 Now, if it is possible for the auth critics to frame plans to effect a means of protecting the fish indus try and our great mines to produce profit in their operation, more satisfactory place than Juneau to live in does not exist, and I travel some, too"

Fisher Says Business Good.

Harry J. Fisher of C. w. Young Company, says: Our business has been very good. But we should not settle back in our chairs and be per fectly content with it as it stands. We should study conditions care fully. We should get busy here and put Juneau in such shape that when labor troubles are settled in the States that we shall have no trouble in getting help. We must make Ju- neau an attractive town to live in So much can be done in this way by property owners. We need more lights at night. Make the old channel blaze like she used to-"
 Better Than Satisfied"
 Satisfied" isn't the word for Butler Mauro Company Ask them about the outlook and they talk like this;
 What do we think about the out look for Juneau? Judging from our own business the outlook never was brighter. Every month this year we have enjoyed steady increase in business and July was the banner month. Our business now shows 50 per cent increase over last year and we can truthfully say that we like Juneau and firmly believe that all the people that stick with our tory, will never regret it."
 Glad They Came Here.
 The Style Shop" is a new store, but Mir Epstein says: From present indipations l feel very optimistic. We have only been open since April and we already have sufficient proof of the wisdom of our choice of Ju neau in preference to any other town for business.
 Merchants are somewhat at a dis advantage on account of the short age of goods, but there is no lack for demand We have done fine with the stock we have been able to SC cure Market conditions are bound to change for the better, and our expectations of Juneau will be more than realized"
 Light on Subject.
 The Alaska Electric Light Com pany says, "Our business is so much better than this time last year. The the call for electrical appliances Is increasing daily. We are extending our transmission lines on the Thane road and we are now lighting up most of the cottages below the Alas ka Juneau mine. No one who has survived the fiu the floods, the wreck, and the war in this locality during the last year and half has any reason to doubt his ability to make good Juneau is going ahead steadily and has held her own with all these drawbacks"
 From Simon Hirsch.
 Simon Hirsch of the Juneau Billiard Parlors is believer in Ju- neau. Business" says MT. Hirsch, lis fine We have an ideal climate, think. It seems good to be back in Old Juneau.
 No Profteers in Juneau.
 Everybody knows F. E. Parsons and values his opinion. When asked how the town looked to him, MT. Par sons observed:
 Alaska in general and Juneau in particular seems to be prosperous. My acquaintance with the merchants selling clothing and mems furnishings is that they are doing an increasing business each year. This is surely the case in Juneau and should be the basis to estimate what progress our town is making. Of course the cost of living is very high but Juneau has no profteers, that's sure, for the cost of living at home and in the res taurants is much less than in coast

Outlook for Business Never Better. 'The business of the First National Bank is greater than ever in it's his tory" said Harold H. Post, cashier of that institution. We attribute that to the improvement in business, the development of this section of Alaska and the growing wealth of Juneau and it's section. The outlook for rapid growth was never better in this community. Our business shows more and larger deposits than ever, and a greater volume of trade as evidenced by the increased move ment of funds People are coming to this community moro rapidly than they have come for years. Our popu- lation is growing, and the indica- tions are that 1t will continue to grow If we are to judge from the past, the condition of business at this time suggests an excellent fall and winter trade. the best we have had in years. I have lived in severa, parts of Alaska, and like them all. hut feel that I made no mistake when cast my lot with Juneau It is staple, prosperous and built upon an absolutely solid foundation It should get better and better for an indefinite erm of years"
 Arneson Is Pleased.
 S. J. Arneson of Arneson Jewelry Company is well pleased with this years business. and thorough op- imist. He says;
 "We Alaskans should be proud to be in place like Juneau; nothing to fear plenty to wear, and plenty tc eat, and work to do. We can live here cheaper than in California; the price of eatables are cheaper than in the States, although our freight rates have increased. Business has been good under the present conditions and is improving each day Mer chants that stood it through the great crisis certainly had faith in good old Juneau and are on their way to prosperity. Today we have many more great enterprising con cerns focBing for sites in and near Juneau The fishing industry, how ever, should have more attention. The more navy vessels that visit us, the better boost it is for us. They ad vertise our city"
 R. p. Nelson Talks.
 R.. P. Nelson, our pioneer station cry man, when asked how business was replied
 "Yes. my business has been excep tionally good for the past si, months, and has almost equalled the boom years of 1914-1915, and at thi. time I may say that the future pros poets for the town of Juneau looks very encouraging"
 From Peter Jelich.
 Peter Jelich of the Arcade Cafe says: My business couldn't be bet ter I have very good trade. l should be very glad, however when lHe COSt pIlCcS So uoWH fOI III stance can of lard that used to cost $9 now costs us $21 And all other prices have advanced accordingly. Az a result we have been obliged to charge more for meals, but 1 look forward to the day when we can of fer good meals at lower prices, and I guess it isn't far off. We need labor up here. Every one is offering good wages. There is only one real cloud in the sky that annoys us greatly, and that is the lack of steam ships. We are in urgent need of them We clamor for them, but it has got to the point where we ought to get another line in here or con vince the companies operating here that we would prefer to be handed a few more boats instead of so many stories. Let's get busy!"
