ALASKA JUNEAU TO
 INCREASE ITS OUTPUT

The Alaska Juneau mine will in crease it's output by 2,00O tons a day beginning the first of May, giv- ing it daily production of between 1000 and 5000 tons. It is hoped that the later figure may be reached and maintained. The present pro- duction averages 5,400 tons day. This will mean the addition of ap- proximately 75 men to the working force of the company. The mill will be worked three shifts instead of two as at present.
 In addition to this increased pro- duction there will be additional de- velopment work in the mine and improvements and additions to the mill.
 This is part of the general plan to develop and increase the capacity of the mine and mill of the Alaska Juneau company to produce a much larger tonnage.
 While the officials of the Alaska Juneau only announced their inten- | ton of increasing their output and plans for further development this
 week, ruinofs of it have been in
 the air here and in the East for two
 weeks or more, and the effect of the | rumors was noticeable in the ad- vance of it's stock in the New York exchange. Early in March Alaska Juneau stocks were quoted at about t65 cents, while late in March it had advanced to s125.

One of the returned service men residing in Cordova, had the follow ing to say about Major Johnson, whom he knew well, when shown the dis. patch concerning the Majors many medals:
 Johnson owns a large amount of tinware, in the form of medals, and the scribes occasionally write him up on that account but nothing vexes him more. The medals, which num- Der about fifty, were awarded for pre- miership as a marksman with revol- yer and rifle, for swimming, boxing and all-round athletic ability.
 Johnson was Brigadier- General of of that rank ever ppointed-before the world war. He hustled for a regular army, commission and was given the rank of major. He was picked for the Siberian expedition be. cause he speaks Russian, fluently, and understands the Siberian coun- try.
 Major Johnson is about 5 feet Ii inches tall, weighs 175 pounds and is veritable human dynamo. He has flashing black eyes and curly hair and carries himself with the proud, chal- lenging air of a man who recognizes no master. He is gentle, courteous and wondrous kind to interiors. The children of Vladivostok adore him.
 'When General William s. Graves landed at Vladvostok and was Joined whs had similar forces there, con- ferred immediately with, the Allies, who had similar forceh there, con- cerning the appointment of military police chief. They picked Johnson. He was given supreme authority. He zoned the town, which contained then about 100000 people, including mul- titude of refugees and thousands of outlaws and disorderly persons. He picked 200 men, including corps of
 American sharpshooters. His frs

MANILA, P. l., April Il. Major Samuel l. Johnson, who was in com mand of the international police force at Vladivostok in 1919, has just re- ceived his 27th decoration, the last one being the Chevalier Order of the Crown of Italy. This is the second decoration the Italian government has given Major Johnson who has medals from nearly every important govern ment on earth.
 Major Johnson is now manager of a large lumber company on the Isl and of Negros.
 Colonel Charles D. Rhodes, chief of staff of the Philippines department also received the decoration of Com mander of the crown of Belgium, the citation being read by the Belgian consul. Major Johnson's decorations have come from the following govern ments!! Three decorations have come from the Argentine Republic; the distinguished service cross tha si berian campaign medal from the Unit ed States; distinguished service order from Great Britain the croix de guerre with palm from France; em blem of the knight of the crown and order of the crown of Italy from Italy; distinguished service war cross from Czecho- -Slavakia; the rising sun, I'm perial order of Meiji from Japan; striped tiger of the order of Wen Hu from China order of the white eagle with sword from Serbia, and officers order of St. George and a dozen other decorations from Russia.

