suggest, and that is more street lights on Second street Have you noticed how dark this street is at night?" Moon Intends to Stick. MT. Moon of the Renovatory says
 We are doing full business It is better now than any time in its his
 tory We bank on Juneau all the time and we expect to stick as long as the rest do and they don't show any signs of ever quitting"

 ing forward to the opening of Tread we'll We appreciate Mir Bradley's

 | w. D. Brown, the sewing machine
 man, remarked; Business is very | good. I've been in Alaska eighteen
 years and fifteen years of that time was spent looking for gold I didn t | find. l wish 1 had come to Juneau | fifteen years ago and started in | business and l would have been well | off today. Yes, have a criticism to | make about Juneau. She's a great | old town for business, but there is a 1 few of our business men here that | nave grouch on always just out of | pure habit, not because they have 8
 reason to. They get up out of the wrong | side of the bed every morning. Smile
 l little more everybody, even if it
 hurts! Every one has troubles, bui
 it's only the joys we ought to talk about. Let us have harmony here
 Work side by side for, the common good and not to let ones religion ol
 politics have anything to do with his personal likings for his fellow towns
 men or stand in the way of doing
 something real for Juneau. Come on and be cheerful
 q think happy, smiling faces on | he streets do as much as anything | else to boost the old town"
 l Business Looking Up.
 Here is the statement of R. F. Mur- | )hy, sales agent for E. l. DuPont De Nemours & Co.,:
 | "As was to be expected during the year 1918 our sales from our Juneau magazine showed a marked decrease l However, the sales from this maga- zine for the first seven months of
 his year will compare very favorably with the sales for the same period
 If any year since this office was es- l ablished This year is showing a l renewed interest in mining and it is safe to predict that the Juneau Die
 'rict as well as the whole of Alaska
 will receive their share of attention. " l What Burford Says
 | George Burford of Burford's Cor
 ner, says: Anyone can see the con ditions are better and business i'm,
 proving here. I look for a big in-
 crease this fall and winter. It is no
 boom. We are not going through a
 construction period which makes ex-
 'ra money around town. It is the local patronage that is good We are in settled condition and busi
 ness is going to be good right
 through the year. We have an em- | plOyment register Every year we
 send on an average of 75O men, wom-
 en and children to jobs in canneries,
 mines and logging camps.
 | The majority return to Juneau | to spend their payroll. At the pres ent time I have five wires requesting
 men for good jobs. l am unable to
 get them. During the seven years
 never had the difficulty in getting
 help as at the present time. There
 are jobs waiting for all who want to
 work"
