George Max Esterly, the we'll known mining man passed through Juneau yesterday on his way home to Seattle having closed operations for the summer on the Nizina.
 Mir. Esterly always has a story or two up his sleeve for the newspaper men and his friends. He is said to be the only man in Alaska who can talk for four hours straight without interest even Tagging. In fact, one of his Alaska friends offered to form a syndicate and have him talk for photograph records and divide the royalty, but MT. Esterly refused to have his conversation syndicated.

BABY SAVING and I
CHILD WELFARE Ex-
HIB|T MARCH 14-16
In Aldermen's Room at City
Hall, under Auspices of Pa
rent T e a c hers Association
Through Courtesy Of State
Board of Health

The president and national chairman
of civics. home economics and public
health Of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs are calling upon the
women OF the clubs to help in holding
a nationwide Baby Week Campaign
this spring. The children's bureau will
assist in this and many national and
state organizations have promised
their help and interest. The Augusta
Parent Teachers Association, in join
ing in this movement. will present the
State Board Of Health Baby Saving
and Child Welfare Exhibit in this city
on March 14th. 18th and 10Th.
This is one Of the very best exhibits
in the country, and no one interested
look this splendid opportunity Of en-
larging their knowledge of conditions
and how to better them. DR.. Young
has taken keen and scholarly inter-
est in having this the best possible
and the most helpful to all those who
have to do with the care and training
of children. One Of the very greatest
problems confronting our country to-
day is that of arousing the parents
and the communities to the realizing
sense Of the needs Of their little chill
dren.
1t Is a sad commentary that in the
United States each year there are
more than 100000 baby deaths, when
at least half Of these could be pre-
vented; and of those who survive
many thousands drag through life
handicapped because of improper care
in infancy. An exhibit Of this sort is a
genuinely constructive force, for it is
difficult to conceive Of subject more
important to the life and forward
movement Of city than the protection
and the physical and moral develop
ment Of it's children. This is an oppor-
tunity for those who attend the eXhib-
it to secure for no cash outlay the
fruits of the study Of the best child
specialists in the country. and no
young mother should overlook this
chance of broadening and charging
her viewpoint along these vital lines.
A lecture will be given in the Assem-
bly, hall at Cony High school on Tues
day evening. March 14th, by the State
lecturer of the State Board Of Health,
Mrs. D. B. Weeks.
A great deal of literature has been
prepared by the Children's Bureau in
Washington. which may be had for
postage, and an officer of the Augusta
Parent Teachers Association. Mrs. D.
| w. Adams has a large number OF
pamphlets which have been issued
along these lines.
All the exhibits and lectures which
have to do with this movement will
be free of charge. and the public is
earnestly requested to take advantage
of the opportunity provided by this
means AT all of the exhibits there
will he members Of the Parent Teach
ers Association, who will be only
/ too glad to assist in explaining any
thing that may be of interest to the
visitors. On Tuesday the exhibit will
be open in the aldermens room at City
hall from 2.3O to $50 p. NJ. and or
Wednesday and Thursday from $50 tc
! $50 p. M.

LETTER sErRAYs HIM
Alleged Forser Caught Through Let
ter Written to Augusta Girl

The Portland Press of Tuesday con-
tanned the following in connection with
its account of the arrest on the White
Star liner Irishman Of one William j.
MUSE. who was wanted by the Great
Northern Paper Co. on the charge of
forgery, the arrest having been made
Monday on the arrival of the liner at
Portland and after MUSE had been
identified by private detective in the
employ Of the paper company. MUSE Is
said to have come into Portland har-
Dor in the guise Of a returning horse
tender after a trip to France:
1T is alleged that the man MUSE
was employed as a cook at the Great
Brook and that while there he pre-
pared a bogus time bill which he sue
ceeded in cashing through a trader in
a nearby town. He disappeared from
Old Town Jan. 10, and the detective
from the paper company got on his
trail just too late as he afterward
learned that the man had shipped from
here as a horse tender on the Irish
man Jan. 81. In the interim he stayed
around Augusta and as MUSE had a
lady friend there, it was thought that
through her he might be traced. He
wrote a letter from France and this
letter which the detective saw told the
whole story Of the mans wanderings.
but said nothing as to what started
him off so quickly. The detective, as
stated, came to Portland when he
learned the Irishman was close by and
when the steamer came in he quickly
captured the man he was after"
