A Washington dispatch asserts
Senator Owen of Oklahoma, new
chairman OF the banking committee
IN the Senate, has changed his mind
about guaranty of bank deposits.
once an advocate of a federal law to
require every bank to guarantee each

the conclusion that this should be
done by state laws, if at all. The
failure of the law in Oklahoma. after
a practical trial OF it, is perhaps best
shown by the changed attitude of

Republican has been in fun sympathv
with the purpose of those who de-
sire guaranty of bank deposits.

HOPE
 FOR PEACE

MEXICO CITY, Feb 26.--The hope of peace being established is slight, The rebel activity in Northern Mex ico is unceasing. The opposition to Huerta's government is said to be receiving accessions to its ranks daily. In Southern Mexico the governments efforts to enter into arrangements for peace with the Zapatistas have ended in failure.
 In Mexico City, while to all outward appearances, there are peaceful con- ditions, there is a strong under cur rent against President Huerta's ad' ministration, which is being encour' aged by the adherents of the late President Madero.

JUDGE WICKERSHAM
 COMING TO JUNEAU

SEATTLE, Feb. 26.-Delegate Jas. Wickersham arrived here last night and will sail for Juneau on Saturday, where he will assist in putting the leg islature on the right track.
 Judge Wickersham stated that funds to defray the expenses of this session of the Alaska Legislature were already available. He also says that the bill now in Congress permitting coal land claimants to take their cases into federal courts will probably be de- feated.
 In the opinion of the Delegate, this Congress will take no action in rail roads for Alaska. He said he had pre- pared bill which he will introduce upon his return to Washington, giv' ing President Wilson the money and the power to build railroads in Alas ka without restriction.
 "As to the point for beginning the line," he said, "the bill will authorize the employment of men to determine the proper location of the line. The trouble in the past has been the claim of different ports on the Alaska coast that route from their particular port was superior to all others"

Plans have been completed for a very important change in the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company's plant in Juneau. In order to put these plans into effect Judge J. F. Malony and Manager Margerie will leave for San Francisco or the Mariposa.
 The plans as outlined contemplate the installation of steam turbine en- zines for the winter service, when the water is slack. In addition to this there will be two 6OO-horse power gen. orators connected with the shaft of the water wheel to be used when there is water available for that pur- pose.
 This will give a duplicate plant, thus obviating the distress and annoyance occasioned by temporary break downs and provide for continuous and unin- terrupted service.

The Commercial Club held a rous- ing meeting last night Everybody was interested in the proceedings and nearly everybody had something to say. The report of the committee at previous meeting to confer with the school board with reference to the matter of erecting a new school build ing reported through it's chairman H.. P. Crowther

 The sentiment was in favor of the project without exception. Practical ly the only difference in opinion was as to the amount to be raised and eX. pended. J. F. Malony moved to in- crease the amount from $lO.0OO as sug- gested in the report to S15.OOO Har- " Fisher of the school board, moved to amend by increasing the sum to S25.OOO. The larger sum was finally selected as the amount to be raised by stock subscription and the same committee with the addition of Dave Epsteyn was continued in power to go about and get the stock subscribed,

ity and provide for the great growth that is now imminent It is not likely that further extensions will be neces. sary within a period of five years.
 It will be necessary, of course, to rebuild the power house to accom- modate the new machinery and there will also be some changes in the pole lines. The Gold creek Hume will be largely rebuilt and placed in excel lent repair. The plans call for a to- tai expenditure of $75,OOO and when completed will make this the best electric power and lighting plant on the Alaska Pacific coast. It is ex- pected that the company will be in position to furnish power for manu- featuring and other purposes as soon as the changes are made.
 The machinery will be shipped as soon as Judge Malony and Mir. Mar gerie arrive in San Francisco and work will be started on the contem. plated changes on the return of Mir. Margarie which will be within week or two.

ing Juneau to bond the city for school purposes and to pass measure giy' ing the city power to pass an ordi' nance providing for the collection of taxes without going to Law.
 During the debates on the school problem speakers would occasionally drift away from the subject in hand and talk on the recent action of the city council which caused to be in- troduced an ordinance providing that the burdens of building and main taining streets should be taxed to the abutting property and no5 come from the general fund. This brought ont the fact that owners of business property opposed the measure while those who did not own business prop erty were heartily in favor of it. Coucilman Miller took occasion to say q few words in behalf of the action of the council in this respect
 F. Wolland moved that committee be appointed to arrange for smoker in honor of the members of the Alas ka Legislature as soon as they bao all arrived. Many remarks were made on this subject. J. F. MaloDy and En.' cry Valentine wanted to make it a banouet. The prevailing sentiment was for a smoker now and banquet later.
