This year. the business VIII con- thue to grow both in v1rums and value.
 Lumberina and Building
 The Juneau Lumber Mills, which led the- Territory in cut last year, will have another splendid season in, 1929, t was predicted. It is widening it's market and the homo market Is becoming larger all the lime. II has built up fino trade among the salmon canneEs for box shocks that keeps it's box Factory busy all season.
 Loggers too, MT. Bshrends said, will have a good year. There is good demand for piling and other trap timbers, and for lags for the sawmills which will ksap the loggefs busy all year.
 Local building will be at least as good, plobs5ly better th.5 year than in 1928, he said. Construction of the Territorial capitol buiiaing will be started. This struatare completed will cost $750,0O0 and it's construction Will be a factor in the current business prosperity.
 There is sure to be at leazs a normal amount e2 residence con- atauction and probably some buei- hess baid.ng. Juneau is becoming more aad more town sf h5mss, MT Bsarends said There is an ever increasing number of people buying real estate and building their homes.
 Faith In Community
 Not only are they evideneing their faith in the community in tAis manner, but they are invest Ing their savings in local enter prises, buying Si.oeks and bonds of local corporations such as the cold storage and saw mill Let me tell you a true story, enc of tao best l have heard,g MT. Behrends said. "A man of some means some- time ago decided to go to the States and invest some money in property or business. Not long ago he returned to Juneau with out having made any investmert. Not only that, the first thing he did after getting back was to go into a local store and purchase pair of shoes. He actually needed them before he left the States, but he deciled Juneau was good enough for him to live in and spend his money in.
 That is the spirit that is get ting more common in this town. And it is the sort of spirit that makes for permanancy, for real, live, prosperous communities, he said.

 Pulp Timber Surveys
 Intensive investigations of the timber areas and water power sites to be used in connection With the two large paper manufacturing projects planned for Southeastern Alaska were started early in 1928 and continued throughout the field season. The concern interested in the project at Juneau had a party of engineers in the field at Speel River making careful sur veys ani studying the best meth ods of development of the water powers located there, while it's timber cruisers covered the exten- siye pulpwood forests on the west side of Admiralty Island between Hawk Inlet and Point Gardner.
 "It is conservaSively estimated that this concern has expended $100,000 On power and tim CT studies Tn this locality during the past one and one-half years.
 "In addition to these private in- yestigati3ns the Forest Service had cruising party working during the past year in the Admiralty Is land pulptimber area mentioned above, and the Public Survey office with three parties under the di- rection of E. c. Guerin. covered large sections of it with subdivis ional land surveys.
 Outlook Is Good
 'tThe prospects for 1929 in the timber industry of Southeastern Alaska are excellent; in fact ac tivities along this line s h ould equal and perhaps will exceed those of any previous year The salmon canning industry having. 1au all DdAo tduu4nS euCCtoSlu1 SEd- son in 1928 is in good financial condition and is prepared for very extensive operations for the com ing year which will require largo quantities of boxes, fish trap pik ing and lumber; The Alaska Rail- road is calling for tenders on 75,- 900 hemlock ties for delivery this season; apparently some of the local sawnlills are now going to succeed i.1 breaking into the wood len box market of the States; build ing construction, especially in Ju- neau and along the Glacier High way, bids fair to be active; and most important of all the indus- tiies and the residents of Alaska are turning more and more every Iyear to local lumber products in preference to purchasing such ma terial il the states"

last night that he believed the sent

Mr.. Tillotson proposes that the
state build all designated state high
way from an independent and ade-
quate fund derived from sources cal
culated to distribute the burden fair
ly. He would make the gasoline tax
four instead Of tive cents and would
change the distribution Of registra-

tain everything up to $4,000 and rs
per cent Of the remainder, no coun-
ty, however, TO receive more than
100000 a year. This would apply
to all vehicles except common car

all freight trucks common carriers,
and provide a gross receipts tax on
such vehicles.
