Chile Is Attracting
 Barbers from Japan

TOKYO, Jan. 2.-About 200 of the 500 Japanese residing in Chile are barbers, 15O farmers and the rest small merchants, ac- coriing to Nobumichi Sakenbu. Minister to the South American republic.
 More Japanese emigrants arc needed in Chile, in the opinion of SakenObu, and he Is urging the government to provide subsidies for the transportation of some of Japan's excess population to that country.
 Most Japanese think Chile is barren and unfit for farming" he said. But all of the non-moun- tainous land, except small dis trict in the north where nitrate of soda is deposited, is fertile"
 He believes that Japanese who take their families to Chile and settle there might make a great success at raising tropcal fruits.

$26 6,000, the $15,000 home of l.. r Morris on the Salmon Creek road and the three homes constructed for w. E. Kirk at a cost of $1j, 900.
 Local Money Used
 An encouraging fact pointing to the prosperity of Juneau is that practically all of the money for the construction of the Juneau Cold Storage plant was secure l locally. The building is one of the finest of it's kind and a credit to any city.
 The Southeastern Alaska Fair building is the realization of a dream fostered by the instigators of the annual fair since it's in- ception several years ago. It's spaciousness and accommodations were so planned as to be adapts able to considerable increase of past worthy exhibits.
 Rapid Growth
 The growth of the Juneau Lum- Der Mills, ,from a small plant sup plying local trade to the large organization it has become, ship ping to all parts of Alaska and foreign ports is one of the mos. praiseworthy achievements in the city; a growth which has been brought about within only a few years. The satisfactory condition is that the business is still being developed. Arrangements are now being made to build an ex. tensive warehouse, from the front of the dock where the Morris fish building now stands. to the street. A contract has already been let for the rockfill and construction is to be started early in the spring.
 Considerable building has been done on Lower Front Street i,l the vicinity of the Juneau Cold Storage plant. A large building has been constructed by Tom Davein and extensive additions have been made to the Warner Machine Shop and to the Maxi Rooming House. The B. M. Behr. ends building, on Third and Franklin, and opposite the Mac Kinon Apartments, was almost en. tirely rebuilt.
 The progress of two dairies on Glacier Highway was indicated in building. The Sweitzer dairy site was moved and new barns aud cottages were constructed, and several thousand dollars was ex pended by the Alaska Dairy m building and painting.
 Many New Homes
 While it is impossible to ascer tain the entire amount of build ing accomplished during the past year notable fact is the increase in homes, indicating permanen cy and staple growth for the flu ture of Juneau.
 Not only have homes beer built in practically all available sites in desirable residential dis tricts within the city but two beautiful homes have been con strueted on Glacier Highway. in cluded in large tracts of land These two are the homes of J c. Thomas and l.. F. Morris. Summer Homes There was noticeable spur in the interest of summer homes on Glacier Highway during tn. past summer season. J.

other branches of the fisheries. notably i'm mild cured salmon and fresh halibut, and not so marked in mild cured herring and fresh salmon. In the herring meal and oil industry the production was not as heavy as in 1926.
 Loss in Metals
 Losses were experienced in gold, silver and copper ore. The combined value of gold and sil- yer shipments was s5.427.O53 as compared to s5.779.47S in 1926. These figures are incomplete as by-mail shipments are not in- cluded. These will be Jumped in the December figures and includ- ed in Collector McBride's annual report.
 The decline in value in copper shipments was more pronounced. The total of copper ore shipped was 5S,154,56f pounds having a value of $S,042.161. In the first II months of 1926 the value of shipments of that commodity was $10,030, 0,095.
 Furs made the most striking gain of any of the Alaskan pro ducts for the year. The total worth of all shipments was $2,- 076,722, which does not include by-mail shipments and fur seal belts from the Pribilof Islands. The principal cause for the in crease was the opening of cer- tain areas to beaver trapping. It is estimated that the value of beaver taken during the season was close to $750.00e

able. There will be experts at the regular stamp windows. but because of lack of space no other windows can be opened.
 Another thing which often causes a package to fail to arrive at its destination is the fact that many people attempt to mail parcels wrapped as they come from the store. Unless the clerk at the bundle counter is told the parcel must be packed for mailing. it is likely to be less securely wrapped and will come open in the mails.
 Advises Insuring Packages
 MT. Erwin also pointed out the fact that the insurance fee is so small, all valuable packages should be insured. This, he explains. serves two purposes: it insures the sender against loss and gives the post office something upon which to work if the package goes astray. Many packages go astray. but seldom if ever except when improperly ad- dressed he adds
 The toastmaster stressed the im- portance of a return address on every envelope. This may be either on the front or back of the en- velope. It need not contain the name of the sender, the street address be- ing sufficient.
 The post office already has turned over approximately 100 letters ad- dressed to Santa Claus to Miss Cora M. Beale. executive secretary of the Welfare association. Miss Beale will see that these are delivered to Santa Claus

'CORRECT ADDRESS
 INSURES DELIVERY
Postmaster Erwin Advises Pub lie to Think Before Mailing

More than 5000 letters. greeting cards and Christmas packages from New Britain went to the dead letter office during the week between Christmas and New Years last year, according to Postmaster H. E. Erwin. because of nproper adresses. The postmaster today issued his annual appeal to local people to address their mail properly and assure the delivery Of their letters, parcels or cards at their destination
 This carelessness, according to the postmaster. is not among people who know no better, but among the most enlightened. He remarks that the most illlterate take the most pains and in the long run are the most accurate. Last week a young woman, whom none of the clerks knew, rushed into the post office. hurriedly purchased special delivery stamp and a regular stamp, stuck them on letter. dropped it into the slot and rushed out. The letter had no writing on the outside of the enve- lope. neither forwarding address or return address. It did have the special delivery stamp. Tn other words" said Assistant Postmaster Edward J. Munson." she was in a bigger hurry than usual to get her letter to the dead letter office" "Or else commented the postmaster "she wanted 1t to go nowhere and get there quickly" Tn either case the young woman's letter has gone to

 Christmas Mall Growing
 The handling of Christmas mail at the post office has started and packages are going out in large numbers. The incoming rush is not quite so large yet but is growing every day. By Saturday it will be necessary to add extra trucks and extra clerks and carriers to the working force.
 At present the parcel post sta- ton on Court street is handling np- wards Of 5000 parcels daily. This will increase 10 several times that amount within a week.
 A situation which calls for addi- tional thought. according to the postmaster, is the fact that Christ mas this year falls on Tuesday. mak- ing only enc post office working day between two holidays. There will be no mail deliveries on Sunday and none on Tuesday. Monday business will be twice as heavy as any other day because of the accumulation over the week end and many who wait until Friday or Saturday to mail packages are apt to be disap- pointed,
 Buy Stamps in Advance
 One way for people to avoid find ing 1t necessary to stand in line at the post office or parcel post station when mailing packages. the post master advises, IS to buy stamps ahead Of time. weigh their pack ages at home. and have the stamps on before they get to the post office. This will help avoid congestion. With the present crowded quarters at the post office there are not enough stamp windows. and no more avail
