COMING FOR
 GOLDSTEIN BUILDING

The lumber for the temporary Gold stein building to be erected on the Me Grath property, will be shipped on the Northwestern and should arrive here in few days. The land on which it is to be erected has been cleared of all debris with which 1t has been encountered and construction will be- gin immediately on the structure. It is expected that it will be completed and occupied in May and that the work of removing the present Gold stein store buildings will be under way so that an early start may be made on the Goldstein Improvement company's five story concrete struc- ture that is to be erected on the site of the old building.
 The Goldstein Improvement com pany's building bonds are being rap idly taken and applications are re- ceived in every mail for the choise se- curities that are real money earners. There are some of the 4-. D., and Swear bonds still available. They all draw ' per cent. interest, payable semi.an- nually and all are in denomination of $1OO each, with interest coupons at tached.

JUNEAU FANS MUST
 PROVIDE GROUNDS

Juneaun baseball fans are up against
 the proposition of providing baseball grounds if they want to see baseball at home during the approaching sea-
 son. The old grounds lying within the ICasey.Shattuck addition are plotted in- to town lots and on the market for sale. AS yet no deal is on for that particular portion of the new resi- dence tract. but there is no reason why q deal may not be made most any day. It requires, according to Richard Wul- zen. who is not only an authority on baseball but a civil engineer as well, about eighteen lots to provide grounds that will be acceptable for the great national game. The owners of the Casey-Shattuck addition have agreed to take $1O,OOO for the required eight cen lots comprising the old grounds and new extensions that should be added to round them out.
 It has been suggested that the town get together and form an association for the purpose of raising the neces- sary money to buy these grounds or enough land in some nearby section to lay out new ones. It is thought by forming small corporation enough money will be subscribed to buy this property and put 1t in first class con- dition. Those who are talking about the matter now say that if the Casey Shattuck land is purchased it is likely that the diamond and field will be re- versed. the grandstand moved from the beach to the outskirts of the pres. ent centerfeld and a new infeld ere ated. It is said that this will be a great improvement. It will be neces- sary also to build fence around the grounds and to charge admission for all of the games.
 It is known that other lands are available. but it is questionable wheth- CT they can be cleared and gotten in- to shape for this seasons sport. An other thing is the expensive feature of clearing raw land all at once. It means dipping into the clearing bus mess pretty hard. At all events some thing will have to be done along the lines of finance if Juneau witnesses any baseball at home this coming sum- mer.

MAReoNI PEOPLE ARE
 PLANNING BIG THINGS

The Marconl Wireless Telegraph company is working fast on it's plans to cover all Pacific ocean points with complete service. Recently 1t en. tered into an agreement with the Western Union for an exchange business, and it is erecting a seriq of high power stations for the pug pose of transmitting and receiving dis patches.
 D. l. Moir. of the company. was re. gently at Juneau for the purpose of making the plans necessary for the establishment of a 1O.kil6watt station here. New receivers have been tested at the local station and messages sent out by the San Francisco station re- ceived without difficulty.
 To Compete with Gable.
 In speaking of the plans of the com. pany the Seattle Times says:
 "A portion of the scheme of the Mar conf Wireless Telegraph Co includes the establishment of better communi, cation between Seattle and Alaska in direct competition with the present military cable, the rates on which are high.
 Tt is probable that the Seattle sta tion will be located on some tall build ing and if so about S4,OOO will be ex- pended on 1O.kilowatt plant. At As. toria a 25.kilowat plant will be erected at cost of $25,OOO. There will be a 25.kilowatt station at Ketchikan and a 1O.kilowatt station at Juneau.
 Under the new system telephone messages sent in to the Western Union will be turned over to the wireless sta tion at Seattle and relayed through Astoria to Alaska, or across the At; lantic or Pacific as the case may be.
 "Vice-President Nally announced in San Francisco that he expected sta tions now under construction in the Hawaiian Islands, Japan and Asia to be ready for business in April. Hlth- erto, he said, the only communication with Asia and the Pacific Coast has been by the cables of the Commercial Cable Company, affiliated with the Pos. tai Telegraph Cable Company"
