LAMsoN's MARKET REPORTS
Furnished by Lamson Bros. 4 Co.. 2os
Masonic Temple, Phone 1873.

Chicago, oct. l7.-Corn--The market
started higher and closed with gains
OF about lss for the December and "A
for the May. Strength was induced
by the announcement OF the railroad
director that wheat would be given
preference in the movement OF oil
grains, covering by shorts and some
buying on the theory that the market
was too low as compared with other
commodities. Cotton was cited among
the latter articles. The cotton crop Is
short and the demand worldwide
while the new corn crop Is large, OF
excellent quality and competing with
a huge exportable surplus in the Ar
gentine. Indicative of the fact that
Europe is buying in the southern hem
isphere, Argentine shipments last week
were S,466,000 bushels, while the United
states exported only $4,000 bushels.
Comparative figures since Jan. show
that Argentine has shipped 59,75S,0OO
bushels, against 100000 bushels last
year. The United states since July
has sent TO Europe only $1,000 bush
els against 7,44l,000 bushels in the
corresponding period last year.
Oats-Wbile oats were strong early
with corn, they lost most of their gain
later. Nothing was heard of export
business and the domestic call eased'
towards the last.
Provisions--General short covering
cause a big advance, especially in lard.
Eastern houses were good SELLERS
around the top, which caused fair
recession.

Chicago, Oct. 17.-New upturns in
the value Of corn resulted today from
prospects of diminishing receipts. In
this connection railroad orders to give
wheat the preference in the movement

by gains all around.
Bulls argued that with cotton near

CAPT. JOHNSON WILL
 RESUME PRACTICE OF
 MEDICINE AT SITKA

Capt James w. Johnston will re turn to Sitka on the Admiral Evans, and assume his practive of medicine at that place, and assume the duties of Town Councilman, to which he re- gently was elected. Since leaving Sitka, Dr. Johnston has served in the United States Army, and became Capt Johnston. He was stationed with the troops at Fort Liscum until he was discharged at his request not long since When he arrived at Juneau on his way home, he was requisitioned by Gov. Riggs to aid in the suppression of the epidemic of influenza at Skagway, where he treated SC cases, and was very sue cessful in his fight against the nal adv

those who were being transferred from one place to another, from striking out for the front At first these men were sent back to their units, but in a short time it was decided that a man who was so anx- ious to fight that he would desert from his unit for that purpose ought to be permitted to fight, and they were put to work.
 Dr. DeVighne says the American soldiers not only surpassed the oth- CTS in their vim and desire to be in the thickest of the fighting all the time, but they easily led in craftsmanship. He says the manner in which they picked off officers among the machine gun nests by ri file fire was one of the things that

AMERICANS WERE BEST
 OF SOLDIERS
Dr. De Wghne Says Ameri- can Doughboys Easily Surpassed Those of
 Other Countries.

While the American officers had not acquired the experience that more than four years of intensive fighting had provided for the French and British, the American doughboys far surpassed any other soldiers on the front in France when the armis tice came, according to Dr. H. C.. DeVighne, who came back to Juneau Saturday as Major DeVighne. U. 5 Reserves" They were first in ear nestness, initiative and individuality They couldn't be held back.
 Dr. DeVighne had been in France for several months when the armis- tice was signed, and at that particu- lar moment was at Fleurry, IA miles from Verdun He had been within three miles of the front, where the wounded were brought back foI emergency attention.
 People probably do not fully real. ize the furious pace the war was going when the end came" said Dr. DeVighne. American losses were mounting daily as greater and great CT numbers of them were thrust into the front. ranks. At our evacua- tion hospital the wounded were com ing in at the rate of 100 to 120 a day, treated and sent back for fur, ther care, if needed. Our capacity was 1O4, and we were always more than filled"
 Dr. DeVighne says one of the caus es of the American losses being so high was the impossibility of holding the men back They were just fur ious for the front, and men in the rear were constantly deserting in or der to get into the fighting area. He estimates that there were 10000 American soldiers in the units that were actually engaged who had trans ferred themselves from training camps without orders. The constant movement of soldiers made it diff cult to prevent men, particularly

LABOR AND 8 HOURS DAILY

Juneau, Alaska, April IF, 1919.
 Editor, Empire. - Having been granted permission to present the peoples side of the eight-hour work ing day controversy, the Legislative Committee of the Alaska Labor Union, Local No. 4, desire to cite he fact that the citizens of Alaska did, over three years ago, approve an 'ight-hour law by an overwhelming vote of nearly seven to three. Yet we have no eight-hour law today. Why?
 Does any one believe the citizens of Alaska now desire longer hours? We think not. In fact, we know they do not.
 At two public mass meetings in Juneau to which all were invited and given the opportunity to voice his or her opinion on the eight hour law, the resolutions endorsing it were unanimous. Without dis centing vote, the Union Legislative Committee was instructed to work for an eight hour day with time and I half for all over time, in all in dustries. All labor organizations Tn Alaska have instructed us to the same end.
 Wishing above all things to be fair, and not work hardship on seasonal industries and on employ CTS who are SO unfortunate as to require longer hours in an emer- gency, the men who do the work have not urged double time for all Sunday work, nor insisted that they not be compelled to work on all legal holidays, nor that no overtime be permitted under any considera- tion. On the other hand these men who do the work have considered the needs of the communities of the Territory above their own and met the opposition more than half way.
 We are not being side tracked by substitute bills which have been prepared and presented without con sultation with those delegated to represent the interests of those who do the work and who should have some voice in saying under wha' conditions they shall labor. All we ask is a fair shake.
 The Dunn Pennington Began eight hour bills have been submit ted to us We have been conculted and advised with concerning their intent and purpose to the last com ma. They are O. K. with us. Fur ther more, the Territorial Attorney General has rendered such a favor able opinion on them, that they promise to stand the acid test of court decisions. Should they not be uheld in the local courts in sub stance" says the Attorney General "an appeal will be directed to the Supreme Court of the United States and every effort made to uphold the consritutionality of the statute"
 We believe in a square deal. A square deal for all. This includes
