VISIT THE FAIR.

The Eighth Annual Southeast Alaska Fair is now on and it is the business of the poople of Juneau to make it the success that it ought to be. About all that is left for them to do to bring about this result is to visit the Fair many times as pos sble during the four days that it will continue. The exhibits will be worth seeing and the carnival features promise entertainment to visitors.
 It is good to get out in crowd once in a while, and that will be accomplished by attending the sessions of the Fair Association with the crowd in carnival spirit and again counts for perpetual youth. It drives away dull It causes one to forget troubles if has them and creates interest in the pleasant things of life.
 There is yet another reason for patronizing the Fair by attending it: It is permanent institu- ton. It will be well for Juneau and Southeast Alaska to make it worthy and beneficial to the community. The way to make the next Fair worthy and beneficial is to patronize the present A successful Fair this year will make certain a cessfu next year
 So go to the Fair this evening. See the sights and have a good time. Give the exhibitors a run for their money. And, spend little money while there Help those who have charge of the Fair to make it a success.

TRAINING IN CRAFTSMANSHIP.

Now if these keen shooting rockies from Chicago we might understand it better We could explain that they had probably been trained by "Scarface" Al Capone Terrible Tommy O'Connor, Baby Face Wee Willie Doody, Little Caesar" and other experienced gunmen. But in New York it is dif- ferent. We must conclude that shooting ducks, tomcats, pipes etc, in Coney Island shooting gall leries is better training for marksmanship than shooting rabbits, hawks, squirrels cartridges quail etc, in the country.

TAKU DISTRICT IS IMP PRESSIVE,
 SAYS ENGINEER
Dr. Mandy, B. C. Depart ment of Mines Agent,
 Impressed with Region

The Taku River region is the most promising newly discovered mining area in the northwestern district of British Columbia, de- clared Dr. Joseph T. Mandy, En- gineer in charge, representing the Provincial Department of Mines, who has just finished his first survey there. He expressed him. self as being deeply impressed with it's possibilities.
 There are but two properties that as yet have commercial pos abilities, but there are several oth- CT surface prospects that would justify exploration and develop ment, said Dr. Mandy, and the field for prospecting has hardly been touched. The district is large and there are but few prospectors in it, he added.
 Dr. Mandy visited both the Tulsequah Chief, under develop ment by the United Eastern, and the Big Bull group being developed by the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company The development pro- gram on the former is much far ther advanced than on the latter as it was started last year while the Alaska Juneau got into the field about the middle of the present season. He complimented both companies highly on the prog ress made and on their enterprise in undertaking development in the district. Nowhere, in similar length of time and under compar- able conditions have such opera tions shown any more gratifying results, or indicated greater poten- tial commercial possibilities, he de- clared.
 He emphasized that, at this time, the district is in purely pros- pecting stage. Until exploratory programs have been farther ad- vanced, it is not possible to do more than guess as to it's potential ities. But on two properties the indications are very favorable for commercial mining on very sub- stantial scale.
 Regarding transportation, Dr. Mandy was not in position to make any definite statements relative to road construction. However, he said this was a matter for calcu- lation to determine When he reaches his office, he will analyze the assays and other figures he obtained on his visit to the re- zion. "If these confirm what I saw I think there is no question but that the Department of Pub lie Works will go ahead with road building to aid in the development of the district" he said
 Dr. Mandy and John Anderson, Engineer of the B. c. Department of Public Works, who is accom- panying him, will leave tonight on the steamer Alameda for Wrangell on an inspection of the Stikine River region.

His judgment concurred in by D. J. Williams his associate. After MT. Eaton and MT.

An impressive list of speakers has included such noables Andre Siegfried, author of the penetrat ing America Comes of Age" George Young, Labor member of the British Parliament and Governor Ritchie of Maryland. Both at Wiamstown and Charlottesville the meetings have become of such recognized interest and value that they reported extensively by the press associations.
