have figured, he pointed out, that a
cow ought to give about 5000 pounds
of milk yearly to show a good profit
above the cost of feed and labor. A
good way for the farmers who are in
terested in this problem and others
as well, to study methods which have
proven successful and within the av-
erage farm pocketbook in increasing
production, is by attending the Ma
tional Dairy Exposition on the fair
grounds at Syracuse, N. Y, October
5-13, Mr.. Bausman believes. In his
opinion it will more than repay the
cost, as it is recognized as the finest
show of its kind in the country anC
pays unusual attention to arranging
exhibits which show the practica
farmer many useful methods he car
employ on his farm.

At 10:27 o'clock this forenoon cable connection was again restored with the outside world The repairing of tnc breaks has taken several days on account of stormy weather. One break, that of the cable between Sitka and Petersburg. was repaired by the cableship Dellwood three days ago That cable has been out of commission since February 5. The Petersburg-Juneau cable. repaired this morning. has been out of com mission since March ,.
 During the breaks the commercial and press matter has been creditably handled between Sitka and the local radio station and then transferred from the later to the cable office station. The wireless force has been augmented by the cable operators and the service has been kept up

VITAL CHANGES
 MADE IN HOUSE
 PAYMENTS BILL
Amendments Ad pted d by Senate Requiring Regular
 Pay Days by Canneries.

From bill requiring payment of employees in money of the United States or checks redeemable therein at tho nearest bank in the Terri tory, House Bill No. 23, was this morning transformed into a measure requiring monthly paydays 10 all cannery workers by amendments of- fered by Senator Aldrich and adopt ed by the Senate A further amend ment was adopted deferring the eff fectiveness of the bill, if passed, until January l, 1924 in order that it might not work hardships on the canners during the present season.
 Before the amendments of Senator Aldrich were adopted Senator Di- mond explained that he believed the bill stood chance of being uncon- stitution; that while the Legislature might enact bill covering all classes of labor requiring regular stated paydays, it was doubtful if it could do so in any particular industry and exclude all others. He added he would not oppose further the amendments if the Senate de- sired to adopt them after that ex- planation.
 The bill, which is House Bill No. 23, was passed to its third reading.
 Cooperative Mine Inspection.
 Senator Ayers bill providing for cooperative mine inspection by the Territory and the Federal Govern ment and suspending for two years the Territorial mine inspection law. was strongly supported in its second reading today when it passed. Sen ators Aver, Dunn, Chamberlin, and Dimond spoke for it as a measure that would add to the efficiency of mine inspection and be productive of economy sav- ing several thousand dollars to the Territory during the biennium. It will, also, said MT. Aver, give the Territory the services of five experts at a lesser cost than 1t could provide for the services of a single man under the independent system.
 Senator Aldrich expressed un- alterable opposition to the bill which

better than during any previous break. At no time has matter been 1 deldted longer than 12 hours. and this notwithstanding the fact that business has been exceedingly heavy OF account of the Legislature in ses- sion and a great amount of other commercial business.
 Perhaps the repair of the cable will bc hailed with delight not only by the business men, but by those opeI. ating radio receiving sets in Juneau. If which there are several scores. The local radio receiving sets have been many time right in the middle of delightful concert from the East or from some Pacific Coast station. when the local radio station would begin sending and then whir-rrr-rT-- and the concert was interrupted.

he denounced as measure for bureaucracy and in opposition to the principles of full Territorial olf-government. MT. Dunn denied that such an issue entered into the matter which he said was merely a question of efficiency and economy. The bill passed it's second reading with every indication that it would pass the Senate without difficulty
 Resolution Continued.
 Senate Joint Resolution No. 2, authorizing the Attorney General to attack in the courts the validity of the creation of fish reserves and empowering him to defend any in dividual or corporation violating the rules and regulations of the Bureau of Fisheries, caused a brief tilt be- tween Senators Ayes and Aldrich. The former declared that he and other members would like to study the resolution mere closely and asked that it be referred to the Committee on Taxation. MT. Aldrich objected to it being returned to committee. Mr. Aver then request ed it be continued on the calendar in second reading which was done.
 House Bill No. 13, relative to filing fees of corporations, was laid on the table subject to call to await the action of the House on a new measure on the same subject which was introduced there today by MT. Daily.
 Senate Bill No. 90, making the regular nominee of each political party for Delegate to Congress also ex-officio National Committeeman, which is favorably reported, was also continued on the daily file in second reading at the request of Senator Aver Senate Bill No. S6, asking for 5000 for school house

Senate Refuses Concur In House Amendment
 To Women's Jury Bill

The Senate yesterday refused to concur in the Houses amend ment to Senator Browns bill extending jury duty to women and the House as promptly re- fused 10 recede from it's amend ment Conference committees from both branches were ap- pointed and will meet today.
 As the bill as returned from the lower House is so radically different from the original bill, it is mot expected that any agreement will be reached by the conferees. The matter will probably go to free conference and predictions are made that it will be found impossible 10 reach an agreement.
 Mr Browns bill, in it's original form and as il passed the Sen ate, extended jury duty to women but allowed them to claim sex as an exemption. The House struck out the sex exemption clause.

NEW EAGLE BOUNTY LAW NOT EFFECTIVE UNTIL
 JULY II OF THIS YEAR

The new eagle bounty law, just en' acted by the present session or the Legislature, the bounty payable un- der the new law being $1 for each eagle killed, does not become eftec' tive until expiration of 90 days after passage and approval of the bill which will be July II, 1923, according to a statement made today by Wal stein G. Smith, Territorial Treasurer This is in accordance with proyi sions of the Organic Act, as the law d.d not contain An emergency clause.
 This means that bounty Of only 50 cents can be paid on eagles taken prior to date of July II, 1923, winch is go days after approval of the new law. On eagles taken on and after said date of July 1, bounty Of s1 is rayable Mir. Smith said should be careful in preparation of affidavts and doubt Ness in some instances fl will be necessary for claimants for bounty to make two separate affidaivts.
 'It is important that this bounty feature should be given careful al tention, as thls office cannot pay the new bounty on birds taken prior to the date above mentioned said MT. Smith

FRIDAY, 13TH, TODAY;
 IT HAD TO
 COME SOME DAY

What went wrong today?" No use quarreling with friend husband or wife; no use spank ing the children; no use calling on all that is because of i'll luck-it's Frid3y, the 18th. That's the reason the bill col leetor called and Johnny tore the best suit of clothes he has and mother lost the prize at bridge and the cook burned the pie.
 But so far as can be learned the alleged" hoodoo of Friday the 18th has been conspicuous in Juneau by it's absence today. The dawn came as usual this morning; lunch was served at noon, and aside from the fact there has been little rain the hours have passed much as any other day.
