ALASKA INTERESTS AT THE NATIONAL
 CAPITAL, WASH.
tContinued from Page Onel

Interior Department. Over 2,500 newspapers in the United States will set forth the objects sought to be attained. In addition var lous excursion agencies and Cham bers of Commerce, from the At lantic to the Pacific states, will take the matter up with thousands of individuals, in the effort to promote excursions to the north of men with capital to invest and who might give aid in the en- couragement of prospectors and mining men to go to the north. This commendable work of pub licity is being directed by Ernest Walker Sawyer, who is thoroughly conversant with the resources of Alaska and vitally interested in their development.
 One of the major projects in the investigation about to start will be an examination of the An- thracite Ridge coal field in the vicinity of the Alaska Railroad, on which. $127,OOO will be expended. There will be detailed surface in vestigations, including test pitting and trenching where there are known veins more than 50 feet thick, to cost $27,OOO, while the subsurface core drilling of about 4,0C0 feet will cost $1O0,O0O. The sum of $6O,OOO has been allocated to Willow Creek, Fairbanks, Cop per Mountain, Girdwood, Kantish- na, and Moose Pass districts. and a party will operate in each of these areas.
 Four parties will do preliminary exploratory eXmination, at cost of $24,000, in the West Fork of Chulitna, Valdez Creek, Talkeetna Mountains and Yentna districts. There has been $5,000 set aside to investigate, test and report on non-metalic minerals, such as clay. limestone, mari, etc., in the railroad belt.
 A representative in Alaska, with headquarters at Anchorage, will be maintained throughout the year by the Geological Survey, to work with prospectors and mining companies, and make available to them and the general public the results of the individual investi- gatiOns within a few weeks after the field work of the parties has been completed. This representa- tive will also be a medium of CO., ordination between the railroad and the other agencies engaged in this program. The General Land Office will aid in making surveys of the areas investigated.

 The people of Fairbanks are very anxious that construction of their new Federal building start during the mild season of early summer and have asked the Dele gate to exert his influence to that end.

screen and even Maxine Doyle
making a try for those patrons
whose preference is for the fair
haired.
Platinum Blonde" is titled
around the sometimes very beauti-
full but generally very inapt, Jean
Harlow. In this instance the title
is incidental to the play which is
a newspaper story a bit different
from the others and made into an
hours delightful entertainment by
the charm Of the late Robert Will
liams. A c1ear-thinking reporter
loses his head and his heart to a
lady from the social register and
his experiences, while bitter, are
the basis for a great picture play.
Williams Is Star
Jean Harlow would do well to
keep her chin up and stop try
ing to be coy: Loretta Young is
a sweet and capable young player
who almost loses her man; Louise
Closer Hale is amusing as al
ways; Edmund BreeSe, Reginald
Owen, Claude Alister and others
do well in supporting roles. Rob-
ert Williams, whimsical, amusing
and capable, carries the play on
his own shoulders and apparently
without effort.
Excellent Stage Show
The vivacious Alice White,
heroine of many screen plays,
headlines the stage attractions
and proves herself a graceful
little dancer, an ambition, she
tells us. from childhood. She
shares the spotlight with Jack
Pepper, a Washington favorite,
who steps out upon the stage he

It seemed like I couldn't be either.
