ARTS AND CRAFTS EXHIBIT
Al TRACTS MUCH INTEREST
?? ?
An interesting and unique arts and
eratis exhibit iu the windows of the!
V> inter and fond company store is at
tracting more than passing notice. lUe
articles show n were an made in Juneau
iroiii Alaska products, principally cop
per and old mastodon ivory by Albert
berry, the Juneau craftsman.
One exceptionally hue piece is a
reading lamp in copper and old ivory,
with a large dome-shaped shade of
beaten copper with panels of amber
and green hammered glass; the de
sign oil the base 01 the lamp is based
on the style of the totemic carvings
and represents Yahl, the Kaven. a
prominent feature in the carvings of
the luiingets. It is particularly well
adapted to the decoration of a lamp,
as in the legendry of the Indian tribes
Yahl is giveu credit for bringing light:
the sun, moon and stars?to earth1
iu the days of the creation.
A reading lump, with smokers' tray
combined, is another attractive piece
on account of its practicability und
the beauty of design.
Other pieces deserving more than
passing notice are a copper and brass
vase with old ivory settings; a candle
stick iu copper with a stem of pure
white ivory and some exquisitely
shaped vases and bowls. To illus
trate the process of making hand
wrought pieces a very interesting ex
hibit has ben prepared showing a bowl
in ti\e stages of development, which
tells the story at a glance.
Man> of Mr. Berry's original de
signs. in water color, are also on dis

MODERN APARTMENT
HOUSE FOR JUNEAU
Juneau Is to have a modern apart
ment house. N. W. Bowen, who re
cently arrived in Juneau, has pur
chased a tract of ground Just north of,
. and adjoining the court house grounds,
1 from Clark Smith and will immediate
ly erect a largo apartment house.
The building will contain twenty
four modern, 2-room and bath apart
ments. The living room of each suite;
will be equipped with wall disappear- j
Ing beds. The plumbing is to be of!
the latest and most approved sanitary;
type. All of the conveniences found in |
the same class of building in cities j
of the States will be supplied in the
building to bo erected here.
The structure"Is to be two stories In!
height and will rest on concrete piers'
built on the solid bedrock. It will be
I a large substantial building und of the
latest type of frame structure. There
will be air spaces in the outside walls
and deadening plaster in the interior
walls. It is to be warm and comfort
able throughout and will be offered to
tenants on an economical basis com
patible with good business judgment, j
DENNY MOLLOY CAN'T
PLAY FOR FORTNIGHT
Denny Molloy will not be able to
handle a bail for another fortnight, ac
cording to Dr. L. 0. Egginton, who
made an examination with the X-ray
and took a photograph of the injured
member. The photo shows that the;
bone in the middle linger of the right:
hand is split between the knuckle
joint and the wrist and raised out of
position. The fracture will have to
be reduced over again or there will.
be a constant menace of permanent in-1
jury. Dr. Egginton will place the i
hand in a plaster cast for two weeks. ?
when it is expected that the injury will
be permanently healed.
This is hard lines on Denny, who is1
itching to get in the Held and have a
little exercise. It is also disquieting
news to the fans who had hoped to
see him in the opening game.
It is possible that the first game be
tween Douglas and Juneau may be
played on the home grounds next Sun
day?but it is only possible.
Grounds Look Good.
All of the new talent, Including C.
Dugan. M.D., were out on the new
grounds yesterday afternoon and they
are beginning to like them. This line
sunshine is having a soothing effect
on the newcomers and they are going
to like the place.
Dick Hester who will likely hold
down left field is a strapping big fei
low and looks capable of lifting, tho
sphere over onto the mining claim of
Jules Caro. Bill Reid who was Im
ported to play fist base is another big
fellow and ought to be strong with j
the swat stick. Walter Ford is going j
to like Juneau, he is taking an inter-;
est in society events already, and he
will certainly become a real favorite
i if he pitches good ball. Young Callnn
is a mighty deceptive looking package.
He is not very tall but he weighs 170
and is said to be the longest hitter in
the bunch?not the longest between,
hits?but there with the big drive.
They all look good and Juneau Is anx
ious to see 'cm in action.
