BRYAN WRITES OF
 PEACE TO FRENCH
--O-O-


 PARIS, Sept 12. - The illustrated newspaper Excelsior publishes a sym posium on The Hague Peace Palace, and includes a contribution by Will jam Jennings Bryan, in which the American Secretary of State says:
 "The movement in favor of peace in- .creases according to the elevation of the plane of intelligence and develop ment of the moral spirit under popular governments. Intelligence suffices to makes us understand what wars cost and to make us ashamed to have to settle our disputes on. the basis of brute force. For that basis should be substituted a spirit of morality and fra ternity."
 Among other contributors are Ste phen Pinchon, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs; Count Romannes, the Spanish Premier; President de Will anueva, of the Spanish Chamber of Deputies; Luigi Luzzatti, a former Premier of Italy, and Baron de Bro queville. the Belgian Premier

FURNITURE FIRM
 ESTABLISHED SOON

The new Garside building now well along in process of construction is one of the most substantial of the new and modern structures that are being erected in Juneau. The entire build ing is under lease to the Juneau Fur niture company, of which John P. Ben son and Wallis George are the con trolling spirits It is expected now that the building will be entirely fin ished by November 1.
 The building is 74x46 and two stor- ies in height, with a basement floor for heating plant only. It is built to suit the tenants and designed for both mercantile bushes and for offices. The office floor is reached from the Third street entrance on the west side. The main entrance to the store is on
 the corner of Third and Seward, while an entrance on Seward at the rear furnishes ingress to the shops.
 The dominant feature of the entire building is the excellent provision that has been made for light. There is hardly a spot on the whole building that will not have access to all the natural light that prevails. The walls of the lower story are to be fitted with heavy plate glass, clear as crys- tai, and every office has openings enough to provide flood of light.
 The entire lower floor with it's 1S foot ceilings is to be used strictly for the furniture display, with the excep- tion of the miZzanine floor where some excellent crockery will find a resting place.
 A large loft on the second floor will contain the carpet and rug department, house furnishings and draperies. This department is reached by an inner stairway broad and comfortable which also furnishes access to the balcony or mizzanine floor A passageway al- so connects this loft with the main hall of the upper floor offering double access in case of need.

THREE BIG CASES
 WILL BE TRIED
-O-O

It. is very probable from present in- dications that the three great trans portation cases not yet finally dis posed of will come up for trial in the December term of court and be placed on the docket for some time in Jan uary. The cases to be disposed of are the indictments against all of the transportation companies charging conspiracy in restraint of trade in viO- lation of the Sherman act; the indict- ment against the North Pacific Wharves and Trading company which was tried last winter, and in which the jury disagreed; and the indict- ment against the White Pass and Yu- kon, alone for unlawful discrimination in freight rates.
 Recently Judge R. w. Jennings over ruled the demurrer to these indict- ments and paved the way for a speedy trial All of the cases have been be- fore the supreme court and certain questions at issue passed upon.

SPOKANE CAPITALISTS
 GET HADLEY SHELTER
%

KETCHIKAN, Sept. S.-A deal has just been closed whereby the GIanby Consolidated Mining, Smelling & Pow CT Co.,, Ltd, have taken over the Had ley properties which have been tied up in the bankruptcy courts for sev- eral years last past The company will begin the development of these properties in the spring and get them in shape to ship ore to the 2.OOO-ton shelter at Granby Inlet, B. c. The smelter, 120 miles from Ketchikan. will be blown in early in the coming year.
 In addition to their property on Goose Bay, and these secured at Had ley, the company hold a large lime stone quarry on the British side of Portland canal from which the inten- tion is to ship about two hundred tons of rock per day for fiuxing purposes. Since it's organization in 1911 this com pany has been very successful in the reduction of low grade ores.
 The above contains some very good news for the mining people of this re- zion, demonstrating that the Granby Bay Consolidated Mining, Smelling & Power Company intends to do busi- ness in the Ketchikan mining district. There are millions of tons of low grade copper ores within a hundred miles of Ketchikan waiting for a nearby smelter operated by a responsible or ganization such as the Granby Con- solidated is.-Ketchikan Miner.

Attorney J. H. Cobb filed a writ of error with the supreme court within the specified time allowed allowed by law and Dis trict Attorney John Rustgard expected that the matter would come up for hearing before the supreme court in October of this year, but has just re- ceived cablegram advices from the At torney Generals office which state that the case has not even reached the dock etat yet.
 The supreme court calendar is all ready between three and four years behind in it's work and District Attor- ney Rustgard is advised that even if llC CoSC WClC uOChClCO It WOuAu DC several years before it could come up for a hearing unless it should be ad- vanced on the calendar over other

INLET
 WANTS POSTOFFICE


 Robert Bell, the we'll known Excur- sion Inlet canneryman, arrived in town on the Alameda this morning. MT. Bell is disappointed over not get? ting his commission to be postmaster at Excursion Inlet. He sent in a fine petition signed by several hun dred residents to have the postoffice established and all of the necessary credentials to have himself appointed postmaster. The department asknowl- edged the receipt of the petition and everything looked favorable, but few days ago a request came from the de- partment that he go out and take a new census of the place. He was asked to make a canvas and collect data about the families living there how many children in each family, their ages, conditions, etc. This was the last straw and MT. Bell has thrown up his aspirations to be postmaster.
 Speaking of the matter this morn ing MT. Bell said: "We employ $50 persons during nine months of each year; we pay direct taxes to the amount of $7,OOO each year besides the federal taxes which have not been we spend $25O,OOO annually in the conduct of our business; We pay out $1S,000 for wages alone each sea son, and yet we have to susidize pri- vate corporation to bring our mail to us. Yes, I've been a Democrat all my life, because I didn't know anything else or because I was 'agin' the gov Pm still against it."

RESULTS THAT MAY
 FOLLOW CHISANA STRIKE

The present stampede to Chisana will not prove a success for every in- dividual. No stampede ever did, and none ever will. But there is a cer tainty that gold strikes are great in- centives in opening new countries. Placer gold seems to be the lodestone to draw men into countries for more permanent development. Once a re- zion becomes occupied it is a matter of detail to work out the riches by slow and determined process. And there always are those who, after the rush and excitement are over, settle down to the heavier task of uncover ing the lasting properties.
 Every gold strike in the North has resulted in an area of 100 miles or more in diameter being prospected thoroughly. Oftentimes areas 200 miles in diameter are opened Far out from Dawson is a circle of activity today due to the strike within a stones throw of this city. Fairbanks is the center of widespread activity. The same may be said in respect to Nome and Iditarod. And not all is placer opened in those regions. Nome has found tin and other properties. Fair banks has opened coal and quartz. Dawson has done the same, and near ly every region can lay claim to some thing of great value being opened as a natural sequence to gold mining. The agricultural possibilities and tim bering must not be overlooked The Northland will be populated for all time, and gradually the number of homes will increase. In the Chisana, the copper will be the big asset after the placers are gone.
 Men disappointed in one thing will find another. The army which goes to prospect this winter will find op- portunities far from the barren and exposed mountain plateaus where James and party made the strike. The streams much lower down, in the tim Der belt, are inviting, and men who work there in many instances may be we'll rewarded. The Canadian side, says Dr. Cairnes, has the same for nation as the Alaskan, and prospect ors will do we'll to put in time on this side of the line.-Dawson News.
