] COLD STORAGE PLANT MAY BE ENLARGEDNOW, President George to Place +Proposition Before Stockholders Wallls George, President of the Juneau Cold Storage, this morning announced that a program for pro- posed enlargement of the local plant was to be presented to the stockholders of the company at a special meeting called for next Tuesday night. Though no definite statement was forthcoming from Mr. George, this announcement, following his return from a six weeks' business trip, carried the conviction that, now more than ever, due largely to the condition of the eastern market, there is a clear future for the local plant. Mr. George returned to Juneau on the steamer Alameda. When south he traveled as far east as Chicago and there made a survey of the halibut market situation and a thorough study of new outlets. Market Promising “The halibut market situation is this year, more promising than in the past. This is not a little due to the small amount of fish that was on hand at the opening of the season,” said Mr. George. “Last year there was on hand, at the opening of the season, in the major eastern markets, 6,000,000 pounds of frozen halibut. This year there was virtually none at any price.” Mr. George explained that due to advertising, the Alaska deep sea food fish are ever increasing in popularity. Halibut takes first place on the list of consumers of the Alaskan deep sea fish, with cod and other varieties following. There products are fast forging in- to the market, that was until a few years ago, filled almost entirely by the offshore New England fish. People in Chicago and oher east- ern cities seemed puzzled when Mr. George commented on the severe cold that was prevailing when he was there. They seemed perplexed that being from the Territory of Alaska he should complain of a moderately normal eastern winter. While in Chicago, Mr. George said it was below zero, and at several places in Montana it was 25 degrees below,” and that was cold, be- lieve me.” On his return to Seattle from Chicago, Mr. George spent about .nree weeks conferring with offi- clals of various firms and steam- ship lines in connection with the season’s activities for the plant here. The trip as a whole, said Mr. George, was a complete success, and the Juneau Cold Storage will grow and assume greater propor- tions in the future than was antici- pated when the plant was con- structed. — BENEFIT GOODY SALE Saturday, March 9.

W. J. Reed, at the Hyder office, by the local Customs officials, that | E. R. Stivers, the regular Deputy ! Collector at that station, was im- proving from the serious illness that has kept him under the care of medical specialists for some time. Mr. Reed went from here about two months ago to take the place of Mr. Stivers, who after becoming ill, was confined to the Stewart hospital. He failed to respond to the treatment and went to southern California, where he has | been under specialists care since. His illness was an extreme case of flu. Mr. Reed is not a regular mem- ber of the local force, but works here over the winter until he can return to his station at Nome in the spring. In the message received it was stated that Stivers would return to his station about April frist. - — MARTHA SOCIETY HOLDS ELECTION The Martha Society of the North- ern Light Presbyterian church elect- ed officers for the coming year at their meeting yesterday afternoon Hawkesworth and Mrs. Robert Rav- en were the hostesses for the after- noon.

Wallis George today showed a copy of the testimonial that also appeared in the Seattle Post-Intel- ligencer, February 26. It reads: “To Capt. G. J.

Mr. George made further com- ment on the masterly way in which the ship was turned about in the narrow channel, which is in itself a feat of no mean ability and by more than one deep sea -skipper held as nearly impossible when a tide of any strength is running. When approached in Seattle by reporters, Capt. Nord said: “Over on the other side of the pier's your stuff for the paper—them’s the pas- sengers, Kind of good ain't it, to know they're all safe?

Miss Bessie Peterman and James Mael, Salvation Army workers who were serving coffee and doughnuts to the firemen, were injured when the huge steel stack of the Aber- deen Steam Laundry toppled to the street and tore down power lines which struck the girl and man. Miss Peterman was shocked and bruised and Mael was knocked un- conscious and suffered arm injur- ies. Several firemen were bruised. Six thousand persons watched the fire. Salvation A—r_r:y Workers| Jbuilding and of drinking of stu- many were under misapprehension concerning the purpose of the bill. It sponsors explained to Coolidge that while many persistent violat- ors of the Volstead act were for- eigners, there was nothing in the statutes enabling immigration authorities to deport them. By in- creasing the maximum penalty and making violations a felony, the im- migration guthorities have a power to deport alien violators.
