METAL SIGN PLANT
WILL REMAIN HERE
Brilliant Manufacturing Company,
Of Philadelphia, Succeeds Mary
land Advertising Co.
EMPLOY ABOUT 80 PEOPLE;
MUCH WORK ON HAND

The good people of the community
who are interested in the welfare of
Pocomoke City will be glad to learn
that the big sign plant located here
will continue to be operated. The
Maryland Advertising Company has
been taken over by the Brilliant Man
ufacturing Company of Philadelphia.
This gigantic company was establish
ed in 1892 by the late Charles p Ray
and was incorporated in 1895 under
the laws of Pennsylvania. Their home
office is at 1035-Ridge avenue, Phila.
delphia, and Mr.. C. p. Ray, Jr., the
president, is in charge of the Phila-
delphia plant. 1t is the largest metal
sign manufacturing concern in the
East and has sales representatives in
all sections Of the country. They man
ufacture all kinds of indoor and out
door signs. The nlant here will be
run as branch factory and will be
devoted entirely to the manufacture
of paint printed signs.
The Pocomoke City plant will be
under the management of Mr.. Lee NJ.
Ray, secretary and treasurer of the
Brilliant Manufacturing Company. He
has already taken charge of the bust
ness and has his plans we'll formulat-
ed for making the plant hum He is
a business man of unusual training,
young in years and apparently full of
: pep. Those of our people who have
had the pleasure of meeting him al
ready realize that he will be quite al;
accession to the business interests o.
Pocomokc City, and they join us in
welcoming him to our city.
Mr.. Max Platter will be in charge
of the technical work. He is an ar
fist in his line, has had experience in
all lines of paint work in the United
States and Mexico and has been asso-
ciated with the Brilliant Manufacture
ing Company for eight years. Mr..
Gather Hall is also employed at the
local plant and will assist in looking
after the interest of the company
here.
The fact that this we'll known COM
pany has taken hold of this work here
means great things for Pocomoke
City. For while it was feared that
the plant would be shut down and the
announcement that it will continue to
operate will be we'll received by all
who have the welfare of the town at
heart. It's continuance means the dis
tribution of many dollars each and
every week in our town. They have
considerable work on hand at the
present time. enough to last them the
most of this year. They expect to
make the plant permanency and we
I'll know what that will mean to Po-
comoke. They are now employing
from 25 to 30 hands and this number
will be increased to so or more when
the plant gets in full operation.
Pocomoke City welcomes this new
firm to her borders and all of our cit
liens will join US in expressing the
hope that they will have a long and
successful business career in our
midst.
Here is success to the Brilliant
Manufacturing Company of Phila-
delphia.

SALMON FRY RELEASED DURING YEAR ON PACIFIC FOR EVERY
 MAN. WOMAN, CHILD IN TIE U. s,

TACOMA, Wash, NoY, 8. S.-IIanher- ies in the Pacific Northwest this year sent into the Pacific Ocean ap- proximately 0,000,000 salmon fry, or one fish for every man, woman and child in the United States, according to estimates here
 Hatcheries are doing much to re- vitalize the fishing industry of the Northwest, which has shown signs of depletion in the last few years. With the hatcheries work, laws to protect the salmon have been passed.
 Fish experts, trying to save the industry, have studied the life story of the salmon and have used it as basis for their methods. The hatcheries, placed on streams which salmon enter to spawn, take eggs from the female salmon, hatch them and turn the small fish back into the streams.
 When the salmon has reached the age of one year and has attained a length of from 4 to 14 inches,i it heads for the open sea. For foul years it feeds on the salmon banks, attains q weight of 25 pounds or Bore and then through some instinct that never varies, heads straight back to the stream of it's birth, there to reproduce it's kind and die where it was born This is true of every species except the "hump- back salmon, which has life cy 3le of two years.

 sAlaska, who has recently been over the constructed portion of the road, states that the railroad will in his opinion, pay surely and substan- tially in the ultimate benefits which will be derived both to the territory and the nation.
 Under the conditions that per tain in Alaska private capital would not be justified n constructing a railroad. For this reason the Gov 'ernment undertook the project with a view to the development of the territory. Since it is practically completed and it's completion is all important step in the opening up of this vast and rich territory the ad- ditional sum recommended for the consummation of the project is deemed wise and proper eXpenG ture.

available ($2,3S1,166.22) steel can be had over the 61 miles. Before the railroad is completed and in shape for operating as through carrier of passengers and freight, it will be necessary to construct a steel and concrete bridge 1,340 feet in length over thes Tanana River, a bridge of timber and concrete ap- proXimately 600 feet in length over the Nenaua River to standardize 56 miles ol the line between Nenana aad Fairbanks, to make a number of fills, ballast certain portions of the track, construct necessary snow sheds, provide some pumping plants and additional rolling stock and in CtEer minor particulars finish the construction. After rs careful con- sider''ion the engineer in charge has timated that this will require S4 000, 900. x
 This estimate and expenditure is approved and recommended by the Department Of the Interior.

 Revenue of $1,0OO, ,O0O a Year.
 The revenue derived from the un- completed road during the fiscal year 1921 was approximately $339.- 900. It is estimated that when com -pleted the revenues will amount to approximately s1.000,00O per year. This estimate is based in part upon probable agricultural and mining but primarily upon the that freight and pas senger business now going over other and longer routes-water and pass over the rail road.

figure of S56,000,000. The additional appropriations required oyer the or iginal estimate have been and are due to underestimation of cost by the engineers and in large measure to the increased cost of labor, ma from B to 174 per cent during the war over the cost in 1915, when the actual construction work was start ed. and the-4 costs are not yet back to normal In addition the construc- ten orga nization was crippled by the le3pcnse of employees to the call to arms, which seemed a higher duty.
 Coal mining was engaged in by the Commission to furnish coal for construction and operation. These miDing operations, however, resulted in the saving on fuel over the cost Of British Columbia or Washineton State coal of approximately $10 per 1 ton. And there is in, actual opera ton and being developed an excel lent coal mine' which will supply the railroad with fuel at minimum cost during it's operation. This de yelcpmcnt was not contemplated in the original estimate. Fuel has also been supplied from this mine to Alaska cities during coal shortage
 Cczt About $80,250 a Mile.
 The figure of 5000, 900 also includes moneys expended for the maintenance and operation of such portions af the road as were com pleted and in addition to this moneys expended for construction and maintenance of town sites. The chairman of the Alaska En- ginecring Commission int recent report said:
 The railroad has been construct ed in wilderness where every agency had to be developed and car fried along with the actual road construction. Ocean docks, towns and camps. railroad shops, supply terminals, and even the wagon roads over which to haul the supplies had to be constructed as a necessary part of the plan. Railroad rolling stock. construction equipment and supplies of every description had to be trans ported 1.500 to 2.500 miles from Seattle, the nearest Pacific Coast port.
 Notwithstanding the conditions above outlined. the Alaska railroad had cost about $S0,250 per mile, inclusive of rolling stock and term inals. or $67,630 per mile exclusive of same. It should be understood that of the moneys appropriated to date by Congress only s37,665, 900 had gone into railroad construc- ticn, including terminals and roll ing stock Large sums have been expended in coal mining and rail road operation and maintenance of completed sections in excess of reye- nue received"
