 Representative Ingersoll thinks that the bill introduced by the mehiDer from Ketchikan giving power to hiu- nicipalities to extend their boundar- ies and annex additional territory IS the most important legislation enact ed at this session.
 Senator Ray, president of the Sen ate. believes that the mining law IS the most important legislative act nassed at the first session of the leg islature of Alaska. Next in import ance he regards the bill providing

 Dr. Krulish's telegram conveyed the information that there have been two deaths of natives at Nulato from diph- theria and that there are other cases among them. As far as known there has been no case reported of white person.
 A remarkable feature in connection with the bills vetoed by the Governor was the fact that all of the bills were unanimously passed by both houses oi the Legislature before they were sent to the Governor, and the Governors vetoes were sustained by the unani' nous action of both houses.

COL. INGERSOLL
 ON FISHERMEN

In discussing the revenue bill Col. lngersoll made strenuous fight to prevent the levying of tax on fish ing vessels under 90 tons. In the course of his remarks the Representa- tive from Ketchikan said:
 "I raise my voice in behalf of the fishermen, who are the backbone and the life blood of my section of the country. Heaven knows that their life is a precarious one and they are eking out scanty existence as it is, with out putting any more burdens upon them. It is no more within the bounds of reason to tax boat by which the fisherman carries on his occupation than it is to tax the miner for the shovel or the pick owned by him and used in developing his claim.
 'I realize that Southeastern Alas ka is hopelessly outnumbered and the members from the Interior can do as they will This has been brought home forcibly to me all through the term, and no member of this House can deny that l have cheerfully submitted to the inevitable and have been a pa tient and cheerful loser. But now when you are striking this vicious blow at the hardy race upon whose in dustry and labor depend the prosper ity and life of my section, patience ceases to be virtue and for the first time my gorge boils over."

OLNEY SAYS U. $.
 CAN FIX RATES

WASHINGTON, April 25. - The United States, as owner of the Pan- anna Canal, has the right to fix such terms as it pleases, and the neutral ity of the waterway applies to it's users only and not the United States. This was the view expressed today by Richard Olney, a former secretary, or state, whose speech was read before a meeting of the American Society Of International law. Mir. Olney did not attend.
 "It is clear" Mir. Olney's speech de- clared, that nation or a State does not convey away it's property or soV' ereignity except by terms that are clear and susceptible of no other mean ing; and that where the meaning can be taken to favor the United States, it is the clear right of the United States to urge that it be held that the words all nations do not mean to include the United States.
 However, it is not necessary to rely on this presumption, as the United States is owner and can fix terms as it pleases."
 Lewis Nixon, of New York, agreed with Mir. Olney that the ownership ot the Panama Canal gave to the United States the right to make such rules as it saw fit and that such rules eX cluded this country from the provis ions of existing treaties regarding "al nations"

Gov. Clark VetOeS
 Four of the Bills

Gov. Walter E. Clark vetoed four bills that were passed by the Alaska Legislature. They were Representa- tive N. J. Svindseth's anti-alien fisher. mans bill, Sen. H. T. Tripp's mining bureau bill, and Representative F. NJ. Eoyle's bills giving municipalities the power to regulate wharves and wharf. age rates and giving them power to own and operate water works and oth- "r public utilities.
 The Governor assigned as his reas. ,. for vctoing the antialiCn fisher. mans bill that it would interfere with the duties of the National government T its relations with foreign countries.
 The mining bureau bill, which was q blue sky" law designed to give ac- curate information with reference to r:ning properties and to prevent the promotion of wildcat" companies. Was vetoed on the ground that it was inGuistorial in it's character, and would require mining operators to give information that is essentially private in it's character.
 The veto of the wharfage bill was based on the Governors conclusion that it repealed parts of the munich pal incorporation act that should re- main in force; and that of the munic ipal public utilities bill was based on the assumption that it involved auth ority to create an indebtedness and tc issue bonds by municipalities, power to do which has been specially denied municipalities by the federal statutes

CANADIAN LINE

The Canadian telegraph line went down this afternoon south of white horse and the telegraph service with the States was interrupted. The late press dispatches that The Empire has under way are hung up some place along the line between Whitehorse and Ashcroft.
 The service that has been rem dered by the long route around by way of British Columbia and Yukon Ter ritory has been vexatious and unsatis- factory in a very great degree. The service is frequently interrupted and it is very slow when the line is work ing at it's best.

WITH MILITARY PRECISION.

1t should give the American peo-
pie a great sense of satisfaction to
know that there is one government
and that the greatest
of them all thar is to be completed
on time-and, indeed, ahead of time.
Some time ago, Colonel Goethals
set the date of January 1, 1915, for
the completion and formal opening
of the Panama canal. But he will
have it completed and in good run.
ming order before that.
Yesterday marked another epoch
waterway. Separating the Pacific
ocean from the Miraflores locks a,
the Panama end of the canal has
been ahuge dam or dixie. It was left
for the purpose of keeping the water
OF the ocean out of the canal dur
ing the process of making the chan
mel and the locks at that end of the
construction.
1t took '25 tons of dynamite to
make the breach, but SO effectively
were the charges planted that the
destruction of the dam was complete.
ihe water from the Pacific, as the
tide rose, flowed through and across
where the dam had been standing
and reached the first of the great
locks at the Pacific side. All that
remains to be done is to clean up
the channel by means of dredges and
this will speedily be done.
The canal is fact approaching
completion. Some work remains to
be done at the Atlantic end, which
will permit the water of that ocean
to reach to the Gatun locks. The
one remaining barrier after that is
at Culebra cut. Across this cut
has been thrown dixie on which a
railway runs and which keeps the
waters at Gatun lake from entering
the great cut. AS soon as the en-
gineers' figures show that the Guile
bra cut has reached the proper
depth, which will be very shortly
now, this dixie also will be blown up
and the waters of the great central
lake, Gatun, will be permitted to
flow into and to fill Culebra cut to
the required depth.
All this will be done and COM
pleted long before the date of for
NAL opening. 1t would not be at all
surprising to find ships passing
through this great waterway by jan
uary next, or a full year before the
date OF formal opening. 1t will be
great triumph of energy and skill
and ceaseless planning Colorado
