could negotiate it. So the company
and staff accompanied by pack-anim-
ais, started riding up toward the 5000
foot elevation.

A TOAST TO KING SALMON

What with the maritime strike it may not be an industry, but as could foretell the shipping difficulties when the Canned Salmon campaign was inaugurated the program goes along scheduled
 This week Juneau is paying it's compliment to the great canned salmon industry. Under the sponsorship of the 40 and of the American Legion the week has been set aside in Juneau Canned Salmon Week. Merchants making significant displays in their show windows; Juneau housewives making of salmon in many of their dishes
 It is the communitys toast to the industry which last packed 00OO0 of salmon the largest on record, and paid large sums of money to Alaskans and others in wages and for supplies The year before it was more than 50OO00O cases and in 1884 virtually 7,5000O0
 The value of the pack this past can be esti mated at around S40000000.
 In addition to the employment market, the canned salmon industry furnishes work to Alaska directly through the employment of fishermen and cannery workers and indirectly through logging and labor for trap operations The salmon industry pays remarkably high percentage of the Territorial running high 80 percent, and estimated as TO percent for the 1935-37 biennium
 The canned salmon business is large, progressing business It has suffered along with all other busi during the depression years however like others it working itself out and among other progressive moves is engaging in a nation-wid advertising campaign which should do much to increase the sumption of salmon throughout the country and to stabilize the canned salmon market.

other supplies despite the shutdown of shipping brought about by the maritime strike.
 Seattles interest in Alaska is always keen, and it is gratifying to learn that the first relief ship will sail from this port today when the Boxer loaded and manned by arrangements between the government and the striking longshoremen and leaves for Northern waters.
 Whatever the merits of the maritime controversy may be, the people of Alaska have no responsibility for the paralysis of shipping which has not only affected their business adversely, but has actually threatened their food supplies
 Until regular operation of shipping is resumed, the responsibility for providing necessities to the people of the Northern Territory rests jointly upon the Federal government and the workers on strike. Any breakdown of. this arrangement would be intoerabe.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1886
 If the stars are rightly interpre- ted this should be one of the most favorable days on the calendar of the closing year Benefic aspects rule without anxious interference from adverse influences, according to astrology.
 Buoyancy of spirit should be whispered as the mental vision clears of the despondency caused by the recent depression. Faith and confidence rule under this sway.
 This is an suspicious day for en- tering into agreements or contracts for the new year. For many em- ployees rise is salary is forecast.
 The seers who prognosticate busy months for the United States warn that habits of sloth and irrespon- sibility in the future will result in lasting poverty which will not be pleasantly relieved.
 This is a happy wedding day, for Venus smiles on love affairs and seems to promise happiness for all who enter into life partnership that ignores divorce possibilities.
 Theatres have the prospect of a profitable holiday season and one or two new stage plays will attain extraordinary popularity.
 The seers foretell for actors and actresses a year of supreme suc- cess. Motion pictures are to at tain unusual artistry and to bene- fit through important changes in daily programs.
 For both the oldest and the youngest film star there will be achievement that outstrips former records, it is prophesied,
 Persons whose L> >thdate it is have the augury of a year of rare good luck. Sudden gains in income will be enjoyed by many. Children born on this day may have varied talents that combine artistry with practical aims. Sub- jects of this sign gain fame through their own hard work.

Then, the Millennium
(NeW York World-Telegraml

(New York Word-Telegram)
 Much fanfare comes when dedication time arrives for marvellous creation like the San Francisco Oakland Bridge Most of the limelight on such an occasion seems to go to the politicians who cut the ribbons perform such other symbolic gestures as are appropriate for such events Too much attention, in fact to the politicians and not enough to the men who designed and built the massive thing to which modern human life entrusts itself with such matter of-course assurance the thing which if it were not safe would be a menace.
 Fortunately for all of us who bridges and skyscrapers and other engineering achievements the safety factor is there to the point of complete per lection And unfortunately that factor is missing in the political engineering" with which our social structure is erected
 It is not pleasant to think about riding 2 bridge or going up an office building the struction of which had gone single which list of political mistakes made in the recent campaign.
 Imagine being a windy day on the eightieth story of an Empire State Building that had been built by an engineer whose skill greater than that o1 the political expert who devised the dog tag social security yarn as his contribution to the framework upon which to rest government.
 Or conceive of treading the span of the Golden Gate Bridge 220 feet above the water, suspension which for than 4000 feet defes all the forces Of gravity and all the weight above-of doing that if the structure embodes as many mistakes made daily by the average office holder
 When social and political and economic "engin- eering approaches the perfection which civil engin eering has attained then indeed, will be near the millennium.
