tin manicure sets in a plush box for
a Christmas present?
Have you a crayon portrait of your
great uncle or your fathers sisters

Do you own a rocking chair that
tips e when you are not expecting
it?
Do you possess a vase that makes
you sick each time you look at it?

others that you hate the sight of, do
them up in a nice, neat package and
let the committee of the White Ele-
plant Party hand them to your

a friend who labored under the de-
fusion that she was an artist, did as

been treasured for twenty years in
the belief that someday it will come
in handy.
If you do not like what you have
drawn you can give it to Major
Hopes and he will auction if off for
you.
There probably will be some aston
ishing articles discovered when the
packages are opened at the Temple
Theatre on Friday night, and much
hilarity.
There will be dancing afterwards.
The proceeds are to go to the Cody
Stampede to help pay the initial ex-
penses of putting on the celebration,

organization will turn out strong,
each armed with a package to hand

MIR. SUTHERLAND'S SHEETIRON
 THUNDER.

Making sheetiron thunder, bowling Big Inter- csts" attacking The Empire have become habitual with Delegate Sutherland, and in obedience 10 habit he performed at all these tricks the legislative fisheries hearing Wednesday night. He characterized The Empire as the organ of the Interests" and reading an editorial that had appeared in The Elm pire, he decared This is bid for you to sell out and it put up you for that purpose Of course, Mr Sutherland know that he spoke falsely, but Mir Sutherlend permits falsehood to stand between him and what he regards opportunity to gain votes for himself
 The Empire holds borief for Alaska cannery men. As matter of fact within the last five years Alaska salmon packers have contributed fortune in dollars to keep competitors in the field against The Empire Many thousands of these dollars contributed for the expressed purpose to put The Empire of business" Furthermore the cempeti- tors of The Empire that have been so tenderly cared for by generous contributions from cannery cash chests have been consistent and persistent supporters of MT. Sutherland and his political ambitions.
 The Empire favor support to the nery interests of Alaska except such every and and business in the Territory owes them-and that is square deal If there is selfish interest in the effort of The Empire prevent politicians from making political football out of tho interests 1t is that selfish interest that would be promoted through the growth and development and prosperity of Alaska in general and the First Division in particular The Empires interest is one that is shared by all the people The Empire will prosper if the people who live in it's field prosper or, putting it the other way about if the people of Juneau and Alaska prosper The Empire will prosper To that extent it might be said that The Empire d selfish interest in it's square deal policy.

Alaska Needs Roads Money.
Seattle Times.l

Efforts to make the Federal Highway and Post office Road acts applicable to Alaska deserving of success. The law establishes a Government fund of approximately $10O, ,000, 900 for building and maintaining highways in States, but part Of the money is available to Alaska and Hawaii the two ter ritories. On the present basis of apportionmen which Is figured population area and road milaee the Northland would be entitled to about $3 900 900 annually. Extension of the acts to Alaska has been urged Congress by the American Builders Associa- ton and the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. and quite likely the proposal will have the support of the United States Chamber of Commerce.
 Direct appropriations by Congress have been the chief source of highway funds for the Northand all though the Territorial Legislature likewise has borne a minor share of road and trail expenditures. Since l905, when the United States Government first put it's highway work in Alaska on systematic basis, the Federal authorities have spent about ST 500 900 and the Territorial officers about $500 O00 The Federal Government makes of two agencies in it's north scn and Department of Agriculture The Alaska Road Commission, which constituted by Congress- IS composed of Army officers really is under the War Department The Commission has charge of all Federal road work outside forest reserves and if virtually directs the expenditures of Territorial high way funds The Agricultural Departments road ac- tlv1t1es are within adjacent to national forests
 Highway construction and maintenance in the northern Territory almost abandoned during and immediately after the World War, with the result that roads and trails deterioraed Their rehabilita- ticn has just been effected. About 1000 miles of hlghways and trails have been built and are main tained with Federal and Territorial funds and in addition numerous bridges and tramways have been constructed and kept in repair
