Light Company Now Serving
 Big Territory

The territory served by the Alas ka Electric Light and Power Com pany, with power, light and ap- plance facilities, is much larger than is generally appreciated by the public, as it embraces Mendenhall River, Glacier Highway, Juneau, Douglas, Treadwell, Thane and many other suburban points. In speaking of the services rendered by the Light Company" MT. Pull len, General Manager, said: For a public service corporation to rem der this community the dependable power and light electrical current offered them by us would require a capital investment of approximate ly one million five hundred thou sand dollars, and I am not so sure that in face of rising costs of ma terials and labor that final figure would be somewhat higher"

The mar quee and pressed steel cornice trim was manufactured in Juneau in its entirety. It required seven hun- dred and sixty running feet of stain less steel stripping to trim the marquee and this trim matches the stainless steel plate glass window trim perfectly and we consider the ornamental iron work on this building to be the most outstand- ing job in the Territory.

Strickland has perfected that

he scored double and triple bulls

knows how to deliver right cross.

Strickland can punch from any

every opening. It's too bad there

But they must carry some poison,

Of course it is a moot question,
but my opinion is that the boos
were not intended for the New

wouldn't give Strickland two min

Anyway, they didn't give Maurice
any the better of it when they
called the bout a draw. Notwith-
standing the decision, Strickland
did as neat a job of puncturing
Mann as Nathan did month ago
on Gunnar Barlund.
The only respect in which Mann
held the gawky New zealander
even was in the maneuvering for
the exit applause. With the
crowd bowling down the decision,
each fighter was instructed by his
chief second not to leave the ring
until the other had. The result
was that both remained in there

the simple reason that such things

also that the receiver of a kick
