WORKING ALONG RIGHT LINES

Lacking local industries Alaska has been drained of money that will never return- but which should have remained to develop home resources. Slow progress IS belng made in needed legislation, and other ham, dicaps are being removed which, in part at, least, will stop the pouring of money out side the Territory.
 Last week a representative of the Seward Chamber of Commerce appeared before the United States Chamber of Commerce, then in annual session at Washington, D. C. He was given the privilege of the floor" and because of the facts he presented was sue cessful in obtaining the endorsement of that prominent body, for the passage of the Al aska Grazing Bill" The Seward Chamber of Commerce for two years tried to obtain legislation that last month passed Congress and was signed by the President, allowing the export of Alaskan timber cut on the pub lie domain.
 MT. Noel w. Smith, general manager of the Alaska Railroad has quietly been mak- ing demonstration of the industrial pos abilities along the railroad. All furniture used in their offices depots and hotel, is manufactured from birch timber cut and finished along the railroad the product is very pleasing in appearance and of fine quality. lnsular pins cross arms, broom and mop sticks and other wooden articles are also being manufactured. A foundry, which has been operating for two years furnishes the railroad with special castings, brake shoes, brasses, journals, copper and brass stock, stoves, etc., in competition with outside manufacturers. The coke and char coal used by the railroad is manufactured locally from Alaskan products, and birch and cottonwood veneer has been made that is suitable for export. Oak car sills are be- ing replaced as needed with native hemlOck and have proven satisfactory. The demand in the tanning trade for hemlock bark or bark extract also the market for barrels, box shocks and cold storage boxes, is being investigated by MT. Smith, and if a market is found new industries will be developed or profitable sales found for by-products of established mills.
 The Seward Chamber of Commerce, some time ago compiled statistics which were printed in these columns, showing the tons of butter cheese, eggs, potatoes, bacon, mutton, beef, canned fruit and vegetables imported annually, much of which could be produced locally. The possibilities for sheep raising has been demonstrated by the shipments of wool thru Seward during the past three years, bound for outside mar kets
 From time to time these columns will contain the results of investigations by the Chamber of Commerce on industrial sub ject, especially that of a market for Alaska resources.

ITALY is YET IN
GRIP OF FLOOD
IN NOR THEAS

ROME, May 18.-The rivers and
streams in northern Italy which were
transformed into raging torrents by
the heavy rains, lasting in some
places Y hours, are beginning to fall.
This is indicated in reports from Tu-
rim, Piacena and other sections of the
northwest.
Flood conditions III the northwest,
however, have not abated, while hum
dreds of square miles from Piedmont
to Tstria are still unde. water, with
the inhabitants living in improvised
camps. The river Po was dropping
slowly this afternoon. While the gem
eral situation is still grave, even
worse than in the floods of 1907 and
1917, public services are being resum.
ed Most of the railway lines are able
to operate on what are known as "bad
storm" schedules, and in some places
by re-routings.
Thousands of soldiers and Red Cross
workers are engaged in relief, food
and clothing being supplied to the
sufferers from various relief stations
which have been established.

White House Promptly
Denies Story About
"Seances" Held There
CBy Dlspasch A. P. wtreI

WASHIN GTON, May 1S.-A
roundabout story of 'ttable-tippinS
seances'' at the White House was
told today before a house COM
mittee, and promptly denied. The
story was a part of "a hearing on
a bill to regulate cIairvOyants i'm
the District of Columbia. Rose
Mackenberg, an investigator for
Harry HOudini, testified that
Washington fOrtune-telIer named
Mrs. Jane Coates had told her she
had definite information that
seances were held in the executive
mansion with President Coolidge
present.
Mrs. Coates also was quoted by
the witness as saying that other
prominent officials had consulted
her. While Miss Mac<enberg was
testifyfng, Mrs. Coates was shout
ing deniaIs from her place among
the spectators. She declared the
testimony in regard to her was en-
tireIy false.
Later, it was stated at the
White House that "nO' seances
had been held there during the
Coolidge administration.
