Frank Brock, well known oldtim
er of Dawson died at Dawson the

cently received in Fairbanks.

Hal Roach, producer of motion
picture comedies, arrived in Juneau
recently on board his own yacht, the
Gypsy. He is now rated many times
a millionaire, says the Empire of
recent date. His second coming to
Alaska is strangely contrasted with
his departure several years ago when
he left Valdez, where he had been
for several years, with his steamer
ticket and $4 in cash.

The proposed bridge will permit
saddle and pack horses to cross
' as well as dog teams, and will
give access to one of the largest
| game regions in Alaska.
I The bridge will somewhat resem
ble the new bridge at Curry, but
will have improvements. Col. Steese

* greeable swaying while being cross
ed . The shortest site is 288 feet and

POPULAR NOVEL OF GOPHER
PRAIRIE IS FILMED
Florence Vidor and Monte Blue Fea
tured In “Main Street.”
Florence Vidor and Monte Blue,
two of the most talented persons
now gracing the silver screen ,have

It is doubtful if any other story

as has “Main Street.” Even now,
several years after its publication, it

town, while Carol Kennicott, the
young heroine, now symbolizes all
women with the crusading instinct
who come to small towns with a de
sire to make it more realistic.
“Main Street” is the story of Carol
Kennicott’s fight to make the natives
of Gopher Prairie accept her ideas,
spruce up, become advanced, and in
