the last three years told in a simple
and moving way of the condition in
the South, conditions that induce her
boy, and the other youths later fran
ed OF a rape charge in Scottsboro

white workers.

ment, and of his work in helping to
organize the Southern Unemployed

faue Of this terror: His story Of his
complete faith in the organized work

FOUR BOYS SAIL TO JUNEAU ON
 55FT.SCHO0NER
of Washington Lads Bring Valkyrie Into
 Port After Long Trip

With fun, photography and fish ing the reasons, if any are needed, for making their trip, four young University of Washington boys ar rived in Juneau aboard the Val kyrie, auxiliary schooner, Sunday, tIlirty-n mine days out of Seattle. David Dale is skipper aboard the Valkyrie, and his shipmates are Bill Blackford, Dyer Dale and Don Dederick. David is the only one of the crew who has had any prev ious sailing experience.
 The Valkyrie left Seattle July 25, voyaged north inside of the regular steamer passage, sailed much of the way, and explored inlcts and bays enroute.
 Because Bill Blackford is the son of Dr. J. M. Blackford and the Dale boys sons of Dr. David Dale, both Seattle physicians, the crew of the Valkyrie have called upon Dr. w. w. Council and Dr. II. c. DeVighne in Juneau.
 The adventuresome youths and their ship vii remain here until Thursday. They expect to be in Seattle by October l, when Bill Blackford and Dwyer Dale will re- turn to the University of Wash ingtcn and David Dale and Ded- erlck will continue on their sailing expedition aboard the Valkyrie to Honolulu.
 The Valkyrie is a sturdy ship, originally built as a rum-runner. It is 55 feet long, draws eight feet Of water, and it's sails were used most of the way until the head winds recently encountered have required the use of the auxiliary motor.

HUNTERS FIND
 WILD FOWL TO
 BE PLENTIFUL
Geese Unusually Numerous This Year-Deer Are
 Said to Be Scarce

Hunters over the Labor Day holi- day reported better than average success and wild fowl apparently more abundant than for several years for the same time of the year. There is an evident shortage of deer in this district extending across Admiralty Island and the eastern sections of both Chichagof and Baranof Islands.
 Reports to this office indicate good supply of local ducks and geese, a normal stock of deer on the west coast of Baranof and Chichagof islands, and less deer on the east coasts and on Ad- miralty Island than had been ex- pected,' said E. M. Goddard, As sistant Executive Secretary of the Alaska Road Commission.
 The wild fowl season opened Saturday morning. Local hunters who celebrated it at Mendenhall said there were plenty of ducks and an unusually large number of geese. Several hunters bagged geese the first morning and others were killed over Sunday and Monday. Those who spent the holiday in ether areas also found similar con- 'ditions to prevail.
 The weekly close season on ducks and geese started this morning and will last until Saturday morning. Hunting is permitted Saturday Sunday and Monday of each week until November 5.
 At Mendcnhall some youthful hunters took the field armed with .22 caliber rifles and whistling bull lets are said to have menaced several people ''The use of rifles on the bar is dangerous and may result in someone being seriously wounded if not killed" declared Mr. Goddard. This practice ought to be discouraged. We cannot pre- vent their use, in fact do not want to, but we urge every one to be very careful"

TRAFFIC COUNT SHOWS BUSIEST
 JUNEAU CORNER
Front and Seward Street First in Cars-Front and
 Franklin Most Pedestrians

Gerald c. Field, Seattle archi- tect who has been in Juneau for some time Investigating the prac- ticability of constructing a new business building here, released some interesting figures this morn ing in the way of traffic counts made two days last week.
 On Tuesday and Thursday, pe- destrians and automobiles were counted between o'clock and 3 o'clock in the afternoon at five street intersections.
 The result shows the corner of Seward and Front Streets to be the busiest section of Juneau from the standpoint of automobile traf- fic at least, with 240 pedestrians passing on the North Side of Front Street and 258 on the South side on Tuesday, 222 on the North side and 204 on the South side on Thursday and 126 automobiles pass ing on the first day and 120 on the second.
 Taking the average for both sides of the street for the two days the total number of pedes- trians passing the corner of Front and Seward on an average day would be 462 persons, and the au- tomobile traffic would be 123, dur ing that hour in the afternoon.
 Averages for the other counted corners are 592 pedestrians and 86 automobiles at the corner of Front and Franklin streets, counted on Front Street; 99 pedestrians and 60 automobiles at the corner of Sec ond and Franklin streets, counted on Franklin street; 279 pedestrians and 5l automobiles at the corner of Second and Seward streets counted on Seward street; and 273 pedestrians and SO automobiles at the corner of Third and Seward streets, counted on Seward street. The practice of making traffic counts to determine the best busi- ness locations is used quite gener- ally by business firms nowadays, the theory being that where the most people pass, the most business is likely to be done.
 The ranking of the corner oi Seward and Front street as being the busiest is based principally on the number of automobiles passing there being 37 more cars passing during the hour than at the corner of Front and Franklin, the nearest competitor, although the latter cor ner had l30 more pedestrians pass ing.
