CONGRATULATIONS TO MAJOR
 ELLIOTT.

Congratulations to Major Elliott! He is show ing a lot of the familiar Richardsn- -Steese speed. In fact he has proved himself to be a worthy successor in every respect of the big men who preceded him as President of the Board of Alaska Road Commissioners.
 Major Elliott went to Washington and found that the War Department had recommended an appropriation of S50OOO0 for Alaska roads. He remained there and saw the $500, 900 item carried into the budget He still remained after the House of Representatives passed the Army Appro- priation Bill carrying the $5OO,O00. He con tinued the ground and continued his work of trying to get adequate sum of money for Alaska roads. When the Army Bill went through the Senate it carried $1,000 900 for his Board That was work worthy of a Col. Steese or a Gen RichardsonA And this is not the first time that Major Elliott has shown both speed and tenacity when wrestling with Congress for money foI Alaska He managed to get a substantial in beyond recommendations from the Execu tive Branch last year
 While compromise is likely to result in tho conference committee it is confidently believed that the sS50,000 appropriated last year will b' equalled-perhaps exceeded
 Major Elliott and the other officers of tn, Board of Alaska Road Commissioners have alread! abundantly demonstrated that they know what t do with money when they get it.
 May the good work continue Alaska has n, greater need than more roads.

Prospect of 17-Cent Copper.
lBoston News Bureau. )

The prospect of 17-cent copper is generating good measure of confidence in the 1929 out look for copper mining companies. Not since March, 1923 has the price been at this level Almost six years ago the price of the red metal reached 173s m F cents per pound. The situa- tion today is quite different from that existing in 1923 The industry as a whole is better or ganized and it has had the benefit of valuable experience.
 It was only few months ago that producers were jubilant at price of 15 cents, and exer- csed their every influence to supply the demand so that further price advances would not take place This attitude was based on keeping the industry on a sound basis putting aside the selfish view of larger earnings from higher metal prices Experience had proved that rapid price advances had almost generally resulted in sharp declines, leaving the industry in a weak con- dition
 Domestic shipments of finished copper from North and South American refneres totaed l. 797 142,000 pounds in the first eleven months Iof 1928, against 1,649,6SS,O 900 pounds in the tire twelve months of 1927 Export shipments on the other hand lower in the first eleven months of 1928 than in the full year 1927 at 1,349,096O 900 against 12S3,7 ,000 pounds. The marked increase in domestic shipments during 1928 indicates the potentialities of duplication in export shipments Supplies of refined copper abroad are very small and in need of re- plenishment to normal level.
 Heretofore it has been the domestic demand for the red metal that has forced the upward revisions in the price The latest quarter-cent advance has been brought about by an increased demand from foreign sources. Obviously foreign buyers have concluded that they must go into the market and fill their requirements ana abandon hope of price recession.
 The facts show quite conclusivey that the copper industry after several years of abnormalcy l is again functioning a normal basis-witf good prospects of it's continuation.

Enlarging Markets.
(Prince Rupert News. )

The business people of the united States are foolish to erect tariff wall against Canada because Canada has been the best market for that country and may continue to be so If not dis criminated against. If the people of the States everyday their hand they will cut off this market altogether and thus lose ten million good cus- toners.
 Canada being very large producing coun- try, has money with which to buy goods. She is better off per thousand of population than is the United States. Gradually however, the country has been forced to adopt policy of self-pro- tection, owing to the foolish attitude of the peo- pie to the South Should the presnt U. s. ad- ministraton continue in it's attitude and carry discriminatory tariffs farther, there will have to be repraisas.
 | Canada has been cutivating other markets and will continue to do until eventually trade with United States is reduced to a minimum. Also, Canada will have to refuse absolutely to allow any material to leave the country We cannot sit back and allow discrimination. How all this will end seems difficult to forecast With United States our nearest neighbor and with literature from that country permeating this, the natural thing would have been to establish the very closest trade relations, but that seems i'm possible There is stability in the present situation.

A MOST UNUSUAL PRINCE.

Wars came and peace followed. revolutions swept all over Europe destroying monarchy in every country where lay his dominions, yet It mattered nothing at all to Prince Johann of Lech htensten who passed away Monday at the ripe age of sS years In many respects he was in a class by himself the most unusual Prince in history He maintained all the cost of gov ernment in his prncipality out of his private purse His subjects not taxed at all. He also was lavish entertainer. But his entertaining was only in the of his title and for the maintenance of the status of his domains. for he, though host, rarely present in person at any of his functions. He in fact recleuse, though he was informed always of the minutest details concerning the welfare and happiness of his people So thoroughly he loved and rspected that none of his estates were confscated or molested during the late and the transition of Austria Moraya, Bohemia, etc, where he possessed large holdings, from monarchy to de- mocracy
 An article prepared recently for the Asso- ciated Press about Prince Johann, among other things, said:
 Prince Johann, however, tremely hospitable and had liking for entertaining bright clever, laughter-lov- ing people although seldom ever in their midst when he their host. He frequently invited in turn the former Austrian family, all the Austrian auto cracy and many foreign sovereigns and Princes to great shooting parties on his immense lands in Liechtenstein, Moravia and other parts Of Austria and Bohemia. At his great palace in Vienna he gave fetes that could not be equalled for dis tnguished magnifcence and dreamke luxury, yet for some unexplained the princely host never appeared among his guests those occasions A former attache of the Prince said that guests frequently expressed resentment at this and vowed they would never again, but usually were present on the next occasion.
 It said of Prince Johann that he never tired of doing for his people
 The partial remittance of taxes was granted by one of his predecessors, also named Prince Johann, and the late ruler further frightened the burdens of his peo- pie until, in fact, they had no public burdens to bear. Some time ago his peo- pie asked for constitution and it was granted It provided for the selection of IS Deputies to constitute the Diet all the expenses of which were met by the Prince. He had granted so much to his people that one writer revolving his acts said: Now they have nothing more to desire, except perchance permission to ascend the throne bloc"
