IMPORTANT MOVE
 IN REAL ESTATE

The subdivisionai survey and plat of the Golden Belt Addition to the city has ben completed, and the lots will be put on the market at once, This property, which was patented about two years ago, compromise some of the finest building sites in Juneau, and it's coming into the mar ket at this time will, to limited eX- tent, relieve the demand for residence lots, which has so far exceeded the supply. There are, however, only twenty-nine lots in the subdivision most of them fronting on the new street named Golden Belt avenue which has been laid out through the addition. These lots are about all the really desirable sites for homes that are left, and they will undoubtedly be taken up by home-seekers in a very short time. Six have already been spoken for. The subdivisional survey and plat is the work of Lang Cobb, who will have the handling Of the property for the owners.

JUVENILE COURT
 BILL PASSES HOUSE

Shoups Juvenile Court bill passed the House yesterday, but not without a struggle. The final vote was not ta- ken until the House as committee of the whole dissected the proposed law and passed on it section by sec tion.
 The author led the argument for it's adoption setting forth it's virtues as a help to the humanitarian move ment that snow abroad in the land. It provided security for children in the formative period of character building: children should be trained not punished. Juvenile offenders were not all susceptible to reform, yet the greater number who have become de- prayed by evil environment can be morally improved by proper methods. Delinquency, it was argued, is due to environment rather than to innate ten dencies. The remedy is to change en- vironment and train children to obed- fence to law and order. Fixed sentenc- es are inadvisable because each indi- viduality is different.
 There should be institutions with discretionary powers Under the bill the board of guardians can appoint agents in every locality and arrange with in- stitutions so that juvenile courts can know where to commit delinQuents. By giving existing courts authority in the matter advantage is taken of ex- isting machinery and the Judge is al ways present.
 Ingerson opposed the bill, saying that it should not be rushed through. He wanted to delay action on account of possible legal points that had not been properly considered.
 Mr. Gafrney said that he did not believe there was any burning neces- sity for a passage of the bill at this time.
 Mir. Aldrich opposed the measure because Indian children were included and offered an amendment covering that point but was defeated.
 The bill was warmly supported by Speaker Collins, and Representatives Jones. Burns and Driscoll.
 On final passage everybody voted for it except Gaffney.

stitch narrow folds of the chambray, 1--WE

and finish with French seam. When
Numbered, the effect IS pretty.
Sew strong and rather coarse rick-ra ok
braid on the inside rufle Of all your
white petticOats. This braid will stand
hard wear, and will prevent the edge of
the rutilc from fraying. Be sure to have
this braid come to the edge of the outside
ruffle, so that it will protect the delicate
lace and embroidery. The bottom of
skirts will wear as long as the tops when
this braid is used.
Crepe de chine petticoats are being
worn in place Of the white or pale toned
satin for evening dresses. They will
launder and are more clinging than satin
or charmeuse.
Nothing for practical wear could be
more attractive than the petticoats made
of soft finished messalinc, crepe de chine.

(TO BE CONTlNUED)
PROFIT FROM AN ACRE OF ONIONS.

In the current issue OF Farm and Fire
side appears the story of Mr.. V. Green, a
Colorado rancher, who raised onions
against the advice Of all his neighbors.
while they, his ncighbors, grew canta-
loups. Following Is an extract
Back home in Maryland Mr. Green
had been truck-farmer and had found
onions iirst-rate crop. So when he
came to Colorado in 1911 and rented a
iive-acre young apple orchard on the basis
Of using the 'middles' for truck in return
for caring for the trees, his first thought
was onions The neghbor, hearing that
the newcomer contemplated raising on
ions FASTENED to assure him with en-
phatic unanmity that onions could not
be grown successfully in that locality
OF what followed Mr. Green tells in his
own way:
In October | plowed them out. top
ped them and put them in one-hundred-
pound sacks There were nine tons. They
ran so evenly they needed almost no sort
ing. The nine tons were sold to the stores
and private parties at an average of two
and one-half cents a pound, $50 being re-
ceivcd for the crop After deducting IS
for seed. s25 for help and s23 for two
whcel-hoes and n seed-dril ! had a net
profit from the acre of 1894.
As for tho four acres of cantaloups,
shipped my yield, along with some thou
sand other growers, to eastern markets
1t happened to be a good year for conta-
loups and poor year for cantaloup
prices. The bottom fell out of the mar
ket in mid-season. The growers gnor-
ant of the fact, kept on shipping. and
when the final returns We're in, found
they had not got their box material back
on part OF their shipments. AS a con-
sequence, they barely came out even on
their crop. Though | did little better
than some OF my neghbors. if it hau not
been for the acre of onions I should have
had little to show for my summers la

GERMAN COINS AND FRENCH PRIDE

(From the Cincinnati Times-Star)
The design on new coin very fire.
quently invites criticism in the country
in which it clrculates, but 1T is not often
that 1t gives offense to another nation
This has happened however, in the case
of a series of coins issued i'm Germany
in commemoration of the centenary Of
the uprising Of the German States against
the Napoleonic domination. The coins in
question display upon the diverse an
eagle holding in it's talons snake, which
typines Germany and the serpent appar-
emily represents Napoleon. But Napoleon
was France and the French people Of
to-day have seen fit to take serious Of
Tense at a design which characteri2es
their nation as a despised reptile This
might be deemed small natter We're
the two nations on ordinary good terms
But coming at this time when the OLD
feeling of bitterness is again being dis
played in so many different ways. It
may have serious consequences. The in
formation that such coins have been is
sued has provoked feeling of indigna-
ton throughout France French pride
has been hurt, and tho affront is regard
ed as intentional and deliberate. Com
memoraton of an historical event in just
this way is seldom wise. From the point
of view of those Germans and those
Frenchmen who are striving to preserve
the peace it seems especially indscrect-
at this particular time.

Up in Canada a few years ago there
was a tide of emigration floating west

country Is being advertised, and the ad-
wee OF Horace Greeley is being translated
opposite to what he supposed was good
advice.
NOW there are many people who have
migrated from Vermont and never bet
tered themselves very much by so doing,
ana the state has lost by their going
away 1t was because these people were
lured by false representation that they
forsook their lot in Vermont and under

been done here with equal success had
the same industry and intelligence been
applied

REPUBLICAN REORGANIZiTI

(From the Boston RecordD
The decision of the Chicago conference
of progressive republicans in favor of
asking the national committee to call
convention for purposes of reorganization
and moderuizaton of the party, as soon
as feasible. was a foregOne conclusion.
The national committee can hardly DO
otherwise. 1t is probable that it had al
ready made up its mind TO something Of
the sort
The Republican party should make no
overtures to the bull moose for fusion of
the two parties. The bull moose do not
want it. and republicans seeking it would
be correctly accused Of trimming to win
voters. That is a false and fatal policy.
The Republican party has stood in real
need Of modernization, particularly in
regard to representation at its own ma
tional nominating conventions. But the
party has ideals to which it must be true,
and they do not include wholesale gulp-
ing Of the policies and beliefs of the bull
moose party
when the Republican party has held
the special national convention for which
Senator Root, Senator Crane and others
have sounded the call, admirably echoed
by Cumimns and his associates at chi
cago this week, the party will present a
clean appeal parallel with that Of the
bull moose. We believe that Hadley and
others of the progressive republicans will
not make any such blunder-a blunder in
principle and in policy as we'll If men,
bers of the coonel's party wish to re-
turn to the Republican party they will
do so as individuals, as they left it, and
in accordance with what the Republican
marty offers and promises
