SEWARD TO FAIRBANKS
VIA RADIO STATIONS
ALASKA ROAD COMMISSION TO
OPERATE PHONE LINE TO IN
TERIOR OVER HIGHWAY
While all army signaf corps offices
except two between Valdez and Fair
banks on Richardson highway will be
closed .this summer by the war depart
ment, sections of the telegraph line
will be taken over and maintained by
the Alaska road commission. The en
tire line will be abandoned by the
signal corps probably by September 1,
and headquarters for that section
moved from Valdez to Seward.
The commission will take over por
tions of the line and install telephones
connecting with two radio stations to
be erected by the signal corps, one
lat Grundler, on the upper Tanana riv
er, and the other at Copper Center.
Primarily this will be done, it is an
nounced to facilitate the operations
and movement of commission crews
on the Richardson highway. How
ever, the service will be open to the
public.
The extent of the phone service has
not yet been determined. It is possible
the line will be maintained north from
Grundler to Fairbanks, and south to
Donnelly. Out of Copper Center the
line may be maintained north as far
as Paxon, south on the Valdez end
of the highway to Teikell, and to
Chitina on the Willow Creek-Chitina
section. This would cover the most
important sections of the line.
At present the signal corps oper
ates offices at Wortman, Teikell, Cop
per Center, Haggard, McCallum and
Richardson. It has maintained a tele
graphic service between Valdez and
Fairbanks almost 20 years. Economic
reasons are said to be the cause for
the abandonment of the line which
parallels the Alaska railroad. It is
understood that all traffic formerly
handled over the line to the interior
will be handled in .the future by radio
between this city and Fairbanks.
OLD TIME “THRILLER”
MAKES GOOD PICTURE
Those who went'to the opening per
formance of The Midnight Express,”
which is at the Liberty theatre to
night were just as thrilled as could be.
It has often been said that the old
time standbys cannot be revived on
the screen. “The Midnight Express,”
most definitely and emphatically dis
proves this contention. This play in
its stage version wras as much of a
standard for barnstormers as “Pellie
The Cloak Model.”
The story is well known to many
old time Lheatre goers and it has not
suffered in its main characteristics
in being transferred to the screen. It
is the tale of a young man, son of the
railroad president living a life of dis
sipation and finally throwm on his own
resources by his irate father -who
learns that he has not been at his
work for a week. The boy’s conse
quent efforts for success under an as j
sumed name on his father’s road and I
his meeting with the girl wTho spurs
him into carrying oi} when he wrould
have given up, form a fast moving tale
af action which includes a fierce strug
gle with an escaped convict and a
real train wreck. The reviewer can
safely say that anyone going to see
:he picture will be well repaid.

Imagine
a telephone—
which would connect
with only half the J
numbers in the bookj
TT wouldn’t be more annoying
than a radio set that receives
only half the stations.
The ordinary radio set receives
wave-lengths only from 240 to
550 meters. There are now over
a hundred stations broadcasting
on less than 240 meters not
reached by these receivers.
You don’t need two sets to get all
these stations, present and future.
The new Grebe Synchrophase will
tune them all because it receives
from 550 down to 150 meters,
thanks to an exclusive invention
The LoW'Wave Extension
Circuits.
•50 240 550
The high-wave reception range of the Grebe
dial (B) —from 550 down to 240 meters—
equals the practical tuning range of the
usual receiver. The low-wave range of the
Grebe dial (A) provides additional recep
tion down to 150 meters.
Ask for a demonstration; then compare
