WILL MEAN BIG SAVING
Is BELIEF OF COUNCIL
Mayor, Chairman of the Public
Works Committee and City
Engineer to Investigate and
Report Findings to Council.

Brunswick's public works depart
ment may soon be motorized!
This question has been discussed tC
such an extent that ii has already
been taken up by city council in an
official way, and a special committee
has been appointed to make thor
Tough investigation and report theil
findings at future meeting of coun
ell.
Council, as a committee of the
Whole Gld--a---laae+iaaas II Tf71y
night for the purpose of agreeing up
on the 1916 budget, but this proposi
tion to motorize the public works do
partment came up and, pending some
definite action, the budget for the yeai
was not decided upon.
A committee composed Of the may
or, the chairman of the public works
department and the city engineer was
named to take the matter in cnarge,
ascertain the cost of purchasing the
lnccessary machines, the cost Of opera
ton, etc, and then submit to council
can save annually by inaugurating
the machines The committee will go
actively 10 work on the question and
will have a report ready within short
time.
The plan suggested calls for the
purchase Of three motor trucks. two Of
onc-ton capacity and one of two tons.
These motor trucks would do the work
of six trash wagons now used in the
Istrcetcleaning department and from
four to six dumpcarts used in the pub
| lie works department In all they
would displace about a dozen horses
Members of council who have al
ready looked into the situation are Of
the opinion that = big saving can be
made by the city by motorizing these
departments 1t is pointed out that
with feed so high, twelve horses arc
| a great expense to the city, while il
is also taken into consideration that
each horse requires driver Mem
| berS Of council also realize that gaso
line is almost out of reach at present
but this condition is not expected tc
prevail for any great length of time.
OF course nothing definite has as
iyet been decided upon hut, as stated
d study of the situation is being made
and before reaching any decision, thu
question will be fully looked into.

4 BIG SAW MILL
To Be LOCATED
NEAR THIS CITY
II POSSIBLE TO SECURE SITE
ALONG RIVER FRONT 1T WILL
BE BUILT IN CITY-MACHiNERY
EN- ROUTE HERE.

A new sawmill, with a capacity of
$4,000 feet per day, is soon to be es-
-Gblished in Brunswick. In fact the
machinery for the mill is now ready
fer shipment to this city, the man who
is TO manage it is on the scene, ready
to begin cutting lumber near here, and
Just as soon as the site is secured
active work will start.
j. H. Trant of Virginia, who has a
contract to cut all of the timber on
the large Rennolds tract of land some
Is miles from the city, is to manage
he mill. Mr. Trant is now in the city
and has been here for several days.
The machinery to be used in the mill
lis coming from South Carolina, where
q large mill is being dismantled.
The question of site is puzzling
Nh. Trant just at present, however.
He is desirous of locating the mill
right in the city, and as yet has not
been able to secure satisfactory site.
The site on which is now located the
|Old mill of the Pratt Lumber COM
Ppany, near the A., B. & A. terminals,
was the place wanted. but upon in
ia t 4.e
A., B. & A. railroad, owners of the
land, had leased it to the Brunswick
rCreosoting company, consequently it
could not be secured. Mr.. Trant has
looked over two or three other sites
and deal for one of them will likely
be closed within a few days.
In the event, however, that a suit
able site cannot be secured, the mill
will be located on Blythe island. The
lumber to be cut is on branch of the
Satilla river and is to be sent to the
mill by RATS, therefore Mr. Trant is
anxious to get site right on the river
front. The mill will be a large one
and, if a dry kiln is operated will
give employment to about fifty peo-
pie.

HALF MILLION FOR OUR
HARB0R WILL BE URGED
If Ways and Means ComNittee
Include Any New Projects in
Present Bill, Then Brunswick
Will Be Included.

