SCHOOL NOTES
Watch this columu! There's go
ing to be something doing at the
school house. You will have to
guess for a while. Just one little
toint—Halloween.
From reliable private sources, it
is today leamesd that the Venus
mine near Carcross, one of the
properties of the Lacklnaw &
Tagish Mines company, resumed op
erations last Tuesday, and that the
work has been continuous since
that time, electric lights having
been installed recently.
Every thing is in good shape for
the winter season, and the flotation
mill is in operation, from which
concentrates will be (shipped regular
ly.
Mr. McFarland, jvho was recently
superintendent, and who now is as
sistant to the manager with head
quarters in Vancouver, will return
before the first of the year with a
light auto truck and trailers which
will be used in freightng from the
railway to the property.
In speaking of the mine, Mr.
McFarland said: "While the Venuo
is not a big mine, from the present
indications, still It s a good small
urouerty, and will be so for years
to come, as the ore body has been
positively located and a large
i amount of good paying ore is in
sight. The company will use all
the men that there is room to work
and shipments of concentrates will
egi;tinue indefinitely."

OBJECT 10
EXiHUTIOH
Washington, Oct. 12.—The gov
ernors of the various states are
not all in sympathy with the plan
of Provost Marshal General Crowd
er to have all the m«n registered
under the selective conscription act
who have not already been called
up for examination summoned for
the physical test during the next
two or three months. Responses
already received would indicate
that the governors see a good many
objections to the plan .
For one thing, it is pointed out
by some of the governors that
men may be physically fit today
and in six months from now physi
cally unfit for service in the war.
In other words, according to govern
ors who nrake this point, If the re
maining seven million of conscripts
should be called up for physical
examination this fall and their
services should not be actually
needed for six months or a year a
great many of them would In ail
probability be unfit for service
when called out.
Another objection raised to the
plan is that the local exemption
boards nearly everywhere feel that
they are entitled to some Pest. The
calling up for examination of the
seven million men who thus far
have not been examined would, it
is pointed out, keep these lcoal
boards busy for a long time. It
may be said, however, that this ob
jection is not looked upon a.s a/
valid one by the provost marshal
general's office. In time of war
men who are serving their country
are not expected to consult their
personal convenience.
In spite of the objections to the
plan for immediate examination for
the men who have not thus far been
summoned the probability now
seems to be that the decision of
the President and the secretary of
war will be that these examina
tionb shall be made before the end
of the calendar year.
CANADA MAKES BIG
SPRUCE SHIPMENTS
Juneau, Oct. 11.—Various lumber"
men in Canada are sending out,
week)/, in excess of one million
feet of Sitka spruce. This select
ed lumber is procured from the
forests of Queen Charlotte Island.
Some of it is sawed; and & large
quantity is taken in logs to the
mills of the coast. Thia lumber
is shipped East and is used in. the
construction of airplanes. An im
perative demand has been made
for all availably spruce of this
character. Orders aggregating
175,000,000 feet are now In the
bauds of the operators.
A. B. Dodd, interested in mining
enterprises in this section, who
has just returned from the Statefc,
brings the news of the great emo
tivity in Canada in the procuring
and shipping of the spruce lumber.
Hs states that a large number of
men are beingbrought to the Cana
dian forests for the purpose of
getting out the lumber.
"Labor troubles in Seattle have
interfered very materially Jn the
shipyards of the coast," was the
further observation made by Mr.
Dodd. Four of the largest planfs
hive practically suspended opera
tions on account of tbe strike.
.W hile in Seattle, Mr. Dodd met
a number of J.uneau boys who had
enlisted. All of them were very en
thusiastic and anxious to go to
the front. If denied admission lo
one branch of the service, they
immediately apply to another depar
merit to be enlisted.
George Barnett, who for the past
several years has been engaged in
the painting anil paper hanging
business in this city will be a pass
enger for Douglas on the next boat
where he will in future reside, lie
having chosen a new line of en
deavor.
Last August Mr. Barnett bought
out the Orpheum theatre in the
town of Douglas, and as he had
contracts for much work in this
citv at the time, he has remained
here in order to finish up the work,
leaving the management of the mov
ie theatre to hired managers and
now he will go to tak$ personal
charge.
In speaking of the deal from a
financial standpoint, Mr. Barnett
states that even while the business
was conducted by employes it
has proven, a good paying invest
ment, and he thinks that under hia
personal care it will prove a bet
ter one.
A shipment of Stein-BlochI cloth
ing for men has just been received
