PAINTING OF
MT.M’KINLEY
IS UNVEILED
A burst of applause resounded
through the Empress theater last night
as the light was directed to the center
of the stage for the unveiling and first
exhibition to the public of the new
painting by Sidney Laurence of
“Mount McKinley.”
Like a window looking to the heav
ens, all eyes were directed to this
masterpiece of the painter’s art. In
a compass of but five by seven feet is
spread out by the hand of man an ex
panse so vast as to baffle all idea of
existence. Under a sky of unparal
leled transparency is distinguished the
enchanting, eternally snow-crowned
profile of the king of American peaks,
dominating, though miles away, the
entire composition. As the eye low
ers, the vision rests upon a sea of
lesser peaks which stand in valiant
loyalty and awe as the guards and
vassals of “Denali.” Down the sides
pour glaciers, scintillating with na
ture’s gems, forming silver ribbons of
rivers as far as the eye can see. We
have reached the foothills and behold
a majestic waterfall emptying into a
deep canyon. The sound of the fall
ing torrent is almost distinguishable
as it rushes through the great gorge
to the right. A bald-headed eagle
soaring above the cataract enhances
the illusion of space. The foreground
is composed fo a rough and rugged
wilderness of rock and gnarled trees.
Conspicuous is a storm-torn and aged
tree trunk, well knowing that its days
are numbered, to the end waving its
worn-out branches in faithful homage.
Mr. Laurence, we congratulate you.
Alaska’s beauty is next to its great
est possession. Its greatest posses
sion is the old “sourdough.”. You are
one by choice. Here’s our hand. We
appreciate you and are proud of you.
We defy anyone to paint mountains
any better than you do. You have put
your “honorable mentions,” ribbons
and medals in an old sock and thrown
i them in a corner; your genius you
j have not prostituted. You have given
it to us and to our country. You have
I thrown yourself on the bosom of the
j grandest and best land of God’s earth.
. -g-=
We may not be up to the standard of
the Paris or London connoisseurs
when it comes to furthering art, but
we’re proud to count you among “us
common folks," and we want to keep |
you here.
! ROUTINE BUSINESS
IS TRANSACTED AT
MEETING OF COUNCIL
At last night’s meeting of the city
council the system and instructions
of the Alaska Public Utilities when an
alarm of fire is turned in were ex
plained by Councilman Brock. The
telephone operators are to first give
the alarm with the siren and to dis
regard all telephone calls except those 1
coming from the two fire houses, so
that the fire department will be
enabled to find out the location of the
fire without delay. Red lights, instead
of white, are displayed when a call
comes from the fire houses, in order
to expedite the answering of the call.
The need of some means of notifica
tion to firemen who might be attend
ing the show was discussed and was
left to the fire committee to work out
with Captain Lathrop.
An ordinance amending Section 5
of Ordinance No. 35 was introduced
and read, and on motion was ordered
laid on the table until the next meet
ing of the council.
J. L. Galen of the Alaska Transfer
Company called the attention of the
council to the trestle on Water street,
at the rear of the Northern hotel, as
needing repairs, one piling being gone
and the decking being out of line.
The matter was referred to the street
committee.
A petition was read to the council
asking for assistance in getting a road
from the depot around the ball grounds
and on to the bay, so as to accommo
date those people living in that sec
tion of the town. City Attorney F. H.
Foster notified the council that H. B.
Wolking had a similar petition to pre
sent to the road commission at Val
dez, as the building of the road was
under their jurisdiction. After dis
cussion it was agreed to let the mat
ter rest uWil Mr. Wolking’s return
from Valdez, and then take what ac
tion the council could.
