 Enough orders for all products are now on hand to insure three months activities at least, and be- fore present bookings of work are filled, others, which will prolong the running period, are expected to be received. Present demand is chiefly for box shocks and lumber from canneries in Southeast AL aska with some requests from Westward parts of the Territory.
 Logging Activities to Expand
 Besides the direct stimulus to the labor market that will result from the opening of the mills additional benefit will result to the employment situation by reason of enlarged logging activi- ties The bulk of the logs for the mills will be supplied by the Ju- neau Logging Company which will get most of them from it's camp at Port Camden, near Rake. About l 000,000 feet of logs are on Cas- tineau Channel ready for saws.
 The heads of the operating force of Mills will be about the same this season as in former seasons of recent years.
 Heads of Operations Force
 Roy Rutherford, President, will be manager; J. A. Davis, office manager and accountant; F. E. McDermott, sales manager; R. A. Simmons, superintendent; Joseph Smith, yard boss; Alvin Anderson, foreman of the box factory; An drew Erickson, planer foreman.
 The mills under their present OISdiilIdtlUIl lldfC DCtl OpCl dtilies since 1927. They had run prev iously for several years under a similar name. They were known as the Worthen Mills before that. MT. Rutherford has been connect ed with the Mills since 1919.
 The company's equipment is the best and most comprehensive in its history. This season the new $35 GOO power plant, which it across Front Street from the old power plant, will be put to use. Fires were started under it's boil CTS today.
 The Mills now are in position to supply lumber of standard kinds in any dimensions, and deliveries can be made on shorter notice than ever before.

 The plan, which MT. Morgan said has already raised and by which more than s18,OO0,O0O has been distributed, has proved the only effective way of raising funds and at the same time distributing them properly

TO BONE DRY LAW
 IS INTRODUCED
Wickersham Would Reduce Penalties to Conform
 to National Act

An amendment to the Alaska Bone Dry Law, to lessen the se- verity of penalties for minor Pro- hibition violations has just been introduced in the lower branch of Congress by Delegate Wickersham according to an Associated Press despatch received by The Empire.
 The measure seeks to amend the local act so as to provide for the same penalties under it as are con- tained under the National Pro- hibition Law. Judge Wickersham, in introducing it, pointed out that Alaska was made dry before Na- tional prohibition became effec- tive, and the penalties under the Alaska Bone Dry Law are too se- we're.
 It is believed here that this bill is designated to meet objections raised by Bishop James Cannon, Jr., and other Prohibition leaders to the repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry Law, which was sought in an earlier measure introduced by the Delegate. The latter bill has had several hearings and Judge Wick ersham recently announced a ma jority of the committee was op- posed to it's passage.
