When d. Van Hecke. divisi on

Railroad at Oklahoma, wants TO get
some place on his line, he wants TO
get there in a hurry.
For this reason a railroad taxi
was ingeniously devised to suit his
needs. The taxi used IS a Model Il
Buick automobile, altered 10 run

made in the car was the elimination
of the steering mechanism and the
changing Of the wheels to steel

FREEZING PLANT
 FOR JUNEAU NOW
 SEEMS CERTAIN
Representatives of Capitalists Interests in Cold Storage
 Here Are Coming.

A freezing plant will be estab lating to the proposed cold storage plant is most favorable, according to cabled information received by E. Valentine from H. H. Snow, who is now in Seattle. According to the c1 bleeram received by MT. Valen- tine, MT. Snow, the business man ager and consulting engineer, rep resenting the capitalists interested in the cold storage will be in Ju- neau shortly, possibly leaving from Seattle next Friday or Saturday.
 It is understod that the business manager and consulting engineer will look the situation over thor oughly and according to letter ad vices received by k. Valentine there seems to be the most optimistic outlook.
 Mr Snow arrived in Seattle sev eral days ago and has now been joined by others representing those who propose to erect the cold stOr age plant here. Details were to be perfected in Seattle and elsewhere regarding the proposition before the trip was undertaken to Juneau where final consummation of the deal is expected to be perfected,
 Financial obdics have moved slow, ly but surely" said MT. Valentine today, "and capital cannot be hurried in any enterprise. I have felt cer- tain from the start that the cold storage plant would be constructed here and the coming of those inter- estcd in the deal further sustain my convictions. We must all pull to- gether, put factionalism out of sight and work one and all for Juneau and show everybody we are right in all we have said regarding the fresh fish industry, showing Juneau is center of this industry and that we have backed out faith with our money"

STAMPEDERS HEADING
 FOR CHANDELAR GREEK

Several people, passengers on the steamer Alameda, passed through Juneau yesterday enroute to north of the Arctic Circle headed for the latest gold strike in the Chandc- lap district The strike, which was reported some time ago, was made on Big Creek, about 150 mics north of Beaver on the Yukon River.
 Gold was first discovered Cn Big Creek several years ago but efforts to line up any substantial body of Lay dirt were futile until last fall and early winter. The latest strike there resulted in a payctreak 80 feet wide being uncovered. The creek is said to be between 40 and 50 miles long. It is expected that 9 considerable number of miners will be in the district this summer, prospecting and opening up ground on Big Creek and other streams in the Chandelar.

 So far everything has been work irg smoothly at the company's plant, according to Mr. Lass, and no at tempt has been made to rush produc- ton up to capacity, but the quality Of the product has been kept up.
 The full crew of about thirty men are working and loggers are getting out logs The weather at Speei River has been favorable for work ing purposes.

FISH INDUSTRY
 WILL SPEED UP
 FORREST CLAIMS
Juneau Business Man Is Back With Many Optimistic
 Reports of Big Deals.

The fresh fish industry in Alaska coming two and possibly three years according to George F. For rest who has returned to Juneau after a three months visit in Wyoming and Seattle. The situa- tion confronting the canned fish industry is not of the best, accord ing to MT Forrest, and as the east wants fresh fish, salmon and hali- but, extensive business in this line is expected.
 For the past two months l have been in Seattle and listening to nothing but gloom talk and con- fronting gloomy situations and l am glad to return to Juneau where there is more optimism in ten min utes than there is in Seattle in one week." said MT. Forrest today
 'I found that the wool situation in Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon was in worse condition than the canned salmon condition in Alaska. The wool growers have borrowed in such heavy sums from the banks, that the banks must now feed the herds or lose everything. The fish industry is better for sev- eral canneries will be operated and the salmon product is now moving.
 'I found that everybody who has been to Alaska wants to return. The tourist business this year is going to be the largest ever seen and if Alaska can show what is being done towards stability in de- velopment, Alaska will profit greatly.
 Juneau is bound to create much attention on account of the pulp production now at Speel River; fu- ture production in this line, Gs well as paper manufacture, and the fresh fish industry which is certain to receive a great stimulus this com ing season, not taking into consid- eration production from mines in this vicinity which is to increase this year owing to companies secur- ing greater financial backing.
 The fresh fish industry, is how ever, l believe going to be greater in Juneau this year than ever be- fore. understand that the cold storage plant is assured. Oliver Orange also told me that he had about closed deal in Seattle which will prove a boom to the fresh fish business on Gastineau channel. An other deal is being perfected, the particulars of which I am not at liberty to divulge, which will bene- fit and increase the fresh fish industry.
 II would rather be in Juneau to- day than any other town or city l know of for I believe this city is ! coming to the front in great form

Taxing of Old Maids and Bachelors
 In Alaska Proposed

"I will undoubtedly present to the Territorial Legislature, a measure to tax bachelors and old maids in Alaska" said Sen ator-elect E. E. hamberilin. during his visit here last week on his way South. q under stand that Alaska will need all the money possible for running expenses and as revenue will be cut from many former sources, new schemes must be presented to raise money. Alaska has hundreds of bachelors and old maids. l myself come under the bachelor clause. but that does not matter, l will be game for the sake of the Territory

NEW CARDS FOR
POSTAL SAVINGS DEPOSlTORS

The United State Postal Savings
System is today marking its tenth

savings card which will displace the
le-cent postal savings card which has
been in use since the establishment
cf the system on January l, 1911.
The new card will furnished free
of cost and when ten t0-cent postal
saving stamps have been affixed to
It will be accepted at any depository
office as n deposit of 81 or it may
be redeemed in cash. The outstand.
ing feature of the new card is the
translation into twenty-four foreign
languages Of the stat sment that the
faith of the United States is solemn,
ly pledged to the payment of depos-
its made with the system.
The Service was first established
Mt forty-eight post offices, one in
each state, on January /, 1911, and,
although hampered by many restric-
tions as to rate Of interest and max
imum amount allowed on deposit, il
has shown remarkable progress
Postmaster General Burleson an
nounces that the amount on deposit
today is more than S162, 100000
and its depositors have long since
passed the one-half million mark.
The original act of Congress re
stricted the total amount to be plac-
cd on deposit at $500 and the de-
post Of this amount was limited to
not more than 500 per month. La
ter The monthly limitation was en-
tirely removed and The maximum
amount increased first to $1,000 and
hen to the present amount. $4,000
Postmaster General RGrleson, in the
annual report just submitted to Con
grcss recommends inceasing the rate

action by Congress will, no doubt,
be taken along these lines within the
near future.

Judson c. Welliver writes In the

OF the future are rather vague, be-
cause we are unable to realize its
mere bigness. Thus the island Of New
Guinea. the greatest island In the
world. If we classify Australia As a

between the British. Dutch and Ger.
mans. The British have now taken
over. In the name of Australia, the
German claims.
We think of New Guinea as con.
siderable patch of dry land In the ex-
panse OF the southern ocean. but have
difficulty realizing that II 1t could be
laid down on the United States, one
end would be at Portland, Me. the
other near Omaha. and that It would
blot out an area about twice the size
OF the German empire, and including
something like II quarter Of the poRula-
tion Of these United States. 1t con
tains vastly greater resources than
Germany, also about thousand white
people and 100000 abOrlgines largely
cannibals. Half Of II yet remains
Dutch, but Its predestlnatlon to be
essentially British Is quite obvious.
Australasia aims at leadership In
the south temperate zone. on lines Gu
riously parallel to those by which
Great Britain has become leader In the
North. With incxhaustible coal and
iron. she is creating Iron and steel and
shipbuildin- industries and navy OF
