RAY CONSOLIDATED i
OUTPUT IS GOOD
The Boston News Bureau, comment- <
ing upon the November output of the ]
Kay Consolidated, one of the Col. D. <
C. Jackling properties, says: !<
"Kay Consolidated produced 4,925,- ,
000 pounds of copper in November, ac- <
cording to preliminary estimates; 215, |
8i9 tons were treated against 217.591 |
tons in October.
"By the end of February it is ex- ? <
pected that Kay will be utilizing the s
present daily capacity of its mill, 8,- ;
000 tons. i
"Costs of production, which during i
the third quarter of the year in- '
creased to 10.1 cents a pound from 9.5 i
cents in the June 30 quarter, have
since improved, and by the end of De-i
ceuiber are expected to be back to 9}& I
cents once more.
"While no definite plans for further 11
mill capacity have been made, such a j,
step may be taken In the future. An j
increase to 12.000 tons daily capacity <
could be accomplished at comparative- |
ly small expenditure, as the present
mill was built with this possibility in i
mind." ]

FORNER URGES DESTRUCTOR
PLANT FOR JUNEAU
?+?
JUNEAU, Jan. 10?To the Editor:
A destruction plant for the City of
Juneau would bo the proper thing,
aside from being the most sanitary.
The by-products of such a plant would
pay for its construction and earn mon
ey for the city.
The present site for the garbage
dump is now fringing the baseball
grounds and unless the garbage is
loaded on barges and deposited in mid
stream while the tide is going out,
will eventually become a menace If
left to accumulate on our main lands.
Very truly yours,
C. K. FORNER.

JUNEAU BOY SCOUTS
TO ORGANIZE NEXT
Tho work of organizing the Boy
Scouts of America among the students
jf the Juneau public school is to be
laken up by Superintendent C. Green,
who gives out tho following informa
Jon concerning the organization:
The Scout Oath. 1
"On my honor, I will do my best to
]o my duty to God and my country,
ind to obey the scout law; to help;
jthers at all times; to keep mself phy-j
jlcally strong, mentally- awake and >
morally straight."
The Scout Law.
There are twelve points to the scout
law. The scout must bo trustworthy,
loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind,
jbedient, cheerful, thrifty, clean and
reverent.
Motto and Flag History
The scout motto is: "Do a good turn
each day."
The flag history dates from the adop
tion of the flag, June 14,1777. The red
[n tho flag comes from England; the
white is indicative of our separation
from that country, and the stars stand
for the States?one star for each
State.
The Scout Pin.
The scout pin stands for the north
of the compass. The up-curve at the
bottom is for the smile on tho scout's
lips; the knot for his promise to do
"a good turn each day"; th? ..thrco
points on the upper part are for tho
three pointB of the scout law, as set.
forth in the scout oath.
All these things must be learned by
the boy scojt who is required to make
an effort to live up to them.
The organization is not military.

hotels in the Pacific Coast cities, as
well as In most of the hotels in Alas
ka, where it will serve the public as a
book of reference, and tho city it rep
resents as a standing advertisement.

NEW YORK BANKER
PRAISES PRESIDENT i
NEW YORK, Jan. 10?The head of ,
one of the largest trust companies In ,
this city, discussing tbo business out- .
look for the country, took a position ,
of extreme optimism, and gave un
dented praise to . President Woodrow ^
Wilson for the passage of the curren
cy bill and the tariff bill, which, he '
said, have contributed to the' bright
prospects. Ho said:
"It's a big and very difficult thing,
the formation of a new currency sys- ?
tem. Now that the Wilson Adminis '
tration has done it, we can realize 1
that the Administration has accom
plished a great deal In constructive 1
legislation.
"The President's effort to reconcile -
the Sherman law to the business ot
the country is also a notable endeavor
I believe he is earnestly determined
to do all in his power so to adjust J
workings of the law, either by amend- '
ment or by its application to the bua 1
Iness of the country, that the men en 1
gaged in corporate enterprise will be '
ibie to go ahead understanding^.
"It is time to appreciate the fact I
that the President is a profound stud
ent of the history and philosophy of
government and of diplomacy and that
lie has qualified himself to become a 1
statesman and diplomat.
"The President is also a politician in 1
the best sense of the word, as is shown '
by the manner in which he has recon
ciled conflicting opinions and brought 1
to his support when who had not be
fore agreed on any measure of curren
cy reform.
"It has required the ability of a very '
ible diplomat and politician to accom- '
pliBh his ends. But his ends have been 1
lccomplishcd, and he is as powerful '<
it Washington as Roosevelt ever was.
The difference is that he has not !
gained his power by wielding the big
stick, and has been using his power
for constructive, rather than destruc
tive, measures."
Sun Canvass Indicates Better Business.
