Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1887

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3l, 1887 Adverse planetary aspects are discerned in the horoscope for this last day of the year. The wise will look forward and will forget 1 past failures and disappointments. Under this rule there may be a tendency toward self-deception. Men and women may behold them selves as victims of bad luck instead , of the makers of their own deStin- lies.
 Optimism should rule, despite ill omens of world conflicts. Many opportunities for fame and fortune are coming in 1888 which is to record the history of extraordinary dramas in many nations. Rulers in Europe and Asia are | to change and sudden deaths may alter international relations. Ends | of brilliant careers are prophesied.
 Because each unit in nation has special influences, astrologers coun- sel every citizen of the United Staes to accept individual reSpon- sibility in maintaining peace in a time when Mars frowns on the plan , ct Earth.
 Workers today are subject to un- favorable planetary influences. They should seek just appraisement of their brains and brawn. Enmities and jealousies should be overcome. Harmonious aspects of Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter promise pleas ant things for the beginning of the lnew year.
 Confidence and faith should rule as 1897 closes. The stars encour- lage determination, courage and business energy.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have ! the augury of year of fortunate experiences. Both men and women may expect certain unsettled rela- tions in business and at home, but prosperity is indicated.
 | Children born on this day prob ably will be highstrung, intellectual and energetic The subjects of Cap ricorn may combine artistic talents with practical traits. Many reach high achievement by their determin- ation and reliability.
 James L Fields, writer and pub fisher, was born on this day 1877. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Peter John de Smet, Jesuit missionary, 1901; Lord
 Cornwallis, British general, 1738.

JANUARY BUSINESS IN JUNEAU

There seems to be an undying fallacy in business that January has to be bad business month. Aided and abetted by lot of illogical thinking emana ting from some of so-called economic experts that because some shoe factory in Boston isn't going to turn out quite many pairs of shoes right after Christmas Bill Jones in Juneau isn't going to need just much to eat.
 It may be that where seasonal occupations govern the economic life of community falling off in busi- ness is noted in the first few months of every year sort of recession after the holidays But here in Juneau, fortunately, We have no cause for worry on that score. However, do permit that first of the year recession psychology from the Outside to haze thinking, with the result that of determined January going to be bad month, despite the fact that there isn't iota of fact on which to base such viewpoint.
 Juneau business is dependent primarily, two factors-the continued operations of the Alaska Ju- mine and its enormous payroll and the huge Federal employee payroll neither of which much from January to December True during the summer months the trade fishing and other seasonal returns bolster that economic setup here it does throughout the Territory. But right in this commun ity have steady burning substantial backlog for local business l2 months in the year
 The Alaska Juneau employs around 900 men the year around according to latest payroll report of the company It is safe to estimate that the average pay is at least five dollars day which means at least Sl35Ooo payroll alone aside from large expenditures for supplies pours into coffers of in this city every month
 The best estimates will show that the Federal and Territorial payroll compares favoraby with the mine and probably exceeds it. Consider these two factors along with the regular payrols of business and indus trial plants in which operate in January just they do in July and Juneau has about much reason to look upon January a bad month a Chinaman does to think he recapture Shanghai single-handed
 The 5000 to 7,500 persons that make up Juneau and the Gastneau Channel community going to need just much food in January they do any other month of the year They will need in compari son as many clothes more tons of coal tanks of oil. They will attend just many picture shows They will carry their usual social activities.
 Business in January is going to be just as normal in Juneau as it was in November; it will be in March. The fact of the matter is that business in January will be good, if we just get away from the faacy that January is going to be bad month

PROGRESS ON NEW SCHOOL
 BUILDING IS NOTED HERE

With the clustering more than half finished, and light fixtures now being set, work on the new Doug las school building has reached a point where one can readily believe the members and students can take possession in February as promised by the school board
 All the clustering is completed on the top floor of the school and well along on the second floor The heating system has been installed for some time and is in operation for drying out the building.
 A new oil burner is to be in- stalled to replace the one now in use which is unsatisfactory
 The Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, which has the con- tract for the electrical work, began hanging the fixtures on the upper floor this morning They consist of light opalescent porcelain bowls over suitable lamps for direct light ing designed to afford maximum of light Opalescent globes will pre- vent glare.

Levi Goes to Blighty
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 The mighty Leviathan goes the way of all out dated liners-the way which leads to the scrapping yard and the junk dock when days of profitable opera tions are over.
 Her sale by the United States Lines to British metal interests means the breaking up of another big ship into little pieces Most of those pieces likely to find their way into armament. Such is the usual destiny of old ships these days Thus Levahan born on the eve of the World War takes her final curtain Mars again rides menacingy over the world Her owners refuse Japanese bid Her steel will help make military equipment for John Bull
 Though the Leyiathan is out dated she is only 23 years old, She had made only three round trips as the German Vaterland when the World War brought internment Later came seizure and service an American troop ship Upon her wide decks were packed more soldiers than had ever before been ried in single vessel She ferred 10000 to and from France
 Like some of those she brought back, the LeVa- than was never able to make a go in civil life Mill lions were spent refurbishng her For a time she the biggest and finest afloat but too big appar ently to dividends Newer and Speedier ships took the cream of the trade away from her. It is upon that which the superliner must live.
 So poor old Levi sails to Eighty and with her will go memories less fond, of thousands of American veterans And when the saws and hammers and torches begin to demolsh her in the breaking dock may not familiar ghost voices be heard in her depths, something about that mademoiselle from Armenters the pledge of those stout-hearted youngsters of 1917 vowing they wont back till it's over over there?"

THE COP. PURGE MOVE

With at least three years of national leadership before the Democratic party political interest with the 1888 Congressional elections in the offng centers hese long winter months around the so-caled purge of the Republican party in an effort toward rehabi- ation of policies keeping with the trend of he times.
 The cry of purge comes from an apparently grow ng faction within the COP, and strange it may seem one of the burgers halls from Vermont, of he two states to carried at the Presidential election by the minority party. He is Gov George D. Aiken, who is quoted saying that the Republican eadershp of Vermont demands purge of reactionary md unfair clements and eff the demand is not met must look elsewhere for an organization"
 Whether Gov Aiken is being groomed pos sble standard bearer for the liberal group of the Republican party remains to be seen but appar jenty there is strong sentiment within the party for Ian about face in general policies.
 William Allen White famed Emporia Kansas, editor recently in editorial pointed out the poss- btes of Mayor Florello LaGuardia of New York City las standard bearer in 1940 There was some eye brow raising among the party leaders following the White suggestion, but nevertheless, when the Inst- ute of Public Opinion few weeks ago conducted a poll of Republicans possible Republican choices for 94O the New York mayor in third place being topped only by Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michi- gan, and the unsuccessful former Gov. Landon of Kansas.
 Another interesting turn the Institute poll re- veaed that the majority of the Republicans re- turning ballots not satisfied with the present leadership of the COP and that they believed de- velopment of leadership essential and should be pointed toward liberal social and economic viewpoint
 The old order dies hard but there is growing evil dence that within the Republican party is arising sentiment in favor of turning the old horse out to pasture and trading the buggy in on a new stream lined which might have chance to keep up with the rapidly changing age,
