Frank B. Peterson, San Fran cisco, well-known pioneer sal mon packer, is looking and feel ing like a new man these days, according to the Pacific Fisher man. For years MT. Peterson has had trouble with his eyes, resulting from cataracts, and he recently underwent a delicate operation which removed the ail- ment. Now he can easily read with the aid of glasses. The op- eration knocked several years of MT. Peterson's age, for he looks younger and keener than for long time.
 MT. Peterson is president and manager of the Frank B Peter son O., operators, owners and sales agents of the Red Salmon Canning company, which has three plants on Bristol Bay.

What then are the present
chances which have placed the
building industry in this pecu-
liarly significant position? First,
and most important, is the Amer
lean attitude towards buildings as
functional structures, to be used
as long as they serve and to be
scrapped the moment they are
out of date. This attitude is Just
the reverse of old-world thought,
where buildings are supposed to
last forever and are used as long
as they hang together and even
after they begin to fall apart. In
fact, would we travel over Europe
by the thousands II it were not
for her ruins? To be sure we
have our own ruins here but they
endure only between the depart
ures of the last tenant and the
coming of the wreckers.
This means that in America we
have rapid building, ever chang
ing and ever improving methods
of construction and materials.
And in direct proportion to the
rate Of building we have changes
in architectural style.
The SkyScraper. that peculiarly
American product. is essentially
in function, form and structure
without precedent. It is the most
outstanding and conspicuous ex-
ample Of the changed conditions.

changes, and to make the substantial
reductions effective Of the earliest
possible date.
The brief sets forth that the Stand
ard OIL company total sales In North
Dakota In one year amounted to S.
670,008 gallons, and that reductions
In rates as the examiner proposes
should result In large savings to the
users Of gasoline.
Complaint originally was made to
the federal commission by the Stand
ard Oh company, and Public Service
commission Of Wyoming and others
alleging that the carload rates on
gasoline from Wyoming to North Da-
kota and the other states are unreal
sonable and discriminatory in favor
Of shipments from Tulsa. Okla, and
certain southwestern points. The
North Dakota commission filed a Pc
tition on Intervention and took part
In the hearing.
The position taken by the North
Dakota commission was that no in
creases should be made from either
Wyoming or Oklahoma, but that any
Irregularities in the rates should be
cured by reductions on the grounds
that the present rates from both
Wyoming and Oklahoma are excess
sively high and unreasonable.
