 ire today in presenting here
 with halftone illustration of
 the Tongass Building-Ketch
 kan's newest business block,
 and the best and most up-to-
 date structure in ali Alaska. To those who live here and

 from the very rock itself, un- til HOW it stands credit to the builders, the Tongass Trading Company, and a monument to the growth and permanancy Of our little city.
 The building as the illustra- tion shows is three stories in height, covering 5Ox95 feet. It is the latest style of modern reinforced concrete construct ion of plaster, beam and cur tain wall design. The pilas- ters are 24 inches in diameter, each reinforced with eight six teen pound steel rails with spiral windings. The curtain walls are twelve inches thick in the basement, ten inches in tue first story, eight in the mezZanine and second floors and six inches in the top story.

It will be unfortunate for Seward if the government should figure out a more ac- Ccssible way of reaching the Matanuska coal fields. The people of that town have dem- cnstrated SC much pluck in placing their faith In the fu- t,,rc importance of their de- llshtful little city that they deserve to see a growth, rapid and substantial. And they will have it if the government arcepts Seward as the term nus of a railroad to the Mat anuska coal fields and Kusk- ckwim gold country.

Electric cars are now very expen-
sive. The makers claim that this IS
because OF the extraordinary cOstli-
ness. But it viii be noticed that in
order to keep the price up, electric cars
are made more elaborate each year.
The new models have room for a small
tea party in arm chairs, and are so
handsomely finished that a speck OF
mud creates as much havoc to their
compilations as 1t does on the nose Of
an heiress- Some day the supply OF
electric will exceed the demand Then
the price will come down on the run.
and lighting companies will begin Civ
ing them away, as they do electric
irons, to increase the demand for cur
rent This prospect should be an in
ducement for every American citizen TO
prOlOng life as much as possible

PEACE oFFICERs At THE s,IEITER

Judging from the attitude of five or
SIX of the peace officers in the lower

that these Officers instead of trying

conflict with the officers. And there is
no reason why this should happen,
when II can be avoided with a more
conservative policy on the part of the
