Repeatedly Speed folded his arms
over his stomach, rocked in the throes
of anguish, and walled that he was

snorted with derision. When he re-

him, Glass fell upon him like a raging

TWO NEW BANKS
 TO BE ESTABLISHED

Two new banks for Gastineau chan nel towns, one at Douglas. the other in Juneau, are to be established al. most immediately according to an nouncemeuts made today. The stock holders of the First National Bank of Juneau are back of the movement and will control the new organizations.
 President T. F. Kennedy said that the idea in establishing the new f. nancial institutions was to promote the welfare of both communities. Douglas at the present time is with out a bank and the institution will certainly be great convenience to the people of that community. Ju- neau at the present time is entering a stage of development and growth that will require loans not available through the national bank system. The banks are designed to accOmmo- date the people requiring financial as- sistance in the matter of developing Juneau to it's best possibilities.
 A site has already been secured at Douglas for the bank to be located there and when the legislature has finished with the proposed banking bill so that bankers will understand the laws requirements steps will be taken to hasten the establishment of these institutions

He will take the Ala meda at Skagway for the Westward. While in Juneau Col. Richardson is the guest of Gov. Walter E. Clark at the Governors House. Col.

 We shall also do the work neces- sary for the maintenance of the road from Haines up the Chilkat"
 The special appropriation for road purposes in Alaska this year was $1OO.OOO from the Alaska fund. Some of this last named amount already has been used on bridge work, winter trail stalking and reconnaissance.
 The commission will, in addition to it's road work. expend the $55,OOO ap- propriated for the protection of Val dez from the glacier floods that have been an annoyance to that city.
 This afternoon Col Richardson has been in consultation with the roads and highways committees of the Sen- ate and the House of Representatives of the Alaska Legislature.

YUKON LABORERS
 FOR YUKON LABOR

If there is anyone in Yukon Terri. tory deserving the first opportunity to labor it is a man who lives in Yukon. The principle applies to the man be- hind the pick and the who who seeks government office. lt ap' plies to the man who tolls with his hands and the man who tolls with his brain. Men who remain here, spend their earnings here, and put in the best of their lives here could contri- bute no more literally toward the up- building of this region. The govern ment should be the first to recognize this.
 Yukon for the Yukoners means pro- lection to those who make the fu- kon. Canada, as whole, should be pleased to assist Yukon in this pol icy, because when Yukon prospers the Dominion gets her share. Production of wealth in this territory means in- creased gold shipments 10 Calada. The increased flow of that most GOV eted of all comodities into the nlarts of Canada in exchange for the neces. sities which this territory does not manufacture and which must be SC. cured elsewhere, should awaken Can. ada to the appreciation of Yukon as an asset.
 The matter of protecting Yukoners against alien or non-Yukon labor is to come before the council this ses- sion. This is one of the most time ly movements that could be made for the welfare of the country It is to be hoped the proposed inquiry will be carried through. and in no half-heart- ed manner-Dawson News.

.ELKS PLANNING
 FEATURE BALL

Juneau Elkdom is planning some thing extraordinary in the way of en- tertainment. It has been decided to give a feature ball. According to plans tentatively agreed upon the at tempt will be made to reproduce the days of '97-S.
 Juneau will for the nonce slip back to the days of dance halls and gamb' ling Elks Hall will be converted into fair representation of one of the ia nous resorts of the exciting days when the great stampede to the Yu kon was at it's height. Roulette wheels, faro layouts and other gamb ling paraphernalia will be installed and "phoney" money will be provided the guests at the rate of about one tc thousand, so that each guest car plunge his head off without coming tc serious grief. Whether the dance hal feature will be added is not yet clearly decided upon, but in the matter o dress the rule of appearing in "mush ing" clothes will be insisted upon. The old music hall favorites will be re produced by competent voices ant other features of the old days.
 It is planned to have the great en tertainment come off while the mem bers of the legislature are yet on tho ground. It is expected that the ex act date will be announced early nex week.

CLARK CONGRAT-
 ULATES STRONG

Governor Clark sent the following telegram of congratulations to Major J. F. A. Strong last evening"
 T offer you my heary congrat-
 ulations, and beg that you will
 inform me in due course of your
 wishes respecting your induction
 into office, so that I may assist in
 making arrangements for the prop
 CT ceremonies attendant upon the
 inauguration"
 In giving out this telegram today, Governor Clark said:
 "I am highly pleased by this ap- pointment, the more so because the new administration has so far contin- ued the policy first declared by MT. Taft of appointing to office in Alaska persons who are resident in the Ter ritory and familiar with it's conditions. In my own appointment the Presi- dent selected a man who had visited Nome and other parts of Alaska in the same year that Major Strong came to the Territory, but who did not es- tablish a residence anywhere in the Territory prior to 1909. l do not de- fend the eX-President for that. But, leaving the Goyernorship out of the question, President Taft appointed only one nonresident to any major office in Alaska subsequent to the pub lie announcement on June 24, 1910, of his general policy of making home appointments. So he anticipated the Democratic platform in this respect by two years. During his whole term Mir. Taft made seventeen major ap- pointments in the Territory, not in- cluding the govenorship-ofIices in each case carrying a salary of $4,OOO or over. Only two of thes appointees were nonresidents, with the exception of Judge Cushman, who was about as near being an Alaskan as any man not actually resident here at the time of his appointment we'll could be. Prior to March 4, 1909, the appoint, ment of resident Alaskans to import ant offices was almost unknown.
 "The Territory is to be congratu- lated on Major Strong's appointment not only because it is a good one in itself, but because it is consistent with the general policy established four years ago"
