MILLION FEET IF TIMBER BE USED
 ON LOWELL CREEK
PLEASED WITH PRO GREss; PROJECT EXPECT
 ED CONTESTED END YEAR

With the first quarter million feet of lumber placed along the stream and 20 men busy on the head works, it can be said that the Lowell Creek flood control project is we'll under way, accorGvng ito J B. Warrack, head of the Warrack Construction Co. of Seattle. The enterprise which is a cooperative movement between the government, the Territory and the city of Seward, involves approxi- mately $125,OO and is for the pur- pose of protecting the city from the high waters which frequently pour down from Lowell canyon where a big snow and water shed is confined in a small area. If weather condi tions do not interfere the project should be completed before the end of the year, possibly in November.
 The present construction ttt the head of the project, necessitates some minor changes, includes 312 feet of wing dyke, crib and 50 feet of cut off wall. The dyke and cutoff wall extend from wall to wall of the can yon forcing the waters into the head of the Hume. This part of the work will take 40 days, it is estimated. With the completion Of the dyke the work on the Hume proper will begin. This comprises a wood aqueduct about $500 feet long, F feet wide and eight feet deep.
 MT. Warrack is pleased with the way the Alaska Transfer is dis tributing the heavy aimbers along the banks of the creek in readiness for the work especially so consider ing the arduous nature of the job and the rough Eround& i've want our timber reach but not So close that a sudden flood might take it away" from the Ketchikan Spruce mills is only a part of the 100000 feet that will be necessary; the timblars pass ed the grading test of the West Coast Lumber Bureau All lumber to be used in the project will be of Alaska manufacture
 Jack Ecker is superintendent of the job for the Warrack Construction Co.,. in direct charge of the work assisted by Gunder Olson, assistant superin- tendent. Lieut.. Itchner, engineer officer in charge for the road commits sion, will cooperate in the direction of operations.
 The completion of the project will necessitata some decided changes in the location of the tracks of the Alas ka Railroad where they cross the delta of Lowell Creek. and wiM pos sibly bring about change in the lo- cation of the depot. These are mat ters that will be taken up at once by the new general superintendent of the railroad and the road commission in collaboration with the Warrack Go.

EGYPTIAN TEMPLES AT PHILAE.

The ancient Egyptians, among the
first peoples to emerge from a state OF
barbarism to civilization, worshiped not
in the sort of church with which you
are familiar, but in huge temples built
somewhat similar to that pictured here
today. And they worshiped not one
God, but many of them, the principal
ones being Isis, Osiris and Horus MANY
hundreds of years have gone by since
this old Egyptian culture fiourished, buS
many of the temples are still in exist
ence and in a fairly good state of pres
ervation.
Since most of the cities were built on
the shores of the Nile River, it is here
That one must look for traces of the
many buildings built long before Euro
peans had ceased to be barbarianS. Some
of the most interesting temples left to
us from these distant days are those
built at Philae, small island in che
Nile, about 500 miles south Of the pres
cnt city of Alexandria.
The Temple of Isis, as the principal
structure is called was erected about
1900 years ago by King Nekhtnebf, a
powerful ruler of the time. But it was
only one of a number of temples that
were subsequently built about this re-
gion. Ptolemy PhiladelphTs, a later
King, reconstructed the temple and en-
larged it few hundred years later; and
Ptolemy Eurgetes succeeded in adding
additional buildings, until this island OF
Philae became the site. Of group o!

That night the news went around

Ordinarily the Fayette contest was
the biggest game of the season, but
this year, it assumed the role of minor
engagement. Red, by the time it was
played, was able to be about, and he
