SPRING BRINGS GARDENING INTO
 MINDS OF ALL
Practical Suggestions for Annuals and Perennials
 in Juneau Climate

With Cleanup, Paint-up Week nearing its close and yards raked free Of the debris left by winter snows, Juneau householders are al- ready planting and planning their gardens for this year. There are plants and shrubs available for every type of garden, but as some thrive best in borders while others are mere suitable for window boxes, decorative beds or rock gardens, an Empire reporter interviewed J. P. Anderson, of the Juneau Florist Shop to assist prospective garden CTS to obtain the lest results.
 Due to the late spring, next week will be plenty of time to plant annuals, as they are sturdier and more healthful if planted in warm ground and grow quickly MT. Anderson said. Perennials may, however, be planted right away from roots or small plants, he said. Seeds for annuals, if planted too soon, may bloom but are apt to be weak and subject to plant diseases.
 Annuals, from Seed and Plant
 Among the annual flowers which may be planted from seed during the next ten days or so, and which do well here are California poppies, Shirley poppies, American Legion peoples, batchelor buttons, sweet peas, nasturtiums and candytuft. Annuals for which small plants are available include Scotch mari gclds, pansies, snapdragons, sum- mer chrysanthemums, asters, swan river daisy, stocks, African and French marigolds, allyssum, annual phlox and nasturtium.
 Reck Garden Plants
 With rock garoens becoming more and more popular there is a con- stant effort on the part of en- thusiasts for this picturesque type of garden to find a variety of plants to grow in niches alongside native, transplanted ferns and flow CTS. A number of small plants which are especially recommended for rockeries and are obtainable in Juneau are arabis, violas, snow-in- summer, rock garden pink, native bluebells, sedums, saxafrage, edel- weiss, and creeping gypsophilia. Of these, arabis violas, rock garden pink and saxafrage are also recom- mended fer borders These are all perennials and will grow year after year.
 Be; der Suggestions
 In addition to those named, per ennials which should be planted from root or small plants that do well and make attractive borders are English daisy, polyanthus prim- rose, Scotch pink, lurfre and painted daisy.
 Window Boxes, Cut Flowers
 While many people are accustom- cd to planting their window boxes each year with various annually blooming flowers, some perennials are a help and among those which are suggested as practical for this are English daisy, violas, snow-in-

summer, rock garden pink and Scotch pink.
 In addition to the many color full annuals which make attractive bouquets there are number of perennials which are good for cut flowers such as globe flower, doro- nicum, painted daisy, shasta daisy and erigeron.
 Easy Growing Perennials
 Among the more attractive per- ennials which grow well and have proved satisfactory are cashmer- jana primrose, forget-me-not, col umbine, lily-of valley, bleeding heart, centaurea hardy cornflow- CT, saxifraga cordifolia, St. Bern ars lily, many types of veronica, day lily, aconite, hardy marguerite, peach bellflowers, lychnis jerusa- lem cross, phlox, oriental poppy, gerenium ibericum. Short lived per- ennials which are grown satisfact- orily are fozglove and sweet will liam, which seed themselves and sweet rocket.
 Ground Cover, Specials
 Perennials that are recommended as ground cover are English daisies, gold moss sedum acre and aJuga bugle weed. The last is especially good for neglected places such as under trees, where scarcely any thing else will grow. Siberian iris is fine for moist ground. For mass planting Iceland poppy is particu- larly effective and as back ground, delphenium is particularly suggested.
 Shrubs and Bushes
 Azalea is an attractive shrub that requires acid soil, as does rhodendron, and both are hardy, MT. Anderson said. Rose bushes, in many varieties, are obtainable and do quite well, while spirea both the ligh rose pink and dark rose pink are very productive. Lilacs, while a pretty Towering shrub, are not dependable here, according to MT Anderson.
 Two native plants from the Westward that are pleasing are galium northern bedstraw and mer- tensia. The later is a bluebell.
 If used at all. the peony is best transplanted in the fall, but it has net proved particularly good in Ju- neau. On the other hand, honey suckle, of which the tartarian is the best type, is dependable and an excellent climber. Canterbury bells, a biennial, has also been satisfactory in beds or borders.
 Grass and Lawns
 Lawns, also are coming in for attention, but as each lawn has it's needs, general advice on this subject is apt to be mislead- ing. However, one can be safe in sprinkling lawn fertilizer on the lawns which have been previously cultivated and for raw soil a l sprinkling of lime is suggested be- fore grass seed is planted
 Vegetable
 Vegetables that are successfully grown in Juneau and the immed- iate vicinity include cabbage, cauli- flower, celery, spearmint, parsley, | lettuce and chives. Spearmint and chives are best planted by root.

than three years ago, it's capacity was double the requirements. Now the demand has reached capacity and the plant could not give service during the cannery season. New in dustries and new users, additional home and business equipment throughout Wrangell, reflect in the light plant records, the steady growth of the town.
 Wrangell, facing a crisis in the problem of securing additional cleo tric production in it's city owned light plant, is fortunate that it's needs have been met so advantage ously and pride may be taken in the fact that company of high integ- rity has placed it's stamp of appro- val on the municipality and given concrete expression of confidence in it's future growth and prosperity.

