WORKS FOR SETTLERS,
 ALASKA ROAD
Seattle Chamber Cooper ates with Ohlson
 for Settlers

In addition to It's general work for Alaska this year the Seattle Chamber of Commerce is making major propositions out of the ques- tion of getting settlers for Alaska and in forwarding the proposition for an international highway con- meeting Fairbanks and the Alaska road system with Seattle and the road systems of the United States and Canada, according to Charles D. Garfield, manager of the Alaska Department of the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce, who arrived in Juneau yesterday on the Dorothy Alexander and will remain here until the sailing of the Alaska for the Westward tomorrow.
 Satisfactory progress has been made on both propositions, accord ing to MT. Garfield. In the land settlement matter the Seattle or ganization is cooperating with Col. To. F. Ohlson, head of the Alaska RalIrOdQ, dIlu Illt llVClloi DOPNA0 ment It is not proposed to try to get people to come into Alaska faster than they and their products can be absorbed by the Territory.
 The interest that has been arous- ed in the proposed international highway through British Columbia and Alaska is already widespread, said MT. Garfield. It is being en- dorsed by both American and Can adian officials and commercial and other organizations. Chambers of Commerce, commercial organiza- tions, automobile and good roads associations are working for it. It is the purpose to make an organ ized campaign toward the fulfill ment of the plans, and MT. Gar field believes that such road VII be in use within five years.
 MT. Garfield will visit Fairbanks and all points between Juneal
 and Fairbanks before returning here in about two weeks.

MEMORIAL TO
 PACK ANIMALS IS DEDICATED
Distinguished C ath e ing Pays Tribute to Stam-
 pede Horses, Mules

At Inspiration Polnt, probably the most inspiring point on the scenic White Pass railway, overlooking Deadhorse Gulch, was dedicated Saturday a tablet in memory of three thousand horses and mules that lost their lives on the White Pass trail in 1897-8. The tablet overlooks Deadhorse gulch which leads from the summit of the pass down into the Skagway River val ley, which, in places, was almost filled with the dead bodies of horses and mules in the days of the Klondike stampede. The dedicatory ceremonies were witnessed by about 200 persons, including citizens of Skagway, Whitehorse, Carcross and Dawson and members of the Unl- versity Commercial Club of Seat tie, and other distinguished per- sons.
 The dedicatory address was de- livered by Charles D. Garfield, plo- neer Alaskan but for seven years in charge of the Alaska Department of the Seattle Chamber of Com merce, Jefferson Myers, Unite d States Shipping Board Commits sioner, and Roy Rosenthal, execu- tive Secretary of the University Commercial Club, also m d speeches.
 The tablet, a picture of which appeared in The Empire Saturday was designed and executed by James A. Wehn, Seattle sculptor and designer, and the inscription was written by Jack Newman Skagway pioneer and head-packeI for J. H. Brooks, who operated the largest packing outfit on the White Pass in 1897-3 MT. Newman also advised the sculptor in the design of the tablet, which represented a packed horse and packed mule on the trail.
 The pedestal for the table wa; donated and erected by the White Pass railway.
 Among those who attended tht dedication were President Herbert Wheeler, of the White Pass, Super. intendent V. I. Hahn, Chief Clerl w. 0. Blanchard, General Passen ger Agent J. G.

 Worthy Tribute
 Gov. Parks said the memorial was worthy tribute to the un- complaining partners in the his toric stampede" He continued
 Those who conceived the plan and the pioneers who contributed to the memorial are to be con- graduated. It is an appropriate tribute to the pack animals that made it possible for the pioneers to develop the resources of the Yu- kon."
 Packer Speaks For The Past
 Packer Jack Newman, speaking for those who went through the trying days on the White Pass dur ing the great stampede, said:
 q am there in sadded spirit Again I hear the cursing, forward pushing men. As you know, l was no argonaut. I was a packer ano passed back and forth over the pass not less than fifty times ir the two years I was packing, anc now, as I write, the scenes of the old times come across my vision I seem to hear the hills re-echC with the sound of the gold-crazee men after thirty years"

nature and is now law.
The city of Little Rock had already
engaged John Nolen, Cambridge,
Mass, to undertake comprehensive
survey and make a city plan for
Little Rock. However, had the
enabling act not been passed by the
State legislature, there would have
been a delay of two years time until
the proposed civic improvements
could be under way. Arkansas
realtors, who. through their State
association, have asked in every
community in the state for the
initiation of a program OF public
education as to the need for proper
planning and execution of civic i'm
provement programs, were unwilling
to wait two years until work on
starting the city planning project In
Little Rock would be undertaken,
and have. therefore, been active in
securing the passage Of the bill.

Hughes, jr., and his wife, Ida
Hughes, said to be coIored, from
occupying premises they had pur.
chased from James 7. Mcmahon,
was dismissed In Equity Court
yesterday.
The plaintiffs sued on the ground
that transfer of the property to a
colored person was IN violation Of
covenant in the original deed
and that occupancy by a colored
person would depreciate the value
OF adjoining property.
The reason for dismissal Of the
action, according to Attorney Henry
Gilligan, who represented the plain.
tiffs, was that the property had
been decided back to the white
owners and there was no occasion
to proceed with the application.
The plaintiffs are Gertrude z. Ian.

Labor Continues Fight
For 5-DaY Work Week

Despite slowing up OF building
construction, labor interests con-
tinue to emphasize the desire for a
fiye-day week.
Considerable controversy has
arisen in New York regarding the
shorter work week, with the State
Supreme Court issuing an order to
show cause why a restraining order
should not be granted to prevent
the enforcement Of the five.day
week in the electrical trades.
The five-day week and 10 per

viously become effective.
The outcome of this continued
controversy will be watched as es.
