"Pickwick Papers" at $2S,OO0.
(New York World.)


 The lively competition which has developed in recent years for first editions and manu- scripts has been responsible for some astonish- ing prices Last season people exclaimed over the sale of the Hatton Collection copy of Pick wick Papers" for $16,3O0; of Kiplngs "The Smith Administration for $14,0O0, and of Blake's Europe: Prophecy for s11,300. Yet new records are steadily being set. "Pickwick" has just touched $2S000 at the Jerome Kern sale. The manuscript of Alice in Wonderland, bought in England for SIT 000, has been priced in America at far more. A first edition of Alice has just sold at $10,000.
 The bull market in literary treasures has been created by a number of factors One, much emphasized by Dr. Rosenbach, is the fact that the available number of certain rarites due to museum acquisitions is steadily decreasing while the number of bidders is increasing Dr. Rosen- bach bought the Hardness copy of the Guten- berg Bible. presented to the Yale Library, for s106 900; he estimates that this Bible will some day be worth 5 .0OO,G0O Another factor is the intensive advertising given to book collecting. pr. A. Edward Newton has beat the big drum for it a sport for rich and poor The activi- ties of Morgan, Huntington Wells, Rosenbach and others have been followed with keen iosity. And a third factor is the simple lure of speculation.
 As the record price for 'Pickwick reminds us, the popular fame of certain books contributes definitely to their market. Many great rarties are unknown to the general public. But nearly everybody knows that some first editions of Shake speare are worth fortune--$25O,O00 or more. Every Knows that the Gutenberg Bible, 'Pickwick Papers," the Kilmarnock Burns, Poes "Tamerlane' and Eliot's Indian Bible are enor- mously valuable. They make an impression wherever shown, and the who would own pays accordingly.

HAWKS AND OWLS ACQUITTED.


 Neither hawks owls black they sometimes painted About year ago. the Game Commission of Yakima County, Wash, es- tablished bounty various creatures supposed to be destructive to useful birds, especially up land game birds Arrangements were made for the preservation of the stomachs of hawks and owls killed and presented for bounty. Of these, 121, including kinds of hawks and kinds of owls were forwarded to the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture for study. Here some of the findings: "Of 45 stomachs of Swainson hawks. 40 containing food held about 90 per cent. ground squirrels, the re- mainder consisting of snakes and grasshoppers and other insects. Of 31 stomachs from redtaed hawks, 27 held food, of which S3 per cent was ground squirrels, per cent. rabbits per cent. meadow mice and the remainder snakes" So the account goes all the way through. These hawks and owls, with bounty their heads, had all been preying chiefly upon ground squirrels, rabbits, mice and other species destructive in the Western States that the Federal Government and the States concerned have been cooperating for years in campaigns to control them. No game birds whatever had been eaten by any of the 121 hawks and owls killed, and only 3 birds of any kind As a result of the findings of the Biological Survey, bountes hawks and owls no longer paid in Yakima County.

MAKE IT EvERYMAN's CHAMBER.

Today the Chamber of Commerce launched it's annual drive for memberships and funds to carry on it's work for the current year. In the past several years it has experienced little difficulty in obtaining the money necessary and each sue ceeding year in the past decade it's roll Of mem bers has grown. The generosity of support given 1t by the community is in very large measure, a reflex of the capable and efficient manner in which it has represented the town in all matters and on every occasion it has been called on for action.
 The feature of it's work last year was the Capital to Capital Yacht Race, staged between Olympia, Washington and this city. Through it., Juneau received the very finest sort of publicity on the pages of hundreds of newspapers, includ- ing the largest of metropolitan journals, through out the country. Moving pictures of the big event, which is destined to become the yachting classic of the Pacific Coast at least, have been exhibited before yachtsmen from the Atlantic to the Pacific and now, more than six months after the race, are still in big demand.
 The Chamber as usual, carried out the an- nual Fourth of July program in a very satis- factory manner. In addition, it represented the community many questions arising in Con gress, and now, through it's affiliatipn with the United States Chamber of Commerce,Ai is in better position to do this kind of work evhn more eff fectivey than in the past It has circulated thousands of pamphlets of descriptive literature about the community and district adjacent to it.
 All of this work will be repeated again this year. To do it in a manner worthwhile in a way that will bring tangible results, it needs not only funds to defray expenses but it requires the active support, acquired only through mem bership, of every citizen of the town. For this reason, the members who charged with the responsibility of conducting the drive should, and undoubtedly will, meet with warm and liberal response from everyone whom they approach. The Chamber of Commerce could and should be in actuaiity "Everyman's Chamber" with every citi- whether taxpayer not holding active membership card.

 In addition, the Coast Guard is now required to prevent liquor smuggling if and when it can Only few of the thousands of Coast Guards men succumb to temptations of graft and alcohol Unfortunately, just criticism against the small minority reflects upon the great majority; but whatever else may be said of them it cannot be truthfully charged that the Coast Guardsmen ever failed in their traditional duty of aiding maritime operations and saving lives and property even at risk of their own safety

The Daily News is being deluged with com plaints in regard to radio reception in the city We have been urged to write editorials attacking various parties who are supposed to be responsible for the condition. This we cannot do without very clear evidence that they are the ones to blame There is no doubt that many local radio fans are becoming desperate and extremely bitter and something will have to be done to clear up the condition. For several days it has been impossible to receive at all in the downtown sections of the city Local interference is so great that it has drowned out everything even though the reception was otherwise very good On one thing we must insist, however in this connection, and that is that when any particular person or company is mentioned in letters of criticism, the letters must be signed bv inc writer, or they cannot be published
