NO AUTHORITY
 GIVEN ROWAN
 TO TALK NAVY
Official Denial Is Received Here - Venture Is
 Purely Commercial

According to radio dispatch re- ceived by the Daily Alaska Empire from high ranking Naval au- thority, Key Rowan, who has in private conversations and publicly before two Juneau Chamber of Commerce gatherings told of the large number of Navy men and ships coming to Juneau this sum- mer, and the time they would be here, is unknown to the Naval au- thority. No authority has been granted MT. Rowan to discuss the visit of naval vessels to Juneau or elsewhere, and tn a the Navy News" for which he seeks adver- tising from local merchants, is un- connected officially with the fleet or naval service, and is purely a commercial venture.
 The Empire specifically instructed it's outside press associations months ago to cover fully any news relative to the proposed Navy maneuvers in the North Pacific Ocean this sum- mer, both from Washington, D. C., and from the Commander-in Chief

 of the U S. Fleet, now on the wesl Coast.
 Consequently MT. Rowen's rather
 definite statements about the num- Der coming to Juneau came as a surprise, as The Empire had pre- viously received from unofficial sources that no definite plans had as yet been made for any ships coming into the inland waters. The story in yesterdays Empire relative to the conference called by Admiral Joseph M Reeves, for sec ret plans for six weeks naval ma neuvers in the North Pacific, is the first official story, since gen. eral announcement some time ago that these maneuvers were con- templated.
 Several merchants interviewed to- day said they thought it inad- visable to sign advertising contracts at this time, preferring to wait un- til more definite information as to the Fleets movements were an- nounced.
 Any merchant desiring to see the communication received by The Empire may do so by calling at The Empire office.

was a butcher by trade and for the next five or six years he oper- ated a butcher shop in what was then the beginning of the present city. Later he acquired a dance hall and it was in connection with halls here and in the interior that he acquired his famous monicker Two Step Jake"
 They gave you name in those days and that's what you went by, ' he said, explaining that last names were considered almost extra lug gage then.
 "Swiftwater Bill"
 Ahead of the rush Hirsh went to the interior and with the stampede to Dawson he and his partner "Swifbwater Bill" Gates struck it at Chechako Hill. But they poured it in trying to make more with the upshot they went Outside and raised $30,OO0 on prospects and joined the stampede into the Fair banks district. They made what Two Step Jake" described as considerable money" near Fair banks and with the Nome rush they were again in the lead and made a small fortune at Golofnin Bay. Later they went to Koyukuk and took out $40,0O0.
 It was while still in tine Nome country after the strike that Hirsh, with three others, decided to try his luck in Siberia. The party Of Louie Lane, L. Lindberg, Jake Ro- sene and Hirsh acquired boat and reached Siberia where they were doing what promised to be good business trading in furs when some thing went amiss. The Russian au- thorities moved alongside and gave them "A hours to get out or spend the next 10 years in the salt mines at penal servitude.
 Dropped $l5,OOO
 Tt only took us about "A min utes to get under way" Hirs h chuckled as he recalled the diff culty. It seems that "one of the boys" had acquired" some army rifles and was trading them to the natives for furs, a practice the Russian authorities drowned upon.
 But Two Step Jake" dismissed the incident with, "and lost $15,- 900 in that deal"
 In Alaska Hirsh prospected over most of the Territory. I've made three fortunes and lot of other money, but most of it I put back in the ground and the rest of it just vent he said. Getting and

Pioneer Prospector Who 's Lost Three Fortunes
 NOrtl, On Trail of FOurtl,
Twenty years in the Yukon Twenty years, and I'm old

Twenty years in the Yukon Twenty years, and I'm old
 So sang the famous poet, Robert w. Service, but were he musing today he perhaps would write:
 "Fifty-six years in the Yukon
 "Fifty-six years and I'm young.
 That is he would if he was sing ing of John Hirsh, Two Step Jake" to you, partner. For it was in '79 that Hirsh came from the states to the North country and today at S3, and looking much younger, he is after still another fortune. Three he has made and lost, and out there in the Tenakee Inlet wilderness he believes lies a fourth. Assayers have given some of his samples a high figure so Two Step Jake" may yet make it.
 In From Tenakee
 Two Step Jake" as Hirsh is known to every oldtimer from Kot- zebue to Dixon's Entrance, is a Juneau visitor, having come in from his home on Hirsh Creek, 26 miles above the town of Tenakee on Chichagof Island, for the first time "in a year or two" His pres ent partner, Louis Stich, stayed home to care for things.
 One of the pioneers first ports of call when he arrived in town was the office of Frank Dufresne, As- sistant Executive Officer Of the Alaska Game Commission, for in addition to his mining efforts Two Step Jake" wants some musk rats placed in the waters in the region of his property so that trap ping will be fairly good in a few years. The bottom is out of the mink market, he reports. and the skins he and his partner sent to Seattle are still with the broker aWaltlng Detter prlceS.
 Follows oo:ien Lure
 But mining is Hirsh's principal hobby, diversion and business, and true to the lure of yellow metal, he feels that if property develop ment is obtained fortune awaits in the Tenakee.
 The life struggles of this veteran prospector in his battle with the north overshadows even the fiction ist's lurid tales, for in his 56 years in the Territory he has lived through it all from the blare and the glamor at Dawson to the less colorful pace of the present day.
 Juneau was Hirshs first stop in Alaska when he came in 1879. He

