the public which was
intended to give an untrue pie
ture" of the dam construction.
Therefore, be it resolved" the
measure concluded, "that the city
council denounees the statements
made in regard to Boulder dam as
published by the San Francisco
Bulletin as untrue and intended to
deceive the American public and
lead Congress into rejection of the
Swing johnson bill. -
Statements Untrue
In introducing his resolution, Hall
declared he quoted from testimony
given before the Federal Trade
Commission.
Samuel insult of Chicago, ae-
cording to testimony before the
commission, donatS1 $61.750 to the
fund being used to battle Boulder
Dam. The Electric Bond and Share
Company gave $60,994 and the Paci-
fic Gas and Electric Company gave
1881.
"Southern California Edison got
out easier and paid 1919 toward
anti-dam legislation and the Los
Angeles Gas and Electric only
1880
"The Bulletin has tried to show
that President Coolidge, Hoover and
various other high officials have
been opposed to Boulder dam,
Hall concluded. tIt has incorrectly
quoted the high officials by infer
ence and otherwise so that the
statements when sent to press wero
entirely untruthful.'

"The natives of Alaska are lifting their faces to higher things and want education" said Stephen s.

He is another ambaSSa- dor, carrying the philosophy of the "uplift" and quite sure that the na- tives are getting the notion.
 They long for the culture of all the races," he said, "and grasp eag- erly for every bit of literature that comes within their vision. They are going to school gladly, getting more kick out of it than roaming the town or woods
 I'm an Indian but I'm for the younger generation. The sooner some of these old boys get to the hunting grounds, the better it will be for us who are not tied down by tradition, superstition and ig- norance.
 These young natives display a remarkable knowledge of what's going on in the world and will trav- el a long ways to get to polling places where they can register their choice"
 Agenia aid that the herring which are expected in Cook Inlet has everybody guessing. They come and go like a flash and no man can tell when they will come of where htey migrate. There is still a chance for herring harvest, in his opinion and the fishermen are in readiness.

"Schubert's Songs
A Sound Picture

JAMES A. FITZPATRICK, whose
pioneering In the field of synchro-
rized films with his Famous Music
Masters" has made him notable among
directors OF that type, has completed
supervision of the recording OF his
'Schubert's Songs" by the Victor sound
on-discc method, as the first Paramount
sound picture"
Thus. Fitzpatrick attains the double
distinction Of being the first director
10 nave one OF his subjects recorded
oy either Victor or Paramount.
rms PIONEER enthuses over the tri-
words:
1T is easy to be prophetic with the
inevitable. and In so far as the silent
drama has inevitably reached the sat-
uration point, 1t does not require a
prophet TO tell lis what the innovation
OF sound Is going to do to the motion
picture industry
For the past four years, I have
been obliged 10 limit my Famous Music
Masters TO the large presentation
tneaters In the key cities, because Of
the smaller theaters inability to pre-
sent pictures that called for q particu-
lar treatment In presentation.
But now the advent OF the sound
picture makes 1t possible to control
music, voice and presentation and
70 any and all theaters equipped with
the necessary apparatus for sound
pictures!
The way OF the pioneer is always
difiicuit, but ! am beginning TO see the
fruits of my labors III behalf OF
