The receut ex j perience of Juneau, where a gasoline explosion threatened with fire the very heart of the city, has served as an ob ject lesson which may not be forgot* ten.

To bolster up the credit of the city of Juneau, which really needs no bolst ering, citizens have come forward pledging their personal credit iu amounts varying from one hundred to one thousaud dollars.
