WESTERN PRAIRIE STATES

Chicago, Jan. 25.-(AF)-A severe
cold wave, accompanied by a snow

flood waters surged over large part
of northern Illinois and southern Wis

MORGAN RETURNS
FROM NORTHWEST,
PICTURE is BRIGHT

His business in the Pacific North
west completed in week less time
than he had anticipated, T. A. Nor
gan, local head of the Columbia
Lumber Company arrived back in
Juneau yesterday aboard the north
bound Alaska Line steamer Baranof,
after being absent from Juneau two
weeks
Immediately following his arrival
in Seattle, Mr. Morgan conferred
with Columbia Lumber Company Of
ficials on routine company bust
ness, including preliminary arrange
ments for the coming building sea-
son.
Although there is a decided slump
in building activity in the North
west, according to knowledge Mr..
Morgan cleaned from his confer
ences in Seattle, he stated on his re-
turn here today that Everything
points to a much more active build
ing season in Juneau this coming
summer than was experienced dur
ing 1887. Already plans are nearly
materialized for several projects, y
he declared
After about a week in Seattle,
during which he completed arrange
ments to care for the expected
building rush in Juneau, Mr. Nor
gan continued south to Portland.
Oregon, where he went into meeting
with officials of the Federal Home
Loan Bank, concerning business of
the Alaska Federal Savings and
Loan Association of Juneau, OF
which he is President
His business in Portland com
pleted Mi Morgan went on to Cor
Wallis, Oregon, for brief visit with
his parents there before returning
north
Mr.. Morgan is anticipating con-
siderable development in both the
activities of the Columbia Lumber
Company and of the Alaska Federal
Savings and Loan Association dur
ing the near future. In ALL his brief
trip was entirely successful. he de-
clared. The publicized business re
cession" is not quite as dark as has
been painted, at least in the North
west, is his conception. He says a
considerable part of the slackness in
building industries in that section
is caused by labor difficulties.

Discusses
Child Welfare at
J. W. c. Luncheon
Large Attendance Marks
Gathering at Gas
tineau Cafe

Applauded by a group of 81 mem
hers and guests of the Juneau Wo-
mans Club, George c. Penny, well
fare supervisor for the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, presented an en-
tightening discussion of child well
fare problems throughout the Ter
ritory, at the luncheon meeting OF
the club yesterday in the Gastineau
Cafe
Mr.. Penny pointed out the prob
lens resultant from failure of the
Territorial legislature to adopt the
Social Security provision for depen-
dent children, and further noted
the vital need for care of deaf, mute
and blind white children in the Ter
ritory. Indian children, under this
classification, are cared for through
the Bureau of Indian Affairs, he
stated.
Another evil existent in the Terri
tory is the practice of committing
dependent children to reform
schools, merely to provide care for
them, he stated, pointing out the
harmful effect of having monde
subjected to such an en-
vironment and explaining that the
practice is evident throughout the
Territory.
Mrs. H. c.. Wilcox, president of
the Public Welfare department of
the club. presided at the meeting
for which decorations in the club
colors, green and white. added to
the occasion.
Brief announcement was made of