WHAT WILL IT COST?

Wherever a group of public spirited men are gathered, it is in eYitable that sooner or later the condition of Front street becomes matter for discussion.
 They differ in what should be done about the street but are in complete agreement that 1t is an eyesore, a disgrace to the commun- ity, it's rotting condition a menace to life and property and that some thing must be done at once before the street falls in.
 Front street, built entirely over tide land, was planked about 25 to 27 years ago, and was in good condition for about fifteen years. when a few repairs were needed Since that time the repair bill has mounted steadily each year. The underpinning is so rotten that it will not hold the nails in new re pair blanks.
 Various plans advanced to renew Front street include replanking the ChIllC SliVSlB iuoL dS Nd0 uOu6 De- fore, filling in with dredged ma terial from the harbor floor when the harbor dredging appropriation is finally settled by congress. fill ing in with crushed rock obtained from the Mt. Dewey lodges, and re- planking but this time having the underpinning treated with creosote
 The matter of renewing Front street is an urgent one and should have immediate attention, but no matter what plan is advanced it cannot have intelligent considera- tion until the cost is known.
 It would seem, therefore, import ant that either the town council or the chamber of commerce begin at once assembling cost estimates from competent sources.

n1cTRESS CALL IN SNOW
 BRINGS HELP TO PLANE

 The plane, missing since ten days ago when it hopped off from Me Grath for Anchorage, was piloted by Donald Goodman and carried Paul Heating and Bob Laurie as passengers. All the men are safe, although Goodman and Heating re- ceived scratches and bruises about their faces.
 The overdue plane encountered a down draft in starting up gulch to head for Rainy Pass in thick weather The plane was damaged, but the pilot will be able to fly it out after some repairs are made.
 After making the forced landing the party found a deserted cabin a short distance down the river. There was plenty of game in the vicinity so they suffered no hard ships.

SAD MESSAGE AWAITS COOPER AFTER FOUR MONTHS ABSENCE

The homecoming of F. A Cooper Wednesday after four months of trapping, away from all communi- cation, was saddened by the news awaiting that his youngest daugh- ter, Mrs. Grover c. Huffnagle, of Ridgway, Colorado, h a d passed away at an Ouray, Colorado, hospi- tai on January II.
 Mrs. Huffnagle and her husband spent several weeks in Wrangell while on their honeymoon six years ago. She made many friends while here who will learn with regret of her passing. The Ouray Herald in it's obituary of the young wife and mother said in part:
 Survivors of Mary Genevieve Huffnagle include her husband and two small sons, her father, Fred A. Cooper, of Wrangell, Alaska, five brothers, James H. Cooper, Rodney Cooper of Ridgway, Glen Cooper of Carson, Iowa, Fred Cooper, Gar dinea, Calf, Clyde B. Cooper of Los Angeles, and a sister, Margaret Erxleben of Englaside, Texas, who was here to attend the funeral

times a day except on Sunday when there are only two meals
 "The Waitresses serving the men at mealtimes are like the nurses They put themselves out to be kind to the old men. Altogether, I can not speak too highly of the home.
 "This interview should not be printed without relating one anus ing incident that has a particular meaning. During the construction of the new home many of us were located at Goddard hot springs and among us was one man who con- sidered himself a most important individual. He had, I believe, a considera ble sum of money when he entered the home just a short time before We moved into the new building.
 "One day His Royal Highnese got on the mail boat going back to Sitka to picl. out his room ip the new building. He returned to the springs shortly, a very indig- nant and crestfallen man. He had learned that in this particular in stitution no favoritism is shown.
 "It might be mentioned too that it is no unusual thing to see Gov ernor John W. Troy or another of the trustees of the home calling on inspection tours Another point lt is not true that an applicant on his arrival must turn in his money, if he has any There are no banks in Sitka, however, and I advise any one who goes there with any con siderable money to give it to Mr Hansen for keeping. He will give a receipt for it and will cheerfully return it on demand"

