IN the hour OF his greatest triumph,
when a dIsunited nation was about

knit together the fragments Of di-

Even before he left his home il
Springfield, Illinois. for the national
capital he was marked for ASSESSING

track at a point on the railroad near
the line between the States OF Illinois

Alaska Light and Power Company

As men are known by their fruits, city is we'll lighted. presenting an at tractive appearance within its gates, it leaves an impression which en- dures long after other phases or feat gotten.
 The difference between a well lighted and an indifferently lighted home is analogous to the contrast be- tween the man with a smile and the man with the grouch. One eman- ates cheerfulness; the other is not nearly so inviting.
 Juneau Is unquestionably better supplied with electric power, both for lighting and manufacturing purposes, than any city in Alaska. The supply is unlimited and the rates are mod crate.
 Electric lights combine economy, efficiency and simplicity. There could be no greater proof of the hope fitness of the city's prospects for de velopment in the future than the ex- penditures and improvements made by the Alaska Electric Light & Pow CT Company.
 When one stops to recall the days when candles and kerosene lamps were the only artificial light available in the Channel towns, it is not diff cult to estimate the importance of the step made in development in the Capital City when the Alaska Light and Power Company established it's large plant in Juneau.
 Every house in the city of Juneau is wired for electricity. It is used for lighting and heating purposes, and its use for cooking is becoming common. The company has kept easily abreast of the demands of a growing city, as well as standing prepared to supply the mines as power is re- quired
 The unusual success of the con- pany has been due largely to the ef- -f6rtS 0i +. r. Margrie, its manager. who came to Alaska at the age of twenty-seven in the employ of the Treadwell Company. Mir. Margrie es- tablished the electric power plant at Treadwell, and installed the first arc and incandescent lighting system in the mine.
 The Juneau plant was constructed in 1914, all of the old machinery be- ing discarded and the very latest mod

 6. The season for killing goats in Southeastern Alaska Is hereby limited to the period from August to Feb ruary l. both inclusive.
 Excellent Accommodations at Juneau
 Sportsmen can find excellent hotel accommodations. stores stocked with everything that sportsmen might re- Quire, launches. boats, guides, and all that will be necessary to contribute to successful and comfortable hunt ing or fishing trip at Juneau.

els of generators and steam turbines being installed in their place. The plant is operated by water power for seven months out of the year, and by steam during the winter. The es- timated cost of the new building and equipment is $S5,0O0.
 When the first electric lights were installed here it was an event for the natives, and they came in scores with their friends to show them the light that would light" without matches and the turning on of the current never failed to astonish con- pletely the uniniated redskin. Their inability to understand the inner workings of electric lighting systems led the Indians to speak of electric light as The High Ast Moon,'
 The Alaska Electric Light and Power Company furnishes day power at 5 to 10 cents per kilowat, the rate being modified according to the quantity used. The company is con- posed of John F. Malony. President; i; J. P. Corbus, Treasurer; and E. J. Margrie, Manager.

poses in Alaska is valued at more than $15.OO0.OOO a year tells the story in such manner that elaboration is unnecessary, except to say that Southeastern Alaska is the principal production section.
 OPEN SEASONS FOR GAME
 The law provides the following game seasons:
 Latitude sixty-two degrees, brown bear may be killed at any time; moose. caribou, sheep. walrus, and sea lions from August first to December tenth. both inclusive: south of lati- tude sixty-two degrees, moose cari- bou and mountain sheep from August twentieth to December thirty-first, both inclusive; brown bear from Oc- tober first to July first, both inclus- i've; deer and mountain goats from April first to February first, both in- elusive; Provided, That no caribou shall be killed on the Kenai penin- sula before August twentieth, nine teen hundred and twelve.
 It is unlawful for any nonresident of Alaska to hunt for any of the game animals except deer and goats, without first obtaining a hunting license, or to hunt on the Kenai Peninsula with out a registered guide. These licens- es are issued by the Governor, and he should be communicated with by any nonresident contemplating hunting for game in Alaska. The governors office is located at Juneau, and hunt CTS can find him there.
 The Department of Agriculture re- gently issued the following circular amending previous regulations, con- corning game in Alaska:
 The regulations for the protection of deer, moose. caribou, sheep, and mountain goats in Alaska, as amend ed June 30, 1915. are as follows:
 The season for killing deer in South eastern Alaska is hereby limited to the period from August Is to Novem. Der l, both inclusive
 2. The number of deer killed by any one person during the open sea. son in Southeastern Alaska is here, by limited to three.
 3. The sale of deer carcasses in southern Alaska is hereby suspended until August 4, 1916.
 4. The killing of deer on Kodiak Island and Long Island and the killing of deer on the following islands in -Ssuthae stern Alaska: DUke-4slaRd, near Dixon Inlet; Gravina Island, near Ketchikan; Kruzof Island, west of Sit ka; Suemez Island, near Klawak; and Zarembo Island, near WrangelI, is hereby prohibited until August l, 1916.
 The killing of caribou on the Renal Peninsula is hereby prohibited until August 1, 1916.

ty years ago from Aontana. Mr. Ma lony opened law offices. praeticing by himself at first. and then going into partnership with Judge John R. Winn. During the many years of his practice of law he has been as sociated with various of Juneau's prominent citizens. among whom are Oscar Foot and J. H. Cobb. With the latter he practiced . decade and a half.
 Mir. Malony's first mining interests were. connected with the property at Sheep Creek which has since been ta- ken over by the Alaska Gastineau Company.
 Thoroughly an Alaskan, MT. Ma lony has kept all of his interests in this Territory, and several years ago he established the most efficient light and power plant in the Terri tory. The Alaska Elictric Light and Power Company which has put Ju- neau on the basis of strictly mod ern city in it's street and house lighting.
 Real estate has also played an important part in the interests of this Juneau pioneer and he is at pres ent the owner of several valuable tracts of land in the city, as we'll as of various business properties. Per haps the most important of these last is the Malony block which was built several years ago and which occu- pies one of the best corners in the city. It was recently improved at large cost and is one of Juneau's popular office buildings.
 popular office buildings. He also owns many other business houses and many residences all of which are occupied.
 Last year Mir. Malony, in partner ship with J. H. Cobb, opened and put on the market the Gold Belt Addi- tion to Juneau. a tract which has proved to be popular and most de sirable residence section of the city and which overlooks the channel both east and west, as we'll as atfording a splendid view of the Gold Creek Bas- in and mountains.
 A cannery at Point Ward, near Wrangell, with the usual impedi- menta of fishing boats and equipment forms another of MT. Maloney's inter- ests.
 On the whole, one is justified in saying that no other citizen of Jul neau has more varied interests in the city and no other man has done more toward giving the city better equipment in so many lines. MT. Ma, lony is one of the Juneauites who have made the town prosperous by investing all of their money in the city and near it, so that their accu. mutations continue to work for Al. aSka.

Henry Shattuck came here from Oregon in 1897, and has been a contin- uous resident of this city since that time. He invested his earnings and profits in the city. and early became one of the important factors in the creation of the modern city of Juneau. He has been active in civic matters, United States district court.
 MT. Shattuck engaged in the steam boat business in 1905, and operated the steamer Georgia on the Skagway and Sitka runs in connection with its present owners.
