STOCKS CONTINUE
DOWNWARD TREND
Moderate Losses, Scattered
Over List, Reflect eau.
tious Policy.
BY JOHN L. COOLEY,
Associated Press Financial Writer,


NEW YORK, February 24.-Stocks
today held to the reactionary trend
that had ruled Fridays market. On
the whole losses were moderate, but
their rather liberal distribution. eSpe-
cially over the rail and industrial
groups, reflected the current leaning
of speculative quarters toward the
side Of caution.
Those who sold stock, either for
long or short account, presumably
took note of scattered labor difficult
ties which seemed to be centerlng in
the automotive accessory industry.
With regulatory legislation, whether
in its present form or modified, still
a vivid prospect and some of the trade
news tempered by interruptions for
which recent weather has been partly
responsible, Wall Street looked a bit
more suboued.
Aviation shares kept aloft, though
their gains were reduced, in some
cases substantially. American Tele-
phone and a few other favorites man
aged to move against the market, but
the general closing was heavy. Stocks
got little or no help from commodities
and secondary bonds Sagged.
Douglas and United Aircraft sal
vaged small fractions of extreme gains
of around a point Aviation Corpora
ton was strong at the finish. For
United States Steel, American Can,
Du Pont, Allied Chemical, General
Motors, Chrysler, Sears Roebuck,
Montgomery Ward, New York Central
and Santa Fe net losses approximated
a point. Pennsylvania yielded nearly
2. Electric Auto-Lite, Spicer Manu-
featuring and j. I. Case, companies
affected by strikes, sagged but kept
their losses moderate. Transactions
totaled l,223,l30 shares.
The flurries of cold weather which
much of the country is experiencing
boost shipments of coal, and this ac-
celeration accounted in large measure
for last weeks Jump in car loadingS.
Looking ahead, financial quarters
hoped that labor troubles could soon
be amicably settled without serious
interruption to the industrial recov-
cry movement. Automobile produc-
ton has recently improved and is
currently at the best levels for this
time of year since 1890. Steel mill
activity continues to rise, notwith-
standing the absence of much sup
port from consumers other than the
motor car makers, and the upward
movement promises to enlarge as

are, in fact, almost indescribable. Underground passages connecting the great rooms cover some 38 miles.
 It is a. fine thing to have a vacation, especially when one can see Babe Ruth pitch and win a ball game, take in the World Ser ies and go to a Worlds Fair. but the finest thing about it is when one gets back home and his friends grasp his hand with Hello Bill I'm glad to see you home,' and know they mean it. That's what w. B. Kirk thinks about it any, way, he told the Chamber today
 With Mrs Kirk he left Juneau last September, went to New York, Washington, Chicago and spent some time at his old home in Ohio, spent the winter in Seattle, and returned here some ten days ago.
 Other Chamber guests included Floyd Volk, Seattle, officer of the Columbia Lumber Company, visit ing the local branch for a few days; and Grenold Collins formerly deputy Alaska Game Warden.

WILLIE HANSON GETS
 } MONTHS' SENTENCE

Willie Hanson, said to be a brother of Billie Hanson, local h. dian who Tuesday was sentenced to 12 months by Judge J. F. Mullen for destruction of property, yester- day faced the same official on a similar charge. He admitted his guilt and was handed a jail sen- tence of three months.
 Unlike Billie, whose sentence was suspended conditioned upon his leaving town for a year, Willie's became immediately effective.
 The latter is said to have kicked in a plate glass door in a beer parlor on lower Front Street. He elected to resist Night Patrolman Hoffman when that officer arrived on the scene, and came off second best in the encounter.

