Technicolor sequences, especially in

Among the outstanding features Of
the show are the "Hallelujah" chorus

Spend M o nth Inspecting Work Done in Chugach
 National Forest

After month spent in surveying
 Forest Service field activities and
 administrative work in Chugach
 National Forest, M L. Merritt, Asst.
 Regional Forester and E. w. Love-
 ridge, Forest Service Inspector, re-
 turned to Juneau early this week.
 They spent most of the time going
 over the rail district in the forest
 between Seward and Anchorage.
 Part of their stay in the rail re- zion coincided with the early por- ton of the visit of the Senatorial
 Investigating committee. The re- suit, apparently, of the committees
 proceedings has been to produce a 1 feeling of uneasineSS over the fu- ture of the governments road oper- ations.
 Rail maintenance crews have been sharply reduced by General Mana ger Ohlson so that the section gangs are more or less mere skeleton or ganizations, MT. Merritt said. This reduction, however, probably re- suited as much from the decline in revenues during the summer season as from the work of the investiga- tors.
 Some development was noticeable in the rail belt, MT. Merritt said. The fur-farming industry is grow ing steadily. Two portable tie making machines have been in- stalled during the past few months and are working very satisfactor- fly. Tie makers utilizing them are able to handle larger trees than possible heretofore. It is expected two more machines will be brought in within few months. The Southeast Alaska tie market will not be materially affected by this development, Mr Merritt said, since the source of tie timber in the Gnu zach Forest is somewhat limited.
 There were no injurious forest fires along the Alaska Railroad this season, largely on account of the abnormal rainfall which was ex- perienced there. Residents in the district however, are cooperating with the Forest Service officers in using every precaution against fires. The rail authorities, also, work with the Forest Service in guarding against and, where need arises, in fighting fires. It has furnished the Foresters with speeders to cover the rail areas, and it's section gangs are under orders to answer any call of the Forest Service for fire guard duty i

MUSEUM GAINS IN NUMBER OF
 ITS VISITORS
More Strangers Sign Reg ister This Season
 than Ever Before

If tourists to Southeast Alaska this season were fewer than had been anticipated by transportation companies, still the visitors who did make the trip showed greater interest than was previously mani fest by strangers in the historical relics of the Northland. Increase is noted in the number of regis trants at the Territorial Museum here.
 The institutions annual reports are compiled for fiscal years, ending June 30, so the latest official fig ures do not cover July and August of this year. But the statistics for these two months are not lower than the records for the same months in 1929.
 For the year ended last June 30, total of 9,233 signed the visitors book, a gain of 455 over the pre- ceding fiscal year. and 342 more than the highest previous registra- ton, which was in 1928.
 Since the opening of the Museum in 1921, an aggregate of 58,920 visi- tors have indited their names on the register. The institution, de- clares the Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff, curator, is constantly widening it's reputation outside of Alaska, and continually growing in importance.
