1919 campaign. This proved to be the largest job of the whole ar tlllery program and required the construction by the government of wholly new plant, which was com pleted on June l, 1918. The first mount was finished in August of that year and passed all tests, and when the armistice was signed the castings, forgings and structural parts for 91 mounts were on hand. In April of this year 45 complete units had been delivered, and the whole 91 guns could have been mounted by June.
 The department ordered sixteen mounts for the 14-inch rifles, de- liveries to begin in February, 1919. These were in addition to the five guns of the size manned in France by the navy. The armistice served to cancel the contract.
 The 16-inch howitzer, largest of the whole gun family, was success fully mounted upon railway car riage, and following its passage of severe tests, General Pershing called for 10 nf tbaco ,uo,no,. n, coo, as they could be produced. Orders were placed for 61 additional guns of this size, but none had been turned out by the time the armis- tice was signed and the work of mounting them was never under taken.
 The chapters of the report given out deal also with artillery ammu- milton, with the powder production, and with the plans that were be- yond the experiment stage for mounting heavy guns on caterpillar tractors, which was an American development of the war. It prom ises now to revolutionize the hand ling of artillery for the entire world. While numerou experiment. al types were produced and sue cessfully tried out, however, this motorization had not reached the point of production before the ar mistice ended hostlities.

 The White Pass mail launch Si- billa met the launch Brooks near Eat 'Em-Up" Franks, and the through mail from Fairbanks was transferred from the latter to the former vessel. She also took on the passengers from the Brooks and brought them on to Nenana.

The fence which is highly ornate stands in the cemetery and every time that the natives for whom it was built come to town they hire a sightseeing auto to take other mem bers of the tribe out to view the won ders of the fence.
 Juneau Is the Hub.
 Max Humfrey of Alaska supply O. Says:
 We have no cause for complaint in -our business, in fact the volume this year has exceeded our expectations When I returned to Juneau at the beginning of February this year the outlook was not any too promising, but with the coming of spring the amount of business that developed was astonishing.
 "Our company is heavily interested in Juneau property and real estate in addition to our mercantile business; in fact practically the total assets of the Alaska Supply Company are ln- vested in Juneau and we have. no | intention of withdrawing or trans ferring them; on the other hand we contemplate materially enlarging the scope of our mercantile operations . next year
 Juneau is the hub of a wheel GOV ering a large and active area Of southeastern Alaska and is the log ical distributing point for that area | E., nf business to be gotten from the towns, | mines, cannerics and camps in this vicinity if only the ground can be covered and adequate transportation afforded I think the Commercial As sociation is working in the right
 direction by giving their attention to ! the matter of affording better trans portation to these outlying places, and if the merchants, property own CTS, and residents of this district will give the association their support
 and assistance, the results in the
 shape of greatly increased prosperity
 will soon be apparent"
 An Electrical Talk.
 Wm. R. Barnes of the Juneau Electric Light Company says: We have every bit of business we can
 handle without employing extra hell
 at the present time, We believe in
 Juneau and every day we are bet 1 ter satisfied with the town. There is no question in my mind that Ju
 neau is getting up off her knees and going ahead I went outside some l time ago to look up a better location It was good lesson. l came back with Juneau's good points proven
 to me by comparison. The growlers ought to go out and observe condi tions outside and the cost of living
 and they would hurry back content with their lot here"
 Three cheers for Juneau!

 PEOPLE OF JUNEAU FOR PROGRESS

and we have no kicks or knocks of any kind whatever to offer
 "The confidence in Juneau and her future was well demonstrated in the fall of 1916 and spring of 1917 when The Pacific Coast Company built the new $50000 dock terminal, now occupied by the Coal Company, and the Pacific Steamship Company. This | dock is recognized ds one of the best in Alaska, was built on the verge of the depression period and in the | face of more or less discouraging conditions, but the work was pushed | ahead despite these. the company knowing Juneau would come back and be all the better in the future
 Juneau badly needs more docks We people on the water front sec these needs demonstrated more often than the uptown business houses More government ships, steam and gas boats would dock and remain here if proper facilities were avail realize the amount of business these able.

We appreciated the letter from the Fisherman" last evening advocating the children's swimming pool. Many others have told us they would like to have it but none took the trouble to write.
 It shows the right spirit anyway We like to see man or woman of maturer years still interested ill childrens pleasures and sympathetic with the growing boy or girl, living just a few years over again through the youngsters and their sports, not forgetting they "were young once themselves" We would like to hear from more of our readers about the swimming pool idea. The Empire will be glad to print any letters sent in. Juneau Is Healthful.
 We called on Dr. DeVighne today He says Juneau is disgustingly healthy place. In answer to a qucs tion, he said:
 Juneau, and in fact all of South eastern Alaska is about the last place for an ambitious doctor to seek his fortune Whether it is because none but the physically robust are killing to take chance with us, or because the germs of most of the contagious diseases are unable to endure the trans sportation service to Alaska l an unable to say.

 "The mere fact that this compan. started their Juneau coal depot thirt. years ago proves beyond any argu ment their confidence in Juneau ant surrounding community.

motorist is most interested in what the price cards say when he rolls by the filling stations.
 American motorists have sometimes been inclined to put the price of gasoline among the items responsible for the high cost of living, no matter what mileage they may be receiving. The current cost of about 9 cents a gallon is certainly high enough but ones viewpoint IS changed a bit when the price charged in other countries is considered. For ex- ample, there is some comfort in the fact that gasoline does not cost in this coun- try anywhere near what it does in the | antipodes.
