After a 10 years absence from the Territory, J. L. Cavanaugh, repre- sentative of Marshall Wells Com pany, Portland wholesale hardware firm, returned to Juneau and to AL aska to resume work in the Terri tory.
 Cavanaugh, who first came to the Territory 16 years ago, then repre- senting Marshall Wells, expressed appreciation of the notic ca D e changes in the last 10 years. The population has obviously increased. old Buildings torn down, new ones built. streets greatly improved. vast public works projects partially or wholly completed. business conser1

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not conspe"
TUESDAY. APRIL 8

| TUESDAY, APRIL 8
 Benefic aspects dominate after the early hours today. In the morn- ing adverse influences rule women. but the evening brings happiness to many. There is a promising sign for developing what has been al- ready planned.
 Heart and Home: Under this configuration girls may be diff cult to guide, for the stars do not incline them toward domestic tasks. In the evening, which is lucky for social entertainments, love affairs will flourish. Warning is given that hearts rule heads at this time when speedy courtships and nasty marriages will be numerous. This is day of financial uncertainty to many heads of families, i. but the worst will not happen to those who speculate on a tricky market se Business Affairs: Prosperity will continue in rising tide as groups of smaller manufacturers prove their ability to compete with great industrial organizations. Miracles are to be performed in mass pro- duction of airplanes, machine tools and the endless necessaries of amod- eln warfare. Tanks of incredible power are to be invented. The taE ents which have made American business a leader will accomplish wonders when turned toward de- lenSe. d
 National Issues: Self -sufficiency will be stressed by economists who see the wisdom of developing the national resources so that complete independence may be attained in case of international difficulties. President Roosevelt will gain in the respect of all who recognize his foresight in having discerned the Hitler peril long before the Nazi menace was accepted seriously. The seers now believe that the head of the United States government will be the Nemesis of the dictator. International Affairs According to astrology evil portents ruled when Mussolini issued his ultima tum to Greece. On the date that spurred Greece to heroic defense the Sun was square to Pluto, which was in conjunction with Mussolinis natal Sun. The configuration was forbidding and the final results of the misdirected campaign will be an eclipse for the Italian dictator, although he will be aided to a cer- tain extent by Hitler, it is fore told.
 Persons whose birthdate it IS have the augury of year of suc- cess. Unexpected favors as well as hard-earned gains may be attained this year.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be quick-witted and strongly individual. They are like ly to have talents of a high order. Artistic success is indicated. q

 In detective novels, it always is customary for the Master Mind sleuth to do the slick work, mak- ing a monkey of the police, who stumble about in stupidity and grope in ignorance. For example LeStrade.
 To make the police look ridiculous, say the Nazis is per SC undermining discipline. Hence, subversive

NO. U. S. SUPPLIES

Knowing all this, the new Yugo- slav Government, having subsided from the first flush of enthusiasm, last week began to take stock of it's military assets. Particularly it began to ask its allies about concrete mili- tary support.
 And since Roosevelt and U. S. Minister Arthur Bliss Lane had been delivering encouraging mes sages batting the new government on the back, the Yugoslavs made a discreet military inquiry of the Greeks what military supplies the United States had given them. And they received the very discouraging reply that up until then (March 29) the United States had come across with not one piece of military equip ment

 Therefore, it is certain that now Hitler has finally attacked in the Balkans, his onslaught will be all the more ferocious because of the Yugoslav face-slap. Also his advance will have been all the more carefully prepared.

est. Justice requires the statement
that Riel cannot be held directly re-
sponSible for the massacre at Frog
lake by Big Bear and his band Of
Indians; for while he may have stirred
up the savages to go upon the war
path, they at no time served under
his command.
One factor that he presumably over
looked In planning the insurrection
was the Canadian Pacific railroad. 1t
was not then completed but never
theless was of great aid in forward
ing troops from Ottawa to reinforce
the Northwest Mounted police. The
half breeds fought with great gallant
ry but were unable to resist the
trained army that they encountered.
It is interesting to note in passing
that one Of the heroes of the cam
paign was Francis Dickens, a son OF
the novelist who has caused the al
ternating smiles and tears of millions.
In brief, after a few hard fought
battles, the rebellion was suppressed.
After the Canadians had taken Ba-
touche, Riel gave himself up as a
prisoner of war. In due course he
was placed on trial for treason before
the stipendiary magistrate at Regina
The trial was an occasion Of great
interest and was participated in by
eminent counsel from remote parts of
the dominion. Riel's attorneys put in
the defense Of insanity, which he him
self scornfully repudiated The jury
promptly returned a verdict of guilty;
the court pronounced sentence of
death and on Sept. 10, 1885, he was
executed. On the scaffold he bore him
self with the utmost dignity and mo-
