CORDOVACLUB
 SENDS MESSAGE
 TOWASHINCTON

Upon receipt of a message from the Juneau Commercial Club, stating that the senate had cut down the appropriation for roads in the terri tory from $955,0O0, the amount asked for, to $350,O00, the executive com mittee of the Cordova Chamber of Commerce met yesterday and sent a wire to Senators Chamberlain, War ren and Wadsworth, asking them to use their utmost influence to have the appropriation restored to the amount asked for. The amount al- lowed by the senate is barely suffi- cient to do the necessary repair work and would not allow any extension or new work to be undertaken. Alas ka now has an excellent set of offic- CTS on the Alaskan road commission and if the money is appropriated they ask for to carry out their plans, the territory in time will have roads and trails to take care of all travel. Men such as these should be given the support of all Alaskans. .su

The action of "The Best of Luck" the swiftly moving spectacular melo- drama booked at the Empress to- night, revolves about a chest of jewels, once the property of a Span ish queen which lies at the bottom of the sea in a wrecked galleon.

Without exaggeration it is safe to say that "The Best of Luck" is one of the most exciting and ab- sorbing photoplays seen in this city for many months.

Like many another city in the nation, Putnam suffered, as to it's building pro- EEtm. during 1920, as the result of the rapid and unexpected fading away of the Erkat wave of prosperity that the coun- If was enjoying. ,
 Fhe great part of the building done in this city during the past year was car- r1ed out by the Manhasset Manufactur- ine company, which added another splen- did mill to the group it hes been devel- opfng here for several years past and gaFe the city many new and pretty dwell ines for the housing of it's operatives.
 What has been done by the Manhasset coknpany has greatly improved the ap- peerance of that section of the city where the activities have been carried out. The new dwellings are very sight, lyS vary in type of architecture, are equipped with all modern conveniences and are fine examples of what is being done by big concerns in housing their operatives.
 As happened almost everywhere, the siQwing up of the tire fabric industry brpught a curtailment of development w1rk by the Manhasset company, but the prospects are good that the development will be resumed as soon as the present period of depression passes away
