A new organiation called the “Civic
League” has been formed at Ketchi
kan. The purpose of the organization
is to see that the laws are enforced.
P. Jorgenson, city councilman at
Petersburg, has resigned. He claims
that press of private business pre
vents him from holding the job any
longer.
It is interesting to note that the
exports far exceed the imports of
Alaska. The balance of trade in
favor of the territory is about $30,
000,000 per annum.
Anchorage citizens have organied a
cemetery association, the object being
to take over the management of the
cemetery from the Alaskan engineer
ing commission.

part of this month. Mr. Fitzgerald

time and burned out some of the
telegraph line, interrupting service
at times.

Alaska region have been met and
overcome by the successful establish
ment of paper mills in nearby British
Columbia.
Another gold dredge has been
added to the fleet operating in the
Yukon. The new one is operated by
the L. H. Titus Dredging Company
and is working on Highet creek in
the Mayo district.
A shipment of 50,000 feet of clear
spruce lumber was recently made by

pleting arrangements for communica
tion with Cordova, Pearl Harbor in
the Hawaiian islands and San Fran

will break the world’s record for radio
performance. *

independent transportation condi
tions.

loads, he explained, and as the gov
ernment line is not operating for rev
enue, they were lowered to within 25
per cent of the carload rate.