order was "shoot to kill, if necessary to shoot at all," but to rule by the power of kindness and justice, if pos sible.
 "One day Cossack officer,-a fel- low resembling Ataman Semenoff,-in his overbearing conduct, came to town, and in restaurant accidentally was jostled by young Italian soldier. Hot words followed. The private started away from the res taurant, in the deep snow, when the Cossack stepped outside and shot him in the back. Before the echo of his pistol had died away the Cossack was dead as Caesar. An American M. P, one of Johnsons deadshots, was observing the tragedy from across the wide street, and lit erally perforated the murderous Cos sack. The Italian soldier recovered. That was the way Johnson restored order and maintained military law.
 "One cold evening twenty-three Ser hian or Czecho-Slovak soldiers broke 6ift 6f their guard-house, armed them selves ahd went to Kopeck Hill, a tough districtj- where they barricaded themselves in a big house. The alarm reached Johnson at his headquarters. Looking carefully to his gtDs, which he wore at the hips, easily redehed through slits in his coat, Johnson quietly gave an order took one Amer ican sergeant and proceeded to the house. Everybody expjected him to be killed and bloody affray before the outlaws were captured. He strode straight up to the door and hammered for admittance. The runaways were no one had the nerve to shoot him. Finally they opened the door and in he strode. On such an occasion John son is a menacing and impressive per sonality. He glared at the group, standing about the big room, all armed No word was spoken for a minute Then Johnson roared an order The men fell into line by twos. The Major threw open the door and the men marched out. Thus he took them down the hill. At strategic places, they observed, American M. P.'s were standing, armed with hand grenades.
 "A fat chance you boys would have had. for life, had you fired upon me-" the Major said. After giving them severe lecture, he sent them back to the guard-house.
 General Graves and others said that such an incident in the states would have meant the beseiging of the house by numerous police, and fusilading, with probably number of casualties.
 "One day while Major Johnson was absorbed in dangerous problems, at his headquarters, boys voice was heard, high in anger.
 "'Great Scott! That's my kid!" ex- claimed Johnson, rushing to the door, where two guards were holding back a curly-headed lad of IA who was mak- ing desperate efforts to get loose and enter It was the Majors son, who had slowed away on transport and crossed the great Pacific to see his Daddy.

COMPRESSED AIR
Contributed by Mr.. L. B.

HE use of air in its lower condition
of compression for power and for
mechanical purposes has been known
from the earliest ages, and antedates any
knowledge we possess of the use of steam
by many generations
The reduction of metals from their ores
and the forging of iron and steel brought
the forge and blast furnace, with the use
of air under pressure, into existence as
mechanical appliances more than two
thousand years before the Christian era.
The evidences of the use of the air
blast under compression are plainly seen
depicted on the scuptured walls of the
structures of the oldest civilization, and
are made still more manifest in its en-
durated painting and in the legends of
the early historians.
The~frst inception of air power, as
gathered from the example of the winds,
seems to have been less progressive in its
uses than other of the mechanical arts;
for, while it formed one of the vital ele
ments in producing the metals, the inven-
tive instinct in handicraft seems also to
have been instilled in the early workers of
metals in creating the tools that by the
ancient genius of art worked out the
models of beauty that are our examples of
today.
The old methods of compressed ali pro-
duction seem to have taken on crude
and nearly stationary form for at least
two thousand years before, and for more
than thousand years after, the Christian
era, and in some parts of the world may
be seen in operation to this day.
In China India, Burmah Borneo, Afri-
ca and Madagascar the primitive methods
of COMPRISING air are still in use; the
air treading bags, the wooden cylinder and
piston, and the Chinese windbox are the
common devices for producing the air
blast The only further progress that ap-
pears on record in regards to the produc-
ton of compressed air and its uses for
power purposes has been handed down in
fragmentary history and mostly contained
in the pneumatics of Heron of Alexandria.
From the descriptions extant, he seems to
have been the first to invent or describe
the pressure air pumP<Qr compressor for
pressures greater than the forge blast,
and to have applied it in the famous foun-
tain attributed to him. Notwithstanding
the alleged ignorance of the ancients re-
specting the physical properties of the at
mosphere, there are circumstances related
in history which seem to indicate the re-
verse; for Diogenes of Apollonia reasoned
on its condesation and rarefaction.
The description of the fire engine of the
Egyptians as given in Heron's "Spiritalia,"
shows very plainly that the use of air
compression and its elasticity in the air
chamber of hydraulic pump were well
understood in the second century before
the Christian era.
The devices of the Egyptian priesthood
for exciting the wonder and awe of the
people, possessed as they were of the su-
perstitions and procliviities of that age,
were no doubt derived from a general
knowledge of many of the physical laws
of the elements possessed by the ruling
and priestly classes.
