History of Case.

 Dunn found conditions intolerable at the cannery. and it became known that he was trying to run away. The Jap bookkeeper took shot at him to frighten and dissuade him from at tempting it. but a week later Dunn was suspected of trying to get away on boat which was then at the can nery

Jap foreman under whom Dunn worked concluded to make an example Of ,ne white boy, as, it was alleged the contract with the company was such that if one of the crew quit none of them would receive any pay, He sent two of his countrymen up to the bunkhouse to bring Dunn out.

money will be expended in Juneau, for la Dor and supplies; it means @ material in crease in the amount of money in circula- tion in this community; it means new life, new energy, and great stimulus to the busi- ness interests of Juneau, and, what is more important, the building of hundreds of new homes and the rapid growth of Juneau as a city About two years ago the Alaska Gas tineau mine began development operations on a scale similar to that now being under taken by the Alaska-Juneau mine. The re suit has been that Juneau has doubled in size and population in the last two years and real estate values have fully hebled during the same period. This is a concrete illus
 tration of the meaning of such unusually large expenditures on the improvement of industrial conditions of the community. The development of the Juneau mine is more likely to bring about rapid growth in popu- lation and increase in real estate values than the improvement of the CAastneau mine was calculated to do The latter mine is located about three and one-half miles from Jul
 neau, while the Alaska Juneau mine is really a part of Juneau proper. The Gastin- eau company built bunk houses at the mine where their employees lived during the pro gress of construction and where they will

continue to live in the future. If the Alas ka-Juneau mine follows this course it's bunk houses will be part of the city of Ju- neau itself, and if it does not see proper to construct along these lines a portion of it's employees will be distributed among the homes, hotels and rooming houses of the city, while a large number will build homes of their own. This will make the rise in values much more pronounced and rapid than in the last two years

sO,35s FORD CARS
IN TWO MONTHS.

In the last two months the Ford
Motor Company has produced the
enormous total Of 90,359 cars, this
including 43,849 cars in March and
46,510 cars in April This not only
insures the completion of the produc-
ton of 100000 Ford cars, btween Au-
gust 1914 and August 1915, barring
the totally unforeseen, and the rebat-
ing Of all Ford purchasers within that
period, but it means that the goal will
undoubtedly be reached before the pro-
missed time, August first. In fact,
the three hundred thousanth car will
probably leave the Ford assembly
early in July and the production pace
viii continue almost unabated, so
tremendous is the demand this year
the world over for Ford cars.
Then on August first will begin the
task of rebating about S15,000,000 to
Ford purchasers in accordance with
the terms of the Ford ofit-sharing
Each Of the 100000
or more Ford purchasers will be mail

HOW THE WAR. THREATENS
ENGLISH FREE TRADE.

The sad plight of single Eng
fish industry threatens to end Eng
lands career as a free trade country.
The users Of dyes in England employ
nearly 100000 persons. AS all
dyes have been imported from Ger
many, and the supply cut off by the
war, this army of workers is in seri-
GUS danger Of becoming pauperized.
England, Of course, might make
her own dyes, but capital with which
to set up the necessary plants is lack
ing for the reason that as soon as
the war ends it would have no pro-
lection against experienced German
competition without legislation inn
posing duty on the foreign product.
What will the Government do now
to save itself from discredit and
to save the dye-using Industries Of
Great Britain from little short Of dis
aster?
That is the question which is being
asked in all parts of the country?
At present something like con-
sternation exists among dye users,
who employ about 100000 persons
in various trades, for without dyes
many branches Of manufacture will
be crippled, and at present only about
four months supply of dyes remains
in the country. The present home
output is far too small to meet the
needs of trade.
Unless a tariff were imposed at the
end of the war, German dye manu-
facturers would food England with
dyes at prices with which no British
company could compete, and it is held
by business men to be foregone con-
clusion that in that event British
Dyes, Limited, would rapidly become
bankrupt, and their whole capital
would be lost.
BY promising protective tariff the
Government could secure the REQUIRE
capital for British dyes without diff
Guilty or delay.
Will the British Government over
throw its whole foreign trade policy
to meet this emergency? That may
proved to be one of the extraordinary
changes wrought by the war.

FATHER TIME is DEFIED BY
PAIR AGED 101 AND SO.

JOPLIN, Mo-, May saga defied
Father Time, when William l.. Miller
gray-bearded centenarian, and Mrs
Nancy Pike, go, marched down the
aisle of the First M. e. Church be-
fore 200 persons and were married
by the Rev. Charles Franklin.
This was the third matrimonial
venture for the sprightly bridegroom
who is 101 years old, and the charac-
terized it as I'm used to it." Mrs,
Miller said this was the first time
that she had ever cried before her
wedding, but then it was happiness
which caused the tears.
The aged couple were driven to the
justice Of peace's Office in motor
car, as they wished to be married ac-
cording to modern style. However
when the license was obtained, Miller
attempted to coax the justice into
tying the nuptial knot, despite the
fact the the clergyman and people
were waiting at the church.
! Mixer was born in 1914, and has
been making his living here several
years by gardening. When selling
sassafras and vegetables to Mrs.
Miller here few years ago, he met
her. Not long ago when she was in
the city a friend in a Joking way
suggested that they get married.
Both followed the suggestion and a
rapid fire courtship followed. Mrs.
Miller had been married twice be-
fore.
Both are perfectly happy. When
they were picking their way through
a crowd at the door of the Justices
Office, they were smiling. Not once
did they falter, and in climbing the
stairway, the centenarian was UNI
usually spry. The couple will live at
1907 Bird street. Miller will con-
tinue his truck gardening, but this
time to support two instead Of ore.
