 Dear Fellows:
 I am writing this letter in the hope that it will benefit the club. In the last few weeks there has been a decided lack of cooperation on the part of the members. Let's cor rect this fault. Let's show the Co., Advisors we are Il per cent behind them. When the Co-Advisors an- nounce practice, let's have turn out of the whole team and not half
 It seems that the younger fellows in the club have more club spirit than the older fellows, which is not so good, is it? So, fellows, let's correct all these faults and truly make the T. s. c. Jrs. as great a club as it deserves to be.

HOStetter North On investigation
 Work in Interior
Agent Knows of No Immed- late Plans to Reopen
 Juneau FBI Office

D. s. Hostetter, representative of the Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion in Seattle and formerly in charge of the Juneau office before it's closing, arrived here on the Baranof and will continue on to Fairbanks by plane in connection with work of his office, and per- haps touching at several other cities in the Interior and Westward before returning south.
 There are no immediate plans, so far as the Seattle office knows, for reopening of the Juneau office at this time, the agent reported, although it is felt that it is needed. An appropriation totaling $308,00O had been asked of Congress for Juneau and four other offices but so far no definite word has been given out of what the ultimate re- suit was. It is possible, Hostetter said, that the closed offices might be reopened if money is made available, perhaps in seven or eight months.

 A Goddess and two attendants will be chosen by the Chamber to reign over the celebration and they will ride in state on a specially pre- pared float in the big holiday par ade.
 Indications are that virtually every organization in town will have float in the parade, Program Chair man John E. Pegues said today, probably resulting in the biggest and most colorful parade ever held in Juneau.

Records Float
 Away as De|uge
 Continues Here
24-Hour Summer Mark Is
 Smashed by Unusual June Weather

Another Juneau weather record went floating down stream this morning when the Weather Bureau started measuring and discovered that from 3 am. yesterday to 3 am. this morning total of 283 inches of rain had fallen here, setting a new record for 24-hour precipitation in June as well as for any of the five summer months of April, May, June, July and August. The heaviest previous 24-hour mark was made in 1881 when 2.35 inches was recorded in one period in June.
 Keeping up the pace, the reading at noon today revealed 2.20 inches of rain from noon yesterday to noon today, and, according to the weather prophets, the end is not yet. They predict no prospect for let up within at least 36 hours.
 The total rainfall for the month so far up to noon today was 6.76 inches or the third wettest on record, having been surpassed only in 1904 and 1882. With l2 more days to go there was a possibility that this June of 1888 might sur pass all previous tunes, even 1904 which saw a total of l1.50 inches and 1882 when 10.59 was recorded. The pace for the first IS days is comparable with 1904, virtually the same amount, 6.80 inches.
 Incidentally, June over 30-year period has proven to be the norm- ally driest month of the year in Southeast Alaska which makes the continual rainfall all the more unusual" shall we say.
 NO fishing" signs were again in evidence today and several reports were heard of plans to plant cut throats in some of the major "riv- CTS" around town.

Baranof Project
 Being Examined;
 Special REC Man
G. B. Grieve Here to Study Application Government
 Hotel Loan

G. B. Grieve, special representa- tive of the Reconstruction Finance Mortgage Company, has been stop ping over in Juneau between calls of the steamer Prince George, to make a survey of the Baranof Hotel project.
 Grieve said two other Alaskan hotels had received financing from the REC mortgage subsidiary, the Anchorage Hotel and the Nordale, in Fairbanks having made extensive improvements to their structures through REC aid.
 Those hotels are doing a land office business, now" Grieve said, "and they're sleeping in the halls"
 Grieve also said the REC has listed a net profit of $12000O, ,0OO from February 1882 to December 31, 1887. The mortgage subsidiary which Grieye represents, handles financing for construction Of in- come producing property.
 He said that in the instance of such a loan as the Baranof Hotel would call for, not more than 50 per cent of the cost of the com pleted structure would be loaned and that loan would be secured by first mortgage.
 "T'he loan more or less depends on whethe or not the REC feels there is an economic need for the structure, and if the REC is to make a loan, it will not make a loan until it is assured that the construction can be financed to completion" Grieve said.
 Asked whether or not the hotel project here would be financed Grieve was non-committal, but commented that If Juneau wants a new hotel, they might as well get it."

MINING MAN ON WAY TO QU|CLEY
 HILL PROPERTY

Ernest F'ranSen, Interior mining man, associated with Cliff Hawkins in developing quartz property in the Kantishna, arrived in Juneau this morning on the Baranof and is awaiting favorable weather for a PAA flight to Fairbanks.
 Fransen and Hawkins are devel- oping high grade quartz on what is known as Quigley Hill, about 90 miles back into the Kantishna coun- try from the Government Railroad, on the north side of Mt. Mckinley.
 If further prospecting shows enough ore to warrant installa ton of a large mill, work vii probably be begun next year, it is believed. Fransen said that by the end of this summer, the 90-mile road to the rail line will probably be fin ished, and make the heretofore in accessible property easily reached.
