JACKLING LIKES ELECTRIFICATION PLAN ? o-o ? "The electrification of the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul Railroad, in my judgment, is as important to the peo ple of Seattle as the building 01 th<* Panama Canal. I regard it as the most important thing in transporta tion affairs that has been undertaken during my lifetime." This is the t!c claration of D. C. Jackling, president of the Alaska-C.astineau Mining Com pany, one of the principal owners of many of the copper mines in the Unit ed States, a multimillionaire and the man who raised mining from a specu lative to a commercial or manufactur ing basis. .Tackling, while in Seattle, inspected the construction work on a yacht that is being built here for his use in traveling between Pacific Coast ports. "The people of Seattle," he contin ued, "seem to have no conception of the tremendous potentialities of the abundant water power that dies dorm ant in their hills, literally running to waste. The Coast electric railroad system are nearly perfect, and begin ning with the Butte, Anaconda & Pa cific. the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul ultimately will electrify its en tire system. It is simply the carrying out of an old idea on a big scale. John I). Kyan, who put in the water power plants in Montana and who in duced the Milwaukee to undertake the electrification of its entire system, is the true type of a real conservationist. He is making valuable something which heretofore has been running to waste and he is making it valuable not only for today but forever." ? Seat tle Times. p ? o ? o JACK EGAN DIES AT ROSSLAND. B.

The committee addressed a letter to I the fire department that was consid ered briefly Wednesday evening, and that will be considered further at the regular meeting next Wednesday. The letter is signed by Mrs. J. C. McBride, chairman; B. L. Thane, Mil ton Winn and A. B. Callaham, com mittee, and is as follows: "The undersigned have been select ed by the City Library Committee of j the Juneau School Board for the pur pose of determining the feasibility of erecting a joint building on the lot re served for municipal purposes at the corner of Main and Fourth streets. "It is the opinion of the committee that it is possible to secure in the im mediate future, the erection of a building which will not only serve the purposes which the fire department has so long needed, but for a city li brary and a council chamber, and for other municipal purposes. "It is the belief of the committee that these other purposes of the build ing will not only be objectionable to your organization, but will be desir able for the reason that it will hasten the accomplishment of your plans, and for other reasons which readily sug gest themselves. "If the plan as here outlined meets with the approval of your organization, we ask that you select a committee for the purpose of working out plans, and for the purpose of presenting the matter to the City Council for their approval and assistance." o ? o ? o GOVERNMENT TO INSPECT PACKERS WASHINGTON, July 10.?
