ALASKA HOME RULE
 BILL. PASSES SENATE

se aSthe St@s3 y
 Alaska Horne Rule bill fathered by Delegate James Wicker sI,am, and imperatively de- manded by the majority of AL askans today passed the Sen- ate with hardly a desentirg vote. Senator Wesley l.. Jones of Washington has snansorsd the bill in the Senate ard it is there known as the Jones Bill. The Bill passed the House April 2A by a unanimous vote. It provides for a legis- lature Of cne house with auth o9ity to enact local laws for ths benifit of the territory.
 I1he scene in the Senate when the bill came to an issue was an impressive one. It is tho one bill of the session that has engaged the attention of nearly every senator owing no doubt to the large amount of advertising that in the past year CT so has been accorded to Alaska. When the vote was taken the comparative scare ity of nays was a decided sur- prise to many. At one time it was feared that the bill would be killed in committee but those who are back Of it have not been idle.
 The Bill will become effect i've at once altho a conference will be necessary to adjust minor differences. The follow ing is a resume of the main features of the Bill.
 Section 5 provides that the legislative power of the Terri tory shall be vested in a legis- lative assembly consisting of a senate of eight members two from each of the four judicial divisions, and a house of repre- sentatiyes of 10 members. four from each of the four judical districts of the Territory. Al the first election One-half the members of each house shall be elected for two years, and ihe balance for four years, and in the future, one senator and two members of the lower house shal be elected bienni- ally, each holding office for i years.
 The qualifications for mem- bers of either house are that they shall be citizens of the U- nited States and who shall have been an actual perman- ent resident of the Territory at least two years prior to the time of election.
 The legislative assembly of Alaska shall convene at Juneau on the second Monday in Jan rary in the year nineteen hun dred and thirteen, and the sec ond Monday of every January thereafter, and shall continue in session not more than sixty oays in any two years.
 Legislative power of the Ter ful subjects of legislation not inconsistent with the Consti- tuition and laws of the United States locally applicable; but no law shall be passed inter- fering with the primary dis posal Of the soil; no tax shall be imposed upon the property of the United States, nor shall the lands or other property of nonresidents be taxed higher than the lands or other prop erly of residents; nor shall the legislature grant to any cor poration association, or in- dividual any special or ex- elusive privilege, immunity, or franchise without the aflrma- tive approval of Congress; nor

corporation therein, have power

sume any bonded indebted ness whatever; nor to borrow money in the name of the Ter ritory or of any municipal de- vision thereof; nor to pledge the faith of the people to the same for any loan whatever either directly or indirectly nor to create, nor to assume any indebtedness, except fo1 the actual running expenses thereof; and no such indebted ness for actual running eX- penses shall le created OF as- snmed in excess Of the actual income of the Territory or municipality fer that year, in- eluding as a part of such in- come appropriations then made by Congress and taxed then due and collectable.
 Each member of the legisla- ture shall be paid by the Uni ted States the sum of $I5.00 per day for each days atten- dance while the legislative as sembly is in session, and mil cage in addition at the rate ol l5 cents per mile from his home to the capital and returr by the nearest travelled route.
 No member of the legisla- ture shall during the tern foI which he is elected, be ap- pointed or elected to any office of the Territory of Alaska.
 No person holding office in, or under the government ol the United States ore the Ter ritory of Alaska shall be eligi- ble 10 election to the legisla- ture.
 The legislature may provide for the election of probate jud- ceS and of justices of the peace who shall be eX-OfficiO coron- CTS, and who shall have the civil, criminal and coroner's jul Iisdiction now conferred upoI commissioners.
 The President shall appoint Ia Treasurer of the Territory oI Alaska, who shall reside in the Territory, and preform any du- ties consistent with his office which may be imposed upon him by the legislature.
 The Governor of Alaska shall within 90 after the close of the Territory Legislature, trans init a copy of all the laws and joint resolutions passed by the legislature, certified by the chief clerk of each house and by the Secretary of the Terri tory with the seal of the Ter ritory attached to the Presi- den of the United States for presentation before Congress, and unless same are approved by Congress, they shall be null and void.
 No tax shall be leived for territorial purposes in excess of one per cent, per year, nor for municipal purposes in ex- cess of two per cent, a year three per cent in all.
 The above is an outline Of the Wickersham Bill as it ap- peared in the House. Tha Sen ate Bill has made several very radical changes, but the cxact rasure of those chlnge5 doc. not appear. It is thought by some that the present bill holds cut lille real Home Rule for the Territory.
 Later Report
 Washington, July 25-I2: p M.-The Alaska Home Rule bill provides that the legislature shall not be in session longer than sixty days in each two yers. It gives the governor

 The brand new ship "fIazel Roff' left for her first trip to- day. She was iaunched yester- day and has been navigating IeNperimentally around the bay. the largest locally made boat in this district. She was con- Istructed during the past four months by her master and own- CT Mathew Burkovich.
 She was. constructed at the yard just below Strongs Wharf between here and SaXman.
 The boat is 75 feet 6inches long; 16 feet 6inches wide and with an so horse power three cylinder Corliss engine and has Ia fish tank capacity of from 3o to 40 thousand fish. She car ries a crew of four men, a cap tain, a cook, an engineer and a deck hand.
 The boat will be used this season as capnery tender for the Canoe Pass Canning Co.
 The most interesting feature of the fact that this boat is a. float here lies in the fact that she was made entirely in Ketch ikan an demonstrates conclu- sively that it is not essential to go to the ship yards of Pu- get Sound or any other place to get a first class boat built.
 Capt. Burkovich is well satis- fled with the workings of the craft thus far and after an op- pdrtnnlIy to try her out a little more lhrOughly he intends to put on the finishing touches.
 There is a great deal of un- certainty about the strike situ- alton on both sides. It appears in their protractcd meeting vo- ted by a very small majority to accept the prices offered : the cannerymen on condition that they in turn would recog- nize the Union. Accordingly the necessary papers were sent to the cannerymcn who did not see their way clear to sign them. The old executive board of the Union has in the handl- ing of the situation incurred the displeasure of the rank and file and has been displaced and a new one elected in it's place The natives who make up a. bout two thirds of the union are. not entirely in sympathy with the attitude of the rest. On the new Executive Board are four natives and three white men. Only one of the old board being reelected.
