l..-s'.---''...-s'---.s'...-''.''-''.'--''-''' Casey- Shattuok Addition was placed on the market during the late summer and fall of 1913 and up to the beginning of the present year there had been sold about 125 lots. The sales this year number 20 lots.
 There are 122 property owners in the addition at the present time
 The population numbers about sOO not including the adjoining tide land settlement
 THERE HAS BEEN EXPENDED IN HOME BUILDING UPWARDS OF $ OOOO 900. There were p substantial residences built during the past year. There are IA residences under construction at the present time.
 The addition has a mile of water main and water is available in practically every section of the tract
 When the streets being opened are completed there will be more than a mile of graded streets
 The purchasers of property in the addition withou' a known exception have profted by their investment For instance the five lots in Block 2Ol sol9 orgn%g for S2,700O0. On the basis of recent sales m 1nS block the five lots worth today $127OOOO gam of 370T
 lot and half in Block POP sold in 1913 for S65OO0 and in 1915 for $2,100O0. Lot l6 in Block 22S was sold three years ago this month for SSoO00 Today it is held at $l25OOO Lots and 3, Block 22I sold April, l9l0, TOT SlOUO.OV 1He pASS0ne could sell for S2000O0 Lots and D. Block 226 sold last summer for $15O0OO and again in the fall for Sz 10000 COnserativey estimated the TIT property owners in the Addition, excluding those m BLOCK zOA above referred to have made gain on account ot l crease in values of S150O000, average profit o S1250O per lot and many of them nave saVeo several times this amount in rent.
 There are a number of desirable lots still to be had including few particularly attractive ones on U street a street just being opened between W. oughby avenue and Twelfth street which VIII be the longest street on the addition when completed
 There is very little other reasonably priced resi- ence property in Juneau There is every reason to o eve that the demand for residence property will con- taue to increase and that prices will likewise con nue to increase as the little available property IS pur chased and built upon There has been steady in- crease in prices for the past three years and property is selling better at the higher prices than 1t did when prices were low. careful study of the situa- on forces the conclusion that in the near future close residence property will be beyond the reach or the 1, man of moderate
 The Prices in Casey-Shattuck Addition have been kept down within the reach of every and is today the most reasonably priced residence property in the city. The lots sold on easy terms and any one having steady work for lot on this plan even though he is paying rent.
 If you have money enough to start house l can show you how to beat the rent Come in and look over the remaining lots l have several snaps to offer.

WOMEN WILL APPEAR IN ABBREVIATED HOSE
 THIS COMING SUMMER

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. May 16.- Special. )-No longer will it be nec- essary for volunteer students of the human form divine to wait on breezy street carners in cities or to visit New Jerseys bathing beaches to find subjects for study. If fashion pre- dicted for feminity at the opening session here today of the National Association of Hosiery and Under wear Manufacturers is generally adopted
 That it will be adopted was the consensus of opinion among the man. ufacturers. and they should know, for they have been booking orders for the summer trade.
 Women. said J. D. Morley, of Bos- ton. will wear short stockings when the warm weather comes. so short that they will barely meet the short skirts decreed by fashion experts meeting in Cincinnati a few days ago. It does not take much imagina- ton to realize what will happen when the wind blows.
 The younger women already are wearing their stockings as short as mems hose. said the Bostcn man. land at Atlantic City I saw some of the older ones turning down their regular length hose to have the same effect. They went the linn 1t and passed it last year They wore hose so transparent that there was actually no body to it, but that grade of goods will not be in demand this year. Womei. now are demand ing more substantial material"

SLAVERY WAS CAUSE OF WAR BETWEEN
 AMERICAN STATES

Juneau, May S1. To the Editor
 In this evenings issue of your pa per. there appears a letter signed by Lena Morrow Lewis in which she flor the sake of truth"-endeavors to correct certain alleged errors in the historical facts recounted by the orator of the day at the Decoration Day exercises.
 For the purpose of scoring a point against the speaker, your correspond- ent proceeds to distort some of the statements made by him in the course of hls address; thus, so to speak, erecting a man of straw who could be readily knocked down.
 The excerpts from the speech that appeared in your issue Of the SOth, (which excerpts tally precisely with my own recollection of what was sald,) indicate that the remark to which exception is taken by Mrs. Lewis was "The Civil War was only an incident in. a conflict between ignorance and knowledge, freedom and slavery"
 Mrs. Lewis letter asserts that "The statement was made that the men who went from the North to engage in the Civil War did SO to set the black people of the South free; that slavery was the cause of the war"
 She then endeavors to demonstrate this as a fallacy.
 If Mrs. Lewis were better informed on the history of her country she would relaize that slavery WAS the primary and sole cause Of the Civil War.
 The question of states rights which had politically vexed the United States for more than 30 years prior to 1860, and which Mrs. Lewis di- rectly assigns as the reason for the war. itself grew out of the slavery topic; and to quote "The Reference History Of the World", D. 1OS, "In 1856, the political party which op- posed slavery took the name of the Republican and the po- litical canvass which followed in 1860 was accompanied by the profoundest feeeling (on the slavery question be 1t understood and by threats of dis union. -Four parties were in the field, the Democratic party having been divided by the slavery question the largest vote was obtained by the Republican can didates, Lincoln and Hamlin The political strife had been concentrat- ed on the slavery question .. and 1t was plain that the Republican party. once placed in power, would pass from confining slavery to sue cessive steps for destroying it. This the South felt. and 1t

