GUNNISON SAYS
 EASTERNERS ARE
 BUzz CAR CRAZY
Prosperity at Top Notch the Greatest in the History of the
 Country,

Judge Royal A. Gunnison, who returned on the Northwestern from an extensive trip through the east crn section of the United States re- ports that the entire country, and especially that section around New York City is enjoying a period of the greatest prosperity in the history of the country.
 New York City is crowded with people and the country is aUtomo- bile mad" he said People arriy- ing in New York at present are uR- able to secure accommodations at the hotels in the city and many of them are forced to go to Brooklyn and other outlying sections to secure rooms. Persons wishing to attend any theatre are forced to secure their tickets days in advance, and the Auto Show, which was on while l was there, was entirely unable to accommodate the crowds. People wishing to visit the exhibit were forced to stand in line for hours and thousands were turned away en- tirely"
 Judge Gunnison has been east on legal business for clients and ex- poets to remain in Juneau for sev- eral months before taking another trip.

Steamer Was Ordered Back to the South but Had Engine Troubles
 at KetChikan.
ORDERS CoUNTERACTED
Passengers Well Treated and Kept Posted on Worlds DOingS by
 Their Friends.

After having been held in Ketchi- kan in quarantine for four days, the steamer Northwestern arrived in Jul. neau from Ketch;kan and the south last night at 11:3O o'clock and after unloading 50 tons of freight proceed ed west. The Northwestern had over 200 passengers on board, nine. teen of whom were bound for Ju. .neau.
 The Northwestern arrived in Ket. chikan last Saturday morning. Short ly after the ship landed Marine Physician Storey discovered a case of smallpox on board The victim of the disease was S. L. Peterson, engineer.in.charge of the cold stor. age plant at Sitka.
 Clears For Seattle
 The passengers and crew from the ship who were roaming around Ketchikan, were rounded up and at once hustled back aboard the steam CT, which was ordered to proceed at once to Diamond Head, the gov. ernment quarantine station near Port Townsend. The Northwestern cleared for the south, but when she swung out in the stream, engine trouble de. velOped and the steamer was forced to anchor. Shortly afterward a wire came from the head of the Marine Service in Seattle stating that if no new cases developed within four days, the ship would be allowed to proceed after those on board had been yaccinuted and the ship fumi. gated.
 Case Is Isolated
 Passengers arriving in Juneau this morning stated that Peterson's case was well advanced and that he was broken out in good shape when Ret. chikan was reached, but that he had been staying in his staterOom and had not mingled with the other pas sengers on the trip north.
 Empire and Bartlett Busy
 After the ship was anchored in the stream, and for the entire time the ship was there, those on board amused themselves by reading the papers, reading the almost hourly bulletins which wore posted, and in playing games. Through the courtesy of The Empire, which furnished the very latest news, Manager Glen Bart lett, of the Gastineau Hotel, who made up the bulletins, and the Mar conf wireless and cable officials who transmitted them to the ship tho passengers were at all times kept in touch with the dOings of the world. They also received several dozen cop. ies of current and back numbers of The Empire which were sent south from here by The Empire and Glen BartIctt,( as soon as the word of the

TO BUY A BOND ON JUNE 5.

as to his opinion Of the bonds as a
business proposition refused to dis
cuss it from that basis at all.
What does it matter whether this
is a money making proposition or not.
Of course it is; but the thing that
any man or woman wants to think
about in connection with the loan is:
For what use is the money to be ap-
piled. If a mar is filled with a real,
ziation Of what the val means, it will
not take him long to decide.
"Just one little glimpse Of the last
three years is sufficient. The viola
ton Of Belgium, the sinking Of the
Lusitania, the abuse and slaughter Of
millions of women and children in
Belgium, France and Poland, and the
other savageries of the Germans
should make a man go out Of his way
to subscribe for as many bonds as he
could possibly stand.
"If it were a matter Of war on our
own soil, with u own women and
children the subject Of these cruelties,
we would not hesitate a moment. And
from all I hear from Washington, 1t
will very probably be III women and
children unless the people Of America
rally to this loan with every available
dollar"
The 9Th day Of June has been set
apart by the Liberty Loan Committee
for South Carolina on which to re-
ceive subscriptions all over the state.
On that day, it has been decreed by
the government that all men between
the ages of 81 and 80, inclusive, shall
register; and it is desired that on the
same day. all other people, and all OF
those that register as well, shall as
faithfully go to the banks and fill out
an application blank for every cent OF
bonds that they can possibly stand.
South Carolina has v been

far back as my history goes" said

mittee yesterday; land I don't be-
lieve for a moment that the people OF
the commonwealth will allow her to

Columbia, S. c., (Special.)-"Do
your bit. Buy a bond for liberty and
the ultimate peace Of the world" is
the message which is being sent broad
cast over the state by the Liberty
Loan Committee for South Carolina, OF
which Edwin w. Robertson, is chair.
man.
Already there has been a wide re-
spouse from many directions. Thou
sands Of people have made applica-
ton through state and national banks
for bonds in denominations ranging
from $50 to $1,000. But since the al
lotment for South Carolina Is $780,,
900, there are a great many o to
be disposed Of before the state Will
have done its duty.
Central committees to promote the
sale of the bonds have been appoint
ed in each county Of the state. Men
everywhere are giving their time and
efforts toward helping the govern
ment float this loan; knowing well
that the fate Of the country, and per
haps of the war, is resting upon this
bond issue. The banks have also pu:
their shoulders to the wheel. Practi-
cally every bank is in a position to
accept applications for bonds, and
every man who wishes to subscribe
has only to apply to his banker.
The appeal which the Liberty Loan
is making to the farmers, merchants
and business men is not only patri-
otto: though the committee feels that
every man should want to support his
government to the extent Of buying o
bond. It Is also a business PROPOSE
ton; and a Liberty bond is right now
one Of the best and surest investments
that a man can make.
The government has got to buy corr
and cotton in quantities never before
heard Of. These supplies have got to
come from the fields and farms OF
South Carolina along with the rest OF
the country. Therefore, the money

back to him as actual cash in immense
purchases Of the things which he
raises. In this way he not only gets
o 8 IL per cent return on his bonds
but he also gets the actual money
back for the products Of his farm.
Just as the banks make their money
by financing the farmer, just 80 the
farmer is now in q position to make
money by financing the government.
No matter how this situation Is
faced, whether from sentiment or from
hard common sense, the move Is a
good one. -.
