RADIO OWNERS WILL MEET MONDAY NIGHT
 IN COUNCIL ROOMS

Following a movement started in Juneau last week by radio owners, announcement was made today of the calling of a general meeting of local radio fans. to be held in the Council Chambers oi the City Hall at 7:45 o'clock next Monday.
 The purpose of the meeting, ac cording to M. s. Whittier, who is the originator and is heading the movement, Is to determine wheth CT radio fans desire to formulate themselves into a Club.
 "It is believed by radio owners we can improve our individual sets and local reception in gen eral,' MT Whittier said, If we can get together as a Club, and exchange experiences and ideas in occasional meetings.
 Since the movement for a Club was started some people have said the purpose was to take action against owners of so-called 'squealer' sets. This is not the idea of those interested in start ing the Club.
 We are organizing for mutual helpfulness and l do not believe there is an owner of radio sci which is capable of being made to assqueal who is not just as anxious to know how he can fix and operate his set so as not tC annoy his neighbor, as we are te have him.
 Tt is therefore our hope that owners of sets from one tube ur will attend the meeting Monday night and if permanent organiza tion is deemed advisable, join in mutual constructive discussions' Mir. Whittier said similar clubs elsewhere in Alaska and the States are reputed to have proved beneficial to radio owners and as a consequence he expressed the hope Monday nights meeting will be well attended.

THRILLS, HUMOR AND
 ACTION AT COLISEUM

"The cleverest and most out-of- the ordinary crook comedy of the season." critics have branded Warner Bros production of "The Social Highwayman," opening Sunday at the Coliseum Theatre
 It has it's beginnings in mod erately small-sized town where John Patrick is seen as a young reporter, who during the shuffle after political bout between two local papers, finds himself not only out of job, but out of a car appropriated by Duckert Mel son, train and highway robber played by Montagu Love.
 s Wandering through the hinter land couple of weeks later, he Invites himself for breakfast al the campfire of Dr. R. Rappaport Runyon.. itinerant medicine man When the subject of Duckert Mel son, the robber, comes up and Runyon expresses admiration foi him, our young reporter .confesses that he is the man, not knowing that Runyon is the Jekyn side oi the rObber.
 When Runyon has some fun with him by forcing him to hold up a passing car to prove his identity, and Miss Devore, who represents berself as a famous lady crook, is captured. some most amusing and startling situations are engendered. In Director Will liam Beaudine's usual clean, fast moving style, it is one of the most interesting and novel crook pictures ever filmed.
 Besides Miss Deyore. Mir. Pat rick and Mir. Love, the cast in cludes George Pearce, Lynn Cow an, Russell Simpson, James Cor don, Frank Brownlee. Fred Kel sey and Charles Mailes.

NEW RAILWAY PROPOSED TO
 LINK ALASKA
Financiers Reported Sc riously Considering Plan
 Scheme Outlined

Following the agitation in Brit ish Columbia for the purchase oi the Alaska Panhandle and furth- CT explaining the Associated Press dispatch in i.lo Empire last Sat- urday regarding the scheme f,r linking Chicago with Alaska by a railway, recent copy of the Prince Rupert News has the fol lowing interesting article:
 A new international railway of great strategic and development possibilities looms up as a pos sibiiity, says the Financial Post of Toronto. A group of American financiers who are stated to have the support of Washington, arc working out a scheme to link tho United States and Alaska by rail. As at present, steel is laid from Chicago to the Peace River dls- trict, the actual plans of the pres ent promoters cover construction of line from Peace River .c Alaska following the valleys of various rivers in Northern British Columbia and the Yukon territory The line would link Dawson City and Whiteherse in Canada, and Juneau and other points in Alaska directly with the rest of Canada and the United States. A branch line would be built to serve tne Portland Canal mining area but this line would present greater engineering difficulties than t.l. main route because of the more difficult mountain ranges to be crossed.
 Foresees Dozen kIondikes It. was pointed out to The Finan- Iqisl. Post by oRe ip. touch with, ,ahs new railway promotion that the mineral possibilities along the route are enormous and this gen. tleman prophecies that a dozen Klondikes will be found by the railway builders. In the valleys of the Finlay and other rivers in the far north of British Columbia are stated to be many thousands of acres of the finest agricultural land ranking in it's potentialitias with the Peace River country. Tbe climate is syated to be excellent for wheat growing and grazing being warmed by the Pacific Coast winds and currents. Tim Der exists in vast commercial quantities.
 Washington's sympathy towar1 the proposal is stated to be basel upon strategic considerations. al though the aims of the promoters are to carry on a great pioneering work, similar to the opening up oi the Middle West or the construc tion of the c. P. R.
 In this connection. most sig
 nificant paragraph appeared il one of the Wall Street sermons oi c. w. Barron, publisher of the Wall Street Journal, who is sta. ed to be in touch with the plans of the promoters. Last week nc said:
 "Gold in the Klondike. and cop per at Kennecott have brought Alaska to the attention of world Finance. But there are those whe believe that in Alaska, as in Cah fornia, agriculture will eventually far out-rank the mineral interests

Buck Jones will be riding on the screen of the Coliseum today in what is probably the best pic ture of his career, The War Horse" <
 Thiss H a swiftly moving. grip ping Mle fof the horses share to- ward winning the Great War In fact, it is an epic of mans best friend and his heroic participa- tion on the battle fields of France. Fox Films are to be commended for producing this fine tribute to the horse.
 The story is that of Gray Eagle. played by Silver Buck, and his master, Buck Thomas. played by Buck Jdnes.i Gray Eagle is com lmandeered by the army and ship ped to France. His master, after a vain effort to keep him, joins the army and follows. him across.
 It is in France that very fine series of scenes are pictured showing the horses vital help in the great struggle. Gray Eagle, with his nearly human intelli- gence, is soon recognized as a genius among horses, though in the beginning his beloved master is not with him. Soon, however, Buck and Gray Eagle find each other.

Artist at 50 Trains l Left Hand to Brush

CHICAGO, May 15-Ilke a child learning to walk, Louis AL exander Neebe at 50 years of age began to train his left hand to transfer beauty to canvas.
 All his life he had been. hy avocation, an artist. A stroke of paralysis rendered his right hand useless. but he determined not to give up his ambitions.
 For a year he d.d elemental things with his left hand. Now several of his canvases have been praised at the annual Chicago mo- jury eXhiht.
 Neebe lives at Orlando, Fla. He has been art editor of Chicago newspaper and his landscapes of the middle west and the Atlantic coast had won attention to him.
 Critics assert his left-handed painting is as good as the work he performed with his right.

South Dakota to Try
 Airplane War on Rust

ABERDEEN. s. D., May 15- Planned as the first large-scale attempt to fight wheat rust with airplanes, heavy. lphurous bar rage will be laid down on an ex- perimental tract in Brown coun- ty about July 1.
 Arrangements were complete l at a conference here between Dr. c. R. Ball, senior sgronomist of the federal bureau of plant indus. try; farm leaders and representa- tives from the chamber of com. merce.
 While the mixture to be used has revealed marked proclivitY for checking the growth of both red and black stem rust, nemesis of grain growers in the northwest, the impending application is con. sidered purely experimental. It is planned to use about 20 pounds to the acre over an area four miles long and half a mile wide.
 A similar experiment in Can ada, in which the dust was spray ed over a 40-acre tract, has been declared a success, although erad- ication of barberry, host plant Of rust spores. heretofore has been considered the only effective meas ure cf control.
