SHEPPARD DRY BILL
HAS NARROW SQUEAK
MARITIME In,eyenes to Delay Vote After
SquabbIe Resurrects Measure.

The Sheppard prohibition bill survived
In the Senate yesterday BY the narrowest
kind Of . squeak and for q few minutes
it locked a. though the effort of the
rexas Senator to force the Senators to
vote on the measure had been futile.
When the Senate adjourned Friday II
was commonly believed the Sheppard bill
bad been temporarily laid aside and
would be the unfinished business yester-
day. But Vice President Marshall ruled
that Il had lost its place and Senator
fownsend's volunteer officers pension
hil was entitled to consideration.
After . long squabble Mr.. Sheppard Of

won By Q vote Of "a to 81 This vote is

Mr. MARITIME Objects.
Mr.. sheppard's desire to get an early
vote was frustrated by Senator MARITIME,
Of New Jersey. who objected to a vote
Monday. Mr.. MARITIME also spoke against
the bill and aroused the humors of the
Senate by some Of his observations on
alcohol reform. Senators and prohibition.
Senator Reed spoke briefly in attacking
ne corby Baking Company Of Washing
tDn, and other Senators chimed in. either
eor or against the bill.
Senator Snoot indicated to the Senators
hat he intends to make a fight for his
drastic dry bill. He said II was identical

Another straw was the amendment Of
Senator Thompson. providing that ele2-

on which the saloons should remain
closed
Senator Sheppard's bill will have the
right of way tomorrow. He will continue
to ask that date be set for a vote. No
long speeches are announced but the
amendments proposed are so numerous
that frequent roll calls are expected Mr.
Sheppard announced during the day that

UPPER TANANA
 RIVER COUNTRY
 IS SHOWING PAY
LETTER RECEIVED HERE TELLS OF STRIKE MADE IN
 HEALEY COUNTRY.

Substaniating in a measure the opinions of most of the old time miners who have prospected on tke upper Panama river, a report was received in Fairbanks last week telling of the finding of pay dirt on Michigan creek, a tributary of the south fork of the Goodpaster river. The strike was made by l., J. John son, Walter Johnson and Frank Sol ly. The report concerning the find req he'd here in the shape of letter from E E. James. United States commissioner at Richardson.
 Tine letter states that the pros pc tors found ten dollars in the bottom of their shaft when they reached bedrock. Therefore, figur- ing from the miners standpoint as regards the bottom of prospect ing shafts the ground is not rich. of bedrock exposed in the bottom of a six by three prospecting shaft, which, if figured as noted above, would go approximately 55 cents to the square foot. The number of square feet of bedrock from which the money was taken, however, Is not stated in the letter received here
 But the redeeming feature of the strike Is the fact that it was made in shallow ground. That Is, nowhere on Michigan creek, where a hole has been sunk, has bedrock been found at greater depth than % feet. Therefore, at 55 cents to the square foot, the ground would make an excellent opencut proposition. The gold is coarse, according to the re- port. one piece weighing 72 cents having been banned out. Other smaller nuggets were also found.
 The scene of the new strike Is in what Is commonly known as the Healey river country, and is about one days journey from w. H. New tons trading post at the mouth of the Healey. It Is therefore in the Richardson recording precinct. Only eight claims have been recorded as yet according to the letter re ceived here, and they were located by the discoverers of the pay after they had prospected all winter and before they made @ report concern ing their find.

Devils S Skull Is
 Shown In Agate

MT. J. C. Mcdonald, of Graehl, is recently in receipt of a postal card from his brcther-in-law, J. c Craw ford, of Albany, New York, the skull' in a piece of agate. Mir Crawford is a we'll known curio collector of Albany, and values the agate, which he has had set in a brooch pin, at s25,O0o.
 The newspaper article descriptive of the agate, which accompanied the card received hy MT. Mcdonald is as follows
 J. c. Crawford. a local agate grinder and curio fancier, is in possession of a very curious stone, on osato with q perfect likeness of the devils skull plainly traced in it The stone W2g sent to M Crawford by a man named Abraham from Eagle Point, near Medford The rock is clear, while the skull is in a dark brown color Ground in it's present shape for a brooch pin, the agate is about one and a half inches long by three-quarters wide, The rock is valued at $25,- 900, says MT Crawford
 His satanic majesty can be clearly seen The skull Is in profile and shows the full bump at the back of the head indicating from a phre nological standpoint love of fam fly Mir. Crawford says that Satan has the largest family in the world, claiming over two-thirds of the pop ulat1on of the globe. The full head indicates the intellect of the devil, and a large, prominent nose denotes his commanding powers. The full we'll set chin describes the cruel and interruptions character of the devil all of which fits the descrip- tion of the we'll known person dis cussed. To make the likeness com plete there Is pair of horns pro truding from the forehead. It Is indeed a remarkable stone and is carefully guarded by the owner. He has other freaky rocks, one of which shows the portrait of a lady, and another an eagle in flight.

WOMEN MAKE CHANCE IN
 CONSTITUTION
ALL WOMEN OF IS YEARS RESl DENCe IN ALASKA
 MAY JOIN ORDER.

Igloo No. 3. Pioneer Women of Alaska met in regular session at Odd Fellows hall. First avenue, Sat urday evening. with about sixty mem bers present.
 In addition to transaction of rou tine business. an important amend ment to the constitution was passed. namely. that instead of making it compulsory for all women desiring to become members to have been in the Territory of Alaska prior to January 1 1901, under which pro vision all charter members joined any woman may make application for membership after having been in the territory fifteen years prior to making application.
 The amendment was introduced by the president of the Pioneer Wo- men after a conference with William H. McPhee, grand president of the Pioneers of Alaska, through whose efforts the igloo ofg Pioneer Women was organized It was pointed out by MT. Mcphee that, while hun dreds or perhaps thousands of men had come to Alaska prior to Jan 1, 1901, the great majority of women came in after that time especially between the years 1901 and 1906
 There are now 115 charter mem bers, and 1t Is possible that there are nearly as many more eligible to join who came prior to Jan. 1, 1901, but with the amendment just passed, 1t Is hoped to have mem bership of at least three hundred before the close of the present year As the amendment will work auto matically. each year bringing its quota of eligibles, the Pioneer Wo- men of Igloo No hope soon to have a membership equalling, If not excelling, the Pioneers of Alaska
 A congratulatory telegram was TO ceived from the Valdez Auxiliary of Pioneer Women.
 After a short and more or less informal program, the meeting ad journed to assemble at the same time and place one month later-at S:30, D. m, June 3.
