1 be held at Denver, next month, at a
meeting of the local federal em
ployees held Saturday evening last
at Elks' Hall. Mr. Whittier plans to
leave Juneau about August 2S.
I Beside representing the local or
ganization of federal employees Mr.
| Whittier will speak before the coil
| vention for the adoption of a reso
! lotion for differential in favor of the
! Alaska federal employees. The chief
treasons in favor of the adoption of
j this measure, as given by the offl
i cers of the local organization, is on
! account of the general condition of
I living in Alaska being more expen
sive than in the states, which In
cludes the higher cost of living In
Alaska, the increased cost of edu
cating children in academic work]
higher than that of htgh school aud
the higher cost of transportation for J
travel, especially in Its effect on an-,
! nual vacation trips.
OLD-TIMER BACK IN
JUNEAU ON VISIT; IS
PLEASED WITH CITY
i J. Tonner. oldtimer of this section,
1 who lived here eight years ami part
! of that time operator of the big
derrick on the hill at Thane, for the
i Alaska-Clastineau Company, arrived
on the Admiral Rogers from Prince
I Rupert for a visit of perhaps a week
or ten days. The last time Tonner
was in Juneau was in 1911) ami today
he said that lie will return south with
the firm conviction that those who
have been saying Juneau Is not a
busy town, prosperous and still a
growing, are only knockers.
“I find that Juneau is most live
ly,” said Tonner when he made
a call at the Empire office this morn
ing.” Everybody seems prosperous
and everybody is working. In Prince
Rupert, where I am located, there
have been stories circulated that
Juneau was slipping. 1 fail to see
any slip except that she is slipping
in all directions spreading out with
increasing population. I also find
that many of my former friends art
raising large families and was es
pecially pleased to meet on the
steamer J. F. Mullen, wife and chll
dren." I
Tonnert formerly hail operated “The
Fishermen’s Mug Up” at Prince Ru
pert, but now controls the MacDon
aid cannery, which puts up the
famous 1’earl Brand of crabs uni]
shrimps.
