PASTOR WOOD L ECTURES ON CAPITAL LABOR
Evangelist Connects Bible Prophecies with Pres
 ent Conditions

Capital and Labor was discuss ed by Evangelist H. L. Wood in his Bible Chautauqua lecture last nigh in the I. o. O. F building.
 The condition is getting worse with the passing of time and statesmen everywhere are watching it with alarm for the future, ac- cording to his interpretation of Bible quotations that were read.
 An explanation was given of the complicated situation that is exist ing in the business world as it is related to the labor question. It was stated that with the concen- tration of power the dangers are comparatively increased and now that a large amount of businesc is carried on in chain and con solidated fashion, putting into the hands of few men the control of most commodities, we are fac ing a condition that has not had parallel for 1,500 year, or since the breakdown of the Roman Elm pire.
 Many Prophecies Read
 A large number of prophecies from the Bible were read that were interpreted as describing presen. day conditions in a remarkably true manner. It could hardly ba overlooked, commented the Evan gelist, that in about all of those texts of a prophetic nature there was the statement, Tt shall come to pass in the last days" or simli lar expression which added con siderable to the weight of the descriptions. For instance, it was read that there would be a heaping together of wealth in the last days by rich men, and it appears, said Mir Wood, that it is referring to the present time for 99 per cent of the wealth of the United States is in the hands of one per cent of the people, and it is just about the same in other countries, de- clared the speaker
 One Cause of Unemployment
 The unemployment, to large degree, is caused by machinery which has increased production per man to such extensive proportians that there is an over production. An example was given to show that the differential system is not work ing, for the worker who, with the aid of machinery produces a pro- duct for 1 cent, must, whens he is in need of the very same producS.: pay 50 cents. The question was asked, Where does the profit go?"
 Pastor Wood did not leave the audience without some hope even though he did read from the Bible. that conditions would grow worse | and worse. He also read lite counsel from the same prophecy which advised people to be patient for the coming of the Lord was drawing near when selfish men would be compensated. others also

JUNEAU HIGH 10 STRUT ITS STUFF IN GRAND STYLE
Boy and Girl Basketballers Look Forward to
 Ides of March
ACROSS

Two basketball machines fabri- cated by coaches at the Juneau high school are making final ar arrangements for the official opening of the seasno, only two weeks away. Among supporters of the teams, expectation run high. For both boy and girl aggregations, prophecies are of the most opsi- mist" character
 Coach E. G. WentlSrd's Scarlet Wave has already this season rall- | cd over the Juneau Bremen. While the Smoke Eaters did not mar shal all their strength in this first contest of the season. nevertheless they presented a front that would have been strong enough to with stand the attcak of last years scholastic hoopsiers.
 Smart and Ambitious
 The coach not only has imparted the rudiments of the game to his charges, but also has inspired them with an ambition for victory They will be hard to stop. Tn the halls of learning on top of the hill. tears will be shed and hands will be wrung, if the young exemplars of the science of dribbnng, passing and shooting an inflated leather sphere fail to sweep aside all op- position cn Gastineau Channel and Lynn Canal, and carry to Ketchikan the battle for the cham pionship of Southeast Alaska. Coach Enid Burns is developing a fine lot of feminine material for basketball competition this sea- son. In training and practice work she has made notable changes in the positions of scns veteran players. Barbara Vim, flashy guard of last season, gives promise of sparkling forward.
 Rhoda Minzgo1lr, fast and de- pendable, who won her letter at forward last year, has developed into a fine center. Eva Rocovich who in every game last year was in class by herself as a guard, will discomfit foes and thrill spec tators by shooting baskets. this season.
 Miss Burns finds no dearth of new contenders for letter honors. Elizabeth Terhune is regarded as a regular Her consistent efforts for a center position have made a hit with the coach. Virginia Ui- rich has spangled at practice and anybody that crowds her from a berth on the squad will have to be superfine.
 Jane Elliott and Fern Gubser from the Frosh are treading fast on the heels of upper class candi- dates and will secure places for themselves if fortune gives them the slightest break.
 Juneau Highs preseason basket ball prospects never were better scarcely ever as good. If the Ides of March but fulfill the promise of the Nones of November, cham pionship ilonors canot be denied the young hopefuls of the local ed- ucational institution.

NO GREAT increase
IN LEVY TO Be MADE
BY co. COMMISSIONERS

No great increase in the tax
levy for maintenance of county
offices property and institutions
was indicated by the preliminary
budgets drafted at the last session
of the county commissioners. The
total of the suggested budgets was
S267, ,667.86 figure that exceeds
last years total by $40,O48.
The revenue to be raised by tax
alton was tentatively apportioned
as follows: $58,400 in the gem
eral fund, $4,000 in the road fund,
bridges, $25,500 poor, $685.
800 bond interest, and $40,150 bond
sinking fund. The required levies
were placed at s mills for the gen.
eral fund, 5 road fund, 2 bridge
fund, 31a poor fund, 91a bond in
terest, and 51a bond sinking fund.
Requisitions of county offices
and departments are slightly in
excess of the budget allowances of
1880. The county farm is asking
S639 more than last year and high
ays may be allotted $4,000, last
year S55311.99 having been used.
The bond sinking fund calls for
$62,500 and interest will be ac-
cordingly less, the figure for the
interest fund being $23,932, COM
pared to the S26,565 of last year.
County buildings will require more
than a thousand dollars than was
appropriated in 1856, and the fund
for the support Of outside poor
may be larger by about $2,7OO. The
expenditure for elections this year
will be considerably lower than in
1880.
These figures, subject to revis-
ion until the meeting of the com
mission August 5, will be finally
adjusted and adopted at that reg
alar meeting.

Latest information from the
Bureau off Public Roads reports
that the company of McNutt &

of Morrison and Knudsen, and
MacDonald-Kahn, will undertake
the work this summer on the pro-
jected Cooke City highway.
McNutt and Pyle, of Eugene,
Ore, after making a second survey
of the route two weeks ago, were
offered the contract for Unit B

has been accepted by that COM
pany, which is moving into the
territory now; equipment and ma
chinery will be in place at the

GRAFTON by August 5. INT B in
cludes that section of the route
between the Twin Lakes plateau
and the Nordquist ranch. From
the Nordquist ranch the road will
follow Soda Butte creek to Cooke

The Portland office of the Bur-
eau of Roads has filed a recon-
with the Secretary of
the Interior that contract for con-
struction of Unit A be awarded to
the two companies of Morrison and

Donald and Kahn, of San Francis
co, which companies placed joint

lowstone. Acceptance of the con-
tract by that company would mean
that their road building equipment
