S|'N SET DKKIHiK IN’
El'El, OPERATION
The dredge of the Alaska Sun
set Mines Inc., located at Sunset,
which started digging operations
last Tuesday. Is now in full oper
ation.
Through the zealous efforts and
tireless work of Chester Milligan,
the construction of the dredge,
machinery and supplies for whicn
were hauled from Osborne Creek
during the winter time, was com
pleted In record tlnie this spring.
The strike situation held up
(■(instruction for some time but
final touches were added to the
dredge in rapid order. The dredge
completed widening and digglif?
a pond for itself Tuesday anl
started digging operations late oh
that day. It is now in full oper
ation with a full crew, both on
the dredge qnd in the power
house.
The dredge which was pointing
west, will continue along that
line this year digging mostly in
thawed ground, except in a few
Blares where some surface frost
exists, which it is expected will
not hinder the dredge.
The Federal Emergency Re
lief Administration plans to buy a
quarter of a millon bales of idle
cotton, in order to help things
along. The aid will be two-fofd.
The cotton will be disposed of, to
the advantage of its present hold
ers, and will be turned into gar
ments, etc., for the use of those
who are poor and out of work.
Payment will not be made in gold,
but that fact, it seems, need cause
no anxiety, since a Federal Court'
in Missouri has decided recently
that Congress has the power to
say what shall or shall not he
lawful money of the United States
and that no one, by entering in
to contracts or otherwise, can
take away that power. We have
bidden a temporary farewell to
the ten dollar gold piece, but his
successor seems to be standing
upon a fairly good foundation.
PICTURE RIM THEME
DEEPER THAN DIVORCE
True of many motion pictures
of novels and stage plays as well,
the title of “A Bill of Divorce
ment," screen feature at the Dream
Theatre, does not fittingly des
cribe the nature of the story. ,
For ‘‘A Bill of Divorcement" is
not a divorce problem piny, nei
ther does it touch upon the tragic
results of a sudden marital dis
cord, nor does it in any way at
tempt to draw a moral from dom
estic Infelicity or unfaithfulness.
Rather, the picture ascends to
heights of sheer drama; the dra
ma of woman’s courage, man's
dependency, and a young girl’s
tragic disillusionment. Divorce as
such is incidental to the theme.
The film stars John Barrymore
in what has been described as his
greatest role; a characterization
new io him and new to his vast
audience of admirers and follow
ers.
Playing in featured support are
Katharine Hepburn, a glamorous
newcomer to the screen for whom
stardom Is predicted, and Billie
Burke, one of the greatest act
resses of the American stage. The
picture was directed by George
Cukor.
