and going outside only to return, is in
Seward this week, accompanied by his

The young man has longed for the
home of his birth, from the time he
left it, and when the time came for
him to graduate, the father promised
the son he would take him a trip to
Alaska if he graduated at the head
of his class, which he did. The ptes
ent trip is the result of the promise.

for Russian River, where they will
camp for a time enjoying the splendid
fishing in that vicinity. Later lie will
go to Kenai with the coui'f party, re
turning to Los Angeles in about a
month.
WASHINGTON, July 19.—Reports
received here today indicate that
Secretary Work may at an early date
name Colonel Mears as operating head
of the Alaska railroad.
(Newspaper correspondents on the
Henderson believe the report to be
false, stating that Col. Mears was re
moved at the personal instiigation of
the President and that it was hardly
possible he would be reinstated.)

MOVING PICTURE MEN
RETURN FROM LONG TRIP
A. H. Young of San Francisco, and
Jack Young, of Oakland, who have
been touring Alaska taking moving
pictures of all its most prominent
places, were passengers for Seward
on the Watson this morning. They
have been all through the Valley of
Ten Thousand Smokes and report an
exceedingly hard trip, with very un
satisfactory weather. Although Ko
diak would be having ideal weather a
heavy cloud blanket hangs over Kat
mai constantly making it very diffi
cult to secure any pictures.
They went into the Valley rather
light of food, planning to live off the
country to a great extent. However,
they found no fish in the streams and
no game in the valley, so ran out of
food and have been forced to live on
clams for a number of days while
waiting for the boat. However, they
secured some good films and are fair
ly well satisfied with the trip. Today
they made a trip to the Seal Rocks !
near Harding Passage. Messrs. Rob-!
ertson and Young in taking these j
Alaskan pictures are trying to give j
the people the best representation of
Alaska possible.
About ten officers from the Hender-!
son were guests of the Chamber of!
Commerce luncheon at noon today.i
There was no business to be brought
up and the time was devoted to enJ
tertaining the guests.

GIGANTIC SIGN PAINTED •
III ENTRANCE TO BAT
Aron Erlcson, the local sign paint
er yesterday went down to the en
trance to Resurrection Bay, and
on Fox island cliffs, where it can be
seen by all steamers entering or de
parting from the harbor, painted an
immense sign 12 feet high and 250
feet long, bearing the words, "Hard
ing Gateway.’*
The entrance to the bay was chris
tened Harding Gateway by the party
aboard the transport, and it will here
after be known as this. The sign is
a work of great care and patience as
it required much time to hunt a spot
where a sign large enough to be read
at a distance, could be painted.
Wanted—Three room furnished cot
tage; apply at Gateway.
