ALASKA BUREAU AROUSES
 INTEREST IN NORTHLAND
Secretary Lane Comments Campaign to Attract Attention of Congress
 to the TerritOry's Needs.

SEATTLE, Jan. 25.-A letter was received yesterday by the Alaska bureau of the Chamber of Commerce from Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, commenting on the bureaus campaign to call the atten- ton of the members of congress to the needs of Alaska
 q note the activity of your bureau in Alaskan development, and appreci- ate your assistance in the work we are doing in that country" wrote sec retary Lane.
 The campaign is bringing far bet ter results than were even hoped for. Senators and representatives are hav- ing the need of consideration in Alas ka matters called to their attention, not by circular letters, but by person. al appeal from men with whom they are acquainted. Indicative of this is the letter received yesterday from Charles c. Dawes, president of the Central Trust Company, of Chicago, to whom H. R. Clise sent a message.
 q have sent your letter, as request ed, to my friend, Senator Sherman, of Illinois" write Mir. Dawes. q am in- clined to think he will cooperate for the general improvement of Alaska"
 Through the Frederick & BascOm Loggers' Supply Company, Robert J. Mckay of the James Mckay Com pany, of Pittsburg, writes:
 "We are glad you sent this letter, and will certainly take this up with our representatives in congress and request that they do all they can Oo to forward the matter in hand" Through G. N. Skinner, president of the Employers Association, Will liam B. Roswell, jr., secertary of the Founders and Employers Association, of Los Angeles, writes:
 We fully appreciate the import ance of Alaska and her interests, and will be glad to help matters in that 1 direction. Seattle P. I.

HENRY FORD.

Henry Ford has been called a jack ass and a clown because he hired a ship and sailed across the sea to stop the most frightful slaughter the world has ever known. The big thing in his action is not the question whether he will or will not stop the war, but the fact that he is willing to try! It was by trying that he got where he is. But still he keeps on trying.
 In the face of overwhelming odds, in spite of a worldwide criticism, he is willing to undertake the greatest job that ever fell to the lot of a human being in the worlds history. He brushes aside the thousands of columns of newspaper criticisms, he ignores the public utterance of so- called statesmen, he sets his face to- ward the most glorious goal that any man ever hoped to acnieve-and goes on his way Trying.
 So far, he is the only person who has taken a definite step toward end ing the war. True it may not be the right step, you get that by trying. The men who sit in swivel chairs and sheer and make funny jokes about that man Ford are not taking steps of any kind to end the war. The job looks too big and too hopeless to them. It looks big to Ford and may be it looks hopeless to him. But he's got the nerve to try and spends his own money. Asking aid of no man, What a nation this would be, if each industry could be headed by a Ford who was willing to try, what chance would any other nation under the sun have with us. What if more of us were willing to try and less of us were slaves of convention and creatures of habit. There is a word in the dictionary called can't, leave it there. Never use it. Well we've been Henry Fording" it for the past twelve years, and expect to keep right at it, until the Powers that be, and the Engineers that direct it, awaken to the fact that Seward is the Begin ming and Final jumping off place of construction of Government railroads in Alaska. In the meantime, We have plenty time and help to serve you. Best treatment, best price, and sure ly the Best Goods.

BRUNEI

The first great subaqueous tunnel
 was built under the Thames at Lon-
 don by Sir Mark Isambard Brunei, who died 67 years ago to-day, in his eighty-first year. Brunei was one of the most prolific inventors of his time, and he was a pioneer in many
 lines, but the Thames tunnel Is his greatest memorial. It was a worm which suggested to Brunei the pos sibility of a tunnel under the Thames.
 While passing through a dockyard he noticed piece of ship timber per forated by a destructive worm-the Teredo Navalis. Brunei studied the worms mode of operation in borning into the wood, and this suggested to his mind the construction of cast irn shield, which shuld bore like an auger by means of strong hydraulic
 screws, while as rapidly as the earth
 was cut away bricklayers should be
 at hand to replace it with an arch.
 The work on the Thames tunnel commenced in 1925, and, after many vicissitudes and accidents it was completed in 1843, when Brunei was
 knighted by Queen Victoria. Brunei was also the first to make shoes by
 machinery, and he also devised ma- chimes for knitting, minimizing, rul- ing paper and making wooden boxes
 In his youth Brunei spent several years in America, and designed and built a theatre in New York and planned Qualifications for the city.

CAMPAIGN FOR ST. |LuKE'S. FUND WILL
 END THIS EVENING
Workers Strive to Get Four More Pledges of
 $1,000 Each.

At s:30 o'clock tonight, St. Luke's campaign workers will give the final report for their seven days work, canvassing the city for funds with which to build church, parish hall and rectory in the East Side. Last night the workers carried the total up to $11,337 and tonight's totals will be of particular interest. Walter B. Lashar has pledged $1,000 if four others will make similar pledges. St. Luke's congregation with Suffragan Bishop Acheson and the minister in charge, Rev. William H. Jepson. are doing their best to get the sums and will make every effort to keep MT. Lashar's pledge by matching it with four others.
 St. Luke's has particular work to perform in the East Side of Bridge port where the agencies for healthful recreation and church attendance are few. The present church at Strat- ford avenue and Sixth streets is so small and has so many inconveniences that the mission is handicapped in every way. The mission church which is the property of every Epis- copalian in the city, makes the final appeal today and many workers are giving up the entire day to the can vass.
 Many are interested in the cam paign because the parish hall with bowling alley, pool and billiard tables will open a recreation centre for men and young men of all denominations Tbo c7,j16 rooms for inc women and young women will also meet a long felt need in the vicinity. St. Luke's has carried on a seven day campaign with splendid object in view. Il has been successful. The present site of the church will be sold for ap- proximately $25,000, with the present amount of pledges. the amount Is $36,- 337

 This sort of thing presents of the oldest problems nected with municipal government.
 It is the problem of the open and closed town main difference in Bridgeport the hypocrisy he authorities
 Instead of saying the authorities of other cities that the town is in their opinion necessity political not from the moral standpoint Bridgeport authorities make speeches to church organizations appoint sons and pretend that vice has been driven out.
