Consideration Asked
 For Alaska College

Dr. Charles Bunnell, president of Alaska College at Fairbanks, has written a public statement address ed to all who are interested in go- ing to college. The statement fol- lows:
 Many to whom this statement comes have matriculated at some institution of higher learning in the States; others were graduated at the annual High School Com mencements in the Territory this year, but whether you have attend ed college, intend to attend, or at present are undecided, I trust that you and those most concerned about your education will take time to give due consideration to the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines.
 The Alaska College will begin it's twelfth year September 15, with a faculty exceptionally well quali- fled both by scholastic attainments and by teaching experience to pre- sent the several courses offered For this reason I emphasize the fact that a small institution splen- wiwly equipped with the latest and best laboratory equipment, ade- quate library facilities, and the ad- vantage of individual attention in classroom work presents the best kind of an opportunity for young man or young woman to secure an education.
 Quite recently We were confront ed with the statement that the col lege was essentially a mining school ties for women students. Sixty have been graduated from this in stitution. Of this number twenty five are from the School of Mines; thirty-five are from other depart ments; there are fourteen women graduates. If one will take time to s found on pages S5 and S6 of the 1893 1894 catalogue together with the list of seniors on page 87, nine of whom were graduated this year, he will find recorded there young men and women who made good in college and who are mak- ing good out of college. Of the sixty graduates forty-six are domi- ciled in the Territory and occupy responsible positions. Besides the Arts and Letters Course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science are offered in Agriculture, Bus mess Administration, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, General Science, Geology, Home Economics, Metal lurgv and Mining Engineering.
 Of special advantage and in- terest in connection with this "Farthest North" College are the cooperative research projects upon which it is engaged: Palaeontology with the American Museum of Ma tural History, study of the Aurora under the grant from the Rockefel- Ter Foundation, second Internation- al Polar Year Commission, and Archaeological work on St. Law renee Island. In addition the United States Bureau of Mines and the Biological Survey have stations at the College. Under the provisions of the Hatch Act the College operates both the Fairbanks and Matanuska Agriculture Experiment Stations

SLIM WILLIAMS JOINED
 BY OLD CIRCUIT RIDER

Slim" Williams, en route from Copper Center, Alaska to the Gen. tury of Progress Exposition at Chi cago, passed through Drummond, Montana, recently and delivered a talk there. Learning that M. L. Blanche Fogg Cuthbert, formerly of Valdez, resided there, he called at her home and spent seYral hours rcounting incidents of his long treck.
 Mrs. Cuthbert sent to her sister, Mrs. Beulah H. Dieringer of Val dez, clipping from a Butte news paper in which it is stated Williams has been joined by another pio- neer Alaskan on his journey. The clipping says: @
 Salvation Jim, the circit rid ing minister of the wild Alaska of
 the days of '9S, passed through Butte esterday-riding as he did when he comforted the sick in iso- lated mining camps In the frozen North-behind a team of sleigh dogs.
 He Is the character so descrip- lively painted by Robert w. Ser vice in his widely quoted poem of
 the American wilderness-"Trail of '98,"
 Salvation Jim is Andrew D. Wooler, S0-year-old Alaskan min sionary who spent the best years of his life in the Far North, 'mush- ing along behind his sled from miners shack to miners shack and from one boom mining village to another in the days following the gold rush to Alaska.
 "In a sled which a few short months ago saw service through heavy drifts of snow out of Copper Center, Alaska, and pulled by the tsame eight huskies which lowed it through back breaking drifts and fierce blizzards, the aged minister
 rode serenely eastward-to the Century of Progress Exposition at
 Chicago.
 "Only yesterday the sleigh trav- eled with wheels-wheels that had
 been fitted to it shortly before the party entered the United States | from Canada a couple of months jago.