ALASKA CLUB GETS OFF IN
 LIQUOR CASE

On the motion Of Federal Attor- ney W. N. Spence, who instituted the prosecutions. the Tillikum Club Illicit liquor selling cases at Valdez were dismissed this morning. according to a dispatch 10 the Seattle Times of May 27th.
 AS result a number of people prominent in the United States and practically every man of importance in Alaska will breath sigh of relief, Informations were sworn out against the membership of the Tilikum Club as whole, and against Sam Blum, a Valdez and Cordova banker; Lieut.. h.. A. Kunzig, former secretary of the Alaska road commission; James NJ. Lathrop, owner of the Valdez Dock Company, and James Fish. Jr, gov ernment mail contractor. With the exception of Blum and Lathrop, who happened to be in Seattle when the warrants were issued, the defendants were arrested. Later they were re- leased on bonds of S10OO each.
 The arrests were brought under peculiar phase of the Alaskan law. For years number of clubs and fra ternal organizations had sold liquor without paying q federal saloon IT, cense. The Mum Club, at Nome, was prosecuted and Federal Judge John Randolph Tucker held the club gull ty. The members took the case to the circuit court of appeals, which confirmed Judge Fuckers decision. Then. under the law. every member of every club that had sold liquor in Alaska was guilty of a separate offense for each day the club had been open for a period of three years previous to the decision In the event of a conviction in each case the fines would have aggregated millions of dollars and the defend ants would nave been sentenced for terms totalling thousands of years.
 Prominent Men Involved
 The prosecution also would have disturbed the affairs of the nation for among the members of the Alas ka organizations are former Presl dent Taft. life member of the Arc tic Brotherhood; Senator Knute Nell son. Senator Key Pittman. many Con- gressmen. few former governors, a bishop, an archbishop, two minis ters Of the gospel, former members or officers in the United States of presidential cabinets, a number army. several federal attorneys, and many federal judges. court clerks and other officials. all of whom are members of some of the Alaskan clubs and fraternal organizations.
 When the decision Of the circuit court was received the clubs stopped selling liquor immediately. but that did not exonerate them for the ot- lenses committed before the decis- ion was given.
 It was politics, according to sam Blum's statement. that was respon. sible for the prosecutions. Blum remained in Seattle for several months after the warrant was is- sued and could not be arrested be- cause the ofense with which he was charged is nonextradltable.
 Federal Attorney Smlser asked for the dismissal of the cases on the ground that Federal Judge Robert W. Jennings was too busy trying cases at Juneau to hear the Valdez case. Federal Judge F. M Brown. whose seat of jurisdiction is at Val dez. could not try the case because he is former member of the de- fendant club.

It was evident that the nominee would be either Hughes Roosevelt measure reactionary control of the national the ability of the reactionaries only to prevent the nomination of MT.

The Place of proqressives

The democratic campaign managers fatuously clinging to hope that they may yet attract to Mr. Wilson considerable part of the progressive strength They attempting this by trick and device. Dem ocratic newspapers quoting widely from a paper called the Progressive. published at Wichita Kansas. It is intended by them be inferred that the Progressive is in protest against the action of progressive committee in endorsing Mir Hughes. The Progressive is devoted sounding the praises of Mr. Wilson as the chief progressive.
 The Progressive is of recent origin. It had no existence at the beginning of the present and believe not until after the holding of the democratic national convention It is of purely democratic origin for the deception of progressves. The Progressive and other democratic newspapers dwelling upon the charge that it the reactionary element of the republican party that nominated Mir Hughes and that therefore he the choice of the reactonaries
 The fact is. as all know that MT. Hughes was the next to the last choice of the reaconary element in the national republican convention. Colonel Roose- welt was their last choice. The latter had not only made effort to majority in the convention but he had frowned upon the efforts friends

 "Well, I just had a good scare a couple of weeks ago. You know ! used to hang around Jakes quite a bit with the boys out of workin hours. but I never did hit the high places with the booze much of any. You never saw me lit up, did you Pete?"
