| am surprised at the sterling character Of
the people Of southeastern Alaska They
are as well educated and as well bred as
those of any part of the states More than
half OF the professional men are graduates of
colleges, and Juneau has a university club of
$50 members. The majority are from
western institutions, but Yale, Harvard,
Princeton and Cornell all have their repre-
sentatives The graduates Of the University
of Washington at Seattle came to dinner to-
gether the other day and IS sat down to the
table
The public schools are good, the high
school having its business branches with
courses in public speaking and mechanical
drawing and Of sewing and cooking as wen.
The high schools Of Juneau give their grad

as is often supposed. meet daily men who
have benin Alaska from IS to so years, and
find young men and women who expect to
spend their lives here. Such people are even
now buying homes here and paying for them
on the installment plan through the building

There is much civic spirit in Juneau and
the town believes in municipal ownership.
1t owns and operates the principal wharf
and it has its own fuel depot, where it sup
plies coal to the citizens at the rate of sic
per ton Before the city went into the coal
business coal was bringing $l4 ton, and at
the same time gasoline was selling at IS
cents gallon. The mayor began to sell in
competition and the price Of gasoline
dropped to p cents The city has also aided
in the building of a cold storage plant with
a freezing capacity Of $4,000 pounds day

Juneau has electric lights and waterworks

some distance up the side OF the mountain,
where a bed Of earth and stone has taken
the place of the piles. The street is about so
feet wide. Upon the earth and stone cross
beams OF rafters are laid, and three-incf

fitted together almost as closely as flooring.

the central roadway and sidewalks are so

rrasle Picture Of "Death on Earth"
l 10 Discovered by Chance Visitor
Neighbors Made to Believe
Girl Had Died.

Easton, Md.-Because at the age Of
sixteen years. Grace Marshall, a
daughter OF Frank Marshall OF st.
Michaels, fell in love with a young
man to whom her father and step
mother objected. she was placed In a
room, eight by ten feet in circumfer-
'ence, and has remained there suffer
Ing and half-starved for the last eight
years.
The girl, once pretty. was a tragic
picture of suffering when removed
from her house by order of the Chill
'dren's Aid society. She is twenty
eight years old, but she looked like
woman who had survived fifty years
of suffering.
During the time the girl has been
incarcerated in her tiny and filthy
room she has suffered agonies because
OF broken leg which was improperly
set the first few months she was held.
in an effort to escape she leaped from
the window on the second floor more
than seven years ago and suffered the
dnjury.
Swoons When Rescued.

knew of open air until today, when
she swooned upon stepping out into
the sunshine on her crutches.
A peculiar feature of the case is
that the parents allayed the suspicious
of neighbors regarding her by assert
ing she had died six years ago.
The discovery of the pathetic cir
Acumstances came through information
offered by the girls uncle. John Han.
cock, of Wilmington, Del. who has
been stopping at the Marshall home
for :. week. He was assigned to a
\ room near that in which the half-mad
girl was dragging herself about, and
the morning after his arrival he heard
her groans.
The father of the girl is known fol-
his violent temper and because of this
fact the uncle, determined to solve
the mystery of the room, made nc
mention of what he had heard. But
each night before retiring he spent {
considerable time in widening a hole
behind a picture, so he might even
@tually pierce the wall and see.
