A NEW DEAL IN CITY OFFICIALS

Juneau moved for New Deal in city officials yes
terday Not only did the voters elect Thomas B. judi
son as Mayor but they chose the entire Judson ticket
for Councilmen Only in the first precinct was retir
ing Mayor Goldstein able to muster small lead, he
and his ticket trailing far behind in both the other
two voting districts. 1t was clean cut victory and
while some of us may have slight attack of Maine
Vermont fever for few days we should hastily re-
cover and as good citizens get back of the new Off
Gals in furtherng the interests of Juneau and our
community.
There will be scores of interpretations of the cleo
ton but in the end it SINNERS down to the fact
Mayor-eect Judson and his councilmanic ticket get
the most votes That has proven an excellent way
to elections There appears however to be little
doubt that labor forces played part in the defeat
of the Goldsten ticket
The dog question, too probably had bearing on
the result. Many dog owners were strongly opposed
the leashng ordinance recently enacted by the
Goldsten administration, although Art McKinnon,
who opposed the ordinance, was defeated and G. c
Krause who also opposed it, elected. Mr.. Nc
Knnon however. was the losing Goldstein ticket
and Mr.. Krause the prevailing Judson side.
But while these factors probably figured in the
polling it cannot be overlooked that the successful
candidates. like the losers all substantial and
widely known citizens of Juneau. Mr.. Judson has
served many years previously as Mayor and is well
and favorabiy known. Those running on MS ucKet
are equally well known. Mr. Krause is just complet-
ing term on the Council Henry Messerschmidt has
served previously city councilman and Sam Feldon
is a prominent property owner All reputable ct-
zens of the community they had strong personal
support.
The retiring officials have served the city well.
They need not be ashamed of their record The new
officials go into office with handsome endorsement
by the voters They doubtless will carry forward with
the best interests of Juneau in mind.
To the losers go thanks for faithful community
service to the winners congratulations and best
wishes for their success.

A MOORING BASIN HERE

Interesting news to The Empire today from
Col Thomas M. Robins u S. Corps of Engineers,
Portland Ore, in notice to the effect that the Army
engineers have reported favorably on the development
of moorng basin just north of the Douglas bridge
on the Juneau side of Gastineau Channel But the
engineers have turned down suggested small boat
harbor sites in Juneau and Douglas
Due to the wide interest in the boat harbor pro-
posal the complete communication from Col Robbins

formed that the report thereon, authorized by
Section 3 OF the River and Harbor Act APP
proved August 80, 1885. has been made and
is unfavorable to the improvement at the
sites proposed by interested parties at Douglas
and Juneau, but is favorable to the develop
ment of a mooring basin on the mainland side
of Gastineau Channel Immediately north of
the Juneau-Douglas bridge The principal
grounds upon which the adverse conclusions
are based are: The essentially residential
character of Douglas, the impracticability OF
expanding the proposed site at Douglas and
the considerable expense of removing large
quantity of rock from the proposed site at
Juneau.
You are further advised that you have the
privilege of appeal from the above conclusions
to the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Har-
bors. a permanent body sitting at Washing
ton d c. to which all examination and survey

the board which cannot be collected and put
in shape for proper presentation within four
weeks the board should be informed of this
fact without delay and request made for an

ting information. If oral hearings are desired,
dates for the same may be arranged for by
correspondence with the board
Any further information needed may be OBJ
tanned by application to this office, but atten-
ton is invited to the following regulation as
to the manner in which such information may
be furnished:
Where interested parties desire data nee
essary for the preparation of their appeal to
the Board OF Engineers for Rivers and Har-
bors they will be afforded full opportunity to

SURE-THING INVESTMENTS
DYNAMITE

There is no known formula which
will enable an investor to pick an
absolutely safe investment. Risk is
always present In the ownership of
property.
There is, however, proven, time
tested formula which will enable the
investor to avoid sure losers. Shun
the plausible stranger who guaran-
tees safety and large income at the
same time. The securities faker, like
the race track tout, offers his pros
spective victims sure things"
Be sure that you know exactly
what you are buying before you in
vest. And, more than that, be sure
that you know you are speculating
before you speculate.
This is the gist of some advice re-
Gently offered investors by one OF
the nations leading security author
ities-Charles r. Gay. President of
the New York Stock Exchange. MFR.
Gay pointed out, further, that Fed
eral supervision of securities and
state Blue Sky laws, even though
they have accomplished some fine re-
suits, are no assurance of investment
safety. In some cases, these laws
have actually encouraged the fake
security business-illegitimate brok-
ers use the fact of government su-
pervision as an opportunity for i'm
position on the unwary. offering II
as evidence Of either their own char
acter or the character OF their se-
curities. The Law can't catch every
crook, whether he be a second-story
man or the operator OF bucketshop.
There is no substitute for person
al prudence and caution on the part
of the security buyer. Rules OF the
New York Stock Exchange require
that all concerns listing stocks and
bonds ON its board. make public ex-
haustive information pertinent to
their past experience, the quality of
their management. the purpose for
which new securities are issue. etc. |
Anyone Interested can obtain this in
formation and discover precisely |
what he is buying. The investor who
falls for the old dodge OF sure
thing that will earn SO per cent a
year pfoht." will lose his money SO
times out Of ioe.

Adventure Is Coming
In The American Boy

Readers who like adventure and
the lure of far places will find plenty
to please them in coming issues OF
THE AMERICAN BOY Magazine
They'll read, for instance, OF seamen
and sabotage and San Francisco
waterfront trouble; of daring ad-
venture in the world of pseudo-sci-
ence, and of a feud aboard a plung-
ing, rolling battleship.
They'll read, too, OF excitement
aboard a transport plane blaring
over jungled Mexican mountains,
and of stranger planes that are not
bound to earth but swing through
the noiselessness of space. Readers
can follow young ex-Mountie as
he searches for clues In the wild
northlands, and Tierney, the pie-eat-
ing detective, on the trail of city
sriminals.
A new feature in THE AMERICAN
BOY is picture pages that tell stories.
Pictures, for instance. that vividly
show a day in the life of a coast
guardsman, and how an Eskimo
husky sled dog does his work. They
transmit the thrill of battling a hun
dred pound. water-churning tarpon.
Tips on how its done are also given
pictorially-ranging from how to
run a broken field to how to be cor
rect in a ballroom!
