 Tt sounded reasonable but dad didn't trust Lundy. The men mulled it over for a minute or so, then one of them shouted:
 Al right, Lundy. It's your funeral
 ""That suit yuh. Ten-to-One?' Lundy drawled.
 Dad wasn't sure whether it did or not. Still, a delay was some thing. Anything might happen be- tween now and dawn.
 "'Yes, I reckon so,' he answered, casually.
 "Holstering his gun, dad took out his keys. Two of them were alike. He slid one of those two under tFe mine door.

 ''The crowd began cursing and yelling to one another to do this and that, but they didn't move. At last the racket lessened and Lundy shouted
 Whats your proposition, Ten to-One?'
 This dad said bluntly, Jerry stays in the mine all night. Mean while, I'll look at the evidence with you. In the morning I'll talk it over with the boys

tinct. but dad was more or less familiar with all four of them. Burke and Webb were big, surly fellows, prospectors both of them, and jealous of dads success. Dillon was a tall, rangy fellow whom Lundy had recently taken on as a bartender. Dad wouldn't tell me anymore about him. Fitch was a gambler and a gunman. The crowd was satisfied.
 Burke, Fitch, Web b-yuh1l watch Peterson, Lundy command ed. Dillon, stays by the mine Sabe, all uh yuh?' They did and Lundy told the crowd to ramble on home. You know where thar's lots of good liquor, he said. But keep lober Big doin's tomorrow
 The men began to disperse. Pretty soon Fitch and Dillon, Webb and Burke, Lundy and Dad, were the only ones left.
 Any time yuh want to look at that evidencell suit me- Lundy snickered
 He went off towards the town, then, trailing that ghastly laugh of his out behind him. Dad looked around him. Dillon stood to the right, near the mine door. Burke and Webb and Fitch were in front of him, waiting to see what he was going to do. Tough bunch, he reflected.
 None of them spoke. Dad rolled q cigarette"

more sacred than his lie, dad said, and the mob had come to see that Uncle Jerry got what they believed was coming to him. A rotten mess, and dad couldn't see any way out of it.
 And then all at once an idea struck him. Lundy was notorious ly fond of money. Could he be bought off? Maybe. But if he could, would the miners, who were sticklers for the rough-and- ready frontier code, consider Lundy en- titled to take satisfaction in cash?
 "'See here dad began, the boys been led into this. I'll make the money good. Let him go.' The miners roared down his offer.
 "Lundy shrugged. It ain't no use, Ten-to-One,' he said. Hes had his trial fair and square. Min CTS law. We found him guilty Gold -thievin' is gold thievin' and the boy has got to swaller his medicine
 "You cal call 'em off if you want to- dad replied in almost a whisper I'll pay you $50,000 if he goes free

TRIANGLE BUILDING Submitted in Contest

One cannot pass through the business district of Juneau with out being attracted and impressed by the new Triangle Building, To- cated at Front and Franklin Streets, the most advantageous corner for building housing stores, offices and apartments.
 This beautiful, fireproof structure is modern in every respect, the outside being done in stucco, with copper-set windows and green trim. A small copper and wrought-iron marquee hangs over one door, and along the other side, is a wood marquee, artistically hung. The in- terior is finished with hardwood floors, the walls are plastered and painted in modern color schemes and the lighting fixtures are chos- en for beauty and effectiveness The building is heated with steam The five apartments on the third floor are equipped with electric ranges and refrigerators, with a laundry for general use. The twelve office rooms on the second floor meet all requirements of the mod ern office. Four store spaces oc- cupy the ground floor, one already being occupied by Halvorsen's, h. corporated.
 The construction of the build ing was very capably handled by the J. B. Warrack Company, of Seattle, which company has re- gently constructed buildings in Sitka, Seward and Ketchikan.
 Juneau's pride lies, not only in he architectural beauty of this building, but also, in the fact that Juneau capital has promoted it. It is a mute proclamation that men, who have made Juneau their home, have enough faith in Ju- neau's possibilities now, and in the future, as commercial center. to invest their money here, and their Judgment of conditions cannot but be right and prove their invest ment a good one.

TRIANGLE BUILDING Submitted in Contest

Juneau's newest and most mod ern building has been finished re- gently by the Warrack Construction Company of Seattle, at an approxi- mate cost of sixty thousand dollars.
 The construction of this building marks the advancement of Jun eaus civic and commercial devel- opment, as it now occupies the site of an old shack which was a fire menace to the city.
 The new building is situated in the very heart of the business sec- tion of this city at the intersection of Franklin and Front Streets.
 The Triangle Building is of re- inforced concrete, fireproof con- struction, triangular in shape, three stories high, and has footage of l31 feet on Franklin and 88 feet on Front Street It is steam heat ed throughout by an automatic oil burner
 On the lower floor three large rooms are provided for merchants. The second floor consists of twelve office rooms and on the third floor six modern apartments are situ- ated.
 The two upper stories command an excellent view of Gastineau Channel and the city.
 The fine location of the build ing is a great asset to the mer- chants established here because of the fine advertising opportunities afforded. This is also aided by large plate glass display windows and the convenience to customers.
 The simplicity of it's design lends beauty to the structure and is so constructed that every square foot of room is conveniently utilized.
 Newcomers can no longer say that Juneau is city of old build ings, as more buildings will begin to feplace the old ones in the near future, for through this structure l the civic pride of Juneau's citizens 1 will be aroused and will result in extensive development of the busi- ness district.

HALvORSEN'S IS
 MODERN STORE
Women's s Speciality Shop in Triangle Building Is
 Most Attractive

Halvorsen's "Juneau's Own Store" is located in the Triangle Building. Its store-room is 27 by 80 feet and has full glass front, and is lighted with a profusion of frosted drop lights.
 Upon entering the shop, one is at once impressed with its quiet dignity. Ones feet sink into a soft carpet of rose and taupe tones blended together. making the at mosphere both honey and charm ing.
 To the left the visitors eyes are attracted by the built-in cabinets for the ready-to-wear merchandise. The paneling is of futuristic de- sign with drift wood finish, set off by walnut trim. The mirrors are grouped in threes to allow mil lady thoroughly to appreciate the graceful lines of her new coat or dress.
 At the end of the cabinets are two spacious fitting rooms, well lighted and equipped with large mirrors. To the right of the shop one finds shelving the full length of the room with display cases in front of them, tastefully trimmed with silk lingerie and accessories.
 Three colorful stand lamps also add charm to the floor plan, as do two large, growing ferns on attractive pedestals. Without a doubt it justly lays claim to being one of the most attractive special ty shops in the entire Territory.

Those who overlook such ten tencies of human nature are at a disadvantage in the general bid for business This accounts for how so many of the younger generation, endued with the spirit of the times, step into field, whether of a profession or of merchandising, and capture the prize from the veteran. They surround themselves and their patrons with that aroma of opu- lence, luxury and refinement which quietly attract all intelligent beings even as does altar the bee, and which by the very contrast make the old fashioned establishments repellent.
 Entirely apart from the inevitable growth of the city, there is a na- tural demand in Juneau for better and more beautiful stores, offices and apartments. It is in that faith the Triangle Building has been erected.

 In the Spring of 1928, MT Nelson returned to Juneau. He purchased the Pond property on the south side of Front Street and the Tri- angle Corner, both then occupied by frame buildings. He rebuilt on the former property at once, and opened Nelson's Mems Furnish ings Store. This was sold in a short time to Sabin & Scott. MT. Nelson became associated with MT.

The Triangle Building is a distinct asset to this city. It's structure, conveniences for stores, offices and apart ments makes it a building to be pointed to with pride by all citizens.
