The Juneau Chamber of Com
merce is leaving no stone unturn
ed to bring about the use of
Alaska marble in the construction
of the Juneau federal building.
The organization is asking other
Alaska commercial bodies to as
sist them and a telegrar*. to this
effect was received a few days
ago by the Seward Chamber of
Commerce.
Several reasons are advanced
for urging the use of Alaska mar
ble one of which is the fact that
the Territorial product will stand
wet weather better than lime
stone: that its use will insure
the working of the Alaska marble
quarries for s o mt i m e and give
employment, thereby, to several
hundred men: and that its use
will be available for advertising
purposes to an Alaska industry
that needs it

wife Natalia, with three ships and

Okhotsk, and after a cruise of
nearly a year, entered a harbor on
the southeastern coast of Kodiak

About 1793, during George Wash
ington’s second administration and
while the Spanish padres were
completing their chain of missions
in Alta, Calif., this little settlement
was moved to Pavlovsk, or St. Paul
harbor, the present site of Kodiak.
At this time the American repre

Co., was Alexander Baranoff, who
for 30 years was an outstanding
figure in Russian-American his

Golikoff Co., was absorbed into the
great monopoly known as the Rus
sian American Co., which dominat
ed trade in Russian America until
the occupation of the United States
and of which several members of
the royal family as well as the gov
ernment of Russia were heavy
stockholders, Baranoff succeeded*to
the management of the new or
ganization. He was later known
as the Russian governor and Kodi
