 up to the 5th of August it look ed very discouraging for the Idit- arod, no water; everything dried up, the Iditarod river was mere little brook, and outside of the dredging mining was at stand still.
 But on the 9th of August it started to rain and rained almost continuously. While it made 8 short season we came out away ahead of our expectations. Pay on Julien
 Andrew Miskovich has just re- turned from Julien Creek, which is tributary of George River. George River is a tributary of the Kusko- kwim River.

 The health of the camp is all that could be desired. Everybody is contented and happy and arc looking forward to happy winter

 But the same studio is known to be working on Russian story to star Wallace Beery, with another writer, Boris Ingster, in charge Other studios also are planning diligently-with that excited "se- crecy" that forecasts a vertible hcycle of such films-to present Rus sia to movie fans as background for screen romance.

and then descend into valley be-
hind a dais where Michael practices
his piano lessons.
The correspondent obtained King
Carols permission to visit Michael
at his private school to learn what
the boy wanted for Christmas.
Wearing a grey and yellow wooden
sports suit and wooden golf hose, the
lad who already is an ex-monarch,
received the correspondent in the
presence of his head tutor, Colonel
Grigorescu, smiling and entirely at
ease.
School work was not interrupted.
Michael gave up part of his recess
period, then hurried off to play.
The crown prince is expected to
spend Christmas day with his
father and grandmother, Queen
Marie, at the royal palace. He will
invite few of his friends to share
his Christmas tree.
Although Michael does not know
it, the king has ordered two rifles
made for him as Christmas pres
ents. They are light and small and
"tailor made" for the crown prince.
Michael will take part in winter
sports during the holidays. He is
an expert, for his age, on skis. He
enjoys his work in the school gym
nasium and plays hard.

Clark Howell, editor of the Con-

Bishop Cannon compliments the
Constitution in the size of the judg-