FAITH IN WRANGELL

"The best stroke of business that the Town of Wrangell ever put through" should be the general comment of Wrangell citizens re- garding the recent arrangement made by the town council with the Fairbanks, Morse & company where by that company finances a new generating unit of $50 h.p. and considerable number of needed ac- cessories which will more than double the present production capa- city of the city light plant, and also finances a modern reinforced con crete building to house the plant. All this will be done without one cent of initial payment on the part of the town and will be paid for entirely from the revenues of the plant in 69 monthly payments,
 Beginning the fifteenth of next April, twelve payments of $500 will be made, followed by twelve $550 payments, twelve of $500, twelve S65O, twenty $700 and on Decem- Der 15, 194O, a payment of $500 will finish the transaction. Interest at six percent on deferred payments is to be made semi-annually.
 A very important feature to the municipality is that with the com pletion of the new building and in- stallation of the additional unit all temporary expedients will have been eliminated and the light plant will be on a permanent basis.
 The faith that a company of such standing and reputation as that ot Fairbanks, Morse & Company has shown in Wrangell is a matter of much qualification and h I strengthen the faith of every resi- dent in the stability and future prospects of his home town. That company is not so eager to sell it's products that it will advance money to a town and finance a SAP. .000 proposition unless the town io found to be a good risk.
 After his arrival here the town council was not approached by W J. Mcintosh, the company's muniei pal division manager in the Pacific Northwest, until he had made 9 thorough survey of not only light plant records, but the financial sta tus of the municipality, it's reve- nues, its obligations, the general conditions and trend of business here, and a wide inclusion of facts which had first to be assembled be- fore he knew whether or not it was a sound proposition for his company to become interested in Wrangell
 The record of the light plant shows discouraging results for al- most two years after the city took over it's operation, then under the efficient management of H. Well Ions and the installation of a new generating unit, the plant, bought entirely on time payments, paid for itself, as we'll as all operating ex- penses.
 It should not be forgotten, how ever, that back of the plant and its manager, stood councilmen who served unselfishly, giving far more effort and time to making this pub lie utility a success and an inte- gral part of the town, than the majority of citizens may have real ized or appreciated. To these men, the community should extend grateful thanks. They are responsi- ble for laying the foundation of an institution which will be a valu- able part of the municipality for many years to come.

KETCHIKAN MAN PRAISES
 PIONEERS HOME AT sITKA

The constant question of friends and acquaintances of E. A. Teeter, asking him of conditions at the Pioneers home in Sitka, have prompted him to tell of the insti- tuition, reports the K e h k n Chronicle. He recently returned from a stay at the home and at Goddard hot springs and is living again at his home in this city. A rheumatic ailment that troubled him and was largely responsible for his visit to the home was alleviated by his stay at the hot springs, he explains.
 'TI gladly tell about things in general at the home," the local pioneer stated in opening his mar ratiye. When an applicant arrives at Sitka he is met at the landing by Eiler Hansen, superintendent. who looks him over to note his condi- tion. If the applicant appears to be insufficiently clad he is told to look up the superintendent during the day and receive sufficient clothing.
 The applicant is then taken to the home and given a room accord ing to his needs. There are many cripples there. These are placed in rooms on the first floor. In cases where it is necessary, Applicants are given wheel ehairs-ball-bear ing equipped, and two canes.
 Thus outfitted he can rapidly propel himself through the halls to the dining room, bathroom and card room. In many cases the ap- plicant is taken directly to the hospital on the third floor of the building when he arrives. He is placed under the care of a compe- tent physician and surgeon, Dr. Hugh Nicholson, and his staff of trained nurses. The latter are splen- did young women who are ever kind, gentle and considerate to the lucky unfortunates' who fall unde. their care.
 ''The halls in the Pioneer home building are so extensive that they might better be described in mea- surement by mileage than any oth- CT way. Each day they are swept and in most instances mopped, Of course many of the men living in the home are able to do a little work. Each one who is able to do so is given a section of the build ing to keep clean for a month. After that time some one else takes a turn
 "The superintendent has a most able assistant whose duties are many. Each Saturday he gives every man in the home clean bed linen. He hands out the tobacco, matches, etc, and has charge of the dining room for crippled men One of his small jobs is to cut up the food for the men who are with out twp hands or otherwise unable to do it for themselves. This man is Chris Larsen. I think he is the busiest man I have ever soor.
 ''It seems that Mir. Hansen him. self may be seen any time of the day in every part of the building, inspecting and overseeing. He goes around to see that everything is correct, that there is plenty of food properly cooked and we'll served. Meals are served three
