and by Corrigan Tn the House passed it's second reading.
 This is the bill drawn up by Att torney Cohen at the request of the Nome Mine Workers Union to cover the eight hour day referendum, Att torney Cohen being one of the att torneys to the general organization with which the Nome local is affil- lated.
 It has now passed the both houses in it's second reading with slight amendments and will undoubtedly pass the legislature. The House changed the minimum punishment from ninety days to sixty and the minimum fine from five hundred to one hundred dollars. The Senate will concur in these.
 The towns of Wrangell, Juneau and Douglas have begun organiz- ing companies preparing to enlist in the war.
 These will form an Alaska regi- ment which will offer it's services to the President in the war.

LOCAL ITEMS.

The epidemic of distemper is practically killing all the pups in Nome dogdom and this condition is not confined to Nome. Deming Wheeler writes it has reached away up the Yukon and Ben Derrick lost all kinds of animals through it's ravages. Locally many who were rearing fine breeds of pups have lost all of them, Frank c. Dean, George Sykes and Ed. Darling being large losers. There seems to be no remedy. All the veterinary books consulted have failed to produce remedy for the disease which is ot very peculiar nature. The dogs are stricken even while in the very
 finest condition and eat good up to the last. They take fit of shiver- ing, foam at the mouth, get fits and roll oyer often succumbing while in this stage. It is not apparent that they suffer much. Charlie Dankhart says that the disease IS epidemic up at Candle also, and that it pays most attention to small pups. Deming Wheeler writes that Ben Derrick who had charge of wolf pup for him, bred in the bone, genuine timber wolf, got the disease and was so tame that it would take the feed and medicine right from the keeper. The animal recovered from a very bad dose of. the sickness in quicker time than any of the other animals many of which died F. c. Dean had par ticularly fine lot of Siberians as had Yorkey and these were all car- ried off by the epidemic which mo- thing seems able to cure.

 Today the Federal agents secured the names and listed them for offici- al reference upon the part of the government. They also took down the names of all who secured marri- age licenses since war was declared.
 It is believed that an effort will be, made to deny exemption to all who took out their license to marry after the declaration of war was signed by the President.
 Notwithstanding these reports which are published in the papers, the rush for licenses shows no fall ing off whatever and they arc still crowding the officials of the Bureau.
