GOLD STORAGE
 PLANT GOING UP RAPIDLY
Will be Ready 10 Handle Fall
 Run Salmon and HaIiBut

As per first plans and statements made by President J. 4. Mason of the Alaska Fish and Cold Storage Co.,, the construction work on the plant at kems is going ahead steadily, there being at the present time twenty men employed in the various branches of the prepara- tory work.
 The 99-foot approach to the wharf and the foundations for a 50xl50-foot build- ing are already completed, and Forenad Ed. E. Noble has all the necessary piles cut and ready on the ground for driving the wharf. This driving will occupy about ten days, and would have already been commenced but for the accident to the P C. X \. Ca pile-driyer B week or two ago. As soon ss the wharf is com. pleted the work of erecting the buildings will be taken up and pushed to comple. ton as rapidly ss possible.
 The machinery will be installed in time to be ready for handling the fall run of salmon and halibut. Mir. Mason informs reporter that contracts have been entered into whereby this plant will handle practically all the halibut taken by the big fishing fleets in Frede- rick Sound and Sumner Straits and the banks in contiguous waters. When it is considered that these bodies of water produce, annually, thousands of tons of halibut-and only part of the banks fshed at that-one can readily zee the wisdom of the company in getting in on the ground floor and establishing its plant in the center of these great fishing grounds.

A report from Washington, D. C., says that on April g the House committee on territories made a report on bill to regulate liquor licenses in Alaska. Ii is the purpose of the bill to break up what r-s=------- the territory. Heretofore the retail licenses have been of a graduated char acter, ranging from $500 a year in towns whose population is l5o0 or over, to s5oo in places whose population is below 300 Under the new bill fiat retail license of 5000 is provided, and provision is made that no license shall be issued except in an incorporated town or in one where there is resident commissioner or dep uty United States marshal. Ii is said by Governor Hoggstf and others in the territory that under the present law saloon keeper can pay license of s5oO and then move his saloon to any part of the territory as long as he does not get into town containing over 800 people. This system enables him to follow con- struction camps and other small bodies of men, and il is claimed that this prac- tice has proved injurious. In the new bill the wholesale license remains at 5000, as under the present law.

WOOD STILL LEADS.
As Material in Building Construction Is
Latest Report.

LATEST hePotls
Great as the advance in fre.proof
construction has been during the last
ten years there has been no let-up in
the use OF lumber, and both architects
and builders find themselves so depend
ent on wood today that they are COM
PEELED to admit that the forests of the
country are likely to be the chief
source Of builing material for many
years TO come.
"The use Of cement, terra Gotta,
brick and stone, with a framework OF
steal, viii make IL possible soon to do
away with wood entirely" Is a remark
often heard, and, indeed, when one
stands on lower Broadway and looks
up at the towering skyscrapers, the
statement seems 20 contain much truth.
As a matter OF fact, however, the pop.
ular idea that fre.proof materials will
do away with the need Of using lum-
Der in comparatively few years is
very erroneous one. All Of the various
ilre-proof materials going into the APP
proved construction of the more sub
stantial buildings are used in greater
quantities now than the world dreamed
Of few years ago, yet the heavy de-
mand for lumber continues.
That wood predominates Is shown by
the annual building records. OF the
permits used for buildings erected last
year, approximately 81 per cent. were
constructed OF wood, and the remaining
30 per cent. Of fire resisting material,
according to a report issued by the
geological survey on operations in
forty.nine leading cities Of the country.
These figures are the more significant
when it is realized that they only rep
resent the building activities in the
largest cities; they do not take into &C.
count the construction OF dwellings,
stores and other buildings in the tnous-
ends of small cities and towns scattered
over and not included in the forty-nine
cities on which the reckoning is made.
In towns and small cities wood Ia
usually the predominsting building ma
terial and ii Is safe 10 say that If the
statistics had included figures for all
Of whatever size, the percentage Of
wooden construction would have been
much greater These figures, as rule.
ere only for the corporate limits, and
the suburbs Of these cities have each
very large amounts to be added. The
ccst, also, is relatively higher in these
cities than in towns nearer the base
Of the supply.
