MANY ATTEND
 GYM EXERCISES
 AT THE SCHOOL
Parents and Others Were AStonished at the Pro- gresS Made by the
 School Pupils.

The school gymnasium was crowd ed to overflowing yesterday afternoon when the entire student body of the school assembled to enjoy the first gymnasium exhibition ever offered by classes of the Juneau schools The performance was given by the Junior and Senior High School Girls classes and showed the regular work that has been done during the year under the direction of their gym nasium instructor, Miss Fay Wenk. and was not arranged especially for exhibition purposes. That the girls did credit to their instructor and to their school goes without saying and the time spent each day in this work could not possibly be regretted by ness with which the girls carry out the various dances and exercises There were Irish dances and Scotch dances, dumb bell and Indian club exercises and May Pole dance which proved an especially popular number. A great deal of credit is due Miss Wenk for her untiring ef- forts to make the work both bene- ficial and interesting for the girls, and the girls too have shown un- bounded enthusiasm for the work as is evidenced by their expression as they go through the various num- bers of the exhibition.
 The performance will be repeated this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock es- pecially for the parents of the girls who are in the entertainment, and no others will be admitted as the seating place is limited. Another performance will be given on Fri day evening at 7:45 o'clock, to which the general public is invited. with the exception of the students, and an overflowing crowd is anticipated. There is no admission charged at any of the exhibitions as they are given for the purpose of permitting patrons of the school to see the ac- tual work that is being accomplished in this new department.

It Will Then Come into It's Own as a Busy Mart of Trade During the
 Summer.
IS HISTORICAL CITY
Business Men Believe that Town Will Soon Have Boats All Months
 of Year.

Beginning with the trip of the Steamer City of Seattle leaving Seat tie June 18th, both that steamer and the Spokane will alternate in calling at Sitka on every trip to Southeat ern Alaska.
 The picturesque city near the sea rich in historical lore and tourists treasures, will then be on the map again in earnest. The landing of the big steamers every summer is an event in the history of Sitka. Busi. ness men there believe it will not be long before the larger boats will find it profitable to call the year round.
 Sitka is the centef of a consider. able trade territory which has not as yet been developed. There are mines and fishing, hot springs and even a good grade of coal has been found outcropping
 With the increased fishing inter est in fresh fish, the town is sure to become a considerable center of active trade.
 People who have visited the God dard Hot Springs claim that the medicinal properties of the waters are equally as good as the famous springs in the States, that the ac comodations are good and reasonable and that when better transportation is afforded a larger number of peo pie from all over Alaska, and from the outside willS visit the springs There are also excellent hunting and fishing for sportsmen in that vicinity

 LANCDON SAYS JUNEAU CITY IS ALL RIGHT

Whats the matter with Juneau? She's all right and then some," de- clared Jack Langdon today in re- ferring to business conditions.
 MT. Langdon and Jack Deadly yes terday took over Ferguson's place. which they bought from William Ferguson for a soft drink parlor and poolroom, and plan on making a number of improvements.
 The time is past" he said, when Alaskans can sit down and wait for business to come to them. Juneau and other cities have reached a point where they must get out and develop the resources surrounding them. There is plenty of wealth all about the different communities and all that is needed is to go after the business. There is enough fishing tributary to Juneau to make a wealthy city of several times the size of the present town ?

this afternoon through the British

ment that the same message had
been picked up directly by the
American naval wireless from the
great German station at Nauen.
The belief here is that if the
Hohenzollern dynasty actually has
ended William II, like Carl of Aus
trla-Hungary, knowing the time of
ms gong was near, refused to per-
NIT history to record that he signed
the document which must complete
ly destroy German military power
and require Germany in advance to
submit to any terms OF peace which
her enemies may choose to impose.
