 SAY SENATORS
CHAMBERLAIN BILL INCREASING SALARY COMMISSIONER OF
 EDUCATION KILLED
(By Special Correspondent

JUNEAU, ALASKA, Apr 17.-Sen- ator Aver introduced a second substi ute for the Hunt resolution denounc- ing fish reserves and instructing the Attorney General to take steps to test the validity of the Presidential order creating reserves, and withdrew the first substitute introduced by him Sat urday. The latest substitute contains no preamble, in contrast to the origi- nal resolution, which harshly con demned the action of the President in creating reserves.
 House Bill 23 which passed the Senate providing the payment of men in private employment in legal United States money or checks redeemable at the nearest Alaska bank, and amended last week by the Senate to require monthly paydays for cannery and salt cry employees, was taken from the Senate calendar and sent back to the committee after the attorney general had upheld Dimond's contention that it was strictly class legislation and therefore unconstitutional.
 as The Senate passed the Snodgrass bill prohibiting the importation of diseased livestock into the territory for any purpose, instead of merely for dairy purposes, as under the present law.
 Chamberlin's bill increasing the sal ary of the commissioner of education and requiring certain qualifications, was killed in the Senate, Aldrich Brown, Hunt, Dunn and Snodgrass voting for it's indefinite postponement
 Snodgrass introduced a bill for ter ritorial fairs to promote agriculture, manufacturing, mining and other in- dustries, and appropriating s25OO an- nually for that purpose, these fairs to be held in each division.

At this minute I'm in sight Of a very vexatious problem: because my light hand--Giusepp poria--has got his eyes on Jenny; and though he's priceless as single man and shes invaluable as single woman. If the beggar gets round her and makes her fall in love with him presently. then they'll be married next year and that's eoodby to both of 'em,"
 Mark found himself good deal embarrassed by this confidence.
 T rather thought he was out TOT money--enough money to re-establish the vanished glories of his race
 50 he was and, of course, he knows he can't do that with Jenny's twenty thousand; but love casts out a good many things besides fear. It blights ambition--for the time being anyway-and handicaps man on every side in the race for life. All Doria wants now is Jenny Pendean. and he'll get her If I'm a judge. l wouldn't mind too much either. If they could stop along with me and go on as we're going; but of course that wouldn't happen"

 Secretary Work of the Interior. who has charge of the national parks, has been trying to persuade the president to do some trout fishing in the park but Mir. Harding is not generally re- garded as much of a fisherman and it is doubtful whether he will try his luck with the fly.
 Extensive preparations are reported to have been made by the National Park service for the visit of the president and Mrs. Harding. Agents of the service who have spent years in Yellowstone have sent to Director Mather of the park service reports as to the exact times the intermittent geysers play and the schedule of their party has been so mapped out as to bring 1t to these geysers just as they get into action. Mir. Mather, who joined the party at Salt Lake City, will direct the trip.
 The special train carrying the president and his party left Helena for Gardiner shortly before midnight last night after an address by the chief executive in the Montana capi- tal He spoke upon the social order women and labor, declaring in favor of universal draft of lives and prop erty in event of another war; in op- position to the present day tendency to shoft from the mothers to the schools the care and guidance of the