The city of Brunswick is at once
to open negotiations with a number
of owners of riverfront property with
La view of purchasing sufficient
frontage for municipally-owned
MhaEI- -and- ia ll4rI la4--4Aa--
quiremcnts of the federal government
in connection with the announced at
Ititude OF the government not to make
any further appropriations for harbor
improvements for ports which have
not municipally-owued wharves.
While this plan was adopted by the
government months ago. and while
the matter has been discussed on
Imany occasions by city council and
1.-THE Board Of Trade. nothing definite
has ever been done and. as IA Iesult.
Brunswick is still without a munich
pal wharf, Months ago n special com
mittee Of citizens was appointed to
take charge Of the matter, but the
work of this committee has not pro.
crossed very far.
Within the last few weeks the Board
of Trade has been notified that. un-
less the city purchased the necessary
water front il was extremely doubtful
that the appropriation of half mil
|li0n dollars would he made for the
new project on Brunswick's inner and
outer harbor This information re-
newed the subject, and yesterday me-
gotiations were opened with one or
itun pf t.p 90
and it is likely that within a few
weeks the city will make a deal for
the property desired.
Mayor Hopkins yesterday wired
ICongressma" Walker that these nago-
tations had been opened, and inform
ed him that this matter should not
Istand in the way of Brunswick's APP
preparations, as the city would own
its wliarves by the time the appropria-
tion was made
In this connection, however, it is
doubtful If any ports will receive ap-
preparations at the present session for
new projects, although they have been
recommended by the board of army
engineers. The rivers and harbors
committee announced some two weeks
ago that only appropriations for main
tenance would he made during the
present session, all new projects going
over to the fall session. However. in
the event any new projects are taken
up. Brunswick will undoubtedly be
considered as the work in this harbor
has already been recommended by the
army engineers. Congressman Walk.
cr is keeping in close touch with the
situation, and has announced that II
the committee considers any new.proj-
ects at all that he will urge that
|Brunswick's appropriation be made at
this session. For this reason he has
notified the city 10 be prepared with
its municipal wharf, and the telegram
sent him by the mayor Yesterday was
t. inform the congressman that Bruins
wick would soon own sufficient porp.
erty along the river front to meet the
requirements of the government.

THE HOLMES MEMORIAL
lMining and scientific Pressl

In recent issue we referred to an association
 formed at Washington Go perpetuate the memory and good work of Joseph A. Holmes. During the past week Dr. David T. Day the honorary Secretary of
 the Association, has been in San Francisco and has
 taken steps to arouse the interest of the mining pro-
 fesson in the plan to memOralize the first Director
 of the U s. Bureau of Mines. Our readers will sym
 pathize with any effort to do honor to Holmes as
 they always glad to support him when alive.
 yet we venture to say that the most fitting memorial
 to him is the complete success of the Bpreau of Mnes
 which he organized and directed in it's beginning and
 if that be not enough there is also the fact that among those prominent in asking the public
 to honor him several that tried to prevent the
 formation of the Bureau and the subsequent appoint
 mean spirit but in justice tc the memory of a good citizen. Safety First" was the slogan of Holmes; 1t has given an impulse to great variety of syste matc effort designed to decrease the risk incurred
 in the work of mining. It is proposed now to do
 something further in this direction in order to honor Holmes. The distribution of medals has been sug- gested as a method for recognizing the observance or safety principles Arrangements for talks on the subject to- the minewOrkers might be another effec tive way of encouraging interest in the matter Un- fortunately from the safety point of view the miner IS essentially venturesome man; his choice of an occupation indicates the willingness Go take chances therefore it has proved difficult to eradicate careless ness Men will persist in entering a powder maga- zine while smoking pipe they will insist in lower ing men in cage with the brake only they will work under bad ground The temperament of those that go down in the mine in skips and follow danger ous occupation amid the darkness underground will have to be changed before we make them murmer to themselves safety first" One way to do is to get some of the thoughtful among them give talks )n the subject to their fellows; kind of lecture
 rom wOrkngman to his mates Some of the older md better educated might be selected by the Holmes Association and paid reasonably for their work as opponents of the safety idea We suggest this as one method of honorng the founder of the Bureau of Mines The local branches of the mining engineering societies will be asked to give their support

