 of Money in Pockets

, With the fishing season about over many natives are coming to town each day, after their seasons work at the various canneries. The natives have money in every pocket and are not a bit backward about spending it on the various luxuries and necessities of the capital city.
 Not the least of the attractions to the minds of the natives are the various jitneys operating about the city and it is a common sight to see crowds of the natives taking sight seeing trips about the city.
 One native daughter was observed who took her seat in an ocean going auto, tucked the lap robe about her silk stockings. pulled up the collar of her fox skin coat and murmured, with wave of her hand the equiv alent of Home, James" to the driver. She did all these things with the dignity and grace of .dowager

 SPRING TRADE
Juneau Lumber Mills Co. Will Take Steps to Anti cipate Fall and Spring
 Season

The Juneau Lumber Mills Company is stacking up a big stock of lumber in it's yards here for the late fall and early spring trade Heretofore this company has been unable to meet orders at these seasons.

 The mill is now running on large stock order from the Gastineau Min ing Company and when this is fin ished unless some special order comes in, saving will be discon tinued
 Rooms with approximately a mil lion and half feet of lumber are now anchored in safe places in the channel to be sawed up early in the spring before the towing season opens in the spring
 The camery tender Phoenix of the Sanborn Cutting cannery at Rake is awaiting a deck load at the saw mill wharf and a large scOw from the Columbia Packing Company at Tena kee is also awaiting a load.
