has been put on the train at Grants

Ger.
Parole Officer Compton brought
him to the city Jail He said that the
boy has been sentenced to two years
in the penitentiary for forgery. He
asked that ne be kept there until he
could find him work.
For three days now Sam has been
lettering around the city hall, assist
ing Janitor Jehu Oliver with his work,
and gossiping with police and fire
men. He doesn't know why he is not
to leave the premises, and
has made no effort to abscond.
Because he bore no commitment

Salem from Grants Pass alone, au-
thorities are puzzled to know wheth

The first round of the Empey-Mur-

land a lab to his chin. Empey held
up his arms and took the light whirl-

a smile. When Murphy's volley OF
light taps lessened Empey permitted
him to cling to him while he reached
behind the Irishman and playfully
spanked him. Murphy was breathing

and was laughing as Murphy followed
him blindly around the mat tapping
him on the stomach.
The third round was much like the
second, only Empey tired Of virtually
carrying the Irishman around the
ring, and kept him off with gentle
blows on the chin. Empey's nose was
bleeding, and Murphy, in his eager
ness to land somewhere on the Cana

mat. throughout the bout he main

LARGE PRODUCE
 HOUSE LOCATES
 JUNEAU BRANCH
Pacific Fruit and Produc i, Compay Opens Here-H.
 !. Noble Made Manager.

Announcement that the Pacific Fruit and Produce Company, of Sc attle have esta blished branch house here for the convenience of the local trade and for shipment of sup plies to Western Alaska as well as to other towns in this vicinity was made today by George E. Berlin, sales manager for the company. The local branch will be under the charge of H. J. Noble who has represented the company in Alaska as salesman for several months during which , time he has resided in Juneau.
 Mr Berlin has been here for the past week opening up the house and getting everything in readiness for operation He is well satisfied with the outlook for business and has great confidence in Juneau as a dis tributing point for the district.
 There is plenty of business in this country of which Juneau is the center" he said, "to make it possible for wholesale house to operate here successfully. We are establish ing a branch here with the idea of it being permanent and hope to have the cooperation of the local mer- chants in doing so. We will carry an almost complete stock in the Juneau house, and fresh shipments will come to us on every boat from the South. Certain of the highly perishable ar ticles which require cold storage fac ilities for keeping any length of time cannot at the present time be car ried in the local stock, but will be carried in the Seattle house and shipped direct to Juneau as needed to fill orders." .-.
 Juneau, said MT Berlin, looks good to him as a business center. The opening of the pulp industry, he ad-
