R e o o g oo e NICHOLAS SEES BRIGHT FUTURE FOR THIS CITY Tide of Settlement Now Turning from South to Northwest [ “Alaska and the whole North- is about to come into its declared B. C. Nicholas.| I of the Victoria| Juneau | y for a few hours. With his| y, A. Strickland, and C. F.| Moriarty, Canadian Press operator | wi the Times, he is making his biennial trip to the north on the| Prince Henry and they will re-{ turn south tonight on the same vessel. Mr. Nicholas, who visited Ju- neau two years ago with then Lieut, ‘Governor Randolph Bruce of Brit- ish Columbia, was impressed with local progress since his last visit, and noted with interest the evi- dences of prosperity here, Tide to Turn Northward he tide of development and nent is turning northward as it was bound to do," Mr. Nich- olas asserted. “The movement to the Southwest has about had its <day. The era marked by the selling of ‘air’ that has seen such notable growth in California and other sections where climate is the main attraction, is about to give way to an epoch of development of material resources and the Northwest abounds in them. People today are getting back to basic principles upon which the real prosperity of the United States and Canada was created and upon which it must continue to rest if it is to be permanent. “Juneau, with its great gold mine—the Alaska Juneau—seems surely destined to grow into a sizeable community. It has what the world demands—gold. When I visited here two years ago with Lieut. Governor Bruce, I recall he predicted at the time that from Juneau north, back toward Canada and into it, more gold discoveries would be made and more mines de- veloped.” Ignorance Is Handicap Ignorance of the accomplish- ments of the Alaska Juneau, due in large part to distance from populous centers, has handicapped mining development in this district Mr. Nicholas believes. Relatively, there are few people who know anything about its remarkable rec- ord and its mounting success. If the property were located in some thickly settled area, or immediate- ly adjacent to one, there would be large numbers of prospectors comb- ing the hills for other mineral de- posits and mining operators would be actively interested in their dis- coveries. “In times like the present, how- ever, the tendency is stronger to look for such opportunities, and Juneau is certain to benefit by it,” he said. SHOOTS WILD WHILE DRUNK Apparently Intoxicated Man Perhaps Fatally Wounds Another ANACORTES, Wash, Aug. 3.— Leo Leveque, aged 36, was shot in the head and chest Saturday by ‘Walter Burkett, aged 44, while ap- parently intoxicated. Witnesses said an acquaintance called at the Burkett home on Guemes Island to get a shaving set outfit which he had left there. He found Burkett and Levequee sitting in an automobile. Burkett went into the house to get a razor and then came out shooting wild and struck Leveque before he could be unarmed. Ralph Meleney, who called for the razor, and his two women companions were unharmed Leveque was brought to the An- acortes Hospital and physicians said he might recover, but probably would lose the sight of one eye. Officers left for ‘the island to| arrest Burkett. | ———————— MOONES EMERALD OIL For External Use Antiseptic Germicide Deodorant New Price, 85¢ Juneau Drug Company Free Delivery - Phone 38 | | Post Office Substation l cV shows the route of their flight.
