Judson at the regular iuncheon of: the Chamber of Commerce. Mayor Judson stated that the present lease for the property now occupied by the City Float termi- netes in another year. The Alaska | Juneau Mine, owners of the prop- erty, have at this time planned to erect a powder dock where the present float is located. With the termination lease the City will be confronted with the difficult problem of where to accommodate small boats in the harbor, Mayor Judson said that he personally did not know of a suitable site for a float. He ex- plained that were it possible tc |dredge the flat north of the Gov- ernment Dock that would make an ideal location for small boat pro- tection. He added that to have that site drecyred, to engage the dredge for that ohe purpose, would cost a prohibitive amount and that the City treasury would not likely be in a position to stand the drain. He stated that if, in the near future, it would be possible to dredge a channel, which now goes could for a comparatively small additional sum, do the dredging for the proposed float. This was, as Mayor Judson explained it, the only out that he personally had in mind relative to the important question of handling the small boat fleet that will have no place to tie up when the present lease termi- | nates. President of the Chamber of Commerce H. L. Faulkner, told that body that the committee elected to study the float problem would meet with the City Council, Friday night to consider with that body, ways and means relative to the City Float problem. The Reindeer Industry D. E. Crowley, associated with the Lomen Reindeer interests, was a special guest of the Chamber to- day and told at length of the amaz- ing growth of the industry, which he believes will one day be the greatest industry in Alaska, or, he amended, “at least one of the great- est.” He said: “From 1892 until 1900 the first reindeer were shipped into the Ter- ritory from Siberia. From this and was carried from the field with (nucleus there has been developed a total number of deer that now is between 600,000 and 700,000. Most of these animals are owned by Es- SAYS HACK TO BABE |kimos, about 20 per cent are owned |by white interests. The Lomen in- terests shipped the first reindeer meat from the Territory commer- cially in 1924, The shipment was 1500 carcasses. In 1925, 2,500 car- casses were shipped, in 1926 the Hornsby, Hack sees great oppor- nNumber grew to 4,000 and jumped to 6,000 in the year 1927 and just doubled for 1928, or last year 12,- 000 Alaska reindeer were shipped to the States. “Over 13,000 carcasses are ready for shipment south at this time,” said Mr. Crowley, “and we fully expect to pass the 20,000 mark this season,” he added. A. Polet, well-known Nome busi- ness man, was to have been a guest at he luncheon but sailed last night for Seattle as a result of quickly changed plans. Foster on Alaska Chamber Representative Frank H. Foster, of the| from Cordova, Was a guest of thc| Old papers st tne Empire. Chamber and told briefly the pur- pose of the All-Alaska Chamber of | Commerce. He said: “Washington | Is ready to help Alaska, but does not always know what Alaska wants.” The All-Alaska Chamber of Com- merce is designated to bring to- zether the widely scattered towns mary - purpose of expressing common Territorial interests. Mr. Foster concluded with: “The bind- ing together of the cities of Alas- ka in one common organization for the betterment of the Territory, will enable Alaska to present her prob- '‘ems, not the problems of one own, which are sometimes selfi: our sut those problems that we are all| nterested in, in a manner that will :ommand attention because they ~ill be expressed by people from Ml over the Territory.” MRS. NELSON PASSES AWAY AT HOSPITAL Wife ot Prominent Business ~Man Died Last Night— Death Is Shock Mrs. Johanna Warloe Nelson, wife of N. G. Nelson, prominent Jusiness man and property owner of Juneau and Ketchikan, died at 8t. Ann’s Hospital at midnight last night. The immediate cause of her death was heart trouble and complications following the birth of dry at low tides, the same dredge|a baby daughter on April 19. Mrs. | Nelson had withstood an attack of Influenza in March, and the weak- ened condition which resulted was largely responsible for her death, according to her physician. ‘uneral will be held at the Scottish Rite Temple Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock and interment will be in the Masonic plot of Evergreen Cemetery. The Rev. Harry R. Allen will conduct the services. Mrs. Nelson is survived by her husband and three daughters, Grace, eleven years old, May, seven vears and baby June, who are in| Juneau. Her mother, four sisters and two brothers live in Norway. | A sister lives in Fairbanks and a brother in North Dakota. Mrs. Nelson was born in Drammen, Nor- way in 1890 and came to the United States in 1909 as a young girl. Mr. Nelson and she were married in @ecattle in 1915 and came from there to Alaska where they have liven continuously with the excep- tion of a year spent in California. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson lived in Ju- neau until 1921 when they left to go to California. After being in the States for a short time they returned to Alaska and Mr. Nelson went into business in Ketchikan where they lived until last sum- mer when they returned to Juneau to make their home. While it has been known for sev- eral days that Mrs. Nelson was in a serious condition, her death comes as a shock to the people of Ju- neau and deep sympathy is felt for her husband and young daugh- ters. She was a member of the Lutheran Church, taking an active part in church work, and had many friends in town who will feel her 1oss. e — ARRESTED AT KETCHIKAN Deputy U. 8.

Kef- fer, will be held at the C. W. Car- ter Mortuary by the members of Alford John Bradford Post No. 4, of the American Legion tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Members of the Legion will be present with the firing squad and the colors, and interment will be in the American Legion plot of Evergreen Cemetery. Members of the Legion are re- quested to meet at the Dugout at 1:30 o'clock and to take their hats, Post Commander E. F. Herrmann said today. Mr. Keffer, who was electrical foreman at the Hirst Chichagof mine, was electrocuted last week, lwhenheputhishmdonwmm- lated line, carrying 6600 volts. A letter {rom D. J. Williams, su- perintendent of the mine, to B. D. Stewart, Federal Mining Engineer of the U. S. Bureau of Mines, said that Mr. Keffer had put his hand on the insulated wire in his pres- ence to prove it's safety and that he had cautioned Mr. Keffer that it was a careless thing to do. The accident is accounted for, by the fact that on the previous occasion Mr. Keffer had worn rubber soled shoes, and the weather was dry, and at the time of the accident, he wore hob nailed shoes which were wet, and was standing on a rein- forced concrete floor which formed a ground permitting the shock to go through his body. - e —— New, select line of visiting cards at The Empire.
