There is more or less un- employment throughout the coun- try which is, of course, having its effect upon business. Thel gituation, however, was not con-/ sidered serious. While last ye: the country generally had a busy year, in the business world, both | wholesale and retail, it was char- acterized as a year of “‘profitless prosperity, and this, Mr., Behrends said, was not altogeth- er an exaggeration. Some im- provement is looked for in condi- tions in the near future. As is natural for a national campaign year, a great deal of} attention is being paid to politi- cal matters and everywhere Mr. Behrends visited he heard more or less discussion regarding pos- sible presidential nominees. It is geénerally conceded throughout the country that Secretary Hoov- er and Gov. Smith are the lead- ing candidates for the nomina- tions of their respective parties, There is a strong undercurrent of belief, however, that the for- mer will not be able to muster sufficient strength to win. 1In the east and, in fact, all the way across the continent the opinion was voiced by many. that the Mr, {Behrends |8 to some candidate whose name has not yet been mentioned.

This com- munity is coming to be regarded Alaska's most substantial town, and “while I was naturally gratified to hear this, it was not exactly news to me as I have| been telling them this fact fc ething' like the past 40 ye 't Mr Behrends declared. He added he expected this to be one of the best years in the his- tory of the community from al-| it every standpoint. — e — SILVER TEA'TG BE | GIVEN TOMORROW The Missionary Society of the Northern Light Presbyterian Church will give a Silver Tea to- morrow afternoon, starting at 2| o'clock in the Manse.

He arrived here vesterday from the south after completing arrangements for the party. Two local boats, the Valkyrie and the Cordelia D., have been chartered for the parfy. A float- ing camp is being built on barge which will be towed from bay to bay as the work progresses. Of the crew of 15, ten will be cruisers and compass men who | will be actually engaged in mak- ing the survey. These will be brought here from the south. Four of the crew are being employed locally. “This survey is a continuation of the work which we began last season,” Mr. Meldrum pointed out. At that time, however, the study was purely preliminary entailing a broad survey of the more sali- ent features. This year Mr. Meld- rum will make a comprehensive and detailed cruise of the entire unit determining the areas from which pulp timber can be logged and delivered to the proposed pulp and paper mill contemplated by the Cameron-Chandler inter- ests. Following the launching of the locals work, Mr. Meldrum will put a second cruising party in the field in the Ketchikan unit. - "' WOMAN’S CLUB HOLDS MEETING The Juneau Woman's Club held a regular meeting at the Forget- Me-Not Tea Rooms last night.
