SALMON CREEK DAM
 CAUSES ACTIVITY

One of the greatest power dams in the country and the greatest piece of concrete construction in all Alaska IS rapidly approaching the formative stage in the upper basin of Salmon creek. This great work of the Alas ka.Gastineau Mining Company will probably be nearly completed if no entirely finished by fall, at the present rate of progress. The dam site is a very busy spot just now. A head of water has been secured 300 feet above the workings and hydraulic monitors are now cleaning of the de- bris and surface obstruction for the dam foundation. A compressor WIS recently installed and machine drills are pounding away in the blasting process of making foundation for the great concrete wall.
 Over a hundred men are engGdel here and this force will be increased as the work develops. Soon the great tower for pouring the cement will be erected. This structure will be 325 feet above the foundation of the dam. The gravel and sand washing plant is being established near at hand. The sand and gravel to be used lies in abundance in the valley close by.
 The Dam.
 The great impounding dam will be 625 feet in length on the crest; 1T feet thick on the base; 175 feet high. and feet thick on the top. The structure is of the constant radial arch type and looks for all the world like new moon. It will require sixty thousand barrels of cement and 5O,- 900 cubic yards of material to furn- ish the concrete entering into the big wall. The first shipment of cement will arrive in few days and it is ex- pected to commence pouring the con crete within the next five weeks.
 The dam has an elevation of 1,O1S feet above sea level and will, when completed form lake of water mile and three-quarters long, six hundred feet wide. and one hundred and seven ty.fve feet deep. Half mile in dis tance down stream the lower dam at the present time diverts and Hume picks the water from the creek and delivers it at the penstock two miles distant at a height of about four hun dred feet. Here it plunges over the blufr to the pelton wheels at the beach power station, the first unit in the pow CT system that has been planned.
 Transporting Materials.
 The materials entering into the con- struction of this great work with the exception of the sand and gravel are all brought in scows to Salmon creek and then hauled up the steep hill on the incline tram. Here a little toy engine which has been substituted for horses takes the cars over the miniature railroad to the point of ac' tivity. At the lower dam where the water is now taken for the present power station a stiff grade is encoun' tered and horses are still in use, but new engine arrived yesterday to re place the horses on this section. Near the lower dam a sawmil is kept busy all the time cutting lumber that is used in the construction work.
 A large force of men must neces sarily be employed in order to get the desired results and the supplies ne cessary to feed them must also be transported over the line. The to tai number of men employed on the Salmon creek development at the pres ent time is 200 but this force will prob ably be increased soon.

committee on the committees re-
turn to Chicago.
The committee questioned a
number of reformers, asking
what they believed the chief cause
of white slavery. The answer of
nearly all was the same.
"In ninety-nine cases out of
1O0," said Mrs. Josephine Schell,
superintendent of the New Flu
ture Association, $50 East Thir-
ty-seventh street, white slavery
is directly due to insufficient
wages. If a girl is paid only S.
or So or 81 a week, and has no
home, what is she going to do?
What can she do?
The Rev. Alice Phillips Aldrich,
of the Chicago Law and Order
League, followed Mrs. Schell and
tried to soften the effect of her di-
rect charge against wages.
-"The girls want to wear dia-
monds," she said. "They want to
dress like the daughters of-1nil-
lionaires."
But Virginia Brooks, of West
Hammond, Ind, was unhesitat-
ingin her answer.
Sometimes there is a loose
home atmosphere that has some
thing to do with it, she said.
"But low wages is the chief cause.
"The great book bindery of
Thomas B. Conkey is in Ham

more than 81 or SIS week"

