MAKING VERY
 HARD CLInb

Chas. Nye and l.. A. Harrison, of the Home Power Co.,, left this morn ing for tue second summit of he mountain range to the east of SkaS- way. close to the foot of Mt. Dewe6 for the purpose of turning into the reservoir of the Home Power O., the waters of the upper lake. As there are yet quantities of snow and ice CD the steep mountain trail over which they will have to pass before reaching their destination, they each took along with them q pair Of tce-creepers as well as a pair Of snowshoeS.
 Last summer the Home Power CO., built dam at the outlet of the upper lake for the purpose of GOA serving the water in such manner as would enable it to control the supply and turn 1t into the lower lake, or reservoir, when needed. A cabin was also builG near the out- let to the upper lake and well supplied with cooking utensils, pro visions and bedding, to be used by employees Of the company in cases Of emergency, in consequence O. which the hardy adventurers who are today making the ascent will not have to worry their brains IS to where they will find a place to rest their heads tonight, but rath- CT as to whether they will be able to get their heads as well as the remainder 0: their bodies, to their destination in safety.
 The men have made arrangements to be absent for several days, as it is thought it will take them that length Of time to accomplish what they have set out to do.

THE EAGLES MAY STOP
 THEIR SUBDIVISIONS

A movement is on foot among that branch of the Thlingets wlS are members of the Eagles order, or tribe, to do away with their many subdivisions. For instance, the Eagles, one of the two great branch es of Thlmgets, the other branch being the Ravens, is composed of many subdivisions. These include the Ka-gwon-tons, the Bears, Wolves, Threshers, Divers, Sharks, etc. The plan, which is Icing con sidered by the natives at, Douglas and Juneau is to form the Native Order of Eagles, to comprise mem- bers of all of the separate branch es of he Eagle tribe or order, and to obliterate the sub-branches. .--
 The movement is said to be gener- ally supported.
 So far as known no movement has been started to organize the Ravens into one branch. The Ravens, like the Eagles, have their. sub-brancA- es, which include the Whales, Frogs Sea Lions, Cranes, Moons Suns, etc Juneau Empire. .,

 There is a rumor current tn this city that the Turks have decided to transfer the capital and the seat of government to BrOusa in direct Op- position to Germany's wish that AdrinOple be chosen.

r. HE everyday dress for the lit
i tie girl OF school age pictured here
leaves nothing to be desired in the
way OF design or material employed
From the age at which the little miss
takes up the responsibility OF getting
her schooling until she turns her back
upon the primary grades, dresses OF
this type are for her, and for all her
general wear. They do not vary a
great deal from season to season, but
appropriate some of the new features
brought in for the dresses of their
elders, by way of becoming interest
ing.
In this particular model novelty
that will please everyone is noticeable
In the Introduction of a simulated gir-
die which provides for two pockets.
This may be managed so as to make
the pockets more or less practical,
as in the case OF pockets on tea
aprons where they amount to a deco
rative feature, but will take care of
the handkerchief and other small ar
ticles.
The dress shown here is made of
linen in the natural color, with narrow
pipings Of plaid gingham in bright
colors. These outline the collar, cuffs
and girdle. A ribbon tie, in the same
colors as the piping, finishes the neck
with one long end threaded through
