DR. AND MRS. DAWES
 FIND SNOW IN EAST

A letter received this week from friends of Dr. l.. P. Dawes of this city. who left here some time ago enroute to the east, indicates he encountered some real polar weather in the middle western states.
 Delivery of his two new Buick automobiles was made in Mill waukee, where he met Mrs. Dawes. They motored to Friend ship, Wisconsin, and after heavy rainstorms. encountered snow, which called halt to their jour ney for few days.
 Business in the east is depress- ed, Dr. Dawes letter said, and money is cheap but it's circulation is poor.
 He expects to reach Chicago about April 25, and after spending a few days there, will start west. He did not say whether he had been to Mayo Brothers in Roches- ter, Minnesota, as he had planned on leaving here. MT. and Mrs. Dawes will probably return to Ju- neau early in June.

With a victory over the first year men tucked away last week, the Sophs have the inside track, and have only to defeat the Seniors to come out with a perfect average.

FIRST STRAWBERRIES
 REACH LOCAL STORES

The first strawberries of the season, How delicious they are, sweet, red, lusciousl The de- |lightfully reckless feeling one has when economy is forgotten, and that first box or two is really purchasedl The luxury of eating the rich red berries the first day they appear on the market is a luxury of more than the pocket book, it is one of the heart, soul and mind. One feels a trifle gull ty sepnding so much, when a little later they will really be better and much cheaper" - but talk as one will, nothing takes the place of the thrill of biting into the first strawberry of the season. No amount of them in midsummer will compensate for missing that rare treat.
 Juneau people apparently don't believe in denying themselves, for word soon passed around town yesterday that the first straw berries were on the market-and varied in price from 35 cents to 40 cents a box, and soon later the crates received by the differ ent markets in town were nearly empty-and the laggard house. wife had but half a dozen boxes to choose from instead of several dozens Today a scattered, lone some box or two can be found in town.

NEW SUPT. OF COAL CONCERN
 ARRIVES HERE
Evan Jones in. Juneau on Way to Admiralty Island
 Coal Co. Property

Evan Jones, pioneer coal man of Alaska and for the last three years superintendent of the Healy River Coal Company at the Suntrana mines, who is to be in charge of the Admiralty Island Coal Company at Kootznahoo h. let, arrived here last evening on the steamer Aleutian.
 With MT. Jones Is D. E. Rob- erts, who has been associated with him for many years, and who will also be at Kootznahoo. The men plan to leave soon for the scene of activities, but have not yet made arrangements. They planned to take the Margnita from here last night, but arrived less than one hour too late.
 Recognized as one of the best coal mine developers on the Pa cific Coast and as having excep- tional ability in the laying out of mines, MT. Jones has had many years of experience. He has been associated with coal de- velopment for nearly 35 years.
 Evan Jones was the president of the Evan Jones Coal Company at Jonesville in the Matanuska fields for several years, and prev ious to that was with several inn portant concerns in the States. For the last three years he has been superintendent of the Healy River Coal Company, and resign ed his position there, effective the first of this month, to take over his new position with the Admiralty Island Coal Company.
 Speaking in reference to the possibilities at Kootznahoo, MT. Jones declared the actual mining of the coal would present no diff faculties, and he was confident the quality was good. The only matter of doubt is the extent of the coal. he intimated, but ex- pressed his confidence in the sue cess of the venture. Recently at Healy River he had produc- tion as high as 275 tons per day, he said.
 With the arrival of summer Mrs. Jones and their children, who are now residing in An oboro0o ui1l prohahIv p,ova to Juneau to make their home, Mr. Jones said
 The Argo, Capt. Cedric Davis, may arrive here this week, ac- eording to Dr. Howe Vance, to take MT. Jones and MT. Roberts to Kootznahoo. She was expect ed to arrive here following a minor accident at the Inlet.
 A letter received by Dr. Vance announced damages to the boat were only slight, and necessary repairs were made after bleaching the Argo. The camp at the mine site has been completed, and on April IS the boat was in Kill lisnoo to pick up the machinery unloaded there by the Admiral Rogers.
 It was planned at that time to return to the mine, pump it out, and take out several sacks of coal to bring here as samples, Dr. Vance said today. He also said Capt. Davis is to leave the Argo, and take over position as mate on the Anna Barron.
