MOOSE DANCE FOR BALLMEN
 IS TOMORROW
Annua! Affair for Willow Wielders Will Be Held
 in Big Thane Hall

The annual Moose Baseball Dance, given by the l.. o. o. M. for it's willow wielders, will be held tomorrow evening starting shortly after 9;30 o'clock, in the big mess hall at Thane.
 As in past years. this dance is one of the big informal affairs of the spring months, and is the only regular out-of-town dance of the year.
 The Thane hall is in excellent condition for the affair, accord ing to Arthur McKinnon, who is in charge of the dance. All year round large heaters are kept burning in the hall to keep it dry and help the floor remain in good shape for dancing.
 If history repeats, the baseball dance will break all previous 1928 records for dance attend ance. Last year when the Moose gave their Thane social the hall which is larger than any in Ju- neau, was full.
 A special eightpiece orchestra has been engaged to play for the dance, and the names of the members will be announced to- morrow. There will be ferry leaving here at $40 D. m. to- morrow to take Juneau and Douglas people to Thane.
 Those who go in automobiles may rest assured, MT. McKinnon said today. as he has been in formed the Bureau of Public Roads plans to repair few rough places on the highway be- fore tomorrow evening.

CHICAGO, March 30-The staid old Gothic spires of Irish churches are to have strange, new type of steeple. originated in the United States. rise among them.
 Plans for the Cathedral of the Christ at Cork, submitted by a Chicago architect. Barry Byrne. have been accepted. The Byrne design is described by it's author as expressive of the twentieth century, the Catholic church and America. The Chicagoan claims all his designs are original.
 A magazine article referring to Byrne brought him to the atten- tion of the bishop of Cork who invited him to submit plans. The Irish Cathedral is said to be the first European Catholic church designed by an American.
 As unusual as is the exterior of the structure, with it's almost con cealed windows, long sloping roof and tall columnar steeple. the in- terior will be even stranger to church goers accustomed to the deep niched altar. the column lined nave and broken wall line of the prevalent Gothic structures. The Cork cathedral interior will be without columns. IL will be oval and the main altar will ex- tend far out into the auditorium, with pews for worshippers almost surrounding it.
 It will seat 1,200 persons. The tower will be 120 feet high. or as tall as a ten-story building.
 Byrne is 49 years old. He had no college training. For seven years he worked with Frank Lloyd Wright, famous architect. Byrne

PARTY IS GIVEN
 FOR MRS. PEDERSON

In hone- or Mrs. Albert Peder- sen, wife of the proprietor of the Pedersen Dairy who is leaving on one of the next steamers for the south. enroute to her former home in Norway, Mesdames M. Borlick and P. A. Anderson, gave party last night at the home of the latter on Twelfth Street.
 The guests were attired in styles of the 19G0's and the enter tainment was in the nature of an old time party, greatly enjoyed by those present. There were 20 guests. A delightful supper was served.
 Mrs. Pedersen was the recipi- ent of lovely gifts: beautiful handbag, gloves. and suit sweat CT.
 Twenty-Five years ago Mrs. Pedersen came to Alaska from
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-03-30

the Matanuska valley and these found a ready market in the neighboring towns and mining camps. Thousands of quarts of strawberries, raspberries and oth- CT fruits are now grown and con- sumed locally.
 Foodstuff Is Imported
 Tn addition to the quantity of agricultural products raised in the territory, large tonnage of food stuffs is shipped into Alaska from the States every year. Many of these products for which a high price is paid can be produced cheaper locally. This is true es- pecially of dairy products in the region along the Alaska Railroad.
 "A creamery was established in this region last year and is now operating successfully, thus creat- ing a market for all the cream that can be produced there. This creamery has instilled new spirit and encouragement into the farm CTS and has been an incentive to increase the dairy herds and to clear more land.
 Will Be Factor
 Agriculture in Alaska is no longer in the experimental stage and according to all indications" Dr. Alberts added, "it will be an important factor in the economic development of the territory It will stabilize the population which hitherto has had tendency to be unsettled Families are settling in this region, not to stay for only a short time, but to make permanent homes"
 From here Dr. Alberts will pro ceed to the westward and interio' on his annual inspection trip to experiment stations at Matanuska, Fairbanks, and Kodiak and for visits to other sections. During the summer he will make an in- vestigation of grazing areas and conditions on the Alaska Penin- sula and some of the Aleutan Islands, going as far west as Dutch Harbor.

LUMBER MILLS BEGIN MONDAY
 ON 1928 WORK
Big Year Is Anticipated for Local Corporation
 Improvements Made

The Juneau Lumber Mills, Inc. which shut down late last fall, after the busiest season in it's history. will begin operations next Monday April ?, after a winters idleness. According to Roy Rutherford. manager. the 1928 season should prove the big gest the mills have ever had.
 During the winter months small force has been in the em- ploy of the company, making changes and repairs deemed ad- visable or necessary.
 To increase storage space for lumber and box shocks which must be kept dry after being run through the kilns, the large buildings on the mills property, which was used last year by the New England Fish Co.,, has been taken over by the management of the mill and will be put in use as soon as operations are begun.
 Today a group of machinists, carpenters and repair men are at work completing finishing touches for the opening next week. Heat was turned in the dry kilns this morning, testing them out, and they will be working by tomor- row or Sunday.
 Considerable dock work was done since operations were com pleted last fall. In the yards, south of the mill buildings, large area was filled in with mine tailings. and another sec ton at the northern end of the mill property is being filled at the present time.
 A fleet of new lumber trucks has been built during the last few weeks, while another taxi has been added to the car force, giving the company three ma chimes to keep the lumber nov ing from the time it comes off the tables until it is stacked in the yards.
 Approximately 90 men, accord ing to MT. Rutherford, will be put to work with the opening of the mills on Monday. This means the sawmill will run full force from the opening date, with all departments operating.
 Three log booms were brought in recently by Sawyer-Reynolds boats. and are tied up opposite the sawmill and Alaska Juneau docks

FARMING MAKES SOME PROGRESS,
 SAYS ALBERTS
Chief Agronomist Reviews Agricultural Conditions
 in the Territory

Some progress mas been made in the agricultural industry in Alaska in the last few years. ac- cording to Dr. H. W. Alberts, Chief Agronomist. U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture. who is in charge of the Government farm experiment stations in the Terri tory. He arrived here this morn ing from his headquarters at Sit ka and will remain until some time next week.
 If sufficient space can be found for his headquarters in the Fed eral and Territorial building 10 be erected here. Dr. Alberts said they will be moved here after the building is constructed. He was comforting today with Collector of Customs J. c. Mcbride relative to this and with Commissioner c. II. Flory, of his own depart. ment, relative to the coordination of bureau affairs.
 In Transitional Stage
 Alaska has made considerable progress in agricultural develop ment in the last few years" said Dr. Alberts. While only small areas were cultivated in the past and such crops as potatoes. tur- nips and vegetables were grown, farming is now conducted on q larger scale. especially in the in- terior of the territory. Agricul- ture is in a transitional stage h. stead of working only back yard garden and doing the work by hand, larger areas are cultivat- ed and tilling and harvesting ma chinery is brought into use
 Up to this time, our agricul- tural exports have been very light. In 1927 there were export ed from the territory 20 tons of wool and 21a tons of vegetables. This is not an indication of what can be grown, nor an indication of what is being grown for home consumption. About 40 tons Of wheat were milled at the floua mills at Fairbanks and the entire output of this mill was consumed locally. It is estimated that 200 tons of potatoes were produced in
