1929 AND JUNEAU.

The year that closes today has been good worker and faithful friend to Juneau progress not withstandng that it stumbled little in Wall and Broad Streets toward the end Never has Juneau experienced greater optimism with good reasons behind it. This year has witnessed the Alaska Juneaus landing with both feet fairly upon the sunny side of the street. It has seen continued progress in pulp and paper development. It has brought about sufficient development in the Taku country to make it nearly certain anything short of actual operation be that this district is to have another rich mining section It has given the Hirst- -Chichagof mill and increased its output and profits It has built the Triangle Building, extended the paved streets and begun the Capitol.
 The only break in an otherwise uniform suc- cession of good fortune that due to the Stock market collapse quite number of Juneau- ties suffered losses It is just too bad that they did not have all their money in Alaska Juneau.
 However the old year has cleared the right of way in such a that everybody ought to and probably will recoup their losses in 1880.

SNOW LADY'S PARTY By Mary Graham Bonner

The Snow Lady was so busy send ing cut snow for the holiday sea- son and attending to the messages that came in asking for snow that she could not pay much attention to to John and Peggy.
 But she asked them to look about the palace and to see other members of the family who might be around.
 They heard the Breeze messen- gers coming in asking for snow, and they saw the telegrams brought in by the Wind asking for snow for the holidays, for coasting, for the new sleds, for the pleasure that snow would give.
 It was very exciting seeing them come like this, and they watched the Snow Lady as she kept sending more and more members of the Snow Flake families out on their adventures into the world.
 How they did laugh and scam- per and run races and play as they started off How they tossed about this way and that as they began their trip.
 And then John and Peggy looked all over the palace and saw the gorgeous rooms and the beautiful staircases and the chandeliers made of icicles.
 But what interested them most of all were the family portraits and statues all over the palace. There were so many of them!
 All the famous members of the snow family had their portraits made at some time or other, and as John said to Peggy:
 Really, some of them are very grand, but some of them look quite as plain as the snow men we make in the winter.
 Peggy agreed that it was quite true.
 Then the Little Black Clock said it was time to leave, so the Snow Lady waved them goodby-and as she did so both John and Peggy were covered with some light, soft snowl

What You May
Want TO Know
About Building

Questions addressed to this pa
per tOiH BE- GssSsDeTed By the ArchS-
tects' Small House Service Bnre0W
Of the United States, Inc. Enclose
a stamped addressed envelope.
Owe have pine flooring
in the kitchen. How would you
suggest finishing this floor?
A-Cover It with lnoleum.
Q-Can walls Of rough sand
finish be papered?
A-Not satisfactorily unless they
are canvased. Paper on rough sand
finish does not lie smoothly, the
heavier sand particles show through.
Owe have thought Of using
q slate roof. Is It much more
expensive? Does this type Of -
roof look well with q stueco
exterior?
A-Slate in the standard grades
Is not expensive, particularly as
to final costs as there is no expense
for replacement If 1t is built well
Get comparative costs from roofers
in your locality. Slate looks YER,
well with . stucco exterior.
Q-Please give me inforna-
ton in regard to fencing my
property which faces west.
Which side do I fence? Does
my fence have to be Just on the
line or half on mine and half
on the neighbor's line?
A-Fence any amount you want,
but be sure you want it. The tend
ency is to eliminate fences, except
ing where 1t Is desired to cut off
unsatisfactory adjoining properties.
Fences along the front are rather
rare on small properties. The To-
cation of a fence centered on the
line would have to be in agreement
with your neighbor. Otherwise,
set it on your own property, but
be sure to have the outside plane
Of the fence on the line.
Q-F1oors vibrate to such an
extent that when one walks
across them dishes rattle. The
house Is two years old, joists
are 2xSs and span 13 feet Some
joists are cut off for stairway
and fireplace and are nailed to
short lengths of cross joists.
There are no double joists any
where though at one place a
partition runs above them. Is
this satisfactory framing? If
not, is it responsible for the vi
bration? How can we correct
it?
Att is not satisfactory framing
It is responsible for the vibration.
JoistS should not be less than 2x10s,
2x12s would be better. They should
be bridged at least once in the
span. The cut joists should be
framed into double headers ano
these in turn should frame into
double trimmers, well spiked to-
gether. Double joists should be
used under the partition. For cor
rection insert double members
where necessary. Nail 2x6s Alont.

Q-What is the least expen-
