B. Brock and Maj. Ruby D. Garrett—"are anxious to make flight to Juneau,” the Cham- | ber of Commerce was advised today by Conrad H. Mann, President ui} the Kansas City Chamber of Com- | merce, responding to the local| Chamber’s invitation, the good will flyers to include Alaska's capital in their air tour to the capitals of the various states. The hitch in the plan lies in the fact that it is not possible to change their plane from wheels to ponsoons, which would be neces- sary in order to fly here from Olympia, Wash. Mr. Mann asked for suggestions from Secretary G. H. Walmsley as to how the visit could be made. After conferring with A. B. Hayes | Jocal representative of the Alaska- Washington Airways, Mr. Walmsley telegraphed Mr. Mann suggesting that he get into communication with Seattle officers of the Air- ways and ascertain if a plane could be chartered from it for the Alaska flight. Mr. Hayes also wired his company asking it to get in touch with Mr. Mann. The trip would consume a mini- mum of two days, and it is believed the charter price for the seaplane would not be much greater than the cost of changing from wheels to pontoons. ————————— DR.

PATROL Coast Guard Forces Kept Busy at One Thing or Another NEW LONDON, Conn., July 11.— If it isn’t one thing, its another that keeps the coastguard forces here busy. The patrols are watch- ing summer fesidents along the |shore from Saybrook in Connecti- cut to points beyond Watch Hill, Rhode Island, who find gifts of liquors laid at their very doors.!' One of the duties of the 'coast- guardsmen is to collect the gifts. Summer residents aren’t engaged in the liquor business. Their gifts come in upon the rollers, bags and | boxes of assorted wet goods that have been lost when some runner of liquor has gone down, or con- signment thrown overboard when coastguard vessels have come too close for safety. One boat, the El Sol, went down at Warren Point, R. I, last Feb- ruary. The vessel kept her sec- rets to herself until lately. Sea- sonal and her cargo began to work loose. Coastguard divers were sent over from New London and they sal- vaged 300 sacks of liquor before storms drove them away. Bags of Liquor Revealed Soon after the divers quit, bags of liquor began to roll ashore from the approximate location of the El Sol. As if sensing what had | happened coastguard boats appear- ed along "the shore and their crews landed and began making collections from cottages. Then there is the question of numerous new boat building con-, cerns springing up all around New London. A quiet investigation has been going on. Coastguard lead- ers say there is no doubt the boats are buliding for rum runners. An eye is being kept on the craft, i deliveries of finished vessels are‘ noted carefully. All this led to coascguardsmen‘ declaring that men anxious for' fast boats are paying anywhere from $2,500 to $25,000 for finished products. The faster the boat, the higher the price. And pay-| ments are made in spot cash. Just where the plants are located is not being divulged but local resi- dents say they know. The coastguard received two new | 'speed boats to add to the New w Shipment CATON’S Stationery 50c to $5.00 Juneau Drug Company Free Delivery Phone 38 Post Ofice Substation Neo. 1 e ————— They and !

For a while New Londoners were rather dis-| turbed by the noise. But they soon were used to it. Now =a morning dawns with many people wondering whether they heard fir- ing in the night, or just dreamed it, or perhaps it was distant thunder. | A slowly lengthening line of boats stands by the customs house here, proof that both smug- glers and coastguard forces have been active. The boats are tro- phies of the stern chase. But most of the seizures seem to be made in New York waters and victims are here only a short time. They have to be taken down the Sound to New York, the place where juste ice is meted to those who violate ;the law twenty miles from New London, but inside the boundaries of ‘the state of New York. - e —— NORGO BRINGS BIG CARGO AND 9 PASSENGERS Motorship Is Scheduled t Sail for Seattle at { 9 Tonight From Seattle, the motorship Norco, Capt.
