Legislature

If labor" This was described by
Mr.. Murray as being the finest ad-
dress ever delivered before the
legislature of Alaska. Nuff sed.
The principal address in favor of
the bill was made by Mr.. Paul. in
which he denied that there was
anything radical in the measure but
that it was simply an attempt on
the part of the Territory to use
all means at their command for
their own government. His speech
also contained an arrangement of
the present system of Bureau con-
troll drawn mainly from his own
experiences with Bureau officials.
The gallery on this occasion was
well filled with cannery and trap
men as we'll as Bureau officials and
their families who applauded Mr..
Gaffney enthusiastically.

COMMERCIAL CLUB

The Commercial Club held it's
regular meeting on Wednesday
evening at the Home Cafe. Mr..
Ralph Bartholomew of Ketchikan
was the guest of the evening and
gave a few words of greeting to
the Club.
A communication from the Ket-
chikan Commercial Club was read
setting forth the fact that they had
gone on record as protesting against
the bill introduced in the legisla-
ture which would provide subsidy
of $4,000 for the operation of a
freight boat to carry halibut and
salmon from Juneau to Prince
Rupert via Petersburg and Wrangell.
The matter aroused quite a dis
cussion, bringing out the fact that
Petersburg occupies a position be-
tween two fires: i.e., if the pro
posed bill passes it will give Juneau
a decided advantage over Peters
burg in DETECTING fish fare that
would otherwise come here. On
the other hand, if the present ar
rangement is maintained. with
such boat operating between
Ketchikan and Prince Rupert, Ket
chikan will have a continued ad
vantage over US unless Mr.. Strong
sends his boat to carry our fish
to rupert A tentative promise has
been made to the Petersburg Com
mercial Club by Mr.. Strong to
this effect. 1t was finally decided
that our club would protest the
passage of the proposed bill.
The matter of the Fourth of
July celebration which the Club
referred to the Council was referred
back to the Club. Altho the mat
ter was discussed briefly, nc furth-
er action was taken.

eral other gasboats started work
ing on the Majestic.
When the schooner hit the reef
she slid off and was resting On her
side. When an attempt was made
to arise her the crew found that
she had turned completely over
and was upright. At extreme low
tide the water was few inches
below the level Of the decks, max
ing it possib1 to pump consider
