$2,670,842,437-total trade
 and we have the total sum of Alas ka's past trade value with United States merchants and manufacturers since 1867-more than two and n half billion dollars! A huge sum to have been won by few thousand pioneers from an inhospitable wilderness in the first half century of trade with the mother country. It is, however, but mere trickle to the great stream of wealth which will flow into the markets of the United States from Alaska when our natural re- sources shall be more fully located and developed by an increasing num- Der of our people who will follow hs into the Northern Territory, armed with better trade facilities and aided by wiser and more generods govern ment.
 Odr seas are filled with fish, ohr contains with minerals, our coastal islands with forests awaiting the coming pulp makers, our interior val leys with unsettled agricultural lands equal in area and productivity to those of Scandinavia. Our people are brave and hardy, filled with loyalty to American ideals and love for con- st1tutional government, and in time will adopt state constitution and Se- cure the admission of the State of Alaaka into the Union of the United States. We hail the completion of this beautiful Capitol, and the prom lse of higher development in Amer ican government and trade in our vhosen omeland-Alaska.

The Kusko times., 1931-03-14

Whatever criticism visiting Con ..ressional conn ittees may make with regard to the development of Alaska, Xe who have resided here for many years and given fair attention to the changes in our government and the general increase in our natural wealth have clearly observed the con-
 tant, if slow, growth in both. The Organic Act of August 12, 1924, se- cured by the people of our Territory after long travail, provided CD that he former unorganiZed region pur- :tased by the United States from Russia, by the Treaty of March 30, !Ss7, ::and known as Alaska, shall 9e and constitute the Territory of Alaska; CD that the capital of the Territory shall be at the city of Ju-
 -au, and the seat of government .srall be maintained there"; (3) it ccreatad an elective form of Telrito- rail Legislature wit hextensive pow CTS of local self government, and {4} paved the woy for this evenings ded- ication of the Capitol of Alaska. These successful labors of our citi- zens constitute real and permanent growth in good government, under
 he most adverse circumstances, and icmonstrate that they are not dor fnant, but are ever active in pressing
 or better government in the way our
 athers trod, in accordance with the
 Jrinciples of the Declaration of Inde-
 endence and the Constitution of the
 tilted States. Nine sessions of the Aaska Legislature have met in the
 9itol City, and conducted public 11siness in rented halls. The tenth session will meet on the first Monday
 March in the permanent legisla-
 lNe halls provided in this Capitol
 building. That is real Alaska pro-
 'ress after the true American type.
 In recent years Congress entered
 lp0n limited system of internal inn
 provements in Alaska in aid of the development of territorial govern Snent and the natural resources of the country. It authorized the con- sideration of a government t-owned and operated railroad from an all they, ar-open harbor at Seward, through the Matanuska and Healy tRiver coal fields to the Fairbanks gold fields, at a cost of S70,00O,O ,OO0. Recently the Secretary of the Treas ury caused plans and estimates to be made and set apart the funds neces- sary to construct general-use build ing at Fairbanks, authorized by the Public Building Act of August 1, 1914 (33 Stat. l.. 611), to cost S4OO,- 0C0. The War Department will spend this year for Alaska harbor improve ments, $272,000 for the Ketchikan basin, S85,000 for the Seward break water, and S18,00O for the Port Alex ander harbor work, while the i'm prpvements of the Nome harbor, to

Novel Timber Bridge
Saves Carolina Road

Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 19.-Timbers
placed atop untreated pine piles saved
the day along a two-and-a-half-m mile
stretch of swampy North Carolina
land where the concrete road had sunk
SO far as to be impossible. The novel
timber bridging was constructed d.
rectly over the old roadway, accord
ing to a report in the Engineering
News-Record by W. L. Craven, bridge
engineer of the North Carolina State
Highway Commission.
Spaced ten feet apart, the piles were
driven deep into the oozy mud in lines
on both sides of the old road bed.
Caps made of concrete encased the
tops Of the piles in order to provide a
firm basis for the timber decking. A
layer of asphaltic covered this
decking of the emergency road. While
the piles were being driven it was
still possible to leave a minimum of
thirteen feet of the old road open to
traffic.

JUROR MUST SERVE!

Discussed Murder Trial
After Being Warned
Not To By Trial Judge.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 19.-The
supreme court affirmed the sentence
of ]. T. Babb of Greenville, sentenced
to 80 days in the Greenville county jail
by Judge w. H. Townsend for con-
tempt of court while Babb was serv-
ing as a juror in the case of J. Har-
mon Moore, on trial for murder in the
death of Sheriff Sam D. Willis of
Greenville county.
Judge Townsend sentenced Babb
when he found the latter guilty of
talking about the case while serving
as a juror and absent from the court
room during the night. The court had
instructed jurors the case was not to
be discussed.
The opinion, concurred in by all
justices, read in part:
-. in passing sentence upon the
exceptions we do not consider it neces-
sary to state the questions raised but
deem it sufficient to state that after
careful consideration of. the entire
record in the case it is our opinion that
the record fully supports the finding,

and the sentence imposed. 80"

Girls Masquerade AS
Man Is Discovered

High Point, Aug. 19.-A golden
haired lass of nineteen, clothed in the
garments of a man and carrying her
worldly possessions wrapped in a black
oilcloth sack, who arrived in this city
aboard a packing truck and was
promptly detained by the local welfare
department pending communication
with her people to determine whether
they wished her returned, has ex-
pressed her determination not to 90
back to her home, but to get work in
a local mill and make sufficient money
to pay her way through business
school and put herself in a secretarial
position.
The girl, Rosa Johnson, is reported
to be showing considerable intelli-
gence, speaks very correctly and has
changed her boyish garb for a neat
dress. She speaks bitterly of her home.
She says that she had to leave school
in the eighth grade to take care of an
i'll mother and that subsequently she
went to work and paid the way of her
two sisters through high school. Now
she wants to complete her education
and says that she finds her family un-
willing to help her.
I'D have got by if I'd have had
my hair cut" she declared in lament
ing that her effort to pose as a man
had been successful. She believes that
women find it more difficult to obtain
jobs than do men, and a job, she de-
clares, is what she wants and needs
most now.
