 Smoker Big Success

not to be wondered at because even Alaskans do not know all that is go- ing on in the territory. He did not know before arriving in Juneau that four big companies were spending millions in the installation of quartz reduction plants and in developing mines that would make Juneau the greatest mining town in the world. He said that Valdez and other sections re- joiced in this and that they looked for ward to a greater measure of pros perity for their own section when the general government built roads to make the store of wealth accessible.

He is attorney for the Guggenheims at the present time: he is also as a legislator attor- ney for the man who works with a pick and shovel in his district His efforts would be directed to do justly by both clients. The other day Gug- genheim man passed through here and remarked that the eight-hour law would raise the devil with them.' "We will pass it just the same" said Roden.
 Representative Frank A. Aldrich, of Nome, was the last speaker of the evening. His speech was an eloquent tribute to the pioneer.

He told of their early attempts at legislation and the success that re- suited from laws made and enforced through the action of miners meet ings.

The Juneau Commercial Clubs smoker last night, in honor of Alas ka's First Legislative Assembly, was a decided success, despite the fact that is was delayed because of the difficulty encountered in securing quar- ters in which to hold the entertain ment. The public recognition that members of the Legislature, though somewhat belated, was nevertheless sincere and served as the occasion of d happy gathering.
 J. B. Marshall, as toastmaster, did not allow a dull moment during the entire evening. He said that the eve, ming should be pleasantly spent for there were enough Irish members among the Legislative Assembly to provide the humor for the occasion.
 Mir. John Hellenthal was then intro duced. He prefaced his remarks by the statement that the toastmaster had praised the Irish and called on the Dutch. Mir. Henenthaps speech was optimistic in tone. He admon' ished the Legislature to be careful but progressive, and painted a pleas, ant future once the government re- strictions were removed and the pub lie domain was allowed to be settled up.
 Next a toast was drunk to the health of the trail blazer and pathfinder, Jack Dalton,

FINE NEW HOTEL
 BUILDING AT ONCE

The Juneau Construction Company has finished plans for the splendid new hotel building to be erected by James McCloskey. John McCloskey, Jules B. Caro and Charles E. Hooaer for P. J. Gemmett on their Franklin street property near Front street.
 The location is one of the most fay orable hotel sites in the city and it has been determined to spare no expense in making of this a first class hotel in every respect
 The building is to be 46X95, and will be three stories in height, with con- crete face. There will be two con- crete retaining walls, a cement base ment extending out under the side walk. which will be of cement support ed by steel girders.
 The street floor will provide lobby, buffet. dining room, and kitchen, all of which will be constructed and fin ished according to the modern con- ception of buildings.
 The two upper floors will contain 46 rooms, finished in an up-to-date manner. each room containing both hot and cold running water. Many of the suites will be provided with pri vate baths. Work will start on the building within the next three or fouI days and will be rushed through tc completion within the next sixty days The building will cost $2O,OOO.
 It will probably cost Mir. Gemmett another s2O.OOO to furnish the build ing and it is his idea to conduct g first class hotel on the premises. Mir Gemmett has a ten-year lease on the building and will call the place the Hotel Alaska.

WOULD LEAVE ROUTE
 TO PRES. WILSON

Delegate James Wickersham will in- troduce a bill in the present Congress leaving the decision as to the routes of the proposed government railroads from the Alaska coast to the Interior and all the negotiations with refer ence thereto to President Woodrow Wilson. The bill will carry provis- ion for the funds deemed necessary for the construction of the roads by the Alaska Railroad Commission and leave all the rest to the President. Senator George E. Chamberlain, it is said, will introduce the same bill in the Senate, and it is understood that all those in Washington that are in- terested in the legislation will give their support to the measure.
 The plan to finance the roads will probably carry a provision for a bond issue of $35,OO0,OO0 worth of 3 per cent bonds authorized for the construc- tion of the road, put IL IS proposed that this large bond issue shall be en- tirely redeemed through fund to be created by setting aside 50 per cent of the proceeds derived from the sale of timber, mineral and other public lands in Alaska, and the net earnings from the railroad itself, after the year ly interest on the bonds has been paid. It is believed that this redemption scheme, which makes it not neces- sary for Congress to make an out right appropriation for the Alaska railroads, will gain many friends for the project in Democratic circles.

Here surge the ceaseless caravans;
Here throbs the city's heart
And down the street each takes his
way
To play his little part.
The tides of life flow on, flow on,
And Laughter meets Despair;
heart might break along Broad
l wonder who would carel
THE LOVE OF A MAN.
The foam on the crest Of a billow,
The head on a brimming glass;
The south winds kiss, and its
whispering sigh
The throb of a heart, the flash of
an eye;
Mans love-and it's sure to pass.
THE LOVE OF A MAID.
The hush of the waiting morning
The night birds tremulous call.
The voice that sobs from the yearn-
ing deep,
The soul awakened that may not
sleep,
A love that endures through all
