est man in the town has lawn about as big as three bed quilts. and tourists are taken to see this as one of the sights of the city. Other fine homes are still higher up and some of them cling to the green wall of the mountains. I made 8 call last evening upon the editor of the Alaska Dispatch. To get to his home I had to climb a pathway several times as high as that which leads to the Tea House of One Hundred Steps above Yokohama, Japan.
 These houses of Juneau have no double windows or other spec:al, arrangements for winter protection. Nevertheless the people tell me they have no trouble in keeping warm. The thermometer seldom falls below zero, and the heavier water pipes are laid on the top of the ground The chief complaint is the long nights and short days. In midwinter the elec- tric lights have to be turned on two or three hours after noon,i and it is not day- light, until 9 o'clock in tll& lroisniug. 4a midsummer there are but few hours of real darkness. One can go anywhere until 10 p. m. without lights, and the dawn comes between 3 and O clock in the morning.
 The winter climate of Juneau satisfies even the negroes, who are supposed to be the children of the tropical sun I had my shoes shined this morning by a col ored bootblack, whose stand is on the main street He charged me 15 cents for the shine, and told rle that in the interior l shall have to pay not less than quarter. As he worked I asked him if the winter did not chill his African blood He replied no. adding that the winters here are quite as warm as those of Baltimore, where he was born, and that most of the time he does not need even an overcoat. He has lived four years in Alaska, and has worked as far north as Anchorage, where they are now laying out the new town at the end of our railroad. He complains that Juneau Is poor place for bovlblacks, except in the summer. The winters have so much rain that the people go about in oilskins and rubbers and no one wants a shine

 The Juneau of today has only 5000 in- habitants, but It's streets are as lively as those of a city of four times that number in the United States proper. Every man in the town is a hustler, and the place huns with politicians, lawyers, tourists and miners. The crowd is of all classes and of all sorts of dress.

Altogether there are at least 75,OOO people living within a redius of five miles of the courthouse, ErL the quartz mines alone are now giving employment to more than one third of that number The place is a great mining center and fishing center, it Is the chief port of Alaska, and it does business with every part of the territcry.

instructions From Governors
Island Modify All Previous
Orders
BIZ WARD GREENE
Journal star Correspondent.

CAMP HARRIS, Macon, Ca, July IL.
Orders have been received at Camp Har-
ris from Governors Island, stating that
no more national guards units will lie
moved from mobilization camps until
they are fully equipped. This is taken
to mean that the units now in Camp
Harris here must have an enlistment of
peace strength at least and that full
equipment is necessary for every enlist
ment each unit has before it can move.
AS every unit now in Camp Harris is
still lacking full equipment, the conclu-
sion is that none of them will be order
ed away for several days anyway. The
Second infantry had hoped to leave to-
day, but the order from Governors Is
land modides all previous orders. OFF,
GERS of the Second Squadron of cavalry
stated today that squadron lacks but
little equipment, mainly hats and shoes.
There are plenty hats and shoes in the
quartermaster's department, but the
sizes are limited and the men can't
be properly equipped until more sizes
come in. It is said that the Second in
fantry also lacks a few minor articles
OF equipment. So the First, the Fifth
and the battalion OF field artillery.
Until the needed articles are supplied.
no unit will even be reported ready, ac-
cording to the orders from Governors Is
land.

Cotton


NEW YORK, July 17.-Fears that the cot
ton crop had been injured by excessive rains
and floods in parts of the eastern belt. in
connection with uncertainty regarding the prob
able course Of the West Indian storm, caused
an active buying movement in the cotton mar
ket al the opening today. The tone was steady
with first prices 10 poins ne higher, which
carried October up to 1910, December to 1928
and January to 1898. Liverpool also showed
considerable steadiness and was a leading buyer
here Contracts were very scarce In the local
market and private cables Indicated similar
condition in Liverpool, with considerable ner-
yousness among parties who were short. The
strength of the stock market aided a bullsh
feeling here. but toward the end of the first
half hour selling orders increased, and with an
absence of outside speculative interest, the
market eased off about points from the high
est.
Further declines around midday carried Oc-
tober as low 1906; December 1922 and
January 1922, representing a loss of about s
TO 8 points from the early high level. 1t was
evident from the character Of the trading that
damage stories were not fully believed and there
was selling by Wall street and the south, to-
gether with further scattered offerings from
room traders.
