SKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER N THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. THE BEGINNING IS NEAR. The statement of Mr. Kinzie that pcrmancnt; construction work on the great pulp and paper | mills that are to be erected on Gastineau Chan- nel by the Cameron-Chandler group of capitalists | will begin within five or six months is one that, will cause the blood to flow a little faster in Juneau- ites. It means that there is to be a development here that will add 10,000 people to the population of this section within a few years. It will be the| beginning of an industry that will become greator; as time goes on for more mills are bound to follow | those first started and proved successful. The people of Juneau know Mr. Kinzie. They | know that he does not talk unless he knows the facts, and when he said that construction work will begin within five or six months he meant exnct]yi that and knows that it will begin at the time| stated. i So we might put it down that Juneau is facing a future that is bright with promise. The last few years have been a period of foundation building. The erection of the structure is about to begin. Within the last year or more the Alaska Juneau| has been proved to be a great mine and one that will yield large returns for many years. Chichagurl‘ Tsland, the Taku River country, Admiralty Island and other sections are witnessing mining develop- ments that have all the earmarks of great mining camps in the building. Our mining industry never | was S0 promising. The fishing industry is prosperous and will not decrease. It employs many and may employ more as time advances. Now to these industries is to be added the| development of the timber resources, with the prom-| ise that it will be the most populous of all our industries. Juneau is certainly destined to be one of the finest little cities in all the West, and one of the most prosperous. WOMEN IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT. ‘While the prediction that one-third of the 60 or 70 women who ran for membership in the British Parliament at the late election in Great Britain would win did not materialize. The present British Parliament has more women members than ever| before sat as legislators in that country. There are thirteen, just one less than double the number of women in the American Congress. The Laborites profited most from the success of women candidates for Parliament. They have nine of them. The Conservatives have three and the Liberals one—the latter, Miss Megan George, | daughter of Lloyd George, the Liberal leader, also a member. A Labor member that is attracting large attention on account of her aristocratic social standing is Lady Mosely, daughter of Lord Curzon, famous and rich Conservative statesman. Our American born Lady Astor was re-elected, though her pulurality was greatly reduced. She was the first woman to be elected to a British Parlia- She is a Conservative. The most prominent woman member is Miss Margaret Bondfield, a Laborite. She is most prominent because she is not only the most fluent orator among the women legislators but she was honored with the first British Cabinet membership ever to be given to a woman ment. And now comes the report of yet another Taku River mineral strike that bids fair to take rank with the Eaton-Willlams and Manville-Goldstein strikes. Just watch out and see if one of the best disl mining icts of the country is not developed in that section. Of course Senator Caraway would not be satisfied with the Wiskersham commission. Senator Caraway is not easily satisfied. Our Boat-Building Boom. (Boston News Bureau.) Boatbuilding, backbone of the early New Eng- land colonies, is again assuming an increasingly important place in New England industry. Many early New England settlers, unable to wrest a live- lihood from arid soil, turned to the sea. Some be- jcame sailors and fishermen; others were builders of boats. Most of those early boats were sloops or schoon- ers betwen 65 and 90 feet long. Boston sailors, backed by Boston merchants, made voyages in them to the Columbia River for furs, thence to China where the furs were traded for tea, silks, spices, etc, then back to the Colonies. The merchants used fleets of small boats to minimize the dangers to vessels and cargoes. In the early nineteenth century the California gold rush and later the |China tea trade pointed to the need for boats with more speed and accommodations. ship was evolved. Then the long stagnation—and the long British lead. Just a few boatbuilders survived in New England, turning out chiefly yachts or fishing boats. bringing a new era in boatbulding. It was not until after the World War that the industry really got on its feet again. Previously boats were strictly custom-made. Every owner wanted his craft to be different from any other boat,—which made them very costly. Now congestion of the highways and increased prosperity have combined to turn the thoughts of many to the open sea. The boatbuilders, meantime, had noted the success of standardization in the motor industry, and began to experiment with these methods. Almost without exception their efforts were crowned with success. In the spring of 1929 builders were constructing 307 yachts in 42 yards in New England. These boats ranged in size from small 22-footers to the 220- foot schooner for Carll Tucker, the 266-foot diesel yacht for H. W. J. Manville and the 343-foot turbo- electric yacht for J. P. Morgan. Many of the men employed in the boatyards today are sons or grand- sons of the men who helped to make New England famous in earlier days. Their love for their craftsmanship has aided materially in maintaining the New England tradition of product quality. Thus New England is coming to the forefront again in a new-old industry of supplying boats for her hardy sailors,—the most famous of whom is now serving his country as Secretary of the Navy.
