In Venezuela, the U. S. Ambassador got wind of it and there was a hot exchange of cables, the United States pointing out that Ecuador had agreed to ship only to the U.S.A. In this case, the dis- puted quinine finally is being ship- ped from Venezuela on to this country. FEA contends that these leaks have been plugged since exclusive contracts were signed with Peru and Ecuador. However, the contracts were signed months ago, and the quinine is still leaking. Only quinine country where the leaks are legitimate is Bolivia, where no exclusive contract exists.

THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUN 20 YEARS AGO #Ts suprne o e et ittt} FEBRUARY 26, 1924 To meet if possible the demands being made for Alaska reservations 5y Eastern people, the Canadian National Railways were combing the Pacific Coast and elsewhere for a vessel suitable for their service on the roastwise run, according to W. G. Johnson, Manager of the Juneau | Jardware Company, who returned home from a several weeks' stay in he South. Mr. Johnson had seyeral talks with the Canadian National’s raffic officials and was assured it would enter the field this season if sossible. ‘' Delayed 12 hours by stormy weather, the Alaska Steamship Com- »any’s liner Alaska arrived in port. The trip across the Gulf of Alaska was one of the stormiest of the winter, a high southeast wind and remendous seas cutting down the steamer's speed. Under the direction of Dorothy Stearns, several youthful students were to appear in the Girls' Glee Club show of the Juneau High School which was scheduled for March 7 at the Coliseum Theatre. Proceeds ‘or the show were to go toward sending the local school delegation to he Inter-School Meet at Ketchikan in April. J. S. Morgan, who had been engaged in the transfer business at Juneau for many years, had disposed of his business, selling out to Olaf Bodding, who had been in his employ for sometime. Ludwig Nelson, well known Juneau jeweler who returned recently from the States, had accepted a position with the Nugget Shop. Fred McClashen, Manager of the Goldstein Glacial Fur Farm at Mendenhall, returned here after a two months’ absence in the States.
