ANOTHER NEW BUILDING IS
 NOW PROPOSED Plans About Completed for ParochiaI School and Parish Hall
 for Catholics. TWO STORY STRUCTURE Every Modern Convenience Will Be Contained in
 Building at Fifth
 and Harris.
TWO STORY STRUCTURE

Plans for the proposed Parochial School and Parish Hall building to be built in Juneau by the Catholic Church, are nearing completion in the office of A. Howard Peterson, architect.
 The contemplated building is to be two stories and basement with ev. cray modern convenience pertaining to the most up-to-date school build. ing, and is to be located on the north west corner of Fifth and Harris streets. where the present old. school building now stands
 The main or first floor consists of four class rooms with cloak rooms. office and accessories, and reached by stairway from Harris street as well as one leading to the yard. The basement space will be occupied by large gymnasium room and connect ed thereto with boys and girls lock CT and shower rooms; one kinder garten room and boiler room with central heating plant. The basement rooms are directly connected to the first floor by two stairways.
 The second floor contains a large auditorium room and stage, ladies and mems club room. kitchen and other accessories to be used for pub. lie assemblage and entertainments These rooms are entirely separated from the other floors used for school and are reached by a stair way from Fifth street.
 The exterior of basement walls will be constructed with concrete with a frame superstructure.
 The falcades are designed in the semi-circle style and to be cement plaster on wire lath.
 While the building is to be modest in every particular, efforts have been made to carry out the many details that it may stand as a monument in the community and credit to the progress of the Catholic church.

Alaska Pioneers Follow the Body of Respected Chinaman to the
 Grave.
ACCEPTED AS A BROTHER
Many Good Deeds of the Deceased Related by Those Here in the
 Early Days.

Funeral services over the remains of China Joe, the most respected and best known Chinamen of Alaska. were held yesterday afternoon from the chapel of the c. W. Young Gem pany The services were attended by the Pioneers of Alaska, lg'co No G in { body and nearly ever., busi ness man in the city marched in the procession to the grave The turn out was a tribute to one of another race, who was accepted as man and brother by the earlier residents of Juneau, and of one for whom the earlier residents will always hold a warm corner in their heart.
 When the news of Joe's death was announced Friday afternoon. it quick ly spread over the city and many Of the old timers sat silent and silently pondered on the many good deeds which Joe had done during his life time. Although the funeral pro cession was several blocks in length, it was entirely composed of white persons. with the exception of three men of Joe's own race, Sing Lee, Petersburg business man. Yen Young and Sing, both well known Juneau Chinamen
 B. M Behrends, Thomas Ashby, Ed Ellingen, Tom Stevens, Mark Russell, and Samuel Kohn, all mem- bers of the 1887 Pioneers of Alaska, were the pail bearers.
 Rev James H. Condit preached the last services over China Joe and in a few well-chosen words told of the high place the deceased occupied in the hearts of the residents of Ju- neau.
 Father Kashevaroff, as historian of the Pioneers, read the account of Joe's life in the West and Alaska as it appeared in The Empire Fri day, and said that there was one detail missing. as far as he could remember, and that was the circumstance that Joe came to Juneau with Joe Juneau and Dick Harris from Sitka. He said he was in Sitka when Juneau and Harris left that place in 1880 and that China Joe was with them when they de- parted
 Another well-known story, showing the guilenessness of Joe, has been reviewed many times since his death. At the beginning of one of the ear Hest winters of aJuneau's history, af- ter the last boat that would call at this place until another spring had come and gone, it was discovered the merchants who had the staff of life were raising the prices that had prevailed on the article. The miners and settlers held meeting, and it was disclosed that Joe had lot of flour in his bakery. A committee called on him and asked to purchase his flour for distribution among the miners.
 Me no sell flour" said Joe. "Me give flour to anybody who needs it and he can give me flour in the Spling"
 Joe broke the flour trust, and with his abundant stock eked the flour supply out until the arrival of boat the next season.
 This act firmly established Joe s position in the hearts of the pion- eers, and it was maintained by more than a third of century of kindly and charitable acts in the commun' ity. It was not strange at all that no white man ever took warmer friendships or kindlier feelings to his grave than followed China Joe yesterday to his last resting place in Evergreen cemtery.

CARROW WATER
REQUEST HEARD
BY COM. BETS

Yesterday afternoon the hearing Of
the application of Mrs. NJ. E. Carlow
for a certificate of necessity for a
water system in the town of Kingman,
before Corporation Commissioner A.
A. Belts, and ]. NJ. PhillipOwsli,
stenographer for the commission, and
Ben Ferguson, engineer.
Carl G. Krook appeared as counsel
for applicant, and Charles W. Hern-
don as counsel for protestants. A
number of witnesses appeared in be-
half of applicant and protestants. A
large number of people furnishing wa
alter to consumers were in attendance,
but did not give testimony. The en-
gineer, supplementing the testimony
of E. NJ. Carrow and 1. NJ. George,
stated that there was an abundance of
water to supply the town of Kingman
from the sources secured by the peo-
pie backing the water project. Beale
Springs was stated to have a volume
of 35 gallons per minute, Oak Creek
rs gallons and Cottonwood springs
about gallons.
A four-inch pipe line has already
been laid between Beale Springs and
the town, and $4,000 gallon reservoir
is now being excavated for at an ele-
walton of $50 feet above the town.
Another reservoir that will hold
over 100000 gallons is to be built
ESQ feet above the level of the town
for fire control purposes. These plants
and pipe lines will cost approximately
S51 900.
Kingman needs a water system of
sufficient Importance to control any
fire situation that might arise. At
the present time there is no fire pro-
lection and insurance is very high.
1t is possible to use a low pressure
main from the Lovin water tanks, but
this can only reach a short distance
from Fourth street.
With a high pressure fire system
Kingman could not only be made Sc
cure from fire, but the town could
be beautifed to a degree that would
make it one of the most beautiful
water system might curtail the reve-
nue. of some of the small water plants,
but in the main event these owners
would be benefited.
Commissioner Belts and his assist
ants will go to Chloride today, where
they will conduct a hearing in the ap-
pication of the Chloride Water COM
pany for a certificate of necessity.
