OPPORTUNITY FOR SEWARD.
George F. Forrest, one of the most successful business
men of the Gastineau Channel regions, located at Juneau,
gives a tip to Seward, that should prove of worth. Mr.
Forrest believes that Seward, with proper energy, can be
come the fishing center of this region. “As the center of
he fishing industry." says Mr. Forrest. “Seward, by hav
i tg a fishing supply station here, can attract the majority
o ' tiie scores of fishing boats operating within a radius of
10 miles. Seward has the harbor and every facility for
'“■coming The center of this growing industry. Juneau
made a great move for the business, secured it and now
•he fishing industry is one of the main arteries of its com
mercial life. During my present visit to this section and
city. I am convinced that if the commercial organizations
and business men act quickly and intelligently, Seward
will ho the center of the fishing industry for this part of
Alaska.”

soon for Seward had the winds in March all right.

GAS SUPPLIED
TO TROOPS AT
CAMP KEARNY
CAMP KKARNY, San Diego. Cuh,
\prj| — The traditional camp
.ire has no place in Camp Kearny,
where the “Sunshine Division” is pre
paring for its work abroad. “Cook
with Mas” is the motto in the fcitehens
and “heat with gas” • might be the
motto in the ollices and asembly places
which requite heat. Gas ranges are
in use wherever there is need, except
in a few minor ones, wnere electric
beaters are used.
The gas comes from the San Diego
municipal supply, being piped to the
vamp. Similarly modern arrange
ments prevail as to electric light,
there being wires and electric fixtures
in every building and tent where
there is a peimanent light source.
Some of the .stable warehouses, am’
so forth are equipped with lighting
facilities.
The Camp water supply is the same
as that in San Diego, being drawn
Irom the city mains and raised by a
series of booster stations” to the lcvel
of the high plain on which the camp
i< situated. Each station has its elec
tric motor and results* sanitary offic
ers at the camp say, have been very
satisfactory, as an ample supply of
pure water has been available at all
times. A reservoir of 1,700,000 gal
lon capacity, located on high ground
near the camp, provides a reserve
supply in case of emergencies, such
as failure of a motor at one of the
“boost stations”. It has not been nec
essary to draw upon this reserve sup
ply in any great degree since the wa
ter s\>tom was completed.

WIN THE WAR
IS SLOGAN OF
BODY OF MEN
DETROIT, Mich., April 8. — The
World’s Salesmanship Congress will
hold its third annual convention in De
1 roit from April 24 to 2 and the key
note of the gathering will be--win the
war.” The congress comprises the
rales managers and business directors
» f almost every great industrial and
commercial enterprise in the United
States. Instead of meeting here in
mid summer, its usual convention time t
the congress decided on t spoing con
vention so that interchange of ideas !
and suggestion should be effected as
ijuickly as possible.
Virtually every speaker at the con
gress will discuss a war topic. “F^usi
i ess and War,” or ‘‘The W »r and Ueo
iness” will be the basis for addresses
upon a variety of salesmanship prob
lems.
)n past years many salesmanship
clubs, which are affiliated with the
congress, met with the national or- ■
'••anization, and held departmental
meetings. This olan has been aban
doned for the present. The coming
convention will be for the heads or
autho-i''« d represent;.tiv*M < f bus ncos .
concerns which are members of the ;
congress and each session will be a
general one.
Herbert N. Casson, of London, Eng
land, a magazine publisher, is to make
the leading address at the opening of
the congress. Mr. Casson is to discuss
the problems which confronted b.isi-:
ness in England at the outbreak of
the war and is expected to point out
how British business men adjusted
their industries and organizations to ,
meet war conditions.
An official list of topics which are
to bo discussed at the congress in
dudes the following:
“ i’o win the war, can the nation do j
without the individual business man? j
“Must the war be waged entirely
en present savings, not earnings?
What businesses are non-essential ? j
“Is enough consideration being giv
en to the difficulty of starting up a
business that has been shut down?
“Is enough consideration being giv-!
en to the fact that we are preparing
for a temporary and not a permanent
war? 41
“Is so-called American extrava
f gance a national asset or liability?
Does the collapse of the rail
roads argue the possibility of na
tional industrial paralysis?”

| GULF STREAM IS ON
RAMPAGE; CLIMATE OF
EUROPE BEING CHANGED j
PARIS, April 3. — Reports that the
gulf stream has gone on the rampage (
has again set scientists speculating
upon the effect such a change would
have upon the climate of western
, Europe. The news is said to come 1
this time from the captains of military
transports. The Oceanographic Insti
tute has no knowledge of a deviation
of the gulf current but is unable to
, either confirm or deny the report since i
i its researches have been interrupted ,
! since the beginning of the war.
