KIRKPATRICK STOPS AT JUNEAU WHARF ON SOUTHBOUND JOURNEY Southbound from Unalaska, the John C. Kirkpatrick was berthed at Commercial Dock at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. She was to have left for Ketchikan and Seattle at 4 o'clock. The Kirkpatrick left the Juneau harbor several weeks ago, originally intending to call at Nome with lumber supplies to aid the city hit | by a large fire. But, after weather- ing bad storms or the outbound trip, she transferred her Nome cargo at Dutch Harhor with the intention that the Baldwin would pick it up and take it to the north- ern port. ‘The worst storm held the ship| for two days at McCord, Purser Henry Green said here this after- noon. However, neither personal injury nor damage to the ship was noted. On the east and southbound trip, the Kirkpatrick made stops at FIRST SHRINE CLUB DANCE IS Delightful Evening Enjoy- ed at Scottish Rite GREAT SUGCESS Temple di: With an excellent crowd present, | i one of the most enjoyable dances to take place in Juneau for many months was held at the Scottish Rite Temple by the Shrine Club| last evening. It was the first Shrine Dance to be held this sea- son and color and charm was furnished by the many new and modish evening gowns of crepe and velvet worn by the well groomed 3 women which constracted pleasant- | ly with the formal black and white of the men. Music, played by Earl Blinzer's popular five-piece dance orchestra, contributed much to the pleasure and gaiety of the delightful party. & During the intermission a buffet = lunch was served in the banquet I room on the first floor.

JUNEAU—Phone 6 DOUGLAS—Phone 18 ed in Offisial Statement SAN FRANCISCO Cal., Nov. 3. —Although actual comparison of index figures indicates that the Twelfth Federal Res:rve Bank Dis- trict showed less general business activity in September than in August, analysis of contiibutory causes has allayed any fear of a serious decline. That a sensational rise in ac- tivity during August, rather than any real decline in the last month was the chief cause of the unfav- orable comparison, was the belief held here today. Labor disputes which terminated during the latter part of July caused the August boom, but the major effects of that reaction declined to a seasonal normal in September. aszsEsETREwERy | Employment Industrial employment, excluding the canning industry, was main- |tained near highest levels of the =|year in September. But even the #)canning group had a reasonable ‘|and rational excuse to offer for }us decline, unusual inasmuch as | :| canning is normally a September activity, Operations in canneries reached a seasonal peak earlier than usual this year because of the early agricultural season, and were Carloadings However, freight carloadings—a i strong indicator of business con- ditions decreased considerably more than the seasonal amount in September. Movement of intercoast- al traffic through the Panama Ca- nal expanded on the other hand, further during the past month, as e result of increased shipments | 4 from the Atlantic Coast. | Sales in agricultural areas con- tinued to match department store sale increases, principally because harvesting activities during Sep- tember were attended by favorable weather conditions. Previous esti- mates that most crop yields would approach those of other recent years appeared to be sustantiated. Volume of marketing has been larger, reflecting the early matur- ity of crops as well as increased demand resulting from short pro- ; - et duction elsewhere in the United States. | Scme Declines Contrasting with the improved merchandise seiling was the decline in both lumber and flour milling industries. Both decreases followed | sharp August gains. The same de- cline was noted in awards for pub- lic works construction, but private building showed some gains, a stimulation, it was felt, by the modernization and repair program of the Federal Housing Adminis-) tration. In the banking report, highest reserve balances at the Federal Reserve Bank here took substan- tial increase until the highest point on record was reached. Re-! serves in excess of legal require- ments also increased. Bankers felt that this expansion in district | banking reserves resulted from Federal government disbursements in excess of local collections, and ' from an inflow through commercial and financial transactions with _other districts.

Dorbandt and DeStaffany are now out on bond and Pierce is in jail at Valdez, in lieu of putting up his bond. Dorbandt, well known aviator, passed through Juneau early this week on his way to Seward from Ketchikan, following the continuance of the case. — .o — — BEER BLACKLIST IS INSTITUTED REDOAK, Ia, Nov. 3. — This small town now has a “black list” of pérsons to whom it is illegal to sell beer—the same beer that is de- scribed in the law book as non-in- toxicating. o The mayor issued the ‘“black- list,” starting with three names, together with a threat to revoke the license of any dealer caught selling beer to them. The men were habitual visitors to court on in- toxication charges. ' —— e — L1 e®een.ncaeaoe . AT THE HOTELS L4 Alackan Don Barrett, Tee Harbor; John Murdock, Juneau; Joseph A.

HOT-STOVE TALK INDICATES MANY BASEBALL DEALS {Al Simmons Trade to De-! troit Heads Long List of Swaps NEW YORK, Nov. 3—The lads| |are sitting about the ‘“hot-stove” headquarters these days and the gossip that’s heard would make many a major league baseball man-{ ager perk up his ears. ¥ Discussion of trades, always a| big winter talk item, is unusually popular. Here are the more promi- ! nent and most frequently hinted trades: They say that Al Simmons, Chi- cago's hero-bust is bound for De-I troit. The Cubs want Dizzy Dean—and ! ('who doesn’t?
