-April 14- He arrived at [illegible] early this morning and got to Juneau about noon. It is pretty cold here and snow drifts are still to be found in the streets and icebergs in the harbor. The men at the Treadwell mines are still on a strike but no violence seems to be resorted to. -April 15- Spent most of the day in buying supplies and getting our things together. There was a snow storm on the mountains last night and the trees were covered making them prettier than Christmas trees. I went over to the Capital Building this morning. It is quite a nice building and is placed right on top of a rocky hill which was blasted off in order to make room for it. It is also a magnificent old bald eagle flying about over his harnit back of the town.
