Hotel for George Bros. jed {sons from great to Saint Teresa has just been completed, it was announced today by Rev. William G. LaVasseur, 8. J., Chancellor of the Vicarite of Alaska. The work was done by volunteer labor from the local Federal jail, under the supervision | of Guard W. Reed Seivers, | The causeway gives the island | direct motor car connection with Glacier Highway, as a short stub road was also built between the Highway and the causeway which is constructed of rock. Veices His Appreciation voicing United States Marshal Albert White whose courtesy and co-operation made the work possible, Father LeVasseur, to whom credit for the ine project is largely due, said: “The important work perform- in building the causeway will also be appreciated by the public spirited citizens of Juneau who are interested in the development | of the shrine, as they recognize its civic value, and realize that with a nationally known shrine such as In ithe Shrine of Saint Teresa is des- tined soon to be, Juneau attains an. eminence and distinction shared in by few American cities.” In speaking further of the shrine to a representative of The Empire, Father LeVasseur stated that “it is a spiritual movement to"foster devotion to Saint Terese, and that it also has a great civic appeal and value. Visitors to Eur- ope and Quebec know the great interest that centers in shrines and a city fortunate enough tohave a shrine has an attraction that acts as a maget in drawing per- distances.” First Shrine in Alasta this is the first shrine In aska, and Juneau, the Capital has been ¢ ted as its lo- cation, it is of interest and great importance to the city. Tourists who have seen the site have bcen delighted with the ideal location, and persons who have traveled extensively in the United States and Europe have declared it won- derfully well adapted for the pur- pose intended. Only three other shrines of na- tion-wide renown are in the Unit- ed States, the Sanctuary of Our Sorrowed Mother, under direction of the Servite Fathers in Portland, Ore., the Shrine of American Mar- tyrs, Auriesville, N, Y., established to commemorate the martyrdom of the Jesuit priests murdered by the Mohawk Indians in early Col- onial days, and the shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Wash- ington, D. C. Following a custom of increasing popularity in the States, annual retreats will be held there at dif- ferent times for priests and sis- ters of the Vicarate of Alaska, and also at separate dates for men and women of the Territory. Formal Dedication Next Spring The official dedication will be held in the early spring when the building program is nearer comple- tion. Visitors to the grounds this summer have been surprised at the progress made. A year ago the tract was covered with trees and was in an undeveloped condi- tion. Since then a road has been gravelled from the highway to the grounds, beautiful little shrine | island has been made accessible at both high and low tides by the completion of the causeway, and the retreat house partially completed.

It is counting on the Fall fish- ing season to be of material bene- fit to the local fisherman as well as to the salmon packers. While Hyder is still sufféring from the decline in the silver min- ing industry, an announcement, made while the officials were there, that the Big Missouri will resume immediately its development pro- gram, has checred the entire com- munity. This new work will do much to relieve unemployment. West Coast Better Conditions on the west coast from Craig to Sitka are better as the result of a more generally profitable fishing season. Can- neries on the west coast purchased (all local seine fish offered at prices above those of 1932. The administration of Commis- sioner Bell has won general ap- proval there, as in the other dis- tricts and is expected to be even more beneficial next year, due to the knowledge he has gained in the first season’s experience. At Sitka, the cold storage is filled with fish and trollers out of that port were said fo have had a prosperous season. A large number of small houses are being along the highway out of the town. Prince Rupert Fair Prince Rupert has a lot of un- employment on her hands, and conditions there are only fair, ac- cording to Mr. Connors. The com- munity has a serious problem on its hands in trying to aid real dis- tress among its idle population. The residents of the city ar2 somewhat encouraged over a re- vival af activity at the grain ele- | vators which have been empty and Word has been received in Ju- from W. A.
