This has been a year of good news for Juneau,| pbut nothing has occurred that will hearten the | people more than those Wwashington dispatches which tell them that the contract for the construction of the Territorial and Federal Building has actually | been let and that work on it will begin \\nhm}‘ thirty days. The contract gives the builders iwo| years in which to complete the structure Thus ends with victory a campaign that has been under way for many years, and the victory is accentuated by the circumstance that we shall have a much better building than the people here had | dared to hope for during many of the long years of | waiting. The building will be commodious and im- posing. It will afford amply room for the public| offices and it will be an architectural monument ! that will add to the beauty of the City and its appearance of stability. The erection of this building will help a lot in the forward march of this community that is now catching its step for the greatest advance in its| history. It will not only mean the expenditure of three quarters of a million dollars here but it will give us the assurance that the capital is anchored in Juneau to remain. It will make valuable adver- tising for this place. Too much credit cannot be given to Gov. Parks, Alaska commercial organizations and all those throughout the Territory and elsewhere that have worked so heartily with the people of this City to bring about the finale that came when Secretary Mellon wrote his name on the dotted line of the contract yesterday. | LA GUARDIA TO CONDUCT HIS OWN; CAMPAIGN. H New York newspapers say the Republican leaders and organization have notified Major La Guardia, | who is the Republican candidate for Mayor, that | he must finance his own campaign and form his own organization. They do not regard the candi- date as a Republican and resent his absolute re- fusal to cooperate in any way with the organization on any basis except his own nomination. This was coupled with a threat to make a fight on the floor of the convention for the nomination. It is con- ceded, however, that the leaders controlled the convention. Their failure to head off La Guardia their inability to get a satisfactory candidate to accept it. When, failing to get a can- didate, they consented to the nomination of La Guardia, they refused to nominate candidates for Comptroller and President of the Board of Alder- men, leaving both places on the ticket to be filled by personal selection by La Guardia himself. It publican or organized fusion campaign that will be made against Mayor Walker and Tammany. NEWS OF TAKU DOINGS SPREAI The following item from the Engineering and Mining Journal, probably the leading general min- ing publication in the United States, indicates that ice is being taken of doings in Juneauw’s Taku district: Alaska Juneau Gold has acquired a con- trolling interest in the Manville-Goldstein group of claims, at the Taku River, Alaska. The consideration paid has not been di- vulged, but Alaska Juneau is reported to have undertaken to spend $200,000 on the development and equipment of the prop- erty. Every day the newspapers are recording the facts that make this the greatest year in the his- tory of aviation Juneau is appropriately grateful to her Unecle Sam for the Capitol contract and another great day in her history. More People for Alaska. (Seattle Times.) With preparations in progress for the decennial census, the population of Alaska is estimated by its officials at 55,000. Of these, 30,000 are whites |ana the remainder Eskimos and Indians, or natives as they prefer to be called. The number is small for a region one-third [one-fifth] the size of the States and rich in manifold resources. Establishment of paper pulp mills in the- heavily timbered parts of Southeastern Alaska is assured. These enterprises will bring new inhabitants. The reindeer industry will soon be furnished adequate transportation facilities, and promises to attain the importance of the range cattle business of the West of a few years ago. Farming opportunities are ex- ploited by the Government railroad to attract set- tlers to its zone of operation. Extension of agriculture will result in the pro- duction not only of enough cereals and vegetables ‘for domestic consumption, but also of a surplus for export. Over an area of at least 100,000 square miles in Alaska, conditions are naturally better for agriculture than in Finland, which lies in a higher latitude than Nome, supports a population of 3,000,- 1000 from 20,000 square miles of tillable and grazing | soil, and ships grain and meat to other parts of the | world. Alaska’s coal deposits, now worked on only a limited scale because of the small home market, can be expanded to meet any requirements. Fish, furs, and precious metals, the principal yields of the North, have not caused any increase in popula- tion in the last few decades. Resources coming into development call for more inhabitants and will ne- cessitate their permanent residence. Census figures | ten years hence will show large gains. Culinary Centers. (Trenton Times.) Henry Ford believes that the home of the future will have no cooking done inside, but that com- munity culinary centers will be established in which all varieties of food will be cooked and delivered to the homes at much lower cost than the house- keeper can do the work. That is not by any means a new suggestion, excepting, possibly, the thought | that it can be done more*economically. The wonder is that the experiment has not long ago been given a trial. Why, for instance, should the 25,000 or 30,000 families in Trenton do their marketing and cooking when it is possible—or should be—for service companies to do the work better and at least partially solve the problem of getting and keeping satisfactory kitchen help? Two American tourists in Russia make a wild dash from the Volga to embark on the Graf Zep- pelin. Just the tiniest suspicion occurs that per- haps they were not quite so interested in the great Soviet experiment as they might have been.—(New York Times.) It is not in the least a conditional statement that if M. Briand has been Premier once he has been Premier a dozen times—(New York Times.) There were 58,887 arrests for traffic offenses in Washington last year, but American lawlessness doesn't impress people as serious if it is motorized. —(Springfield Republican.)

But For How Long, Ted? Now comes Ted Robinson in a lengthy article in his column in the Cleveland Plain Dealer to assure you he saw Isadore Moidel, of Warren, column conductor,’ helper extrordinary, who has started one of his own, after he had been on the job a week, and he still was smiling. T. R. didn't offer to bet, however, that Isadore still would be a year from now—if he keeps it up that long. More or Less True A woman's answer to the man’s question, “why do you have to ery at a movie to enjoy it?” is “Why do you think you have to get up in the lucky seventh to stretch to win the game?” The only thing as unusual these days as a daughter who helps mother with the dishes is a father who is out of debt. If there is a birthday due and you see friend wife shopping in the five-and-ten you know without be- ing told it is her husband’s, not hers, Any time a man wants to spend a miserable evening all he needs to do is to make a remark at the supper table about how slick some dame of their acquaintance looked in her new outfit, and hell start right in getting an earful how good SOME husbands are to their wives. Some women wouldn't enjoy a meeting of their club if they weren't sure some other member had been hurt by the catty, sar- castic remarks they had dropped. It is getting so that being treat- ed like a servant is considered about as grand as we once thought | being treated like a prince was, e A LODE MINING CLAIM LOCA- TION NOTICES AT THE Eml‘ who roasts her own and the | wondering, pitifully, if their vetti~ ‘L_Ar‘mlntmmt- Phone 484 | coats were showing, or if the bold,}~ i DA T £ impertinent man across the aislef/T — SER & FREEBURGIE] DENTISTS 301-303 Goldstein Bldg.
