A reception and dance was held during the afternoon. There were ‘230 aboard from Seattle and among the passenger was “Miss Alaska,” selected to compete in the bathing beauty contest at Atlantic City Representatives of five newspapers from the States and two from|’ Alaska were making the round trip to S8eward and return on the Alaska Steamship Company’s new steamer Alaska, The newspaper people were Eimer A. Friend of the Daily Alaska Empire; Mrs. J. W. Pritchett of the Wrangell Sentinel; A. Ottenheimer of the Tacoma Ledger; C. C. Murton of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and E. W, Knight of the Alaska Weekly. Since the creation of the Territorial Department of Education in 1917, the cost of maintaining schools in Alaska to the Territorial gov- ernment had been $2,012,031.71, according to figures made public by L. D. Henderson, Commissioner of Education. A large educational sign was erected at the block purchased in part by the people of Juneau for the site of a capitol building. The capitol building had the approval of the executive and legislative branches of the Federal Government and the Alaska Legislature, but thus far had not been acted upon. The total values recovered by the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com- pany for the first five months of the year 1923 amounted to $676,465.26, compared with $399,821.06 for the same months of ¥922. Master Joe Reidi entertained a bunch of little friends by way of celebration of his fourth birthday at his home in Douglas. Belle Cashen celebrated her birthday by entertaining a number of her young friends at her home in Douglas. Weather was generally cloudy with a maximum temperature of 54 and a minimum of 40.

It is a date tempting for initiative but most unfavorable. | HEART AND HOME: Women may be nervous and apprehensive { while this configuration prevails. This is a day for routine work and mental discipline. There may be | variable ideas about plans for the |future of the family as mothers look forward to the end of the war. Those who read the stars repeat that, while 1943 will be decisive, there <probably will be no peace until several years have passed and the conflict has changed American life more than could be imagined a decade ago. + BUSINESS AFFAIRS: With every one working, business will continwe brisk and much money in cireulation wHl cause definite in- flation. As the dollar buys less, Americans will pay little attention to appeals for drastic economies and with a few comments on the high cost of living will continue their old patterns of everyday exist- ence, Many novel substitutes for commodities, will . tempt shoppers today.
