The revenue cutter Unalga, last heard from at Alden, Arabia, is ex- pccted to reach Juneau about April i, and this fact has caused some dis
 cussion as to accommodations for berthing the vessel here.
 A well known citizen said today that the stationing of the Unalga at this point would mean disbursement of from $5,OOO to $6,OOO per month all the year round, and he pointed out that it is highly essential that the mat ter of securing a berth for the vessel be taken up at this time. If berth ing accommodations are not provided here the Unalga may make her head quarters at Sitka, where there is a government dock, or at Ketchikan. An expenditure of sixty or seventy thousand dollars a year is not to be overlooked.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH UNALGA

It was also pointed out that when the revenue cutter Rush was located here there was a monthly disburse- ment of about $S,OOO, but in the case of the Unalga, being a much larger vessel the amount will be practically doubled. The Rush was berthed at the Peoples dock, while stationed here, and that dock was too small for the ship and the Unalga will need a more commodious berth. The Ju- neau man thinks that the matter is of sufficient importance for some i'm mediate action to be taken.
 Capt. B. NJ. Chiswell, now of the cutter Tahoma, and formerly in com mand of the Rush, will have command of the Unalga, when she arrives, re- lieving Capt Crisp, who is bringing her to this coast.

JURY DISAGREES;;
 IS DISCHARGED

The jury failed to reach verdict in the transportation" case and was dis charged this morning by Judge Over field.
 The case went to the jury at 6:3O Saturday night and after midnight it became apparent that verdict was doubtful. Yesterday they reported that they were unable to agree but Judge Overfield sent them back for further deliberations.
 This morning Foreman L. T.. Merry announced that they had worked con scientiously to arrive at verdict but that it was found to be impossible to reach an agreement.
 The court on hearing the report dismissed the jury from further con sideration of the case.
 The case has not been set for a new trial as yet
 There are various stories told as to how the jury stood. One to the ef- feet that they were eight for convic- tion and four for acQuittal; another that nine were for acquittal and 3 for conviction; still another story is that the jury was grouped in it's opin, ions-some wanting to acQuit one de, tendant and convict another. The opinions were so varied and set that an agreement was impossible.
 District Attorney Rustgard thinks the instructions to the jury being fay orarle to the defense caused the dis agreement. Attorneys for the de fense think that the instructions fav orable to the prosecution brough about the failure to get verdict. The average layman attending the tria thinks that there never was a possi bility of an agreement in case SC complicated as this turned out to be The fact that the jury at one stage of the trial called for reading of tho indictment because they had los track of whom or what was on trial demonstrates that there was mucl doubt. That there should be a differ ence of opinion in the general sum ming up is no surprise to many.

and I am we'll pleased with the re- suits"
 The generator moves smoothly and the transmission cable handles the current in good shape Mir. Thane says that he is much pleased with the work of Mir. Pullen, the company's chief electrician and that he is to re. main in charge of the operative force.
 Salmon creek will have busy seas on next year and this division of the company's development project will be in charge of John Wilcox, of the present engineering corps. Mir. Harry Wollenberg will continue to be chief engineer. The big dam project has called for a great deal of investigation and research. Some of the ablest en- gineering firms in the country have been consulted and have had their men on the ground. F. c. Baum, of the firm of Baum & Wise, San Fran cisco. has been retained as consult ing engineer. Mir. Wollenberg's plans were submitted to these authorities and passed upon with not single change being suggested. In the mat ter of computing the construction work there has not been a variation of more than 2,OOO yards over the estimates furnished by Wollenberg, which is a very close margin on a work of this magnitude. The plans are now complete for the great dam and work will start in the early spring.
 The party attending yesterdays in spection of the new power station and the initial performance of the new machinery. consisted of General Man ager B. L. Thane and Mrs. Thane, Mir. and Mrs. Jas. R.

The formal opening of the Alaska Gastineau Company's Salmon creek power station took place yesterday, but as a matter of fact, ever since six o'clock Saturday night, 800 horse power of electrical energy has been racing over the transmission wires from the generators at the station to the motors at the Perseverance mine. The men have been working night and day in order to hasten the install latiou of the machinery and to get it in practical working condition. Sey- eraI days ago, as announced in The Empire. the water was turned on and the pipe and fumes cleaned out, since which time the machinery has been getting in condition to stand ac- tual work. Saturday night everything seemed to be all right, therefore the new energy was given a load to carry and it has been carrying it success fully ever since.
 This. however. is but the first unit that is to be established in the same power house and it is only turning out at the present time one eighth of capacity of the generator. When complete this power station will have two generators with a combined ca pacity of 4.OOO h. D. Another power station at the upper dam will gener- ate 2,OOO additional horse power.
 General Manager B. L. Thane says that through the untiring efforts of the men. engineers and mechanics, power has been delivered to Super intendent Jackson at the Perseyer- ance mine ten days earlier than had been hoped for. and that he feels very grateful toward all of them"
 We are now getting enough power to carry the load of one air compress sor." said Mir. Thane, but Mir. Jack son is calling for more and needs it to complete the work on time. The power we are getting now is all We had hoped for under the circumstances

Another for THE unceasing Ia

was the vision Of the coming genera

the great amount OF good they could

toward the goal they sought.
With one view in mind, and that
victory, the women set out to con
