OPEN HOUSE TO
BE !N ORDER ON
NEW YEAR'S DAY
Scottish Rite Bodies
Will Follow Their
Usual Custom as
Will Others.
From present Indications the New
Year will receive its usual hearty
welcome in Juneau. An unusually
largo number of privato homes arc
planning to hold open house on Mon
day where good cheer and tea will
be dispensed during the afternoon.
The fraternal organizations of the
city are abo taking an active part
In the Now Year's festivities. Ac
cording to their annual custom the
Scottish Rite bodies of Juneau will
hold open house in their lodge room
at Odd Fellows' Hall from two to five
o'clock. This reception Is for all
Masons of whatever degree, and in
yearn past has been an enjoyable
event. The Elks will abo hold op
en house in their club rooms for the
members and the usual ring of good
cheer for which this institution 1h
noted, will doubtless be as hearty
as ever.
This is the first year the Arctic
Brotherhood have had their own
home, and there will also be "things
doing" there for the members on
New Year's Day.
LAW TO PROTECT
CREDITORS WILL
BE CONSIDERED
(Continued from Page 1.)
provisions of this Act from his cred-i
itors ns shown by such verified state
ments, then and in that case the j
provisions of this section shall not
apply."
Local People Favor Plan.
Juneau business men believe that
such a law should be placed on the
statute books. Many small busi
ness houses started in the fast
growing towns of Alaska within the
last few years have been short-lived
?usually because of the lack of suf
ficient capital, but sometimes be
cause of inefficient management. But
before these places have been closed
out, the owner would sell his stock
of goods in bulk to someone for
what he could got out of it, aud
j the creditors have been compelled
to "hold the sack." Some of these
business houses have been sold out
several times, and each sale has left
a bunch of unsatisfied and uncol
lectablc debts. Those business men j
of Juneau with whom the matter
has been discussed believe that the
law should provide for the protection
of the creditors in any sale of any
business In bulk. Many of them
have been caught by failures and
bulk,' sales that followed.

ly after the dance is over.
