President Wilson Will
 Be Invited to Alaska

The House held a very tumultous session this morning, The first storm came with the consideration of HOuoe Bill No. 14. by Boyle, providing that city councils could declare yacan- cy after 90 days continual absence from council meetings on the part of a member thereof and i'll such yacan- cies by election by the council. Ora tory rolled like mountain torrents against the measure but on final vote the bill was passed-9 to 4.
 The House then took up House Bill No. 77. by Driscon. a bill providing for an official ballot at all elections to be held in the Territory of Alaska. Speaker Collins called Col. Ingersoll, the representative from Hetchikan, to the chair as the House resolved into committee of the whole. The Clerk was instructed to read the bill by sections. but was immediately stopped by raising a point of order to the eff feet that it was against the rules. Motions began to pile up so fast that a dictagraph could hardly have record ed them-some were debatable ac- cording to the rules of deliberative bodies and some were not but a merry time was had in segregating the de batable from the mdebatable-how it will terminate is still debatable as the noon hour arrived before the tan gle was unwoyen.
 Invite President to Alaska.
 President Ray introduced a memor. ial .n the Senate this morning under suspension of the rules inviting Pres ident Wilson to visit Alaska, The Memorial was rushed through to fin al passage and transmitted to the House.
 Eisht.HOur Bill Agreed Upon.
 Representatives Ingram. Kelly and Kennedy were appointed on the con- ference committee to act with Sena- tors Willard. Tripp and Breeding in drafting a substitute for Senate Bill No. 1. by Roden, providing for an eight.hour day for men employed in mines. The committe has agreed up- on a bill which provides for a straight eight.hour day in quartz mines only. This bill il is conceded will pass both houses.
 For Territorial Treasurer
 The House late yesterday afternoon passed the Svindseth bill creating the office of Territorial Treasurer and the same was transmitted to the Senate. It is probable that minor amendments will be made but it is the concensus of opinion that the bill is remarkably we'll drawn and will meet with favor in the upper house.

OF a maple tree and winked a saucy
bright eye at Peter 1--WE got a secret
up here" he said.
Now there is nothing in the world
Peter Rabbit loves more than Sc
cret. But he cannot keep one to save
him. No, sir, Peter Rabbit can no
more keep a secret than he can fly.
He means to. His intentions are the
very best in the world, but
Alas Alack! Poor Peters tongue
Is very, very loosely hung.
And so, because he must talk and
VIII talk every chance he gets, he can
not keep a secret. People who talk
too much never can.
What is your secretr' asked Peter.

Tommy Tit looked down at Peter
and his sharp little eyes twinkled.
ITS nest with six Of the dearest
little babies in the world in it," he
replied.
