THE FISHING INDUSTRY

fishing industry is a permanent thing The seas like Kansas wheat fields, their crop each year Nothing would do quite much to establish beyond all question quibbe the permanency of this city than to make her the center of Al2ska's great fishing industryan industry that is destined to lead the world in seafood production The present period of high foodstuf prices would afford the necessary encouragement for the industry in it's infant years. By the time conditions normal again the industry would be thoroughly established that would pro- gross from it's own momentum The circumstance that the government has promised and is prepared to give the necessary aid in developing markets for the fish products Of this Territory adds to the en- couragement offered by this field of industry to the brawn brain and capital of those interested in making Juneau grow and, incidentally. who desire profit by the growth
 And then, when normal times return, when the and people begin think of other things than foodstuffs and munitions, when prices re- cede from the war-made figures, and mine develop ment becomes less great undeveloped bodies Sheep Creek, the Basin, Mount Juneau and other points the nearby mainland Douglas Isl up the Berner's Bay Eagle River and other regions, will be worked, multiplying gold output and mining activities. Then Juneau will take prominent place among the cities of the Pacific Immense. owgrade longlived gold mines and sea-food production will make unbeatable combination

WHY KID" THE CLOCK?
Seattle TimeSl

Seattle Times)
 Saving morning daylight the workshops and spending afternoon daylight in the home gardens of Seattle during the might prove to be highly beneficial reform and might even measure up, in a small way, the confident claims of those who are clamoring to have the clock hands moved hour ahead
 However, if takes a chance and comedies that such is the the biggest question raised nection with this alleged reform" remains unan- swered Why should it be necessary for comrun- ity, convinced of the desirabity of this change, enter into a gigantic conspracv to hoodwink batb itself and mans honest old friend, the mepiece?
 The few cities of the country that have adopted this policy have found that they have deliberately courted deal of needless trouble, besides subecng themselves to the rfdicule of people all the country.
 confusion ndescribable Railroads, telegraph panies and long distance telephone companies could not conform to the new arrangement. They have to ignore local time and stick to the in vogue all over the country Any other policy would have a dsarrangement of their schedules.
 As result, travellers sojourning for a short time in these cities brought the verge of nervous apparently in blithe defiance of the clock arriving sixty minutes ahead of time and leaving a full hour earlier than the time indicated in the railroad time tables
 If the socalled daylight saving" is beneficial if there is anything really to be gained by climbing out of the hay" an hour earlier during the summer why is it necessary make the city of Seattle the victim of practical joke?
 Why not instead. start work hour earlier, either individuals a community and permit the clock to continue on it's honorable course mark ing "the time what am" not the time what ought to be but am not?"
 Nearly iy, every one is acquainted with the enter talnlng idiot who has his watch set minutes ahead in order that he will not be late anywhere His system does not fool him, any than his system of setting the clock ahead an hour would fool tho average American The entertaining idiot is chronic He knows he is tricking his watch, so he takes chances with the minute hand Whenever his timepece loses few minutes, he miss es every one of his connections. The citizen in community where the clock has been set ahead an hour would take equal liberties with similar results
 Silly is the word to apply to this project If one decides to go without sugar in the morning coffee, does not substitute sand-and lie to oneself.

 Now is the time for the people Of Juneau to show some of the socalled Seattle spirit She should be ready with the cooperative aconand money, if need be-to make these dreams come true They would in the continued growth of the city, and make more money for those who in business here and who have their money invested here than could be made in any other manner.

Luke McLuke Saws


 The time is rapidly approaching when Father will have a battle with Mother every time he goes through the screen kitchen.
 Every woman likes to mother young man who can take care of himself. But when a man gets old enough to need a woman to take care of him, few women want to tackle the job.
 That transparent effect is all right when a woman wears it. But who the Hek wants to see a man in silhouette pants on the sunny side of the street? Another old timer who seems to have disappeared was the man who used to come home during Spring houseclean- ing and find his wife chasing the Hon. 2rable Bed Bugs from one room to mother and who made his wife mad by asking her if she was swarming the bees again.
 The only reason why some husbands To not attempt to commit suicide to scare their wives is because they know that their wives wouldn't call in the doctor until it was too late
 There are only a few sure thing bets And one Of them is that when a 20- year-old girl marries 70-year- r-old man, the man isn't broke so you could notice it.
 A foreigner who has never been here, put who reads our newspapers and mag lzines, must get the impression from he underwear and clothing advertise nents that the men in this country arc Ill ath-a-letes.
 Of course she is one girl in a million when you first get her. But after you nave been married for a while you be- sin to wonder if you couldn't have done better by grabbing any one of the oth- r 999, ,999
 Never judge by appearances. The worst woman we ever knew had a face ike Madonna, and the best shot we yer knew had only one hand and one eye.
 Of course we understand that the en- ire nation is clamoring for Prohibit ion and that only about per cent of he people favor Personal Liberty But -ou may have noticed that in any community there is always spirited bid . ing for the Beer Privilege, while the lemonade Privilege has to be given way.
 The reason why a woman knows that is an awful thing to marry for money because she tried it and didn't get it.

MAKE THE DREAMS COME TRUE

That another good meeting of Juneau busi- last night at the city hall It that should bear fruit for this city, because every of propositions considered practicable and they should be carried conclusion Juneau should become the of Alaskas fishing industry she should be the terminus of many mail and passen- and freight routes of mosquito fleet that should make ports of call at every fishing and mining camp Southeastern Alaska, and the Gasneau chan nel bar should be dredged that small craft can pass it in going to and from Juneau the fish ing grounds and mining and fishing towns and camps north and of the city
 The information that fish buyers will to Ju- the people of the city will provide facilities for handling fish here and that the fishermen will here if they find market for their cargoes, brought the meeting last night should cinch the fisheries center proposition Capt Thomass offer pay bonus to good little gas steamboat that would call at Port Walter once week, because we get what need Juneau and good treatment from her merchants, eloquent testimonial of the attitude of fishermen toward the proposition of making Juneau a fshermens center There seems no reason in the world to doubt that Juneau will be on the fish map early date.
 Capt. Thomas statement also gives vivid glimpse of the possibilities of the result Juneau would follow the establishment of mail and passenger and freight routes from Juneau to the producing fishing and mining communities of Southeastern Alaska Such routes would bring thousands of dollars city for and services of differing kinds. and add lnensely to the number of business visitors to the city. The time should not be long away before it would require several fine little passenger and freight craft to handle the local business Southeastern Alaska that would center at this place One needs only to note what such fleet of mosquito did make Seattle the metropolis of Puget Sound to real ize what it would do for Juneau. Juneau should be drawing trade from a larger than contributed to Seattle in the days when that city was fighting her way from population that as great as Ju- reau's until reached approximately 50OO0 inhabi tants period that covered about decade-from 1880 to the early '90s.
 The dredging of the Gastineau channel bar would contribute both of the aforementioned projects It would bring this city 20 miles more the fishing grounds and shorten the distance and time
