Unable Go Into Valley
Owing To Lack Travel
Unable to make suitable arrange
ments to go to Katmai Bay, W. M.
Wolf, of Boseman, Mont., who came
to Seward ten days ago with the in
tention of making a trip into the Val
ley of Ten Thousand Smokes, depart
ed for Seattle Sunday on the steam

Mr. Wolf was very much disappoint
ed he could not make the trip at this
time, owing to the fact there was not
a sufficient number of peopb going
to the bay, to warrant the side tiip
by one of the large vessels. How
ever, he said he would return to Sew
ard next year with a half dozen of
his friends, and then head into the
wonderful valley.
Warning Issued Outing
Parties Russian River
People are beginning to leave the
Russian river district and many oth
ers are planning to make the trip
soon. The forestry officials who were
recently in Seward, request that the
citizens of this region, exercise ex
treme care with regards to fire, while
on their outings.
It is stated the disastrous fires of

careless smokers in the forest. A
few camps were responsible for the
remainder.

Proper Use of Limbs
Necessary in the Movies
HOLLYWOOD, Cal., July 9 (/P)—
Hands and feet, how and when they
move, are attracting the casting di
rectors of one film studio here, rather
than faces and their expressions.
Almost any person can be taught to
register certain standard emotions,
such as grief, joy and fear, according
to Director Robert C. Vignoia, but
only a real actor knows what to do
with his hands and feet and how to
do it naturally.
The result has been that Vignola
and his staff are now directing their
inquiring glances no higher than the
waist lines of film applicants. If the
hands and feet make good then the
faces are considered. ,
Work has been begun on the long
est arch bridge in the world at Sid
ney, Australia.
