The Front street improvement, a PWA sewer and street project, is rapidly nearing completion under the skilled management of NJ. & Custard. of Custard, Meadows, Oja and Co.,. who were awarded the coz tract
 Work was begun the latter part of March and from the first pro cseded with admirable dispatch and precision. The old board planking was ripped up for the rock fill and at present approximately 5000 cul lc wards of gravel have been usad Two-thirds of the sewer system is completed with services to each It both sides of the street. The water main is practically completed but services are not yet installed.
 According to the contract speci- fications Mir. Custard needed t." keep the street clear for the fire truck only, but he has managed 70 keep it open for ali traffic, both pedestrian and auto, although 1t was his privilege to have closed the street when construction started.
 Highest Quality Material
 The sewer system which replaces the old wooden boxes, is vitrified clay sewer pipe of the highest qual- ity. For tbe water system the con- tract specified a steel pipe spirally electrically welded and dipped in pe.rolastic bItuminous compound and wrapped with composition of mica and asbestos. This is widely used in municipal waterworks where only the best materials are considered.
 After the fill is completed, which will be within a few days, the street will be traffic packed for month during which time MT. Gus tard will construct dry masonry rock retaining wall which will fur nish suitable protection against the wave action of westerly squalls.
 Surfacing Under Advisement

will be substituted Two methods of hard top surfaeing are HOW un- der adyisement, one. an emulsified asphalt which is finding increasing favor for highway surfacing in the states, is a crushed rock bound with a thin film of asphalt. This is the type of surfacing used on the Bay shore highway out of San Francisco Laid originally with concrete, it was replaced by emuisified asphalt surfacing and has proved eminent ly sati sactory there as elsewhere.
 The second method under advise ment for Wrangelfs new street. is rock road bound by lignin, a by product of paper pulp mills recent ly discovered to be of great value in binding gravel into hard top surface
 While the change in surfacing is subject to approval by the Town council, the PWA and funds avail able. the outlook is promising that much better surface will be laid than the specifications provided
 Street Strengthened
 As a part of Front street inn provement. -Paten- aude building in which are located Jacobsons Curio Store the Smart Shoppe and Arts Barber shop, tho Star Cigar Store building owned rv Thomas Dalgity and the Marshall building were cut off from five to twelve feet in front in order to straighten the street. The town a. warded contracts 10 Iver Axberg on bids for the Dalgity and McCor- -Patenaude buildings, but the work was done by day labor on the Marshall building Incidentallv with the new front on the lat ter building, one of Wrangells old land marks has been eliminated.
 The building was erected as saloon during the gold rush days of 1898. and never since that time has a coat of paint been applied so that high on the front the words The Midway" have remained, weather beaten and dimmed, but still plainly discernible and of up- failing interest, for some reason, to. tourists

Cheap Salmon Threat
 To Alaska Industry

The danger to the Alaska salmon industry and to Alaska itself from foreign competition and from cheap domestic varieties of fish was point ed out recently by J. N. Gilbert president of Alaska Pacific Sal mon Company.
 Alaska canners m Il compete not only against the low prices of Japanese and Russian salmon, but against canned fish produced from fish caught in the waters off the southern coast of the United States and for which the fishermen receiv- ed last year about F C per pound as compared with an average price per pound for pink salmon in Alas ka over three times as great" Mir Gilbert said "There is only one sound way of meeting this outside competition and protecting ou home industry, and that is by eX- tending our markets.
 Tt is this function, vital to the very life of the industry and to the welfare of thousands of families in Alaska whose livelihood depends on wages from the salmon industry, which the industry is undertaking at the present time through a con- tinent-wide advertising program. This campaign, presenting the high food values and many uses for caE- ned salmon to the widest possible audience, tends to steady prices, to prevent disastrous breaks, to stabil- ize the industry through the Ter ritory.
 "The salmon industry in the Pac- fife Northwest gives employment to from 25,00O to 30.000 people. The bulk of it's earnings goes into labor. supplies, transportation. and sery- ices on the Pacific Coast. The in ,dustry is the chief support e' 70 Alaska industries like logging, ami mill operatiOnn. ship ar d s, ccel mines, etc.
 Prom six to nine million dollars goes for wages alone. An even larger amount goes for raw fish, boats, gear, and other fishing ey- pense. The salmon industry is Alaska s heaviest taxpayer. Be- cause it is subject to regulations of the Bureau of Fisheries, Food and Drug Administration, and others, the expense of doing business in Alaska is very high. Safety for the industry and for the wage-earners lies in building a market for Alaska salmon-a market which will grow so consistently and steadily that the industry can afford to maintain. it's extensive operations through the Territory l believe that the citi- zens of Alaska will realize this fact and extend their full cooperation tn the industry which provides the most important single source of rev enue to the residents of the Terri tory"
