1.nED
 With the first hint of sunshine this morning and the breath of spring in the air, the Juneau water front was galvanized into action and owners of gas boats that have long laid at the floats began work getting them in readiness for the summer season. Sails long furled, and damp and mouldy from disuse were flung to the breeze to dry in the sun; odd jobs of repair work, put off until the first fine day, were started.
 From now on until well along in the spring the sound of hammer and saw will be heard while boatmen make ready the vessels for the busy season. Trolling and work boats are being beached, calked and paint ed, patched and puttied, and will hit the water again shortly looking bright and new and ready for any work that may come up.

Survey of "Littlest Powers Discovers "Conqueror" of
 Delightful Manners.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-His- toric background for Monte Carlos national-and internationally in the economic scheme of things seems to have been discovered at last A survey of the 'littlest pow ers'' by the National Geographical, Society, just published, finds that Theodoric the Great was a man Of most delightful manners at dice" He alone of European conquerors, it adds gave Monaco respite frori wars.
 Theodoric must also be conceded the title of good stort" even in these modern times, for the Geo. graphers have found this comment on him:
 If Theodore loses, he laughs; wins"
 But they find no smaller nation to replace Monaco as the littlest power of the world, at least terri torially speaking. It's eight square miles, completely covered with gaming tables in popular fancy, is unmatched down the scale, it's popu- lation of 23,000 defies comparison Imports include visitors, 2.000.000 of 'em in 1913; revenues come from visiting bank rolls, it appears, and experts are chiefly bulging pockets or blasted hopes.
 San Marine, completely surround ed by Italy, stands next with 38,- 900 square miles, the geographic experts state, and is remarkable chiefly because it has virtually no police force. Reason for this is found in the retiring and peace-lov- ing disposition of the good saint after whom the little republic is named, for having finished helping oppressed Christians to wall in the city of Rimifii, San Marino; re- tired to this spot, so the legend goes to solitude and simple living and taught his people to make war only in self defense.
