In the first 11 months of 1926 the value of shipments of that commodity was $10,030,095. Furs made the most striking gain of any of the Alaskan pro ducts for the year. The total worth of all shipments was $2,- 076,722, which does not include Ly-mail shipments and fur al pelts from the Pribilof Islands The principal caunse for the in- crease was the opening of cer- tain areas to beaver trapping.

A contract has already been leot for the rockfill and construction is to be started early in fo| spring. i Considerable building has been dofe on Lower Fromt Street i the vicinity of the Juneau Cold Storage plant. A large building has been coustructed by Tom Davein and extensive additions have been made to the Warner Machine Shop and to the Maki Rooming House. The B. M.
