An adjustment of the City's dif- ferences with the Juneau Cold Stor- age Company over the lease on the old cold storage building, was made last night. The Council accepted an offer of the company to turn back the building to the munici- {this year. The remaining nine- |year portion of the lease will be cancelled. The company will pay a $200 annual rental for 1928 and a proportionate sum for that portion of this year, durjng which it holds the property.

Snow, pioneer resident of Juneau, returned here yesterday. “I am home to stay, this time,” he declared. Conditions in the Pacific North- west are not any too prosperous despite its growth, increased build- ing, etc., Mr. Snow said. Chain stores are replacing the local mer- chant not only in the small towns but in the larger citfes, but the cost of living is not decreasing, rather the reverse. Employment is not any too plentiful and wages have lowered some in certain lines of activity, “Alaska looks good to me, and Jupeau best of all I am back here to stay. No more of the Out- side for me,” Mr. Snow said. e H. H. ANDRE RETURNS H. H. Andre, of the B. M.
