BEAUTIFUL GAVEL
 IS A WORK OF ART

Eliciting many expressions of ad- miration on the part of all who have seen it, a unique gavel, the handiwork of Rev. Father Wm. .McMillan, has been exhibited in Cordova the past few days. The gavel is an artistic piece of work, represtative of the Northland's riches in ivory, game and gold. The head, fashioned from the tusk of a Boring Sea walrus, has been cleverly joined to handle consisting of the horn of mountain sheep. Where the stock of the handle nor tises into the head a circle of small gold nuggets from the Slate Creek dis trict cunningly conceals the joint. Etched upon one side of the gavel head is the Knights of Columbus in signia; on the other is the council title of the Missoula Council, No. 1921, Knights of Columbus, all in Old English text The gaveI is short ly to be presented by Father McMil- Ian to the Missoula Council, as a greet ing from Alaska.

with rapid strides. Between several stations the work is already 100 per cent completed, and on many others, 50 per cent. A crew of men is also at work installing the culverts and bridges, and some of the culverts are already in place.
 Great credit is due the contractors, and through them, to the local sup erintendent, MT. Richard Anderson, for having pushed the work forward so rapidly under the most adverse weather conditions.
 MT. Hugh L. Frazer, engineer in charge of the work for the govern ment, expresses himself as well pleased with the progress that has been made.
 The more the work progresses, the more one is impressed with the scenic beauty of the road, as laid out; and when completed, Cor dovans will be able to enjoy a walk or drive along a road unexcelled for beauty anywhere, in any country.
 The work is beginning to make a showing which can be seen from the Lake, but while blasting is in progress, it is not avisable to ap- proach too closely to the scene of operations.

Records of Plumbing Inspector
Frank L. Yerbury sternly curb
knockers-of Rock Island who might
say that the city took other than a
forward step during 1922. They
prove conclusively that there was
an increase both in population and
in real estate values during the
year.
The value OF new plumbing in
stalled by the 500 workmen in shops
throughout the city is estimated by
Mr.. erbury to rea4cn $275,6UO. The
estimate for 1921 was $4,000,
showing nearly 100 per cent in
crease. This work is widely re-
galded as an index to the growta
Of the city.
Some Other figures in the annual
report sdbstantiate this conclusion.
For instance, the number of plumb
ing fxtures-such as sinks, toilets
and tubs-installed in 1922 was
2,065. as compared with 1.l72 in
1921. Again, fees collected by the
department amounted tQ~$2,579 in
1922 but only $1,63S in 1921.
The indication Of new homes was
a big surprise. For plumbing was
installed in 1856 houses during the
year while in 1921 only 81 such
items were on record. All the way
down the Inspectors list the items
for 1922 far exceed those for 1921 !;
the past year was a boom one in
deed for the city.
"The best part OF it is" said Mr..
Yerbury prospects. for next year
are even better. Judging. from our
end OF construction, 1928, will see
Rock Island grow rapidly"
