LONDON, January 15.-The royal

Pyra mid in Egypt has already aroused
the keenest interest of archeoiogists

and the details of this discovery, which
are now being disclosed for the first

GOLD STORAGE
 PROCRESS|iC

After being away On trap driving job the cannery pile driv- pr is again back on the job and driving piles in quick succession for the new cold storage plant for Petersburg.
 The hope of the Alaskan is that this venture will have successful outcome. The payroll of such a plant will not be very large but it will be a payroll added to tho earnings of the towns people. The disposal of fares will permit ofthe fishermen getting outfits and sup plies from tho several business houses and thereby permit larger business turnover through the year. No one will deny that there is not a business in Petersburg but what will benefit by the completion and final actual operation and use uf this plant. Let us all hope that building operations and machinery installations will be completed in short order. ;

OANBURY
 HA1IER CASt

The Interborough Rapid Tran sit Company of New York City has announced that it will make another "Danbury Hatters' case'' if necessary and has filed suit against strikers for $239,0OO dam ages for losses said to have been incurred during the recent strike of subway employees. Sixty two men have been named as defend ants in the suit. the most of whom are owners of homes and small business places.
 Attorney for the company de- nied that the suit Is an effort to intimidate the strikers. The ranks of the strikers is rapidly being augmented by men who are quitting their places with the company.
 It will be rememberd that the Danbury Hatters case was one in which the manufacturers sued the strikers for losses incurred by strike and boycott and picketing of the factory. The case was bit terly fought through the courts for several yearsbut was finally decided against the defendant strikers. If the ruling of the Danbury case is followed the sub way strikers will have some bill to pay unless the Court ;ailows lesser claims in damages.

CANNERY
 GETTING PACK

The Petersburg Packing Com pany is reported as having canned about 10000 cases of salmon by Thursday of this week. From all indications at this period of the canning season, the company will have no difficulty putting up their pack this year.
 Seventeen traps and six seine crews are furnishing the fish this year. Six crews averaging five crew to the men totaling a crew of thirty men against thirty-four men for the seventeen traps. Thirty men with their families spending all of their earnings right in this district as against thirty-four spending but small rart of their earnings in the Ter ritory. Thirty crews would not take care of the pack put up by or from the traps making toital of more than 180 men with their families earning and spending their entire earnings right in Petersburg or immediate vicinity.
 A hundred thousand cases put ap in the main by resident fisher men would mean much more to the business interests of Peters burg and the Territory in general than the seventeen traps which through it's natural course prevents the growth of the Territory.

 Only $1O,O0O,OOO in cash was advanced to the railways by the Government during the past fiscal year, although it had been estimat- cd that $5O,OO0,OOO would be re- quired The total deficit of $25,- -22,1O1.SO was met partly through a reduction of materials and sup plies on hand, partly from working capital and also by improved oper- ating methods which are said to have brought about marked econo- mics.

The Monte Carlo Fox and Fur Company of Petersburg shipped to kalispell, Montana on the Alameda this week 160 blue foxes.

To see is to be- lieve to those in other parts of the country not conversant with this industry will be able to se- cure first hand information and also be able to draw breeding stock immediately from the ranch in Montana.

ELECTION
 FRAUDS

Forty-four election judges and clerks in Cooks County, the Chicago precinct of Illinois, were indicted by the grand jury for con- spiracy and false canvass.
 Following the charges of prosti- tuition of the primaries by high power spending for the election of United States Senators we might expect evidence brought forth by the Senate Investigat- ing Committee which will nauseate the olfactory nerve of the major portion of the people of the Unit ed States.
 We might call the attention of the Empire to the fact that above elections were not under the con- trol of 'illiterate voting bloc" but under the direction of the Troy particular brand of politics which the people of the Territory are tiled of. Tn other words the hand writing is on the wall.

