Construction Work STONED.

The cold weather of the past few
days has practically stopped all con-
struction work buildings In the out
the-pike district. That the layoff will
only be temporary is the conclusion
reached by the contractors as they
are expecting that next season will be
one OF the most progressive that has
been experienced in this locality for
many years. This fact they claim rs
due principally to many additions that
are opening up and in which many
homes will be erected during the com

THE NEED FOR HOUSES,
THE JUNEAU COMMERCIAL
 CLUB could have found no more

THE JUNEAU CC M NJ E X e A l.
 CLUB could have found no more
 useful field for it's activities had it tried ever so hard than it will find in it's effort to solve the question of housing the people of this city. The oyershadowing problem in Juneau just now is to find places in which its in habitants may live. It has been q pressing matter for more than year and it is now becoming acute.
 Juneau is passing through the pre- lminary processes Of a great devel- opmeut. If that development Is to reach the stage that Nature and the trend of commerce and industry have made possible. the city must find room to house the families. laboring men and business institutions that are here or knocking at our door. This is matter that is pressing for i'm mediate solution. Not only are we not prepared for the greater growth that conditions would warrant us in claiming. but We have already out grown the facilities that we have. The city is filled with people who cannot secure satisfactory living quarters.
 The Commercial Club Is moving in the right direction.
The Alaska daily empire., 1914-03-21

of Agriculture the plan of securing enough timber land and water power for the purpose of building immense pulp and paper mills near Juneau, but the department has given him no en- couragement. The Secretary of Az riculture says: "The present legisla- tion does not make it possible to is- sue permits for any of these purposes which are not revocable in the dis cretion of the Secretary of Agricul- ture."
 Capt. Sverdrup states in letter to District Attorney John Rustgard that he much prefers Alaska as the place for his enterprise but that this uncer- tain tenure offered by the government cannot be accepted.
 Russia offers splendid inducements for capital to invest there in the same lines of enterprise. The possible frui- tion of Secretary Lanes plan of creat- ing a development board for Alaska has encouraged Capt. Sverdrup to hold the matter in abeyance for time with the hope that a more favorable land system will be evolved for Alaska and that the capital he represents may be invested here.
 The Sverdrup enterprise calls for the expenditure of S3,OOO,OOO and the building of a plant that will employ 1000 men continually. It also in- cludes a system of reforestration of the lands sought to be obtained for timber. hence the necessity of having absolute title or a leasehold with ab- solute control that would warrant the investment of this capital.

No HOPE. .EoR DEPOSITION UNION
THoSE PEOPLE who are talking
 so much about the possibility of ~ a,so,+;,c, tbo Democratic party

THOSE PEOPLE who are talking
 so much about the possibility of
 defeating tho Democratic party if only the Republicans and Progress ives would unite are looking at things from the anything to win stand point or they are whistling to keep up their courage. They are not, at least looking the situation squarely in the face. One had as well try to fuse oil and water as to try to get Taft and Norris, for instance, on the same platform. If the Progressives should retire from the field practically all the independent voting element that they have attracted would go to the party of the administration.
 In New York the other day the Dem- ocratic and Progressive members of the Legislature united and elected q State Treasurer to succeed the late J. J. Kennedy. The new Treasurer, H. D. Mccall, is a Progressive and was the candidate of that party for Secretary of State. In New Hampshire the Pro gressive members of the Legislature joined in electing a Democratic Cover nor and a Democratic Senator. In Massachusetts the Democratic and Progressive members of the Lcgisla- ture are working together. In Utah they have about agreed to fuse for the purpose of wrestling the State from the control of Senator Shoot and the unholy alliance between the Re publicans and the Mormon church.
 The dissolution of any of the par ties of the opposition would add more to the strength of the administration party than to that of any of the other parties.