government lines. suggest that it is a false view to consider the highway as government trans portation line for the use of which fees or tolls should be charged That has never been the view en- .tertained with respect to Federal aid roads outside of Alaska, nor is 1t correct to say that outside of Alaska the railroads are in private ownership and only the highways are publicly owned and operated for I direct your attention to the fact that within the last few years some hundreds of millions. of dol lars of federal funds have been loaned to the railroads and nobody now pretends that all of this mon- ey will ever be repaid. In fact, many of the railroads, have only been able to operate and can only now, operate through the contin- ued use of these federal funds. Surely if an experiment is to be made of charging tolls or fees for the use of highways, that eXperi- ment should not be started in a frontier country, sparsely settled where the people are very poor and where they have so many other problems which they must solve in order to make a sparse scant liv- ing < &"
 Distcrts Wilson's Plan
 Tt will be said, of course, that the government has put out $70,- 000,000 for the construction and maintenance of the railroad and that is undoubtedly true. But the government has not given as much per mile for the Alaska Railroad as it gave per mile through land donations and otherwise to the first transcontine1tal railroa ds 
 Former President Wilson, with the true vision of the empire builder, had great plan for Alas ka. This plan embraced the con- struction of the Alaska Railroad and the construction of a com prehensive system of highways covering the Territory as well as the development of the coal and oil lands o fAlaska. Coupled with this was his plan, on the political

be extended to cover private pas 'senger cars, as well as privately
 owned trucks which carry mer-
 chandise for their owners. I do not believe that the Federal Gov ernment should be required to build and maintain a highway to compete with it's own railroad, which. is operated at loss to the of the United States. It is true that the fees collected will not cover the cost of mainten- ance of the highway or the deficit of the railroad, but they will be a contribution toward reducing very large subsidy now being made at the expense of the people Of the United States. I am not aware of a parallel situation here:

CAPT O'L i I: FILM PORTRAITS GAY
 MODERN YOUTH
Sylvia Sidney and Fredric March, Heiress, Report

Sylvia Sidney and Frederic March, two stars of major sbril- liance. give splendid performances in 'Merrily We Go to He'll" Para mounts motion picture version of the story, T, Jerry, Take Thee Joan,' by Cleo Lucas, which is playing at the Capitol Theatre to- night for the last times
 Frederic March takes the part of a newspaper reporter. talented and charming, but with a devastat- ing appetite for liquor and carous- ing, who meets Sylvia Sidney, heiress to millions, at party. Sylvia is fascinated by the charm ing, though slightly intoxicated reporter, permits him to kiss her and gives him her telephone num- ber
 Story Develops
 The following morning he phones her and they take drive in Syl- via's car During the time they stop on Lake Shore road he kisses her again and then, egotist that he is, tells her of the one girl he loved, Adrianne Allen, co-ed at college, but now on the stage in New York City. As for Sylvia, he says, T think you're swell.'
 Later, after many complications brought on by March's penchant for carousing at the wrong moment, they are married and Sylvia gives a splendid portrayal of the young wife who reverses her own head strong course and valiantly fights to stem the course of her hus- bands irresponsible life. But the transient affair of March's youth has caused him to raise in his mind an ideal which almost leads to tragedy. 2r
 Then March writes a play which is accepted for production in New York and Sylvia is slightly annoyed to find that Adrianne Allen is cast for the leading part Adrlanne, glamorous blonde beauty of the English stage plays the siren role with the subtle effectiveness of a trained artist.
 It is a drama depicting reckless modern youth, burning life swift ly, laughing uproarously and dis sipating thoughtlessly. Sylvia fin ally, after finding her husband kissing Adrianne in the pantry, leaves for her fathers home and it is only when near tragedy touch es him that March realizes that it is, his wife that he. loves.

 Alaska Burdened Enough
 'After all, Alaska is a new land. Much of it is still the rugged frontier. More than 99 per cent Iof the land of Alaska is yet public domain. The people of that naked country have burdens enough as it is. , They are performing a real work not only for themselves but for the nation May T suggest to you. that it is no unusual thing to be required to put money, much money, in a new land, or a new venture, before any considerable returns can be received therefrom.
