At the present time approximate- ly $3,000 is on deposit for the asso- ciation in the B. M. Behrends Bank in Juneau, and it is hoped to double that amount this year. It is antici- pated that at the next session of the legislature any sum then on hand with the association will be matched by an appropriation from the terri- tory. This would then give the tuber- culosis fighters a sufficient working sum to show the true situation of tu- berculosis in the territory Tuberculosis Toll High At the present time it is recorded that among the natives of Alaska there is ten to twelve times as much tuberculosis as is found in other lo- calities, while the instances of tuber- culosis among the whites are about on a par with those of similar lo- calities in the states. The Alaska Tuberculosis Associa- tion hopes that from the results of its survey it can convince Washing- ton, D. C, of the need of at least two modern tuberculosis sanitariums in Alaska. It is not contemplated that there will be very much direct relief grant- ed from the present fund, such pro- cedure being too much of a drain on no sale, Pound $4.93': DOW, JONES AVERAGES The following are today's Dow, Jones averages: Industrials 144.04, rails 41.75, utilities 29.11.
