LACK OF INFORMATION
IN THE EAST ABOUT
CONDITIONS IN ALASKA
Mrs. Clifford H. Phillips has again
returned to gladden the community
v/ith her cheerful ways, after having
spent over three months visiting in
Pensylvania, New Jersey and Mary
land. During her visit she attended
the funeral of a brother, Thomas C.
West, who had been cashier of the
Denton National Bank, Denton, Mary
land, for over thirty years, passing
away at the age of 81 years.
While on this trip Mrs. Phillips had
occasion to find out how misinformed
some of Uncle Sam’s post office em
ploes are in regards to Alaska \vhen
she endeavored to mail a book to Cor
dova. The clerk said “that cannot be
delivered this time of year (April) ac
cording to the postal guide.” After
explaining to him.that she had come
from there less than a month previous
and that it was a port open all the
year, never ice-bound, he finally con
sented to accept the package for
mailing. ,
Mrs. Phillips had to use all of her
persuasive powers to convince many
in the east (whose knowledge of geo
graphy is limited) why she was
anxious to again return to Alaska.

FILM COMPANY TO
STAGE SETTINGS IN
COPPER RIVER VALLEY
Motion pictures of Alaskan life,
actually made in Alaska instead of
tlxe usual artificially constructed
studio “sets,” are now being filmed by
the Beaux-Art Features Company,
which passed through her the other
day on its way to the westward, in
charge of President Albert I. Smith.
In order to take full advantage of
the unparalleled Alaskan scenery,
frequent stops will be made. Kodiak
island is the company’s first objective.
Debarking at that point, the party
will cross to the mainland and proceed
into the Valley of the Ten Thousand
Smokes, the old Katmai crater. Com
ing out the company will stop at Cor
dova, making a side trip to the Childs
glacier, where more scenes will be
filmed. Anchorage and Skagway are
also included in the itinerary.
The party includes several of the
best known players of the Los Angeles
film company. The featured player is
Herschel Mayall, known to millions of
picture “fans” as the greatest fighter
on the screen. His leading lady is
Miss Dixie Dawson, one of the most
beautiful blondes ever introduced to
filmdom by Cecil B. DeMile, under
whose direction she has been working
unitl she joined the Beaux-Art Fea
tures.
While the photoplay scenes are
being filmed by Director Wyndham
Gittens, Mr. Smith will oversee the
photogrpahing of “scenics” and trav
elogue films in which many of the
most attractive and historic points
of Alaska will be shown to the world
“outside.”
The plays to be produced are strong
red-blooded dramas of Alaskan life.
Because the stories are such as
could “happen” only in Alaska and
under Alaskan conditions, a long step
in advance of the customary film
procedure is being taken by the com
I pany in coming to Alaska, at great
expense, to stage scenes which are
usualy “faked” on studio stages.

SMALL HERD OF YAK TO BE | j
SHIPPED TO FAIRBANKS
C. G. Georgeson, who is in charge
of all the government farms in
Alaska, advises that a small herd of
Yak would be shipped to the Fair
banks station this season, and they
will probably arrive in the near future.
The animals were secured from the
Canadian government’s experimental
station at Banff, B. C., where they
have proven to be valuable.
These animals were originally
brought into the western world from
Thibet where they are used for milk
ing, as meat producers, and for beasts
of burden. They answer all the pur
pose of cattle for the Thibetans.
For several years Profesor Geor
geson has advocated an experiment
in cross breeding with the Yak and
the Galloway' stock which the govern
ment farming stations along the coast
have imported into Alaska. The im
portation of Yak into the interior, it
is believed, means that such an ex
periment will be tried at the Fairbanks
farm. This, however, will probably
not occur for a year or two, as it is
believed that no cattle will be brought
there until next season, and possibly
later than that.
