summer of 1913 by the U. s. Bureau of Soils. looking to the possibility of the utilization of the kelp of the Pa cific ocean as an economic source of potash and other products. establish es the fact that the giant kelp beds of Alaska waters. known as nereocys- tis, is as available a source of potash salts as that of the more southern wa ters. Ashes of samples taken from Southeastern Alaska waters contained from 20 to 25 per cent. K2O and over 50 per cent. of their weight soluble salt. This kelp could be economical ly dried by the waste heat from cleo tric furnaces.
 It is but little known. but the an- nual tonnage of carbide and fertiliz- CT consumed on the Pacific coast runs into many thousands of tons. and none of 1t is manufactured in this western country. There are a few plants in the Eastern States, but not nearly enough to appreciably influence the world demand. So this great country would be helpless should our source of supply become involved in the great struggle now going on. From this point of view, it would seem the patriotic duty to make ourselves in. dependent as far as possible; and in the opinion of many experts, this can be accomplished nowhere in the coun try better than in Southeastern Al aska-
 It is the purpose of the Speel River Project to supply cheap electric pow CT for industrial and manufacturing purposes at Speel River. By cheaI power is meant not alone power fol the driving of the wheels of industry but power so cheap that it will dis place coal and fuel oil. The time is not far distant when this power vii be used for cooking our meals ant for the heating of our offices ant homes.
 For the people of Juneau it may b, interesting to know that electricit, at $500 per II. P. year is less thai one-tenth of one cent. per kilowat hour; and while for municipal purpos es it would not be possible to distri bute electricity at such low figures one cent per kilowatt hour woul, yield fair profit to the company.

 Cyanide.
 Among the supplies of greatest in terest to the gold mines of the west are cyanide and powder. At the pres ent time cyanide can be imported from London and sold in Seattle or Juneau for the same price as our home products, which has to be ob- tained from New York. The demand for cyanide will increase as the price is lowered. For instance, if the Tread we'll company were to cyanide its tail ings the cost of cyanide at its pres ent rate would be $164.OO0 yearly. This cyanide would be manufactured in AL aska for half of the above cost. With the price of cyanide reduced, treat ment of low grade ores becomes more profitable.
 Wood Pulp
 Five thousand horse power of cleo, tric energy could be commercially utilized by the establishment of a wood pulp industry. Such a plant re quires large quantities of clear water which is here available. free from damage suits for stream pollution For such an industry Alaska offers abundant timber. with adjoining wa ter powers and sulphur deposits. | keIp

Equal in popularity with the grocery department is the haberdashery, which is managed by MT. D. H. Delzelle, and which occupies one section of the store building, but Is separated from the grocery department by full height partitions extending from the rear of the store to within ten feet of the windows at front. This de partment carries a stock of general wearing apparel for men which ranks the store among the first haberdash- cries in the city.
 MT. Raymond has been in Alaska eighteen years and has been in his present association for five years. Previous to undertaking the manage ment of the store MT. Raymond's in- terests were concerned with the bro kerage business in connection with fishing and mining. The store at present draws trade from customers 150 miles distant, and is the oldest store in Juneau, though it has passed through several ownerships.
 Before becoming interested as the head of the H. J. Raymond Company, MT. Raymond was one of Alaska's most popular commercial travellers and merchant brokers. He knows ev- erybody and everybody knows him. and all like him. He has served on the Juneau city council, is progress i've. He is married and owns a hand. some home in Juneau.
