LABORING MEN TO VEL
 COME DEAR DEP0RTED''

LONDON, Feb. 13.-Laboring peo- ple of London nre planning a monster demonstration for the dear deported," the name that has been given the ten labor leaders deported from South Africa by Premier Louis Botha for activity in the strikes that have been stamped out in the Union of South Africa.
 The British people are all stirred up over the coming of the laborers. The government is in a quandry, but takes the position that Great Britain cannot interfere in the government of self.governing colonies, and that the question of the legality of the depor- tation is a South African matter. The Conservative papers are making all the use possible of the incident to em- barrass the government. However, they all praise Botha for the summary manner in which he dealt, and many of them express regret that he is not at the head of the British government to handle the labor and sufrragette troubles "at home"

Moir l's here to test the different sites chosen by Superintendent John Irwin of the Northwestern division last fall as probable locations for the new high power station that is to be erect ed here during the coming summer.

The Seventh Annual Grand Ball of the Juneau Fire Department has pass ed into history and will be remember ed as one of the most brilliant affairs ever undertaken by the organization. Elks hall last night was one grand crush of happy folk gathered from both sides of Gastineau channel.
 The hall was beautifully decorated with orange and purple. streamers of pendant ribbons in alternating col ors enclosed the large auditorium like the threads of an immense spider web. The great 9.piece orchestra under the leadership of Prof. sumpf furnished music that compelled responsive ac- tion, and there was not dull minute during the evening. The floor com mittee was active in taking care of strangers. Punch and lemonade were served at the booths arranged for that purpose.

SAFE NAVIGATION NECESSARY IF WE HAVE RAILROAD
COMPANY
 WANTS FRANCHISE

City Attorney J. B. Marshall Is pre- pairing franchise ordinance for the Juneau and Douglas Telephone Co.,, and 1t may be submitted to the city council at special meeting which will be held tonight The present franchise or permit under which the telephone company operates is, 1t is claimed, entirely too vague to warrant the expenditure of money in improve ments, which the town of Juneau is now demanding.
 The terms of the new franchise as tentatively outlined provides for a 25- year franchise granting the use of all the streets, alleys and bridges for the purpose of installing poles, conduits, and stringing wire for such service.
 In consideration of the benefits ac- cruing from said franchise the tele- phone company obligates itself as fol lows:
 First-To furnish the City of Juneau the free use of such telephones as may be needed by said city for public pur- poses only;
 second-To grant the City of Juneau the right to string or install it's wires for the conveyance of fire alarm sig nals upon the poles belonging to the grantee, and when once said wires are installed to maintain the same in good repair, but not to furnish the material for such repairs;
 Third-To pay to the City of Ju- neau as a further consideration as long as grantee has an exclusive fran. chise from the City of Juneau two per cent. of it's gross annual receipts, pro vlded said grantee does not expend an equal amount each year in the work of placing it's wires in underground conduits. in which event the City of Juneau valves it's right to the aforesaid two per cent. of gross receipts.
 The telephone company agrees to furnish phones to the public at the following monthly rates: For one wall telephone on a single line. $S5O; for each additional phone on the same line, $2.5O; for a desk telephone on a single line, S4.OO.

Gov. Strong Is Urging
 Exposition Appropriation

Unless the people of Alaska take immediate action" said Gov. J. F. A. Strong this morning. "Alaska's exhibit at the great Panama-Pacihc exposi- ton will be comparatively pencil mark-a mere fly speck on the wall. Congress has appropriated only $5O0,- 900 for the entire exhibit of the United States and as is seen by the reply of Adolph c. Miller, chairman of the Elk hibit Board, there is no possibility of getting anything near the sum for this great exposition as was used in the Alaska Yukon Pacific exhibition at Se- attle.
 oI had asked for s15O.OOO of the sum already appropriated. We ought to have $2OO,OOO. Since receiving MT. Miller's letter have taken the mat ter up with Delegate James Wicker sham with the idea of getting a spe- cial appropriation for Alaska for this purpose. have also communicated with Senators Elwood Bruner. Conrad Breeding and Henry Roden, of the AL aska Legislature who are now in Washington and asked them to help toward getting such a measure through congress. But 1t is essen tial that We who are trying to do something have the people Of Alaska back us up and l urgently request that every commercial club in Alaska and every community take concerted ac- ton to make a demand for enough funds to have an Alaska exhibit that will be of some benefit to the eOun- try.
 "The fact that the general govern ment is investing $4O.OOOOOO in the construction of a railroad to develop the resources of the country is all the more reason why liberal appropria- ton should be available for advertis- ing those resources in such manner as a great exposition of this kind will afford. We had $1OOOOO for the se- attle exposition and it was inadequate, and in view of the greater magnitude of the San Francisco exposition we should have double that amount"
