REINDEER PICTURES
SHOWN TO CROWD

Over 60 enthusiastic persons
crowded the social hall of the
Lutheran Church last evening to
view the colored slide pictures
shown by DR.. George Dale, of the
Indian Service Bureau. Alaskans
were represented from many of
the outstanding regions of Alaska,
including Seward, Skagway, Cor
dova, Fairbanks, Nome, The Mata-
nuska Valley, and the Pribiloff
Islands.
Such success as this shows that
the Alaskans are alert to take
advantage of the educational value
contained in such lectures.
The Rev. A. A. Alsop announces
however, that this is only the be-
ginning of what should prove to
be the finest series of motion pic
ture and slide photo exhibits to
be shown in a long time. Next
Thursday at pm. Trevor Davis
of the Snap Shop, perhaps one OF
the most expert amateur and pro-
fessional photographers in this
region, will show series of col
ored slides depicting the beauty
and romance of our own region
of Juneau. The public is welcome
to participate.

portation between Seattle and Ju-
neau. This advance is occasioned
by the demand for secondhand
cars, but at the same time, we must
admit that cars are one year older
and with another years wear and
tear added.
TT was therefore deemed that
to keep values abreast of the usual
car-value yardstick, the Blue Book
would not be equitable, so the autos
have been re-assessed at their last
years value.
1.-THE Assessor hopes that you will
agree with him on the premises.
If not, your recourse is with the
Equalization Board which meets at
