BENEFIT SMELLS
 TOTAL FOR FUND
 TO ALMOST S14O0
Exceptional Program Given at Governor House-Drive
 Ends This Evening.

A total of $62 was added to the local fund for the starving children of Europe from admissions paid tc the musicale given at the home Of . Gov and Mrs. Thomas Riggs Sat 'urday evening by Mrs Ned Carlson of Thane. aided by Mrs. Riggs. This together with last minute donations according to local Chairman l.. D Henderson. will probably bring Ju- neaus entire subscription to the fund up to $1,4Oo. The campaign closes tonight throughout the country.
 The program presented to those fortunate enough to attend was eX- ceptionally interesting, One critic and musician declared the material offered outshone anything of like character ever submitted to local music lovers. Mrs. Carlson delighted her hearers with her imaginative and musically intelligent rendition of a difficult and varied program, consisting principally of works of
 
 erican composers, the one exception being the stirring Turkish March from the Ruins of Athens, by Beeth- ven-Rubinstein.
 Mrs Carlson was probably at her best in her rendition of the above number by Beethoy en- Rubenstein and, particular credit must be given 10 the musician, for the tone in sub dued moments, for never before in Juneau has such quality of tone been heard, it's beauty being mar vicious. She was equally interesting in every number in her varied pro- gram, each of which was prefaced with a short description prior to its rendition, and which was much ap- preciated by the audience
 Concluding her performance Mrs Carlson responded to a double en- core and, delighted her friends with a beautiful rendition of a Study in Japanese.
 "A very praistworthy contribution to the program was supplied by Mrs Thomas Riggs, who very ably assist ed Mrs. Carlson as soloist her eX- ceptionally pleasing mezzo soprano voice being heard to splendid adyan- tage in Metcalf's Little House o Dreams and Coningsby-Clark The Dove The singer gained especial favor however, for her rendering ot the Coningsby-C Clarke number I Will Await Thee which she presented with refinement of expression and creditable vocal beauty. Mrs. Riggs was enthusiastically encored tG which she responded with Noe Johnson's Grey Days.

MILL PLANNED ON FALCON ARM
 MINING CLAIMS
Supt. Strom Says Develop ment of Property to Pro- ..
 ceed in the Spring.

That the Falcon Mining Company, with claims at Falcon Arm, Chi chagof Island will start upon the erection of a mill as soon as the ore body is struck is the news brought to the city by Elmer Strom. Super intendent of the mine, who has re- gently arrived here after business trip to- Seattle where he conferred with officials of the company.
 For the past several years the Falcon Mining Company has been doing development work on what is said to be a rich group of claims on Chichagof Island, assays of the rock from the ledge showing high values in gold and other minerals. At the present time a tunnel is being driven, which, according to MT. Strom, will soon tap the main ledge
 Much preliminary work has been done beside tunnel driving, includ- ing the building of wharf, power line. tram road and mine buildings. More men are to be put on early in the Spring, according to MT. Strom and it will not be long after the additional crew of miners starts work before the long tunnel will hit tho ore body Work then will commence on the mill, material for which, since the completion of the wharf last Fall can be landed di- rcctly at the mine from steamers from the south.
 The size or style of the mill that will ultimately handle the ore from the mine has not been determined yet, it is said, although company officials last Fall voiced the opinion that a small stamp mill would be set up first, with a larger one to follow and perhaps a combination of pro- cesses if the nature of the ore war ranted it.
 According to Mir. Strom, directors and stock holders in the Falcon Mining Company will be on the ground personally in the Spring and an endeavor will be made to have the mine on a producing basis by next Fall.
 AIr. StrOm will leave for Falcon Arm on the company's boat Maid following her arrival here.

NO WONDER CONGRESS is SHOCKED

This is how the Association of Railway Executives,
speaking through Julius Kruttschnt would remedy the
railroad situation:
Discourage the for carrier purposes
of highways built with public moneys.
So regulate inland waterways that their traffic
will be diverted to the railroads.
Keep the United States government of the
business of operating steamships, which is another
way of demanding the abandonment of the program
to build up great merchant marine
Establish tolls Panama Canal commerce that
will curtail its for the transport of freight from
coast to coast.
Do not enforce the long and short haul clause.
A bolder venture in reaction has not been made in
many years. Recognition of these demands would

Why did they cease levying taxes the oxcart and

MEMORIAL DAY

1t deserves grateful observance. 1t
is reminiscent of sacrifice and of the
devotion and loyalty which counts not
the cost. On that day, it BELTS us
all who have served our country in
her wars. Our soldier dead deserve
the tribute of our presence in those
quiet lanes along which they sleep.
Our living veterans deserve this sim
pie expression of appreciation of
their sacrifcial service. And we our
selves need the solemn inspiration of
the day that the flame of patriotism
may the brighter burn in our breasts,
and that we may be moved to rededi-
cate ourselves to the service of our
country not only for the emergency
of war but through all the dull and
dangerous days of peace. Why deny
ourselves thrill out of Old Glory?
"Off with your hat as the flag goes by!
And let the heart have its say;
You're man enough for tear in your
eye,
That you will not wipe away.
You're man enough for thrill that
goes
To your very finger-tips-
Ay! the lump just then in your throat
that rose
Spoke more than your parted lips.
Lift up your boy on your shoulder
high,
And show him the faded shred;
Those stripes would be red as the
sunset sky
If death could have dyed them red.
OFF with your hat as the flag goes by!
Uncover the youngsters head;
Teach him to hold it holy and high
For the sake of it's sacred dead"
