CONDITIONS ARE.
 N UGH IMPROVED. DECLARES MAYOR.
Seattle Wholesalers Claim
 Business Fifty Per Cent Better than Year Ago

wholesale merchants in Seattle claim that business has improved fifty per cent since a year ago this spring and that it is still on the upgrade" declared Mayor L Goldstein, who returned on the Victoria from a two weeks trip to the Puget Sound city.
 Everywhere, entirely regardless of politics, one hears President Roosevelt spoken of in the highest terms, as the one person with courage and sufficient vision to lift the nation back onto a normal plane. He has, without question, inspired everyone with confidence" the Mayor said.
 "Cannerymen and cold storage people are looking for a good year in the fishing industry, for fresh, frozen and canned fish, and expect a number of canneries to be oper- ated this year, that have been closed for several years past"
 While he was in Seattle, Mayor Goldstein received a letter from R. F. Lewis, owner of the Juneau Water Company, stating that he was not able to come north at that time, but would discuss the subject of greater water storage facilities with L. H. Metzgar, upon the latters arrival in San Fran CISCO.
 Mayor Goldstein was met in Se- attle by Mrs. Goldstein and their son Bobby, who have been visiting in San Francisco for the last few months, and returned to Juneau with him.
 While the steamer was in Ket- chikan northbound, Mayor Gold stein was one of the honor guests at the annual American Legion dinner at that place. Others who were honor guests were Judge George F. Alexander, United States Attorney William Holzheimer and Mayor P J. Gilmore of Ketchikan
 Mayor Goldstein made the trip south primarily for his health and a general check-up, and was grati- fled to learn that his condition had greatly improved since last year

Veteran Canneryman Back inGame-B Buys New Eng
 lands Yakutat Plant

Frank B. Wright, veteran Alaska canneryman who several years ago sold the floating cannery Retriever to the New England Fish Company, has repurchased that plant and all of the other holdings of the New England at Yakutat, and will oper- ate in that district during the coming salmon fishing season.

 MT. Wright is encouraged over the outlook for a successful year for the salmon packing industry. He thinks the carryover from last year will be entirely sold out before the new pack reaches the market, and that prices will be somewhat higher than last years quotations.
 After completing his inventory at Yakutat he will return to Seat tie. The Retriever is now in Se- attle. It will be sent north about April l, he said.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Carlos Mendieta, upon whom the United States State Department has pin ned its hopes for stability in Cuba, has been fighting his country's battles ever since he interrupted his studies to serve in the war for free Cuba"
 His selection as President is the continuation of nearly decades opposition to former President Ger ardo Machado, who, largely through the efforts of Mendieta and his rartisans, was thrown out of of flee and the country last summer.
 Dr. Mendieta fought Machado's dictatorship from Washington, New York and Miami before his plans finally carried.
 The new President is physi- ,ian, statesman and military strat- egist. He attained the rank of Colonel in the war for indepen- dence.
 Carlos Mendieta was born Mo- vember 4, 1873, at La Matilde, near San Antonio de las Vueltas in the province of Santa Clara. He began studying medicine at the Univer- sity of Havana when 20 years old, but in 1896 the struggle for free dom was renewed and young Car los left the university.
 Bravery Recognized
 He entered the rebel army as a private, but while fighting in and around the province of Pinar del Rio he soon won recognition for personal bravery and military abil- ity.
 Returning to the university, Men dieta was graduated in 1901 as doc tor of medicine. He was appointed inspector of health for the whole island during the American occu- patton of Cuba, immediately pre- ceding the organization of an in dependent government.
 He served in the first and second Cuban Congresses as representative from Santa Clara province. In 1908 he was reelected to Congress and served until 1916.
 Although he continued his medi- cal practice, he retained a strong political hold as leader of the Liberal Party. After the reelection of President Machado, Mendieta became an active opponent. He, with Dr. Mario Menocal. Grau San Martin, Carlos de La Torre and others, worked in this country to unseat Machado.
 After the successful revolution last August, Dr. Mendieta was urg- ed to accept the provisional Presi- dency when De Cespedes resigned. He was charged with refusing at that time because he did not want to eliminate himself as candidate for a regular term at the head Of the government
