B. Behrends, a local jeweler of
Juneau, recently returned after an
extended business trip to the States, j
He stated that while in Seattle he
found many of the residents there
who had recently resided in Alaska, i
preparing to return and resume their
activities. He predicts that there
will be no labor shortage in Alaska
because the majority of Alaskans are j
going to return.
W. T. Tolsch, of Thane, recently
made a speech to the foreigners em
ployed there in which he urged them
to consider the benefits that had j
accrued to them from the domo- j
cratic country, the equal chances
given them, the education chances
and the advantages their children
have for study and advancement.
The Killisnoo plant will save all

trict. Helen Moulton is serving a
jail sentence for selling whiskey.
She was fined $300 but refused to

Mrs. Norton, who was found with

was also placed under arrest.
Equipped with a new elevator for
carrying the clams from the tug1 oat
to the plant, and wii-h other new
machinery installed, the Pioneer can
neery, of Cordova, the largi" clam
canning factory in the world, started
its spring operations early in April
The starting up of vhe cannery gives
employment at good wages to more
than 200 people, and booms the busi
ness of “the best town in Alaska,”
according to the Cordova Times.
James Rolfe, Jr., coal dealer, ship
owner and mayor of San Francisco,

MUD AID
FOR ROAD WORK
Residents of Nearby District Appeal
to Interior Department for
Relief.
Believing that the surest and
speediest way to get government aid
for road construction into new dis
tricts is to appeal directly to all
departments exercising authority for
and interested in any way in road
matters. John C Murphy has ad
dressed letters and sent petitions ;o
the interior department, the gover
nor of Alaska, the Alaska territorial
road board and others, seeking road
aids for the relief cf the mining
men of the BonnifieH district. And
it is his intention to continue to
sending letters to those in authority
until assurance is given that the road
needs of the Bonnifield will receive
| attention.
The Bonnifield is one of several
promising districts north of Broad
Pass, which can be opened to devel
opment on a large scale as soon as
improved transportation facilities are
made available. A road, such as has
been urged by Mr. Murphy and the
miners of the Bonnifield, would
serve as a feeder to the government
railroad, creating business for the
government and materially lessening
the cost of provisions and mining
machinery to those who are trying
to develop the nearby' district.
These points have been made clear
in the letters written by Mr. Murphy,
and while no assurance has been
given that the request for a road
will be granted immediately, those in
authority have been made aw^re of
the importance of road construction,
and further similar campaigning, it is
believed will eventually get results.
The last mail from the Outside
brought the following letter to Mr.
Murphy, showing that the road mat
ter has ben placed in the hands of
the war department, for the consider
ation of the Alaska Road commission.
