JUNEAU, Mar. 29-The Foster lit eracy measure seems to be slated for a sudden death according to the re- port of the senate elections commit tee which recommends that the mea- sure be not passed. The bill was re- ported back to the senate in this light and signed by Chairman Brown, Sen ators Snodgrass and Aldrich, members of the senate elections committee. The measure will come up for it's second reading today.
 Senator Dimond has introduced a bill which requires the filing of aida dayits of annual labor on mining claims within ninety days after June 30, instead of December 91, as is now required. The change is considered necessary to meet the change ill the assessment work period from the cal endar year to the fiscal year and is aimed to wipe out the existing coop erative road law,
 Wilson of Nome introduced bill providing for the creation of new territorial road commission with per functory duties and four divisional road boards in which is vested the control of all road construction and the expenditures of all territorial funds. The bill does not mention any where a cooperation with the federal agencies. If this measure is enacted into a law it will undoubtedly result 1 in a loss to Alaska of all federal funds made available by territorial cooperation.
 Foster introduced a memorial into the house denouncing the Nelson game bill, which was before the last session of congress, and asks that the terri tory be given control of all game.

Samuel Marlowe, muffled in bath
robe, came back to the stateroom from
his tub. His manner had the often
sive jauntiness of the man who has
had cold bath when he might just
as easily have had a hot one. He
looked out Of the portfolio at the SHIN

It was not merely the spiritual pride
induced by a cold bath that was up
lifting this young man. The fact was
that, as he toweled his glowing back,
he had suddenly come to the decision
that this very day he would propose
to Wilhelmina Bennett. Yes. he would
put his fortune to the test, to win or
lose it all. True, he had only known
her for four days, but what of that?
Nothing in the way of modern prog
ress is more remarkable than the
manner in which the attitude of your
lover has changed concerning pro-
posals--of marriage. When Samuel
Marlowe's grandfather had convinced
himself, after about year and half
of respectful aloofness that the emo
ton which he felt towards Samuel
Marlowes grandmother-to be was love,
the fashion of the period compelled

in the rose garden and brought the
thing off.
How different is the behavior Of the
modern young man. His c0urtship can
hardly be called courtship at all.
His methods are those of Sir w. s.
Gilbert's "Alphonso."

creation ticks.

like bird!"
Sam Marlowe was bright young
man and did not require a year TO
make up his mind that Wilhelmina
Bennett had been set apart by Fate
from the beginning of time to be his
bride. He had known 1t from the mo-
ment he saw her on the dock, and all
the subsequent strolling, reading,
talking, soup-drinking, tea-drinking,
and shuffie-board-playing which they
had done together had merely solidi-
fed his original impression. He loved
this girl with all the force of fiery
nature-the fiery nature Of the Mar
loves was by-word in Bruton street,
Berkeley square - and something
seemed to whisper that she loved him.
At any rate she wanted somebody like
Sir Galahad, and, without wishing to
hurl bouquets at himself, he could not
see where she could possibly get any
one liker Sir Galahad than himself
So, wind and weather permitting,
Samuel Marlowe intended to propose
to Wilhelmina Bennett this very day.
He let down the trick basin which
hung beneath the mirror and, collect
ing his shaving materials, began to
lather his face.
81 am the Bandolero!" sang Sam
blithely through the soap. 81 am. am
the Bandolero! Yes. yes. l am the
Bandolerow
The untidy heap of bedclothes in the
lower berth stirred restlessly.
"Oh, Cd" said Eustace Hignett
thrusting out a tousled head.
Sam regarded his cousin with COM
miseration. Horrid things had been
happening to Eustace during the last
few days, and it was quite a pleasant
surprise each morning to find that he
was still alive.

had never. Of course, supposed that the

was nice to find his high opinion of her

Swelled almost to bursting-point
with these reflections, he went on deck
to join the ante-luncheon promenade.
He saw Billie almost at once. She
had put on one of these nice sacky
sport-coats which so enhance feminine
charms, and was striding along the
deck with the breeze playing in her
vivid hair like the female equivalent
of Viking. Beside her walked
young Mr.. Bream Mortimer.
Sam had been feeling good deal of
a fellow already, but at the sight of
her welcoming smile his self-esteem
almost caused him to explode. What
