ADMINISTRATION COAL LAND BILL IS INTRODUCED
MINERAL
 SPRINGS RESERVES

The local land office is in receipt of the first executive order to be issued by President Woodrow Wilson, reyok. ing withdrawals of public lands in AL aska, made by previous executive or ders. The order was made January 24. 1914, and reyokes withdrawals made under the executive order of March 2S, 1911, withdrawing "aIl tracts of public lands in the District of Alaska upon which hot springs or other springs, the waters of which possess curative medicinal properties, are To- cated, to the exent of 16O acres sur rounding each spring, in rectangular form with side and end lines eQuidis- tant, as near as may be, from such spring or group of springs" The or der revoking withdrawals so made ap- plies to lands within National forests.
 Under the different acts of Congress giving authority to the President to make withdrawals of public lands in certain cases. double withdrawals have been made in different sections of Alaska.
 The withdrawal of certain lands and the creating of National forest reserves has in Southeastern Alaska especially put a lot of land under the control of the forestry service. Afterward by executive order issued March 2S, 1911. the land surrounding hot and mineral springs was withdrawn from the con trol of the forest service. thus creating a reserve within reserve. The order just issued places the lands surround ing mineral and hot springs back in the hands of the forest service.
 Owing to the uncertain tenure of possession. parties who have estab- llshed themselves at certain of the hot and mineral springs of Southeast ern Alaska, have been loath to invest much money in permanent improve ments and as a consequence, save in few instances, the public, in need of such resorts, has been compelled to put up with many discomforts or to make journeys to the States. Under the order just issued the forest ser vice can make coptracts'that will give more security to tenants of such lands and encourage the making of suitable improvements that will rebound to the benefit of the public.

WHITE PASS ROUTE
 MAKES 1914 PLANS

Three things were brought out at the annual meeting of the sharehold- CTS of the White Pass and Yukon route in London: Despite the furious rate war on the Yukon last summer the company made more money than it made the year before; the rate war is likely to continue indefinitely, and the company passed it's annual divi- dend. The dividend was passed be- cause of the likelihood that the rate war will continue, and because it was regarded as likely that the company would have to engage in the passen' ger and freight traffic between skag' way and Seattle aud Vancouver.
 The report, which was adopted unani- mously, showed a profit of more than S2OO, ,OOO.
 The report stated that on the rail di' vision the company had carried 1O,S9S passengers and 51,517 tons of freight. The operating expenses of the rail di' vision shows a decrease of $42,S1S, as compared with the previous year, and a decrease of $1O9.446 as compared with 1910. As regards the river di' vision the fleet carried 4,917 passen gers and 16,72S tons of revenue freight.
 President o. L. Dickeson's speech showed that the increased business on the rail division was largely the re suit of the invasion of the lower Yu kon traffic with the new American steamers Alaska and Yukon, through which business was diverted to the up per river route.
 Mir. Dickeson indicated that the wal with the Northern Navigation com pany that prevailed on the Yukon riv CT last year will be continued this and his company will continue the ar rangement that 1t made last year tc carry most of its own through freight from Seattle to Skagway, and that il is considering putting passenger steam CTS on the run.

ISSUES
 BUILDING BONDS

The GOldstein Improvement Co, re- gently incorporated for the purpose of erecting a fOur-stOry concrete build. ing on the site at present occupied by the Goldstein stores. is making an is- sue of $6O,OOO first mortgage seven percent. gold bonds with the interest payable semi-annually. The bonds are serial and of uniform denomination S1OO each and in series maturing at the expiration of two, four, five, six, and seven years respectively, the mak- CT having the option of taking any or all at the expiration of four years. ov- CT half of the full issue has already been applied for, the subscribers be- ing all from Pacific Coast cities and considerable being taken in Juneau.
 Today the trust deed to the property which the building is to be erected, lots 5 and 6, block 2. Town of Ju- neau, was filed for record in the name of B. NJ. Behrends, as trustee for the bondholders. The tract is 1OOx1OO feet at the corner of Seward and Second streets and is considered one of the very best locations in Juneau.
 The building to be erected will be four stories and basement and of con crete. It is estimated that the struc- ture will cost between SSO,OOO and $9O.- 900. An insurance policy for $6O,OOO will be carried on the building alone. The S3O.OOO capital stock of the Im- provement company will be another asset which will give added security to the bondholders in addition to the insurance and the first mortgage on both the building and the land on which it will be erected.
 The building when completed will be occupied by the Goldstein stores which will move into temporary quar- ters across the street while the build ing is under way.
 MT. Goldstein said today that he in tended giving the people of Juneau an opportunity to take these bonds be- fore placing them elsewhere.
 It is expected to have the building well underway before June and to have it completed before the end of No vember next.
