BON VOYAGE TO THE NOWELLS It is with keen regret that residents of Juneau and Gastineau Channel, been here through the years, bid bon voyage Monday to Mr. and Mrs. Willis E. Nowell, who are leaving tc make their future home in Seattle. Neighbors friends by the hundreds are sorry to see them gc permanently, but at the same time they are wishing them the greatest of happiness in the warmer particularly those who have anc away climes of the south.

NATIONAL INCOME, 1935 The Division of Economic Research has completed |its estimates of national income for 1935. The estimates show an increase in national in- |come produced for the third consecutive year. The | total net value of goods and services produced in- | creased 10 per cent to 53 billion dollars, while the amount of income paid out increased 3% billion dol- | lars from 1934 to 1935 to a total of 53,587 million dol- | |lars. Of particular significance was the fact that |the difference between income produced and income i paid out, which had reached a figure close to 9 billion !dolhm in 1932, was cut to 628 million dollars in 1935 In releasing these figures, the Secretary of Com- !nu‘r(’t‘ stated that present indications were that the amount of income produced in 1936 might show a gain of some 10 per cent over that reported for 1935.

Colonel Knox talks about the “rugged heights,” but he'll have to get down in the valleys with the common herd if he wants the votes. Rustic America (Cincinnati Enquirer) Let no man say that the Townsend convention at Cleveland is “un-American.” It is one of the most genuinely American phenomena to appear in politics | in a long time. The lean, stooping men, restless in heir old age after years of toil—the bespectacled women, prim and alert, and a little confused by the uproar—the phrases and the songs—the spirit of | faith that pervades the show. It is a camp meeting at Cleveland. It might have been a temperance rally. Or it might have been a Mr. and Mrs. Nowell have been among Alaska's most distinguished and highly respected citizens through their more than 35 years of residence in the| north. Mr. Nowell was long the representative of the Alaska Steamship Company here. He was widely interested in mining and still is. He has built several mining plants about this part of the Territory and has been interested in various other enterprises. But it is as a violinist that Mr. Nowell is best known to many, not only here but throughout the world. He played in concert all over the United States and Canada. He was with the Boston Sym- phony and Theodore Thomas orchestras; played in the Grand Opera Orchestra in Paris at the Trocadero,’ was with a Berlin Symphony and studied with Joseph Joachina, who at the time was considered the greatest violinist in the world. In 1889, Mr. Nowell was chosen as representative violinist from the United States to appear in concert in Paris, one of the highest honors that could be awarded an American musician. | Here in the north the distinguished artist has given scores of concerts for the entertainment of his countless friends. It is these that have bound him 50 closely to the people of Alaska, who regard him not only as an outstanding violinist but as a loyal neighbor | and warm friend. Mrs. Nowell, too, has long been active in affairs of the community, in church work and social and civic service generally, including the establishment of Juneau’s fine public library. With her distinguished | husband she has made an enviable place for herself in the life of this northern community. Mr. and Mrs. Nowell will be sorely missed in this community, and with them to their new home in the south goes the best wishes of their hundreds of friends and acquaintances thmughout Alaska. Juneau will vast revival meeting under canvas, equipped with a genuine sawdust trail. But it is none of these, for new conditions invite new fads. This is a quest for the pot of gold at the end of life’s rainbow. ‘We are all of us much too prone to discover in the events we do not like the sinister figure of an alien fresh from Europe—just as though the whole | civilization and ideology of America were not origin- | | ally imported from the Old World. The fact is that | the Townsend conventon is the spirit inheritor of a | hundred freaks of the historical American imagin- ation. The country, despite unprecedented expenditures for popular education, has never lost that deep vein of gullibility which O. Henry described with such | charm in “The Gentle Grafter.” changed. city fellow who roamed the countryside with imitation Only the surface is gold watches, and sold them to wide-eyed yokels ror} fifty cents, by the light of a kerosene flare.

Only months of plain speaking, or perhaps a disastrous experiment in boot-strap | economics, will bring them to realize that their gold watches won't keep time. e i iy The danger of Europe at the crossroads seems to be that all parties claim the right of way.—(Louis- ville Courier-Journal.)

The report had stirred the Allied fleet lying off Cape Henry to great activity.

R. F. Lewis. owner of the Juneau Water Company, was coming to Juneau very soon according to an- nouncement made by John Reck. Mr. Lewis planned to take active charge of the new construction work of repairing the water system. The low pressure reservoir was complet- ed and the cement structure had been housed over and was ready to receive water. The Presbyterian mission boat Lois had returned to Juneau com- pleting a cruise of 1035 miles in Southeast Alaskan waters. The Rev. David Waggoner was aboard the boat. Graduates and other persons who had attended the University of Washington had been invited to a reunion picnic to be held August Between 60 and 70 names were on the list of invited guests.

After a morning of de- lays and disappointments, benefic aspects will be operative, it is pre- dicted. fer because of threatening stars that prevent captains of industry from enjoying the quiet of the Sab- bath. The clergy may find this a dull Sunday for excessive heat in many places will affect church attend- ance. doctrines, however, itself in the autumn. The stars favor association with men and women of affairs. Bene- fits through friendly contacts are prognosticated for many who en- joy vacation hospitalities. Women today are subject to k'nd- ly guidance. the appreciation of members of the family. It is a favorable day for entertaining friends. Girls may expect romance to blos- is to manifest tinues. but suitors may be more peristent than prosperous. Warning is given that strange ent social caste will be noticeable in coming months when old so- cial barriers will disappear. Widows are warned against for- tune hunters. Susceptibility tn the blandishments of youths is b dicated by the stars. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of changes in business or social ties. Dangers ers. ably will be exceedingly fond of adventure and travel. Subjects of this sign usually are exceptionally bright and able to make much of their experiences. F. Marion Crawford, American novelist, painter and scientist, was born on this day 1854. Others who| have celebrated it as a birthday in-| clude Samuel E. Pingree, onctime governor, 1832; Elisha Gray, inven- tor, 1835. MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 1936. Threatening stars are discerned in the horoscope for today when there may be widespread ill-feeling, political and social. The tendency may be to see faults instead of virtues. Danger of too much plain <pPak< ing is discerned by the seers who foretell difficuities connected with radio broadcasts. Libel suits are foreseen Under this configuration sensa- tional revelations affecting business and governmental affairs are prog- nosticated. Public moneys wasted recklessly are to be a subject heat- ed discussions among leaders many parts of the country. ‘Women today are subject m sin- ister planetary influences which seem to forecast loss of prestige and power in both business and politics. Astrologers long have rore!old sex rivalries in shops, offices and factories. America is not immune to the signs that have affected the women under the Hitler rule in Germany. Good luck for a labor leader may be expected, if the stars are rightly interpreted. He will advance sud- denly in well earned leadership. Uranus afflicting the Sun in- creases the difficulties under which many countries of Europe are now staggering. Turkey and Arabia also are under threatening plane- tary influences. Speculation will continue to at- tract attention. War possibilities will affect securities seriously in the coming autumn. Sporting inn- terests will be prominent and will signify much to those who see be- neath the surface. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of much enjoyment. Courtship and romance will engross the young, but there may be peril in impulsive marriag- es. Children born on this day prob- ably will be exceedingly clever in managing their lives. Subjects offgm this sign usually profit greatly through original ideas that are en- couraged by friends or supporters. Stanley Baldwin, British states- man, was born on this day 1867.