BUSINESS HAS IMPROVED SAYS
 J. J. MEHERIN
Juneau Men Complete Longest Commercial Air
 Trip Made in Alaska

Business conditions through out the Interior and Westward districts are very favorable due to good prices of furs and increased mining activities" declared J J.. Meherin, wholesale representative, who with Charles Goldstein and Lyle Hebert, just completed the longest commercial trip evtr made by airplane in Alaska, in con- tinuous flight.
 During the trip, on which they left Juneau February 20, over SIX thousand miles were covered and in addition to the larger towns, every post on the Kuskokwim h. noko, upper and lower Yukon rivers and Kotzebue Sound was made. The flight was made in a Pacific Airways plane with pilot Harry Blunt and Bob Carlson, mechanic. Made in the ordinary means of travel, this trip would have required year and a half continuous travel, Mir Meherin declared.
 While in Nome, the Juneau men met the Russian rescue party which is based there while trying to save the party of Russians marooned on an ice foe off the coast. When they were in Kotze- but, pilot Blunt estimated that the ice floe on which the Russians are marooned, was not more than 75 miles away, MT. Meherin said.
 Increased Mining Activities
 Regarding the increased mining activities, MT. Meherin said that innumerable small properties that have not been operated for the last Is years are being started up this season, and mining men throughout the country are most enthusiastic.
 That improved conditions, es- pecially in mining, will take care of all unemployment in the coun- try and it will not be necessary to depend on public aid, is the concensus of opinion throughout the country" he declared
 Democratic Victory Expected
 Great interest is being shown all over Alaska in politics and from every indication it looks like a Democratic victory in September People in all parts of the Terri tory are greatly interested in the liquor question, and seemed pleas ed with what they had heard re- garding the opinions of the liquor control board" MT Meherin said
 MT. Meherin, MT Goldstein and Mir Hebert all expressed satisfac- tion with the success of the trip and are enthusiastically in favor of the air as means of cover ing the great distances of Alaska.

chance of passing at the current session of Congress, and probably never would become law.
 Army Plans Indefinite
 While plans for a reported visit to Alaska of a squadron of Navy planes this summer are not yet definite, it is indicated that such a visitation is in the making. A letter to the Chamber from the Commanding Officer of the Air craft Base at San Diego, Calf, said no definite plans had yet been announced. However, he ad- ded, he would keep the Chamber advised and as soon as possible he would communicate the date of arrival in Juneau He expressed appreciation for the invitation sent by the Chamber for the squadron to visit here and make it's base here while in this vicinity.
 Revival of the Capitol to Capi- tol Yacht Race is proposed by the Chamber in a letter sent to the Olympia, Wash, Chamber of Com merce. This was the yachting feature Of the Pacific Coast for several years. It was allowed to lapse about five years ago, due to the depression. It is hoped that it can be resumed again this year.
 Parks Is Greeted
 Former Gov. George A. Parks was greeted by the Chamber to- day. Expressing his pleasure at being back home, he said T went outside 10 months ago to have a good time and that is what I have been doing ever since left" He was somewhat disap- pointed in lowstone Park where he spent two months. Ex- cept for it's geysers, it hasn't any thing that Alaska hasn't got to offer, and the Katmai National Monument has natural wonders that surpass the geysers, he said He was greatly impressed with the great caverns at Carlsbad New Mexico, where he spent some time. They far surpass the famous Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, and

JUNEAU WATER NOT POLLUTED,
 COUNCIL SAYS
No Danger in Gold Creek Basin and Water Free
 from Organic Impurity

There is no pollution of the city water supply in .the Gold Creek Basin, or elsewhere, the Chamber or Commerce was informed today in report from pr. w. w. Coun- cil Territorial Health Commits sioner, who inspected the water shed and made an analysis of the water used in the community. This matter was taken up by him at the Chambers request.
 Particular mention was made at that time of the danger of pollu- tion from the Alaska Juneau board ing house. Dr. Council says this is nonexistent and that the com pany is using proper precautions against it.
 Is We'll Handled
 Dr. Council, in his formal report to the Chamber today, said:
 Pursuant to your request of recent date, have made a thor ough investigation of the conditions existing on the watershed from which Juneau's water supply is ob- tained. Especially those existing at what is known as the Alaska Ju- neau boarding house.
 Theoretically, of course, there should be no habitation on watershed, but as that would be impossible here, the situation is well handled.
 "The toilet and refuse or garbage dumps are covered sumps in sand and gravel. Situated probably a quarter of mile from Gold Creek, and approximately one half mile from the intake of the Juneau Water Company's pipes.
 "The sand and gravel of the basin forms a natural filter, which removes practically all organic i'm purities from the water.
 Previous to your request I had analysis made of both the Juneau Water Company and Nelson Water Company and there were practical ly no organic impurities in either"