APPOINTMENTS SCHEDULED AT
 CITY COUNCIL
Municipal Employees to Be Named in SD ecial
 Session Tonight

Appointment of municipal em- ployees and possible discussion of the proposed move of the North land Transportation Company to the City Dock will be the features Of the special session of the City Council scheduled to start at 8 o'clock tonight at City Hall.
 The city's fiscal year having ended on April l, appointments must be made for one year on the following positions: Street Com missioner, City Clerk and Magis- trate, Chief of Police, three Patrol men, Librarian, Fire Chief, Assist ant Fire Chief, Fire Alarm Care taker, two Fire Truck Drivers, Treasurer, Cemetery Caretaker and Health Commissioner.
 Written applications will be con- sidered by the Council tonight and it is expected that appointments also will be made then.
 Speculation Rife
 Speculation will be rife until after the meeting over the ap- pointment of the Chief Of Police, asmuch as it is unofficially understood that c. J. Davis, pres ent head of the police deparment, will not seek office another term.
 However if the Council runs true to form and follows custom, there will be no speculation over the fire department appointments. The department recently voted on it's nominees and the Council probably will accept their recommendations.
 The first department has selected V. w. Mulvihill as Fire Chief; William Neiderhauser as Assistant Fire Chief Minard Mill and J. s. McKinnon as Company Foremen, and H. M. Porter as Alarm Care taker.
 Dock? Maybe
 City Hall officials were not cer- tain this afternoon whether the Northland Transportation Company proposition to move from Fem mers Dock to the municipally- owned City Dock would be dls- cussed tonight.
 Tonight's session will be the second one for G. E. Krause, new ly elected Councilman.

Japan Serves Full Meal
Before Tea Is Offered

In its early days the teabush was
called cha and in early English writ
ings is referred to variously as cha.
tcha and chaw and later is called tay
and tee. Oddly enough, states writer
in Pathfinder Magazine, the tea shrub
belongs to the plant family known as
theaceae. From the name cha is also
derived chanOyu, the Japanese word
for time honOred Institution, the tea
ceremony, rooted in the principles of
the Buddhist sect, Zen, and founded on
admiration of the beautiful in daily
life such as cooking, etc. This cere-
mony takes place in the chaseki (tea-
room) which is usually about nine feet
square, or smaller, to suggest genree!
poverty to the guest although no ex-
pense Is spared In the interior. Each
guest crawls into the room through a
small door about three feet square AMI
finds an alcove filed with expensive
ornaments and a fireplace for sleeping
tea sunk into the floor.
According to the rules Of best JAP
anese etiquette a full meal is served
before the pouring and drinking of the
tea. This custom was founded under
the Shotgun Yoshimasa about the mid
die of the Fifteenth century and still
flOurishes among those who remain
faithful to and cherish the old spirit
of Japan.

Nationwide Wholesale
Trade Advances; Retailers
Find October Disappointing

Retail trade was somewhat disap-
pointing during the greater part of
October, according to the nationwide
business survey conducted by the De-
partment of Commerce. Unseasonably
warm weather cut into Fall buying
and resulted in a decline in volume
from the previous week in many
areas. In some cities, including New
York, declines were shown from the
same period last year, but on the
whole October business has been bet
ter than last year.
Wholesale trade has not been SUBJ
ject to the fluctuations apparent in
retail lines, but has shown steady
advances. Buying of goods for the
holiday trade has been strong with
indications that all lines of this class
merchandise will surpass the volume
of the previous year by a good
margin.
In crop regions, farmers were cash
ing in on good yields with prices
received relative TO prices paid run
ming higher than in five years. Cash
farm income for the first eight
months of the year rose to $4,020,-
100000 from $3,754, 100000 in the
same period of 1884, while cash
income for the entire year is esti-
mated at $6,7OO,OOO,OOO. The farm
machinery and equipment industry
predicts sales of $350,000,000 to
$400, 900, 900 for the year.
The cotton spinning industry re-
vived in September to 1890 of ca
pacity on a single shift basis, COM
pared with $500 in September last
year, with 22,683,818 of the $685.

A trade balance of $3s,536,000 in
favor of the United States resulted
from the foreign trade. activity in

sold $685. $4,000 of merchandise
abroad and imported goods to the
values of $161, 653,0O0.
