Alaskans Build Roads

"The district superintendents of the Commission are all men of long ex- perience in Alaska as well as with the Commission. They are excellen, men and have their districts we'll in hand. The foremen are all old-timers who are thoroughly familiar with road work and conditions at all seasons of the year. Even the common labor is made up largely of longtime re- sidents of the Territory. A well-knit organization is being built up, addi- tional equipment is being secured and granted reasonable appropria- tion, from year to year, substantial results will soon follow.
 "The support and encouragement met with in all parts of the Territory has been particularly gratifying. A united front should convince Congress, of the need for substantial appropri ations for the next few years, il any real progress is to be made"

NEW YORK, Oct, % Ellis lsl- and, melting pot of the world, IS boil ing as never before, with the greatest flood of immigrants in history pour ing into it. Millions more are clamor' ing at Europe's exist, anxious to come to America and Congress will be pressed to quickly enlarge both tho physical plant and working force on the Island to more than double its present size, according to Emigration Commissioner Frederick A. Wallis.
 Since early last summer, aliens have been entering Americas front door in unprecedented numbers. The problem of housing them until they can be admitted to the country has be- come painful to all parties concerned Recently, hundreds of immigrants de tained for investigation had to sleel standing up,' as the floors, benches and chairs already were filled witt the backwash from the congested dor mitories.

The tide is cetain to become greater with each passing month, Commission CT Wallis felt assured. Steamship op- orators informed him their accommo- dations are booked to capacity for 12 months ahead. Government officials announced 267,00O applications had been made for passports in Poland alone, mostly by Jews, while hund- reds of thousands in other parts of Europe also were anxious to cross the seas to this country.
 Between 3,O00,0OO and 100000 Italians are seeking domiciles and citizenship here and more than 5000 900 Poles want to come over,"t said Commissioner Wallis, who attributed the exodus from Europe to the harsh postwar living conditions and the economic situation.
 Frequently the commissioner asked the aliens why they left Europe. Most of them replied "no money, no eat, he said. Many Italian farmers declared they quit their native soil because oi the danger from explosions when ploy. ing in former battlegrounds.

ELLIS COMPANY RETURNS

The Ellis Show Company which played return engagement at the 4. B. Hall last night failed to win tue hearty and unanimous applause of the large audience as they did during their first appearance, simply because the entire program was not up to their us ual standard. Each act was rushed through with the evident desire on the part of the players to get it over with as quickly as possible. The pep and de- sire GO please which featured their first performance was lacking through out the entire show. Miss Broncll danced with her usual grace but she appeared tired and disintereSted and rendered each of her numbers with an evident desire to get through with them as rapidly as possible. No en- core throughout the program was hear ty enough to make any of the players respond. Some of the comedy amused the children and produced few scat tered laughs among the grown ups. A "Wc have the money get through vii: i.," performance which lasted barely an hour and twenty minutes, made those who had attended the first sfcw feel that they had been cheated and those who had failed to see the first shoy think that the people who had told them what a really worth while show the first was, were spool ing them. An after the show engage ment or fear that they might lose the boat may have been the cause of the scrambled program but nomatter 
 what the reason, the fact remains that the people as whole left the hall witt feeling of keen disappointment. Bob by Mack may boost Seward when he reaches the outside as he. said he >would do last night. We think that he should, because we feel that we are entitled to a boost for the suppor. that we gave him and his company. Hn gave us a dollars worth when he first showed and we were all glad that we exchanged the simoleon for two hours of splendid entertainment. We were so glad and so we'll satisfied with the first exchange that practlc- ally all of us decided to exchange an- other dollar when he announced re- turn engagement. We did. Nuff said. We are not kicking because we only got two bits worth of amusement for the second simoleon, we are simply ordering just why Mack and his company short changed us. There is probably an answer some where and some of us may be able to figure it ost correctly, but no matter what it is the fact remains that the show last last night was as different from the first performance as phonograph record is different from grand opera I We live to learn and as we learn we
