 At Salmon Creek.
 In the Salmon creek division, the wharves, railroad and complete trans portation system from the tide-water to the dam site, distance of four miles. has been built and is in opera tion. The first power unit has been erected and is running, furnishing pow CT to Perseverance mine. The foun' dations for the dap are about finished; the cement mixing plant, gravel wash ing plant and necessary equipment for the construction of this dam are com plete, so that pouring of the concrete in the dam will be started not later than July 2Oth.
 When finished, the dam will com prise some 6O,OOO yeards of concrete and require upwards of l5,OOO tons Of cement. The latter is transported by ships from Seattle and thence by barges and railroad to the dam site
 All of the power lines, etc, have been finished and the electric power from this development is in use both in the Perseverance and Sheep creek divisions.
 The Alaska. Gastineau, during it's construction and preliminary operat. ing period is now employing over 1000 men and when in operation, for the first unit will employ between 1900 and l5OO men.
 In this general development pro- gram and in the equipment of these properties the best individual skill and expert knowledge in their respective departments in the mining field of fees of the United States has been brought to bear, it being the intention of the operators to make this equip ment absolutely scientific and first class in every department. The same is true of the Alaska,Juneau proper. ties and the development program con templated for this group is practically the same as that for the Alaska Gas. tineau.
 Safe and Certain.
 A point of interest to the casual ob' server and student of industries may be mentioned here, viz:
 That whereas certain types of min ing are highly speculative and pro- ductive of distrust, that the character and type of mining and milling in this district is quite the reverse. The de- posits are commercial in character, their nature and value absolutely de- termined, and no point in the whole scheme uncertain. For this reason they not alone afford an ideal and safe investment but also one which will continue for upwards of one hundred years from the present measured ore bodies. At the same time, this char acter of enterprise creates an ideal condition for the merchant and labor CT. assuring the laboring man of con

Poster All of EN-

It's a terrible hard job to be Con-
gresham these days, according to
plants that are resoundins throughout

lators' trouble is the suffragists and
the anti-suffragists' controversy.
All members have been invited to
march with the votes for women advo-
Gates on March 8; all have likewise been
quietly informed by the antis that
close watch will be kept on their suf-
rage activity. The situation doesn't
bother membes from equal suffrage

Commonwealths a lot of trouble to de-
eide which camp they shall favor.
The Anti-suffragists are conducting a

ANTI GAMBLING BILL TO
ELICIT WARM fight

Little Rock, March Cit is expect
ed that one Of the warmest fights of
the session will come up in the house
Friday morning at 10 o'clock, when
senate bill No. 80, by Senator White,
the anti-gambling bill, will be taken
up as a special order. The lines of
opposition and defense were indicat-
ed Wednesday forenoon in sparring
over the adoption of amendments pro-
posed by Representatives Sawyer and
Westcott of Garland county. They
contend that the bill, unamended, if
passed, will brand as felons persons
who are innocent of any wrong-doing.
Another amendment they sought to
have adopted, but which was rejected,
sought to punish any one "who shall
bet any money or any valuable thing
on any game of chance, luck or skill,
including poker, bridge, whist, dice,
slot machines, Or punching boards. y
The friends of the bill contended not
so much against the amendments as
against anything that would delay its
passage, as the legislature must adj
journ one week from today.
