Cease Negotiations
 For New Industry
Work on Prospect Three Month"; Not Willing to Aeeede to Demands
 Beyond Reason

Following three months of strenu- ous effort to locate a new industry in the vacant plant of the Adams Manufacturing Co.,, Chairman A. K. Smith of the New Industries Com mittee of the Chamber of Commerce says that the effort has proved fruit less. The committee, however, has the satisfaction of knowing that all possible has been done.
 The concern. The Advertising Cor poration of American. manufacturers of variety of advertising devices and novelties, sent a representative to Putnam some three months or more ago. The representative was shown various vacant factory sites and was favorably impressed with the Adams plant.
 Negotiations were carried on. Mem bers of the New Industries Commit tee made trips to Providence and New York on seferal occasions. Officials of the Adams Manufacturing Com- pany were besought to make as fa- vorable ferns and concessions as pos sible. They cooperated with the com mittee in a commendable way and made it possible for the committee to offer the prospect an excellent proposi- ton.
 Demands Unreasonable
 It has finally developed that the advertising concerns demands are greater than the committee feels justi fled in aeceding to, even were 1t pos sible to meet these demands. It was not thought feasible to try to float q bond issue of $60,000, nor to grant other requests made by the prospect. 1 As there have been rumors that this new industry might locate here the committee feels that the result of theiI | effort be made known.
 However, the New Industries Com mittee: while disappointed, is not dis ! heartened. 1t is known that Put nam has some excellent floor space te offer new industries seeking locations Every prospect will be worked just as hard as was this advertising con. cern. If the committee is successful ! it will be pleasing; if they are mol they will continue with the work ana exert their best efforts with the as. surance that sooner or later valuable floor space in the city will be taken.

 Since working with the Marxes is one of the ambitions entertained by every chlorine, many came, but few were chosen at the New York studio.
 The fifteen selected worked at the studio in the daytime and on Broad way at night, and comprise a motion picture chorus which would make the glorifer of the American girl weep with envy.

Include a Trip to Alaska.
Seattle Post -Intelligencer.)

This year probably will bring Alaska it's great est tourist season. Early bookings of steamship agencies have taxed accommodations. There is a more extensive inquiry for literature and informa- ton than has been the case heretofore. This fol- lows naturally upon the cumulative effect of ad- vertising Alaskas attractions a summer play ground. So far possible with limited resources, Northern communities have spread the good word, but persistent campaigns of publicity have been sup ported by transportation companies, and these are bearing fruit.
 Every person coming to the Pacific Northwest for recreation this summer should plan, if possible to extend the trip to Alaska. It is vast country which if spread across map of the United States, would cover a large part of our continental area. But tourists should not be appalled, by this mag nitude. Rather they should be invited by its pos abilities of variety and novelty of scene.
 Alaska is connected with Seattle and British Columbia ports by excellent steamship lines offer ing speedy service and the finest accommoda- tions The Yukon and Alaskan interior is pene- trated by three rail lines, connecting with river boats. The Government has made progress in pro- viding motor highways. At every key point will be found hotels eager to dispense every necessity and many of the luxures. Thus the tourist may travel through one of earth's last frontiers with dispatch and comfort
 There is interesting or varied region The highest mountain in North America may be seen from railway coach Earth's greatest glac- ers move rresistiby downward to crash into the
 
 age-old habtats. Indian villages interest the an thropologist and the mere curiosity seeker alike Gold diggings show you how have to work for the metal which has lured adventurers from the times of antiquity Hundreds of miles of coast line are dotted with growing cities salmon traps and canneries and other evidences of mans con- quest Active volcanoes send up their smoke col umns, reminding you that Alaska has powers which man will not challenge
 Visit Alaska this year, starting from Seattle after seeing it's wonderful surroundings. of you live here, you will want to see Alaska anyway. If you are in great hurry planes will pick you up at Seattle airport and put you down in Alaska the same day. Travel up the marveously scenic Inside Passage by steamer. If you have plenty of time and money, visit of Seattles fine boat works, order sizable motor cruiser and pilot your party the delightful and safe waters and through the scenic coast country which con- meet Puget Sound with all that borders the AL askan Gulf
 Here is trip for Americans that will wean them away from tame Europe-the Pacific North west and Alaska. Put this among your 1880 vaca- tion memoranda.