women who had been the dupes of

resolution is the equivalent of
resolution fixing and determining
SIS, 100000 for the purchase of a
site and the erection of building
thereon on condition that particu-
lar site be secured It's theory is
that if it is conditional to fix an
amount provided a certain kind of
building can be secured for it, it is
just as conditional to fix an amount
provided certain site can be Sc
cured.
In this case, the Board of School
Estimate absolutely fixed and de-
termined the amount of money
necessary to carry out the objects
of the Board of Education and such
objects included the purchase of a
particular site. In the Montclair
case, the Board of School Estimate
did not, as the Court held, fix and
determine the amount necessary for
the objects expressed by the Board
of Education. In that case, the
Board of School Estimate, in effect,
said We fix and determine the
sum Of S175, 100000 on condition
that certain result can be accom-
plished.
In this case, the sum was fixed
absolutely as required by statute
and presumably the Board of School
Estimate, before fixing it, ascertain
ed that the amount of SIS, 100000
was adequate for the purchase of
the particular site and for the other
purposes expressed in the resolution
of the Board of Education.
We recommend that the decision
of the Commissioner be affirmed.

Decision Against City Council.
Continued from third page.

In this case the Common Council
evidently believed that it rested
within its discretion whether to ap-
propriate SIS, 100000 or not, for the
purchase of a site and the erection
thereon, of a school building, for
furnishing same and for repairs
to other school buildings. 1t did
not agree with the Board of Educat-
ion about the site selected by the
latter, and for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the wishes Of the people
it caused a ballot to be taken, which
had no binding effect, but which
was purely advisory. At such ballot
Alp votes were cast, 46 Of which
were in favor of the site selected by
the Board of Education, 353 in
favor of the site preferred by the
Common Council, while - were re-
jected.
Following this vote, the Common
Council refrained from appropriate
ing SIS, 900 90 requested by the
Board of Education, and fixed and
determined by the Board of School
Estimate. Proceedings were institut-
ed before the Commissioner, by the
Board of Education, to compel the
Common Council to raise the SIS,
600 90. In such proceedings the
Common Council offered to prove
that the site selected by the Board
of Education was not a proper site.
The Commissioner declined to re-
ceive the evidence, on the ground
that the Common Council had no
the discretionary rights or powers IN
matter; that its sole duty was to raise
the money, the amount of which
was fixed and determined by the
Board of School Estimate.
In the case of Montclair against
Baxter, AZ Vroom, 6S. the Court
in the course of its opinion, wrote
that when the Board of School EST
mate has fixed and determined the
amount of money necessary for the
purchase of land and the erection of
school house, the Common Council
notwithstanding the use of the word
may" in Section rs, has no dis

priation. While, in view of the
actual decision rendered, the langu-
age of the Court might be viewed
as mere expression Of opinion,
still it has been assumed since 1908
when it was written, to be the law
and to be binding upon Common
Councils.
In view Of this decision and of
the peculiar facts of this case, it
has been strongly urged that pro-
ceedings on the part of the Board
of Education and the Board of
School Estimate, for the purpose
of raising the money for the pur-
chase of land and the erection of
building thereon, must literally and
strictly comply with the Statute. In
short; counsel for the Common
Council herein contends that strict
rather than substantial compliance
with the Statute is necessary. We
cannot ignore the fact that Boards
of Education are not composed of
technical lawyers and, in the alb
sence of a decision of the Court, we
are unwilling to lay down rule
which would require a microscopical
analysis of proceedings for the rails
ing of money for school improve
ments. To US, seems sufficient if the
provisions of the Statute, fairly con-
strued, are complied with.
This case was very fully argued
before the Committee, and while
many points, chiefly of a technical
nature, were presented, special
stress was laid upon one. 1t was
urged that as the resolution of the
Board of Education and also of
the Board of School Estimate called
for the purchase of a particular
site, the Common Council was
justified in declining to appropriate
the money in view of the decision
in the case of the Board
of Education against Montcair, AZ
Vroom, SO. In that case, the re-
solution of the Board of School
Estimate fixed and determined the
amount of money necessary for the
erection of school house, at S175. !
100000 on condition that a school
building containing 20 units shall be
erected" The Court held that the
resolution by its very terms was con-
ditional upon certain kind of school |
building being erected. The Court |
therefore, held that resolution did |
not fix and determine the amount |
as required by Statute and that the |
Common Council was right in re-
refusing to appropriate the money.
In this case, the Common Council |
