The Empire modestly takes a bow. We call it free education. But many parents are thinking, oh, yah?, these days as they “shower down” for book deposits, new shoes, new clothes and what have you as their “pride and joy” marches off to school. After all, the weatherman is a pretty good sorh.’ He gave us good weather for the week-end and started the children off to school with rain so they wouldn't feel so bad while looking out the windows.

CORDOVA FUNERAL HELD MAKE IT A HOLIDAY WEEK AND ATTEND THE FAIR The Labor Day holiday is over and today the trek was back to school. To the majority of youngsters it means the end of a glorious vacation; to others it is thrill of starting to school and mingling with theil associates. The first week of school is like that. They like it and they don't like it. Fitting in admirably with that scheme of things is the fact that the South~ east Alaska Fair is on this week, opening tomorrow. This year there will be a number of new and entertain- ing features; the sort of entertainment the youngsters will like. So that the holiday spirit will continue during the week that school starts why not make it a point to go to the fair this year and take the youngsters. They will enjoy it and you will enjoy it. As the Fair management gets ready to swing open the door at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, there is ample indication that the 1937 Fair will be one of the best from point of entertainment Juneau has had for years. Considerable money has been expended in getting performers from the States. These ~Zupled with local features promise a first rate show. Juneau and the Gastineau Channel community should not pass up the opportunity to give it full support. Attend the Fair at least once during the next four days, more times if you can—and take the youngsters. e WE TAKE A BOW We are in receipt of a copy of the Ogden, Utah Standard-Examiner, an outstanding daily newspaper of that city, in which Mr. Frank Francis, its Associate Editor, in*Mis interesting ¢olumn “News and Views,” passes us out the following orchids: Before me is the “Daily Alaska Empire,” a paper of 28 pages. In makeup and news treatment it would be acceptable in any city in the United States. I am surprised that Juneau supports a pub- lication of such size and merit. One of the inside pages is devoted to a,well illustrated story on “Glimpses of Game” in Alaska, with a column given over to fox farm- ing which is declared to be profitable. In ten years, according to a summary, $24,166,000 in furs have been shipped from Alaska. Last year the Territory sent out fish and fish products worth $51,971,000. Millions in gold are produced by the placer and lode mines. ‘That is the country the purchase of which by the United States in 1867 for $7,200.000 was referred to as Seward's folly.
