BOAT OWNERS TO
 HAVE ORGANIZATION

The motor boat owners of Juneau are planning to organize an associa- tion, and will meet for that purpose to- morrow evening at s o'clock at the of fee of Judge Grover c. Vim, room s, Mallory building. Every owner of a motor boat is requested to be at the meeting.
 It is estimated that there are 50 or SO owners of motor boats at Juneau. and those who favor the formation of an association among them believe that many things to the mutual advan- tage of all the owners can be accom- plished through an organization.
 One of the reasons for the immed- late formation of the organization is that there may be satisfactory particl. patton in the Fourth of July celebra- tion. The Fourth of July committee allowed $75 in prizes for a motor boat race, and when owners casting up dis covered that there would be not less than 40 boats eligible for the race, 1t was decided that there should be more than one race. It is also desired that be made to decorate the little craft and add a water parade to the festivities of the day.

SETTLING QUARREL
 AT METLAKAhTLA

The trouble between Father William Duncan and the native Indians at Met lakahtla over the ownership of the village water system is gradually be- ing cle ared up. The matter has been up before two of the Federal De partments. Saturday w. G. Beattie, superintendent of Indian schools for Southeastern Alaska, who Is now in Metlakahtla, cabled to Juneau that the water system had again been restored and was in use by the people of that community.
 Father Duncan claims that the wa. ter system is his own private property, while the native Indians claim that it is the property of the community. Prior to the advent of Superintendent Beattie at Metlakahtla Father Duncan tore up a section of the water mains, cutting of the supply. When Super intendent Beattie went down to have the system restored Father Duncan objected and tore up an additional sec tion of the pipe. Meantime the '. S. cable has been kept warm with mess. ages between the Interior Department and the Department of Justice
 On the occasion of the last act of tearing up the water mains Superin- tendent Beattie threatened the men with arrest if they did not desist and they accordingly quit, The pipes were then restored and the water sys- tenn is working again.

TRANSATLANTIC FLYER
 IS MEETING HOPES

HAMMoNDsPoRT, N. Y, June 20.
 Il. Rodman Wanamaker's flying boat, America, was given a second trial yesterday with several men on board, lifting a dead weight of two tons. It rose to flying speed within fifteen feet of the starting point. The trial was in Lake Keuka.
 The America is designed to operate while riding on the water; or skipping along the water touching it only now and again; or to fly above the water. It is the present plan that the trip across the Atlantic will be made only a few feet above the water, and there will be no attempt to attain high alti' tude at any place, unless weather con ditions seem to make that necessary.
 The success of yesterdays trials were as satisfactory as those previous ly made. Further trials will be made on the ocean when the flying boat shall have reached the starting point in New Foundland.
