ers, financial men, material deal
ers, and others who are capable OF
quantity production of low-priced
homes. Another purpose of the
meetings is to convince these groups
that the construction of homes in
a price range under $4,000 can be
effected under present conditions
in the industry with a reasonable
profit.
The Importance of properly To-
eating these homes is stressed at
the meetings. In the past, Mr.. Mott
says, low-priced homes have not
been considered good investments
because they were, as a rule. not
located properly Only subdivisions
for high-priced homes were properly
plotted and protected The Federal
Housing Administration is showing
the profit which accrues to the in
weston today who utilized good land
planning principles in the develop
ment of low-priced sites.

Gene Weschenfelder and Merit

In the Weathers' party, Weschep-

the successful huntsmen, each get
ting one.
On the return trip to- Juneau,
the Deutz stopped off at PIT. Simon
to pick up four hunters whom it
had left there Saturday morning.
OF that group, Curley Davis had
got himself another fat buck to
fill out his limit for the season.

PRESSURE OF PUBLIC OPINION

Pressure of public opinion is making itself felt
In the maritime strike as it always such situa
tons The first concrete evidence of early settle
ment came yesterday when the employers and en-
ployees finally got together in one conference room
after hurting bitter at another since the
walkout called October 80 True the meeting
broke up after short session with both sides denying
concessions, but even if no settlement reached
at the preliminary gathering it is a good sign that
the opposing factions starting to feel the heat of
the dissatisfied public and they know that shortly
they will have to get together.
The first meeting much like two conference
committees at legislative Congressional session
Both sides reterate what they will and what they
will not do. They charge, allege and carry on to
great extent mostly revealing broad streak of
stubbonness and apparently getting nowhere But
the ice is always broken at those initial meetings
The next step is to play dead until the howls from
the public prods them together again and after
lot of wasted time they invariably get together
Doubtless a similar condition prevails in the pres
ent dispute. The shpowners well know that if they
do not operate their ships eventually somebody else
will operate ships and the employees know that if
they don't back to their jobs somebody else will go
back to those jobs 1t is the well known STALL each
thinking that their position the soundes But the
strongest position is that of the public which demands
and must and will be served.
1t wilabe unfortunate for both sides if they fail
to agree in reasonable time and it becomes necessary
for the government to step in and operate steamships
1t won't be the first time the government has handled
transportation in this country those recalling the
war days will remember
In the meantime here in Juneau and throughout
Alaska the holidays are coming upon us. Survey re-
veals that our merchants are in most instances in
position to supply Christmas needs. Most places
handling Christmas things have at least a limited
supply OF the knick- knacks that make the yuetide
what 1t Is One or two have almost complete
Christmas stock.
Going along in normal course while adding
our voice to the pressure of public opinion on the
outside by supporting public officials in their
efforts to protect Alaska still continues to be the
sensible and intelligent thing to do Incidentally it
would not be too early to start looking over those
Christmas stocks that may be found here in juneau

Horoscope
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
NOVEMBER 49, 1886

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1896
Friendly stars rule today, accord
ing to astrology Business affairs
should prosper under this sway.
In the morning there is benefic
rule for executives and heads of big
enterprises of many sorts. Activities
should be intense and persistent.
The President of the United States,
governors and mayors now will be
faced with extra duties and new
problems of exacting character.
This should be fairly favorable
day for launching important plans
or for starting projects long dis
cussed. Many unusual government
experiments now should prove en-
couraging.
Banks come under a sway that
is read as encouraging to business
men who may succeed in obtaining
loans. or even cooperation in far
flung engineering plans.
Good luck should attend those who
sign contracts today. Actors may
expect profit through long engage
ments
One of the subjects widely discuss
ed through the coming winter will
be death and Immortality, the seers
foretell. Books, plays and leaders
of novel cults will stress mans brief
existence. Meanwhile accidents and
cataclysms of nature will add to the
toll of wars in many lands.
Astrologers counsel men and wo-
men to turn away from whatever is
depressing and to enjoy whatever
is right in the way of pleasure.
Again they predict winter of ex-
traordinary social gayety.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of good for
tune. Both men and women should
receive increased incomes. They will
make many new friends.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be practical and far-see-
ing Subjects of this sign usually
are ambitious and many are ex-
tremely successful.
James A. Garfield, twentieth Pres
ident of the United States, was born
on this day 1881. Others who have
celebrated it as birthday include

lomat and engineer, 1905; Bertel
