The progress of community is marked by the class of buildings which attends it's advancement as prosperity is achieved. This has held true in Alaska ever since the towns were located and will probably con- tinue as long as residents demand a better living condition.
 Seward has added itself to the pro- gressive class of towns by the recent acquisition of the Arcade Building, on which construction work was com menced last fall and completed in ear ly December. H. V. HOben and Al Davis, owners of the new building, have spared no expense in making the new building one of the most up-to- date apartment and office buildings in the Territory. The cost of the com pleted structure was we'll above forty thousand dollars.
 The building is four stories in height, the lower floor being half basement, the two top floors being oc- cupied by four four-room and two five room apartments; the ground floor is taken up by one five-room apartment and the offices of the Alaska Steam ship and the Pacific Steamship Com panies and the Resurrection Bay Lum- Der Company.

SMALL CANNERIES
 BE HURT BY TAX

Ward H. James, who is manager and proprietor of small cannery at An chorage, arrived on the steamship Alameda on his way to the northern port to prepare for his seasons work Mr. James was formerly in the fish packing business at Kodiak, and has had considerable experience of late years in the packing business. To a Gateway representative MT. James explained his attitude on the proposed increase in cannery taxes. At the same time Mr. Ward expressed the opinion that Delegate Sutherlands ag- itation against the fisheries reserves would be helpful to the canners, as it would bring about better under standing between the packers and the residents of the Territory:
 'The proposed tax is unjust to the small cannery in that it is almost pro- hibitive. The packer who puts up four or five thousand cases under the proposed law mt:.t pay the same as the large company putting up ten to one hundred thousand cases. The new bill proposes a tax of $500 on fish traps, whether these traps catch one or one million fish; this should be graduated so as to tax each fish or each thousand fish, traps in poor loca tions paying less than those in good locations. I have three traps, which under the new bill will cost me $500 each; I am supposed to pay 15 cents per case tax and four cents to the government. This with other taxes will cause me to pay an aggregate tax of from s29OO to s35OO on a pack of eight thousand caes. To this add the cost of packing, transportation, commissions, insurance, etc, and you can see that the small cannery will be forced into liquidation. I believe all taxes should be based upon the size of pack and the number of fish caught by trap"
 MT. James declared the small can- nery was the ultimate outcome of the fishing business in Alaska It would mean more to the territory as practi- cally all labor was hired at home Mr. James company expended s19,000 in Anchorage last season.

produced by the America Radiator company and is of Type A construc- tion. A mean temperature of 75 de- grees was maintained all winter, with plenty of reserve heat in store.
 The building is fireproof inside and out; the construction of the walls and floors making it impossible for fire to communicate from one floor to another. On every floor is hydrant and fire hose, while extinguishers are scattered throughout the building pro- miscuously. The Arcade comes as near being modern, fireproof structure as it is possible to make it.
 Noteworthy in the construction of the building is the fact that all work was done by local artisans. To P. H. Peterson is given the credit for the architectural work; Cal M. Brosius was the building contractor; Gerhard Johnson most creditably applied the inte.sc' clustering and exterior stucco work. Charles Lechner installed the plumbing and heating system. The electric wiring was done by w. R. Shellhorn. The lumber was sawed by local mills. Sand for the plaster and stucco was taken from the beach ad- jacent to the building site. The Ar cade building is an all-Seward product erected and finished by Seward me- chanics.
