GOOD FEELING
 PREVAILED ALWAYS

One of the feaures of the session of the Alaska Legislature that terminal, ed in Juneau this week was the har- mony that has existed among the members When the day adjournment came there was not the slightest ill- feeling nor a sore spot in evidence anywhere. There were differences of opinion at times, of course, as there always is where men meet to ccnsid CT matters of importance, but they were discussed by men that are big and broad, and none questioned the motives of those that disagreed with him.
 Speaking of this phase of the legis' lature yesterday, President L. V. Ray, of the Senate said:
 "The memories of Alaska's first legislature will always be pleasant to me and I believe they will be to all the members. There is and has been throughout the session the best of feeling among the members, and be- lieve that the session closed with ev- cry member the friend of every other member.
 "No body of men ever gave more conscientious service to a public trust that has been given by the Senators and Representatives of Alaska's first legislative assembly. I do not believe there was a single member that did not always do what his judgment and conscience told him was the proper thing to do, and do not believe there is member that does not feel that way about all the other members

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Although the anti-Japanese land laws in Cali fornia are more spectacular and more in the public eye, the revolutionary situation in Mexico is causing the new administration far more worry and concern that any other foreign situ- ation.
 If the Wilson administration is com pelled to intervene when the Huerta government fails, as it seems bound to do, the program of domestic re- form mapped out for it will be side tracked for the time being and the task which the President has made his goal may fail of being accom- plished. It is certain that war is the last thing that President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan want, but their brusque eradication of all dollar diplomacy in the foreign rela- lions of the United States is the first step in withdrawing the nation from all entangling alliances and complica- tions abroad.
 Mexico is again in revolutionary

REFERENDUM VOTE
 HAS BEEN CALLED

The school board appeared before the city council and was authorized to purchase the remainder of the block needed for the erection of the new school building. R. F. Lewis, head of the Juneau Water Company appeared before the city council last night and informed that body that his company would extend the new ten-inch main down as far as the Worthen lumber mills at once. The city clerk was in- structed to advertise for bids for 240,- GOO feet of lumber for street planking to repair and pave streets. The city council authorized a referendum elec- ton to decide the question of con- demning property for the straighten- ing street lines at the intersection of Front and Franklin streets.
 These are the main features that were decided upon at last nights council meeting. The proposition of buying the additional property for school purposes has been agitated for some time and the people are pretty well informed on that subject
 The news that the large water main is to be extended is confirmation of the plan outlined by eX-Mayor Mishop several months ago. The lumber or. dered for paving the streets would in dicate that planking is to be used ex- tensively for some time.
 The referendum vote on the propo- sition to condemn property for the strengthening street lines at Front and Franklin streets is proof that. the new administration is living up to it's declaration to submit questions of great importance to the people for rat ifcation before committing the city. This vote will decide the controversy between Mir. Valentine and the city over the disputed corner.
 There was some routine business transacted. The petition of c. K. For her for a franchise over the streets of Juneau for an electric car line, was laid on the table.
 A petition was received from Wire less Operator Miller to use a part of the land in the cemetery for garden ing purposes.
 The meeting adjourned to Friday evening, May 9.

SHOUT TO TAKE
 CHARGE OF BARRACKS

Representative Arthur c. Shoup, of Sitka, has been authorized by Gov. Walter E. Clark to receipt for the marine barracks at Sitka in the name of the Governor of Alaska. The re- ceipt will be given to the Navy De- partment which has turned them over to the Interior Department The latter department named the Governar of Alaska as the custodian of the prop erty.
 While the Governor of Alaska will take over the buildings at once, they will not be utilized as a home for in- digent miners and prospectors in Alaska until July 4th. On that day the law creating the home, for which the marine barracks have been turned over to the Governor of Alaska, will go into effect.
 There was method in my fixing the 4th of July as the day upon which the indigent miners bill should go in- to effect. l wanted the inauguration of the home to be a part of the Inde' pendence Day celebration. Of course, the Governor of Alaskas, as the head of the commission and the custod ian of the buildings, will have to be there, and we will make him the ora tor of the day. That will be big card in our program for the celebra tion that we propose to have"
 Mir. Shoup will take up the matter of preparing the marine barracks fol the new use to which they are to be put with Gov. J. F. A. Strong soon af ter the latter's arrival from Washing ton and his inauguration.

Situation Is
 Worrying Government

turmoil The Carranza insurrectos, who have taken it upon themselves to avenge Madero and the overthrow of the present government, have gained control of the northern part Of Mexico and are rapidly spreading their forces. Huerta has no strong grip on any part of the country save that surrounding the capital, and is de- pending mainly on his reputation Tor cruelty and ruthless action to sup press rebellion.
 As long as the United States with holds recognition from the Huerta gov ernment, Mexico cannot float much needed loan to enable her either to pay her troops or carry on other ex. pensive projects. The United States will not grant recognition until the coming elections are held.
 The last thing wished for by the state department at this time, however is the overthrow of the Huerta gov ernment since it will throw Mexico in- to state of anarchy and chaos, that would, it is believed, force the Unit. ed States to intervene.

 Down one end of the large hall a bar had been set up and sign an nounced that the Bucket of Blood ' sold drinks at $50 per glass, Each lady partner was promptly handed half of each purchase price to add toward her accumulations for the grand prize. Gentleman were prompt in handing over to lady partners the share that would have been hers if they went to the bar at such times when the usual promenade was not made.
 While the floor was crowded most of the time. the games seemed to have a distinct fascination for the fair ones. Betting like a road agent was in vogue. Jas. Barragar, who had charge of one roulette wheel, went broke, and some body asked if his tab was good for twenty thousand dollars-it was.
 Isa Goldstein. who had charge of an other wheel ran brace game, and slipped things over occasionally, if a cheechaco dropped hundred on a lucky number, Isa would pay all right even money and let it go at that, In this way enough currency could be secured to keep the doorman sup. piled who was called upon to give up to those who had gone broke and made entry on various and sundry occasions in order to get more money with which to buck" the games. Some of the boys made as many as ten trips through the portals in attempts to get enough coin to break the banks.
 Senator Breeding, of Nome, was logged out in fur parka and deer skin mukluks. He carried a large poke of "phony dust and bet the faro bank to a standstill but did not win at that