BIGGEST POLL WEARS END.

This week will witness the final tabulation in the Literary Dgests much discussed and sharply de- bated Prohibition Poll. Whatever attitude one may have taken regarding the canvass and the meaning of the respective votes, all must admit that it has struck a popular chord. The ninth report of the count, under date of May IT, showed a total of 45627 761 the largest vote tabulated by the Digest in any poll. The final figures probably will be in excess of five million. This is approximately 15 per cent of the voting population of the coun- try, sufficiently strong to form basis for estmat- ing how the voters a whole feel about the Prohibition problem
 The tabulation gave 1,386216 for enforcement 134044l for modification and 1,836104 for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. Twenty-one States gave pluralities for enforcement two for modified tion and 25 for repeal Five States still give ma jorities for enforcement-five for repeal The former Kansas North Carolina, Arkansas Okla homa and Tennessee while Connecticut, Louisiana Nevada, New Jersey and Rhode Island carry the banner of repeal.
 Drys who have maintained that Prohibition ad- herents have refrained from voting, will find little solace in the poll which shows Kansas vote still climbing and other Dry States continuing to vote dry in about the same percentage indicated in former reports Nor will the special tabulation of defective votes which was carried by The Digest afford them a great deal of comfort. There has been much argument pro and con about where the modification vote should be placed. Drys have argued that it should be combined with enforce ment as both opposed to repeal Vets replied that modification was a vote of protest against the present system and as such should properly be linked with repeal which also represented the demand for change. Earlier in the poll it was suggested that the defective ballots might throw some light on the subject That is, the trend of mind of those who voted for modification might be indicated by determining in what percentage those who had marked their ballots in two places had voted for repeal and enforcement In publishing a list of defective ballots, the Digest announced total of 85.674. Of this number 2,527 voted for enforcement and modification and 83147 for modi- fication and repeal. If, therefore, this indicates the frame of mind of the modificationists the ma 5ority against the present sytsem is large enough to impress even apparently Dry Congress, and to offer encouragement to the forces that work ing for change For instance in North Carolina fective vote balance is sufficiently large to put the Drys in minority. And the same is true of Tennessee. On the other hand, the defective vote in the five Wet States would add to their varying degrees of wetness
 The closing report the poll will come this week. It will be awaited with interest throughout the country. Probably it will not satisfy either and candidates for lawmaking bodies as well as political organizations generally, with material for much pondering during the next few months.

PORT ANGELES JOINS 1O,0OO-CLUB.

Port Angeles Wash, has joined the 10OO0-club, that is the cities in the country having a population of 10000 Preliminary Federal census figures recently gave it tally of 1O052 This is an in- crease of more than ST per cent during the past decade, the count in 1920 being 5351
 The biggest factor in its remarkable growth dur ing the past ten years has been the development of the woodpulp and paper manufacturing industry in Port Angeles It stands today the pulp center of the northwest and with continued expansion in that and allied industries its growth in the next decade should be satisfactory as in the one just closed
 Juneau is the eve of a similar growth in population and from like source Within a short time the beginning of the establishment of pulp and paper manufacturing plants here will be seen By the end of the current decade Juneau's population should not be materially less, if any at all thar that of Port Angeles today.

 There is another and more tragic class. There are many men who never came back because their experiences destroyed their memories. It is this class that most of all needs help in restoration to their homelands and relatives.

Encourage Mining Investments.
Anchorage Times.)

The mines of Alaska need working money It would be unwise to invest in every prospect but there hundreds of legitimate mine enterprises that would repay confidence and industry with golden flood Mining is mans work it takes courage and strength and intelligence But it builds soul well body and purse.
 In the development of the great resources of nature the man who wins has done something far greater than the making of money. He has contributed to the wealth and prosperity of nation without robbing humanity. Wealth from the ground still awaits the man in this great mining district adjacent to Fairbanks, and other Interior camps
