THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1934. JUNEAU WILL | COMMEMORATE ANNIVERSARY Augusl 17 Marks 54th Year Since Original | Strike Made (Continued from page five) Onc of the least under:toodl features of Juneau is the climate July is the warmest month, accord- ‘ ing to the U. S. Weather Bureau| gtation here, with an average of §7.1 degree above zero. January's gverage of 27.7 degrees makes it the coldest month. Less than 100/ days of zera weather or - below,| have been recorded in Juneau in mearly 40 years. The July average for Juneau is close to that of the summer resort of Tahoe, Calif, which has an average of 59.6 de- ees for the same month. At ast one-half of the states of the Union have portions reporting cold- er January averages than Juneau statistics show. ‘While considerable mining ac- fivity is always manifest through- out Southeast Alaska, the big mine in this section today is the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, on Gastineau Channel, bordering Ju- neau’s city limits. With a mill capacity at the present time of ap- proximately 12,000 tons- daily, this mine employs over 700 men and has a payroll in excess of $1,000,000 annually. Industry of Future The great future forest industry of Alaska is the manufacture of pulp and paper. Juneau is espec- dally well situated for plants of this | kind, for in this locality are 17 billion board feet of western hem- lock and Sitka spruce timber and both of these species are admirably suited to such use. Cheaply de- ¥eloped water power sites with al 1 capacity of not less than ,500 horsepower are availab'c or paper mill operations. The mber Mill plant was recently re- gonstructed into. a modern .electrie- &lly-operated sawmill and box fac- tory at a cost of $117,00000. The entire value of the plant is now| in the neighborhood of $450,000.00 | . Juneau's proximity to the great halibut fishing banks at Icy Straits #nd.Cross Sound, and to adjacent #Salmon fishing areas, make it pos- sible for her modern Juneau Cold Storage Company plant to handle well in excess of a million pounds of fresh and frozen fish each r. Garden Vegetables Grown Owing to abundant precipitation during the summer months, agri-|. eculture is confined mainly to the owing of garden vegetables and &mall fruits together with some stock raising in a few localities and dairying near the towns. Such wegetables as potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, radishes, lettuce, ruta- bagas, turnips and rhubarb grow well and cannot be excelled any- where for crispness and flavor. Strawberries and red raspberries @re grown in abundance in many Places. Large brown aend grizzly bears, the largest carnivorous animals in world, are found on Admiralty, aranof and Chichagof Islands most of the mainland adjacent Juneau. Black bear, deer, moose and mountain goat are plentitul, t0o. Among the fur bearers in this locality are mink, marten, heaver, land otter; ermine and red Excellent hunting for duck, | geese, grouse and ptarmigan H @vailable to the sportsman, who | will find, also, native Cutthroat, Steelhead, Rainbow and Dolly Var- flen trout, and some Colorado Brook trout, which have been plant- In the inland seas exist the salmon, halibut and deep sea , all game fish.

Now, along with |25 other .attorneys of their sex, i(hvy have incorporated the Wo- men's Bar Association of Kansas City. The decree of incorporation de- | clares the purposes of the asso- | ciation to inelude encouraging wo- | men in the study of law and cul- tivating social fellowship among members, efforts to eliminate dis- crimination against women under the law; and cooperation with all lawyers in upholding the ethics of the legal profession. Gladys J. Minface is president of | the new association. Tiera Far- row, who with Jouise M. Byers | sought membership in the men’s organization in 1925, acted as at- | torney for the association in ob- | taining the decree of incorpora- | txon ‘cmwm:n DENMARK | HOPES TO COLONIZE | "IN SOUTH AMERICA' | COPENHAGEN, July 27. — Den- mark is scanning the horizon for a new outlet for her surplus popu- | lation which formerly emigrated to the United States. Spots which look likely are Ar-, | gentina, Brazil and Venezuela and the foreign office is enquiring of, their goverments whether they would entertain the idea of Danish settlements on a large scale. The scheme is that the emig- rants would form their own com- munities in a country of either their own or their government's selection. The Danish state is pre- pared to finance the emigrants,| possibly allowing as high as $1,000 for each family. i If the South American countries are prepared to accept settlers, Dr. H. H. Steincke, minister for | soclal affairs, plans to visit them, | accompanied by Danish experts, for a survey of conditions and! | possibilities. A great many Danes, however, oppose the idea of providing good | citizens with money with which to { become citizens of another coun- try. f in Kansas City— \ LR DR Erin Puts 1Silencer ' !