THE SALMON FISHERIES

The grand jury sitting at Ketchikan, recently made a very excellent presentment to the court on fn- ishng its labors the report embracing variety of matters germane and otherwise. including reference 10 the threatened depletion of salmon halibut and herring in the waters og Southeastern Alaska unless drastic steps are immediately taken for the conser- vation of these valuable food fishes
 It is matter worthy of more than mere passing comment that the Bureau Fisheries which is charg- ed with the administration the fisheries Of Alaska, professes to believe that salmon and herring fish cries are not threatened with exhaustion. This view is combated by fishermen and many of the cannery- men who alege that the salmon fisheries especially are ndanger by of intensive fishing and The Empire is satisfied that the views of the latter are substantially correct No one at all familiar with the salmon fishery in Scuheastern Alaska can doubt tba the intensive fishing that is being presented every year has materially decreased the number of salmon; and unles5 prompt steps are taken to in- crease the supply and to enforce more strictly the law regulating the calmon fisheries. tis important resource will steadily decline until total extinction practically has taken place. That there are and al- ways have been seasonal fluctuations in the run of salmon is well known. year producing heavily 10 be followed a year or two later by distinct lessening of the supply however as has been stat ed the consensus of opinion among fishermen and caunerymen is that salmon decreasing in number year by year. as is proved conclusiyely by the num- Der that ascend the streams each year. In the past few years streams that were fairly alive with this fish, during the spawning season, are now prac tcally deserted.

THE REHABILITATION oE SILVER

few days ago bar silver was quoted at 7lS per ounce the highest price recorded in many years Indications that the metal will reach still higher levels in the immediate future. The steady advance in the price of silver is attributable to the absorption of huge quantities for coinage purposes due to the withdrawal of gold from circulation by the Entente Allies who reluctantly forced to part with DOT tion of their gold in order to pay for the stupendous quantities of materials which they are consuming
 The fact is beginning to dawn the financial world that the longer the drags the greater the possibility of the demonetization of silver its coinage on tremendous scale by the allied powers, which is practically the same thing demonetza- ton. Furthermore. it is becoming evident that if the war continues for a few years longer~it will be- the Central powers. of repudiatng their international obligations if the banks of the world large do not see it to demOnetize silver else accept it the first basis at a much higher value than the present price of the metal The worlds entire gold production for the next fifty years will not be sufficient to back up than practional part of the huge debts that being accumulated by the belgerents in the present war-the greatest the world has known
 That American financiers have given the question deep thought Is concusvey shown by the activity in reopening some of the old silver mines in the West by big financial interests evidently in anticipation of the huge demand for silver that is bound to follow the close of the European struggle, to say nothing of the big demand that has already been established The impossbiity of increasing the worlds production of gold is serious factor that it becomes more and more evident to all except the biased that it is question of only short time when silver will be placed on a higher price level than it was prior to it's demonetization in 1873.
 In view Of the unprecedented condition of affairs in the financial world. it is evident that following the termination of the European conflict there will be complete reorganization of world finance in which no other metal will play such an important part as silver

MUNICIPAL AND PUBLIC UTILITIES

Every municipality should own ana operate it's public utilities especially its water system. This policy has been proved sound is evidenced by the experience Of other towns and cities which, at con siderable sacrifice the beginning have acquired their water systems and other public utilities either by purchase or by construction by the cities themselves Juneaus permanency is aSsured. and it may reason ably be expected that the city will have steady growth for many years to come The water.works system. therefore can be secured at more reason able price now than the future Whether the price a. which the Juneau Water Company offers it's plant is equitable. The Empire does net know but this is matter that can be determined without great deal of trouble and expense.
