BIG LOW GRADE STRIKE
 REPORTED AT HooNAH

A big quartz strike is reported to have been made near Hoonah. Sam. Guyot, who has just returned from that place says that many people have made locations on the lead which is said to be an immense body of low grade free milling gold ore. Assays have been returned from samples ta- ken in different spots, 1t is said, run ming as high as SS2 to $40 per ton.
 The discoverer is said to be a fish erman named Anderson. Steven Kane, Frank Shotter, Dawson and number of other prominent citizens of Hoonah have become interested in the propo- sition. The strike is about fifteen miles from Hoonah and the lead comes right down to the beach, making it an ideal working proposition, if the gold proves to be there in commercial quantities.

JUNEAU AFTER
 PUBLIC BUILDING

The Federal Building Committee of the Juneau Commercial Club will not allow Congress to forget that there is urgent need of the immediate con struction of q Federal building in Ju. .neau. The resolutions prepared by the committee and adopted by the club at it's last meeting ask that an appropriation for $5OO,OOO be made by Congress for the erection of the building. This resolution is to be sent to members of Congress and others known to be friendly toward Alaska and is being followed up with letters with javelin points emphasizing some of the following pertinent facts:
 The Federal offices in Juneau are at present scattered all over the city in frame buildings and with no pro tection whatever for the valuable doc uments against destruction by fire.
 The Federal offices in Juneau trans act more business annually than any other town of five times the population of Juneau.
 The United States government pays out annually S6,5OO for rent for Fed eral offices in Juneau Boats in Ju- neau are constantly increasing and buildings are in more demand.
 The people of Juneau are com pelled to walk through dark and narrow alley in order to reach the entrance to the Postoffice. The lease on the building occupied by the pres. ent postoffice in Juneau is soon to expire and the postoffice department is finding 1t difficult to secure bids on any site or in any building in which to move the postoffice.
 There is no provision made for hall in which the Territorial legisla- ture may meet.
 The Governors office is compelled to pack documents in constant de- mand by the public and the attic of the little old frame building is piled high with stuff The Historical li- brary material, constantly accumu. lating is also piled high in the attic of the building which has no fire pro tection.
 The people of Juneau many years ago subscribed and contributed $2.5O0 toward the purchase price for the site of the proposed Federal building with the understanding that the building was to be erected at once.
 Attention is pointed to House Joint Memorial No. q, passed by the first and last session of the Alaska legis- lature asking Congress to appropriate enough money to erect a suitable Fed eral building.
 Attention Is called to the fact that the appropriations heretofore made by Congress have been allowed to go by the board cause no action has been taken during the life of the ap- propriation.

SEATTLE CELEBRATES
 FOR ALASKA'S R. R.

SEATTLE, March 2S.-All Seattle celebrated the passage of the Alaska railroad bill Saturday night. One hun. dred thousand people participated in and watched the proceedings. The most striking of the novel features of the affair was the passage of the Alas ka special train, loaded with Alaska products and officered by Gov. Ernest Lister, Mayor H. c. Gill. and Presi- dent J. D. Chilberg. of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, which speeded up Second avenue.
 The program included a spectacular parade through the streets of the city. In 1t were platoons of Alaskans in parkas, members of the Arctic Broth erhood, members of the Yukon Sour doughs, Yukon Pioneers, Sourdough students of the University of Wash ington, dog teams, floats with rock CTS washing gold, and other interest ing features. Red fire, exploding bombs and fireworks added to the splendor of the scene.
 The parade closed at a big bonfire near the New Washington hotel and was followed by banquet at the ho. tel.
 Among the speakers at the banquet were Bishop P. T. Rowe, Joe Warren, and other Alaskans, as well as promi- nent local citizens.
 Many letters and cablegrams from men of National importance were read.

Douglas Democrats
 Give Big Smoker

DOUGLAS. March 2S.-The Demo crats of the Island had their Inning Saturday night. They lndulged in praises of Democracy, mutual encom' iums. feasting and social diversions, The much talked of smoker followed immediately after the picture show at the Lyric Theatre, and more than a hundred assembled for the occasion.
 J. F. Mcdonald. a Democrat of long standing. was chairman and he mingled enough humor with his introductions to enliyen the occasion from the start. The first speaker of the evening was Monte Snow, who talks Democracy in his sleep. Mir. Snow said that he had lived in Alaska during part of each and every Democratic administration. He knew Gov. Swineford, Judge De- laney and host of the Democrats, whom he had held in almost rever- ential esteem; in fact. he looked up- on the successful Democrats as heroes, and the unsuccessful ones as martyrs. Mir. Snow said. and proved by figures, that every reform in Alaska since it's purchase in 1867 was due either di- rectly or indirectly to Democratic rule and influence.
 Judge J. B. Marshall followed with a convincing speech on the tariff bill recently passed by Democratic Con- gress. He had made a deep study of the subject and spoke conyincingly and instructively. He paid high com pliments to Governor J. F. A. Strong, and said that the Democrats of Alaska could do no better than send the Gov ernor to Washington as our represen- tative.
 J. A. Hellenthal followed with talk on Democracy in general and made an impassioned plea to the people to stand by the party which has done and Is doing so much for Alaska. His references to President Woodrow Will son were applauded. as were also his compliments to Gov. Strong, whom he advocated as the necessary person to represent Alaska as delegate to Con- gress.
 Gov. J. F. A. Strong said that posi-. lively and under no circumstances would he be a candidate for delegate to Congress. He spoke of construc- tive legislation accomplished by Will sons administration in its first year, and predicted great development for Alaska through the passage of the rail road bill, and other legislation now pending and which he believed would, be enacted into law; urged unity among the people of Alaska so that they would reap the full benefit of the developments which the new era was ushering in; that the constructive policy would develop the territory's great natural resources, and that it is now time for everyone to boost and cease knocking"
 At the close of the speechmaking. the audience was invited to the ban quet room where the men and women mingled in feasting and social con- verse. The Governor with Mrs. Strong Mir. Cheney and the Juneau speakers left for their homes on the midnight ferry.
