He had been given up as dead by his fellow workers.

Commercial Club

The Commercial Club luncheons at the WrangelI Hotel each Monday continue to have good attendance.
 F. G. Brynolson of Seattle and Vancouver was guest of the club at its luncheon last Monday. MT. Bryn- olson is interested in the exportation of lumber, and upon being called on, said that he was most optimistic con- corning the outlook for the lumber industry in Alaska. He regarded the five million feet which were exported from Alaska last year as only be- ginning and stated that he expected that at least twelve million feet would be exported from Alaska this year. The present year has only just begun and export orders for three million feet have already been book ed. According to MT. Brynolson the Southern pine is fast becoming a thing of the past and spruce is ta- king its place. The Alaska product is its own best advertiser. Orders re- ceived in Seattle and Vancouver from previous purchasers in the United Kingdom specify Alaska spruce.
 Alaska spruce has been we'll re- ceived in different parts of the world, especially in England and the east ern part of the United States where it is being used extensively in shop work. It is by all odds the best wood in existence for sounding boards for musical instruments.
 MT. Brynolson stated that he re- garded Australia as the most promis- ing and satisfactory market for the output of the Alaskan mills owing to the desirable cutting specifications. He stated that the matetr of trans portation is much more of a problem than that of finding a market for Alaska lumber. He said he expected to see steamers instead of sailing yes sells coming to Alaska for lumber be- fore the end of the year, and that the lumber business in Alaska will be- come permanent on large scale.
 A letter was read from the Seattle Chamber of Commerce which con- tained the following paragraphs:
 Requests for Alaska pictures for publicity purposes are coming to us from various parts Of the states in an- ticipation of the Presidents visit to the Territory this summer. II this trip materializes we expect the greatest opportunity for constructive publicity Alaska has ever experi- enced. To meet this inevitable de- mand for Alaska material and, par ticularly, pictures, illustrating the industrial and scenic assets Of your district, We are writing to urge that you send us representative views, some twenty or more copies of each print, which we shall guarantee 10 place with the most widely circula- ting publications in the country. True pictures Of Alaska can do more real advertising for the North than columns of printed matter.
 Members of the House Committee on Territories will probably visit Alaska this summer on the transport St. Mihiel, as guests of Secretary Weeks. They plan to leave Seattle about the middle of May or first of June. Congressmen Miller and John son of Washington state have been invited to accompany the party"

err For a great many years there was
strong popular prejudice against those

that in some instances the consolida-

stimulate competition. Under the

such a nature that shipper will in

CONSOLIDATION

Commission w ork s
Out Plans for Comb
nation of Lines.

Washington.-(Special correspond
lence).-One of the most important
tasks ever undertaken by the Inter
state Commerce Commission is now
receiving the attention of that body
This has in view the formulation of a
plan for consolidation of railroads into
a relatively few large competitive sys-
tens. Economy of operation and a
greater efficiency in handling freight
and passengers is the end in view.
The project has been taken up in
pursuance of the transportation act
passed by congress in 1920. That act
provides for either a compulsory or a
voluntary consolidation OF railroad
properties. Paragraph 4 of Section
407 of the act requires the commission
to plan for consolidation of railway
properties into a limited number OF
systems, preserving competition as full
ly as possible and also preserving ex-
listing routes and channels of trade and
commerce. Subject to these require
ments. systems are to be so arranged
that cost of transportation over COM
petitive systems shall be practically
the same. so that these competitive |
systems can employ uniform rates in
of competitive traffic, and.
under efficient management, substan-
tally the same rate of return be
earned. When the commission has
agreed upon a tentative plan it is re-
CURED to conduct hearings for the pur-
pose of receiving the opinions of rail-
way officials and representatives of
states. After the hearings are at an
md the commission is given power
o adopt a plan for consolidation.
Hearings are in progress now.
No Watered Stock.

ion provides that any two or more
arriers by railroad may consolidate

 Paradoxical as it may seem, these do not want the public 10 pause, absorbed in the gorgeousness of show windows, replete with the latest in fashions-they do not want prospective customers to view their wares except by daylight, if the ex- pressions of the board of directors may be taken as an index of the sen timents of the membership.

 In series of letters the direct ors have appealed to the mem bership to stop lighting their windows-to dis courage night life around their busi- ness houses. Some of the stores have been working toward this end for a long time, not only drnmng their lights. but curtaining or shuttering their show windows.
 With such holdings as we have" one letter asked, doesn't it seem the height of folly to jeopardize them through night lighting. with it's pos- sible. nay, more than that, probable consequences?

 M0REHOUSE JURYMEN TAKE WEEKEND REST
Probe Of Mob Activities Is Believed
 Nearly Concluded

BASTROP, La., March 1O.-(By As sociated ss.)=The Warehouse parish grand jury Investigating out rages in the parish by masked bands last summer and fall held no session today, having adjourned late Friday until Monday morning.
 The jury was organized last Mon day and during the four days they devoted to examination of witnesses 1t heard more than 30 persons.
 Although Attorney General A. V. Coco, his first assistant, George Seth Guion. and Senator Howard Warren of Shreveport, special assistant, have attended the sessions of the jury. it has been made plain that the jury is supreme authority under the law and that the attorney general and his associates are only assisting in the examination of witnessr District Attorney David Garrett also is in attendance.
 Only the jury knows hew many more witnesses it will call before it begins it's deliberations. but since 1t thus far has confined its subpoenas to the more important witnesses who testified at the open hearing in Jan uary and has examined more than 30 persons, it is believed only a few more will be summoned.
 Scores of witnesses testified at the open hearing which continue l from January to 25, but the testi- mony was along the same lines
 Many who expect the grand jury to complete it's work early next week base their opinion on the belief that the jury hardly would waste tim. upon witnesses who would offer only testimony already given.
