The principal work will be widening the street to 40 feet. As there is apparently little hope that the Federal government can| take any improving Dry Pass on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, the Chamber today initiated a move-| ment to have some improvement done by private interests, including saw mill companies, logging con- tractors, canneries and tow boat operators. The channel, it was pointed out by C. T. Gardner,| Chairman of the local industries| committee, is used for towing logs, by small bail boats, cannery ten- ders, etc., but owing to shallow water and large boulders, at high tides, boats cannot navigate the passage. He estimated that $4,000 would be needed to make it available at any high tide. The Juneau Lumber Mills, he said, would start the fund with a $250 contribution. The Chamber | is taking up the matter with other {chambers in the district and asking their co-operation. Many Visitors Present Many visitors attended today's meeting, being introduced by R. E. Robertson, acting President in the absence of H. G. Watson. A. B. Hayes, manager of the Alaska Di- visign, and Pilot R. E. Ellis of the Alaska-Washington Airways, were special guests. Safe, speedy and de- pendable transportation is assured by the company, they declared. “You have a wonderful country in which to fly and we have a won- derful ship—the Taku—with which to fly,” declared Ellis. R. D. Baker, Alaska manager for the Standard Oil, who accompanied Martin Jorgenson, local manager, said he hoped to spend a good deal of time in Juneau this year, as hel liked the town and its people. R. A. Zeller, Supervisor of Ton- gass National Forest, complimented the Chamber on its progressiveness, and mentioned the civic improve- ments that have been made in the city during the past few years. Other guests included: E. F. Fitz- water, President of the Guardian Building & Loan Association, Port- land, A. J. Nelson, Southeast Alas- ka manager, and William T. Mur- ray, Anchorage, western manager or the same company, and H. Y. Baird, representing Burroughs Add- ing Machine Company, and C. J. McGregor, U. S. Weather Bureau. Is Agreeably Surprised ! Mr. Fitzwater, who is making his first trip to Alaska, said he was agreeably surprised with the cli- mate here which was very similar to that of Portland. He was, also, astonished to find such thriving and progressive towns as he had en- countered in Southeast Alaska. In Alaska’s vast undeveloped re- sources, he said, there was a pros- perous future. Timber, he added, was the most noticeable undevelop- ed resource. With development ne did not see how the Territory could help but go ahead. Both Mr. Nelson and Mr. Murray spoke briefly. The latter extended greetings from the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce.

It is planned to establish 35 t8 10 air reporting stations in north- ern, eastern and western Alaska, he added. This will give a cover- age to virtually all of the routes over which planes now operate. M. L. Merritt, returning recently from a visit to Washington, said it was his first visit east of the Mis- sissippl River in 25 years. He noted many changes, the most notable in the national capital where many beautiful Government buildings have been erected. “I came away MURRAY, Ky. — When Merle Snow, co-ed at Murray Teachers college, receives her degree in May she will have traveled 36,000 miles during her college career.
