ELKs' DANCE LAST NIGHT
 WAS A GREAT SUCCESS

The Elks' dance last night at Elks' hall was one of the most delightful so. cial events that have ever been given by that order that never does anything that it does not do we'll. The beauti, fully dcorated hall and handsomely gowned women presented a picture not soon to be forgotten. The attend. ance was large, and everything possi- ble was done for the comfort and pleasure of the guests. Electric fans kept the air in motion; ices and punch were served. and notwithstanding that the night was warm, the hall was comfortable and the evening enjoyed. The music by Prof Sumpf's ten-piece orchestra, was doubtlessly the best dance music ever heard in Juneau.

Alaska Railroad Tax
 Bill Turned Down


 WASHINGTON June 16.-Delegate James Wickersham, of Alaska, yester. day afternoon endeavored to secure the passage of the bill repeating the $1OO mille tax on Alaska railroads. Representative Jeremiah Donovan, Democrat, of Connecticut objected to unanimous consent, but withdrew the objection at the request of Represen- tative William c. Houston. Democrat. of Tennessee, chairman of the House committee on Territories. The bill was then attacked by Representative Irvine L. Lenroot, progressive Republi. can of Wisconsin, who offered amend. ments tending to destroy the purpose of the bill, and finally terminated the proceeding under unanimous consent.
 Chairman Houston and Representa-. tive Walter A. Watson, Democrat of Virginia, plead for the bill, but their efforts were of no avail.
 Fairbanks Postoffice Blll Falls Also.
 The efforts of Delegate Wickersham to secure consideration of the Fair banks public building bill met with similar fate.
 Special Rule May Be Asked.
 The supporters of the bill repeating the railroad tax and the coal lands leasing bill are contemplated asking for a special rule for their considera- tion. If that can be secured the bills will pass. It is believed that there will be no chance to secure their consider ation under a unanimous consent agreement.
