BUSINESS CONDITIONS
 IN WESTWARD COUNTRY
 GOOD SAYS E. S. HEWITT

conditions are good out at the Westward" said E. s. Hewitt, the Juneau and Anchorage office supply man. who has returned to Juneau from, Anchorage, where he has spent several months. They are particu- larly good at Anchorage and Cor dova. About 2,OOO men are still em- ployed on the government railroad, and most of them get their sup plies through Anchorage, and make that place their headquarters. The outlook for another prosperous year at Anchorage could not be better.
 "Cordova is also lively. There is more work there. and more life than there has been since the days of railroad construction"
 Mir. Hewitt also has good word for Valdez. He says the town is the center of a fast developing mining district. "They are developing g good mining country in the Valdez section" he said. "They do things at Valdez"
 Mir. Hewitt will remain at Jul neau for some time.

The City of Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great, like an cratic
meteor, flashed across the browse of
civilization-weary Egypt; and, perhaps.
as a memorial of his dedication in the
land of the Pharaohs, he left behind
him the beginning Of vigorous Greek
city, Alexandria, destined to be the
gateway for a flow of western rejuve-
nation to the worn valley, and today,

places, one of the greatest prizes Tor

by the National Geographic society.
Alexander built his city in 332 B. c.,
upon the ruins of an Egyptian town,
Rhacotis. After more than 1000 years.
Alexandria has become the life OF
Egypt. its largest port, one of the bust
est ports on the Mediterranean, and an
| important world city.
The modern city is divided into two
parts, one of which, inhabited by No
hammedans, is a hstless tangle OF

place where the light had been, and
