JOHN HARRIS DIES
 YESTERDAY MORNING

John Harris, 65, oldtime AL askan and well known local man, passed away at the St. Ann's Hospital at 12:30 o'clock yester- day morning following stroke of paralysis which he suffered last Tuesday morning.
 Born in England in 1863, MT. Harris came to this country many years ago and spent some time in the Interior of Alaska, later coming to Gastineau Chan nel when he went to work for the Treadwell Company. It was there that he received injuries which badly crippled him for the remainder of his life.
 Later, he was made night merchant patrolman in Juneau, and in this position he made many friends and was well known. Last March he moved to the St. Ann's Hospital where he made his home until his death.
 He is survived by brother in Victoria, hospital attendants said today, but nothing is known in regards to other relatives. No arrangements have been made for funeral services. The body is at the Juneau Young Under taking Parlors.

 Mary. darling" she says as the little girl rouses a bit while Mo ther tucks her in, why did you say no to Mother? You never did such a thing before. It isn't like my little girl at all"
 Half tearfully, but firmly too, after, much persuasion, Mary lex plains: Well, Mother, you didn't say please, and you never do anything for me unless l say please first"
 And why not? Is it not natural for Mary to expect Mother to re- member her manners-Mother, who is always reminding Mary of hers?
 Of course, Mary had not the courage to remind Mother at once. Had she done so, she would most likely have been punished for im- pertinence. We grown ups are apt to consider it impertinence when child calls our attention to such omissions. Mary had not meant to be rude; she was onl..- demanding fair play.
 Of course, we know Mother fell! sure at the time that there WA .some reason for such unwon.ed behavior on the part of Mary, and if she had had the wisdom and strength to control her anger and find out Mary's reason for di,- obeying instead of nursing her displeasure all the afternoon, what a lot of unhappiness migh- have been spared both.
 So much tragedy! All because Mother forgot to say please"

MccoRMicks RETURN HOME

There is no place like home, and where one has lived for more than 40 years, surely no oth- CT place could equal it. At least so thought Mr and Mrs. Richard Mccormick who have been visit ing their daughters, Mrs. Ed Husl- but and Mrs. Herbert Schuman in Forest Grove, California. for the past four months. They had fine time on their visit, visited the neighboring country by car and enjoyed themselves as much as anyone could. But when pre- parations were started to make their stay there permanent. they decided to return to their Alaska home in spite of many induce ments that were offered 10 keep them. They are glad to get back, they say.
 Miss Rita and Ray Mccormick also returned home with their parents. The Seattle Post-Intelli- gencer of January 24 contains q full-length picture of the McCor- micks in connection with an inter- view in which they landed Doug las.

the best of our knowledge, it is by far the
fastest authenticated performance ever re-
corded on this greatest of all testing grounds;
and certainly it has never even been claimed,
so far as we know, that any Jfpe-passengev
Sedan regardless of size weight or price had
ever even approached this new mark.
Here are some interesting and Illuminating
sidelights of this record-breal1ing performance:
l. The mark of 81 miles an hour over the top
was accomplished not once but at least ten
times in succession without intermission.
2. The car was driven not by professional
stunt-driver, but by one of our own engi-
neers, P. A. Collins
3. A vicious right.angle left-hand turn, four
tenths of mile from the summit, made it
absolutely necessary to ''cut out" the gas in
approaching the turn, because speed
greater than As miles an hour around the
turn would be fatal. And yet in that re-
naming 40 of a mile, climbing grade be-
tween 10 and 1879, the Flying Cloud regularly
accelerated to 81 miles per hour at the top.

NEW YORK, June 2S.--Neither poll
tics nor Summer vacations have served
to check the tremendous growth of the
book business in the United States.
More people will buy and read books
in 1928 in this country than ever be-
fore, according to publishers. The lat
ter declare that business Is better than
ever and that orders from distributors
assure record breaking year.
There Is no trepidation anywhere
among book pobbers, wholesalers or
publishers" said Max Schuster, mem
Der of a New York publishing firm
today. Conditions naturally vary
somewhat in various sections of the
country. They are especially good now
along the Pacific Coast.
1T is true, however, that the book
business is not always an accurate in
dicator of business conditions. Some
times the book business shows increases
during periods of unemployment just
as the attendance at moving picture
theaters and ball games reflect the
presence of business depression.

COTTON GOES LOWER.
IN TODAYS DEALINGS
Disappointing Cables and Tendency
to Take Down Profits Are
Bearish Factors.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, June 28.--The cotton
market opened steady today at de-
cline of S to 10 points, October con-
tracts selling off to 2218 under real
izing and local selling. No particular
news feature was mentioned In explana-
ton of the decline, but Liverpool
cables seemed rather disappointing
from the buliish standpoint and there
was evidently a disposition to take
profits on long cotton after the rally
late yesterday.
The decline brought in covering and
commission house buying, which stead
led the market up to 22.32 for October,
but the bulge was not fully maintained
active months showing net losses OF
about 8 to 10 points at the end of the
first hour.
Private cables reported continental
buying and trade calling supplied by
realizing in the Liverpool market and
only small turnover IN cotton cloths,
with buyers cautious.
Offerings were lighter after the early
selling had been absorbed and the mar
ket firmed up during the forenoon or
continuance of bullish crop advices
from the South and the outlook fol-
further showers over good part OF the
belt. The bulges met realizing or liquida-
ton, but it was taken on slight set
backs, and the midday market was
steady to firm, with active months
showing net advances Of about to Il
points.
