A company has been formed and the necessary stock is all subscribed to install water plant at Solomon Basin to manufacture electricity to supply the town Of Valdez and also Fort Lis cum. This company has leased the property and plant of A. B. Hes, and the plant, which he commenced last fall, will be completed at the very earliest moment.

The people of Fairbanks are circulating petition addressed to the war department urging that a larger amount of the road commis- sion money be expended on the Valdez Fairbanks trail. The peti- tion contains accurate statistics regarding the travel and freis ht business along this trail, and shows where money expended on this route will be of the most benefit to all of the second and third divi- sions. Thousands of signatures have already been secured.
 It behooves the people of town to clean up their yards and put their buildings in sanitary condition, as the doctors say the prevalence of cry sipelas and other diseases this spring is due to the unsanitary conditions un- der which the patients have been living.
 Speaking of the cannery outlook the Seattle papers say: ''There is nothing to indicate that the cannery men do not expect as good a year as ever in Alaska. In fact there is general optimism mani tested in the preparations the Northern companies are making A number of canneries which have not been operated for several years past will be running during the coming summer and number of the other plants have been equipped with new machinery and prepared for larger packing capac- ity. Coon Dip, the Chinese labor contractor. states that his contracts indicate that all the canners are looking for good run of fish, as most of the agreements call for as large if not larger packs than last year. One well posted packer said that he looked for very favora ble run of the red salmon this year, but would not be surprised if there was shortage of pinks."

The problem OF ballroom sufficiently large TO

vide space for banquet tables has been solved
in a more or less satisfactory manner by board
ing the orchestra and parterre OF the theatre

clumsy and unsatisfactory. Horses. framing anu
boarding must be stored at all times, afrording
excellent food for fire. Much time and expense are
entailed in erecting the fimsy temporary structure

of applying the principle OF the waffle iron to the
