The various enterprises and exam ples of civic pride that are evineed in Juneau are remarkable for teir whole-heartedness and ability. Take for instance, the Juneau Fire De- partment, a purely volunteer concern, since the writer has come to Ju- neau, has been called out hundreds of times, and there has only been one building destroyed by fire since June, 1915, the month of our arrival. It is remarkable with what concert ed action the Juneau firemen work when called from all parts of the city to fight fires. It speaks VOL umes, not only for the willingness of the fire boys to serve but for their intelligence and ability. The Clean wishes to compliment the Fire boys of Juneau and will say that no place on the Pacific Coast or anywhere else on earth is there a better or more efficient fire brigade than here

but is there any evidence that the ma

for years. The Herald states a shaft
