ALASKA BUILDING

Local Organization Makes Excellent Showing for Firat Years
 Business

The Alaska Building and Com mercial Company of Douglas, of which J. W. Martin is president, Charles l.. Major is secretary, and Thomas D. Gnlls is treasurer and superintendent, all local men of high standing, is now one year old and ls in a most prosperous condi- tlon.
 As Is we'll known, the object of the organization is for the purpose expressed in the name, Building and Commercial pursuits. The principal business is that of build lng comfortable homes that can be rented at the lowest possible cost. thus providing for the rapidly ln- creasing population that is coming Co this section of Alaska. In con nectlon with its business tho com pany has just had issued from the job printing department of the News office It's first annual state ment in the form of circular from which the following is an extract:
 Everyone who has been in this country for any length of time un- derstands Che rental conditions on Gastineau channel. A steadily in crcaslng population and we'll paid employment for hundreds of men with families. combined with the scarcity of homes, cause high rents which are bound to continue.
 "It is very easy to figure what per cent S1S.O0 a month rent will pay on $1.O0OOO home.
 "Thls ia the plan of the company to pay each man the money his dollar actually earns.
 "Last year, due to the initial cost of organizing and getting the busi- ness started. thc expenses of the company were heavier in proportion to che amount of money invested than they will be in any following year. Yet. notwithstanding this, II per cent was earned. and after the guaranteed interest was paid to the stockholders the balance was turned back into the company's treasury with which to build more homes, each shareholder receiving a receipt for his interest thus used.
 "In addition to the IA per cent net earnings the company also bcn- catted by considerable increase in the value of its properties.
 "Thc Alaska Building & Com mercial Co.,, Inc, conducts a con s,rvativc. substantial business and ,s not in any way a wildcat scheme. You are invited to inspect Che books at any time and to so out and see the homes that arc built and also the ones that are under construction.

tion is pursued as the submarine sinks.
 There is the additional possibility and in fact a certainty that the "U-53" which is of size and cruising radius to permit, carries concealed in her super structure flooding-deck a second and smaller submarine, sufficiently large in size to make possible the escape of her crew in emergency or sinking by an enemy vessel"
 'I have in my office here, one de- sign of a large cargo carrying submar- inc which includes in equipment two smaller submarines, capable of carry ing 100 Persons"'
 Questioned whether this design was one newly drawn or among those known to have been among the plans submitted to the Krupps in Germany when he was consulted by that nation in 1905. MT. Lake refused to particu- larize or to commment on the United States having considered the building Of such boats with smaller submar- ines aboard.
 From other sources it was given as an opinion that no boat had ever been built in this country with super structure capacity for either launches, juvenile subs or passenger carrying space.
 Verifying the statements made by MT. Lake, persons closely connected with submarine building thisssrity today pointed to the. Tact that the Lake company during the Russian Ja- panese war designed and built portable submarines for Russia. These boats about 70 feet in length had a total submerged displacement of only 175 tons or 130 tons net. Their depth was nominal in proportion to length, though all the offensive functions of warfare were included With boats now 300 or more feet in length, ex- perts here declare the possibility of miniature size is perfectly within the scope of practicability.