ITALIANS TO
 FURNISH GRAVES

It would cost an additional $2,048,000 to mark the 30,00O graves of American soldiers in France with crosses made of Am crican granite, high officials of
 the Department of War stated on July in discussing the plans to award the contract to the bidders who offered to furnish crosses of italian Carrara marble for $14.50 each. The appropriati n for tE" 30 900 crosses (and Stars of Da- vid for the Jewish dead> was $548,55O and the hearings show ed that the possible acceptance of foreign bids was contemplated by Congress. It will require $40,0OO more than the appropriation to equip the graves with even the Sl4.50 crosses.
 American marble companies of fered marble crosses at $35. but the American granite companies offered marble crosses at $35. but the American granite manufactur- CTS asked SIS. for the cheapest and $115. for the most expensive headstone of this material. This included cost of transportation to the graveside in France which is placed at about $4 per stone. At this rate the cost of American gi gianite, if this stone were authoriz- ed, might have reached $2,5OO,O00, Or five times the appropriation. The American Battle Monuments Commission, of which General John T. Pershing is chairman, recom- mended the purchase of the Italian | marble, or of French white stone at ,$19. The Department of War 1 regards the matter as essentially one for the Battle Monuments Com
 mission to decide, and 1t is ex- 1 pected that the award of the con- tract for the first 15,OOO head
 stones will be made shortly.

DREDGING ID BE
 COMPLETED

The work of the big dredge Wm. T. Rosselle is progressing much faster than was anticipated. X channel 300 feet in width and 27 feet in depth at mean lower low water on Petersburg Bar will have been completed for regular traffic by the middle of August.
 Work on the other bars will be undertaken by clamshell dredger. Just when this dredger will arrive is not definitely known. However the work will be carried on as expeditiously as the Engineers De- partment can push it along.
 With the completion of the dredging of the Petersburg Bar inc worst feature in the vicinity of Petersburg will have been elim- mated. The dredging of the bar at the north entrance will make it possible for a steamer to lay in port just as long as it might wish and will be able to leave at any stage of the tide. It is to be hoped that this will permit the several steamers which now give Us the go by to stop and give pas sengers time to visit in our city.

 Another shipment of foxes will ae made to Kilispell by this com pany sometime next month. Along with the shipment this week and in his care is MT. Johannes for sometime connected with the opera tons of the Monte Carlo Fox and Fur Company. MT. Johannes will remain at Kalispell in charge of the operations until aboot septem- Der when he expects to make a visit to his home in Norway.
 MT. Jacob Hadlund and assocf- ates in this company are very optomistic about their new venture and they have the good wishes of Alaskans for the success of their operations. Their success will mean much to the industry and to the Territory as it opens new channels and fields of endeavor in an industry that is much overburd- ened with taxes.

Data which show that the great percentage of failures in business are of concerns which do not use newspaper advertising has been prepared by The 100000 Group of American Cities, Inc, with head quarters in Chicago, following ex- .ensive investigation.

Results obtained indicate that a considerable grazing industry may develop in the Aleutian Islands hitherto considered a desolate and more or less worthless part ot Alaska.
 Dr. E. W. Nelson, chief of the Biological Survey, reported some of the islands are being used for fox farming, and on others, which produce a large amount of forage attempts are being made to estab- fish sheep grazing on a large scale.

 RESIGNS

Upon the advice of physicians, Frederick B. Drane, Archdeacon of the Episcopal Church, with super vision of missions of that organiza- lion in Central Alaska, has given up his post in Alaska and plans to leave for the States very short ly. His health is such that Ee could no longer continue his ardu- ous duties in the North without serious risk.
 Archdeacon Drane came to Alas ka in 1915 and was stationed at Nenana for several years before as- suming duty as arehdeacon, fol. lowing the death of the late Arch deacon Hudson Stuck. He took over that work in 1921 and has completed his fifth year of service a large part of the time having been spent on the trail, travelling among the interior missions.
 He was hard worker and very popular among whites and natives and his retirement from the service will be matter of regret to al Alaskans who know him.
