DEEP WATER CHANNEL AT PETERSBURG BAR BY END OF THE WEEK

A passage 27 feet deep and 150 feet wide will be cut through the entire length of Petersburg Bar on the north end of Wrangell Mar rows, by about the end of the present week, it was announced today by Major Douglas H. Gillette, Engineer Officer of the Alaska Road Commission, who visited the dredg- ing operations there yesterday.
 The dredge Mckenzie, while en- countering some large boulders, is making excellent progress with it's operations, he said. It is moving approximately 10000 yards daily. The passage is being cleared along the center line of the channel as shown on official charts and as soon as it has been completely cleared, all transportation compan- ies will be officially notified.
 The dredging will continue until the channel has been excavated 27 feet to the dimensional width of the project which is 300 feet across i the bar.
 1 Major Gillette made the trip to Petersburg on Navy plane pilot ed by Lieut.. Burkett. They left here at 830 am, and were back at home shortly after 2 pm. By being able to use the plane, we saved three or four days time 1 that would have been necessary had we been compelled to depend on steamers or use a gasboat. And we were able to make an immedi- ate decision on the method of oper- ations that would have been inn possible otherwise Maj Gillette said. He pointed out that the value of such cooperation both in time savings and in consequent economy was very substantial.

ELKS' SHOW AND DANCE WERE BOTH
 BIG SUCCESSES

Baby Stealers," the Elks' musical show produced by MT. and Mrs. c. J. McNaughtan, played for the second and last time last evening at the Coliseum Theatre to an all most capacity house. The audi ence was responsive and the clever situations, and lines, got many laughs. The attractive musical features and dance numbers re- ceived enthusiastic applause and were all called back repeatedly for encores.
 Comments heard from those att tending the show were more than favorable and indicated that it was as thoroughly enjoyed as any entertainment to come to Juneau for some time.
 After the show there was a dance at the Elks' Hall which was at tended by a record crowd from the show and two steamers, which were in port. Many of the cast in the play in costume, gave the dance q carnival aspect.
 Both the dance and Baby Steal CTS" were pronounced successes fi- nancially and as entertainment.

STUDENT EDDY IF SEWARD H| SCHOOL
 OPEN GYMNASIUM
PROFESSOR BATH CONFIDENT POPULAR MONTHLY CON-
 lRIBUTIONS BE MADE

Thanks to public spirited citizens of Seward athletic activities for children will commence again at the gymnasium within few days. Prof. E. J. Bath, who presided over the special meeting called last night for the purpose of discuss ing ways and means for resump ton of activities, stated he had been given so much assurance from local residents, from a finan- cial standpoint, that he is con- fident the student body of the high school will be able to assume charge and care for the finances, the latter, thru popular monthly subscriptions.
 Students will call upon citizens of the city tomorrow and will ap- preciate greatly any subscription they may give There will no mem berships
 Professor Bath said it is his in- tention to start other forms of ex- ercises for children and regular schedules will be maintained for .adults-women and men-along the lines of the early days of the S. A. C., which has now suspended their activities. -.-..
 Providing the popular subscrip- tions fail to meet the financial ob- legations each month it is planned by the student body to present public entertainments and affairs occasionally in order to make up any deficit which may come up.
 It was stated one business man 2f Seward offered Professor Bath the sum of $25 month providing the city council failed to assist the organization, and also provid- ing the high school were in charge of the gymnasium.
 Professor Bath expressed his ap- preciation to the members of the s. A. C., for the value of the work that club has done in the past for the children of the city; that con- siderable advantages have resulted from their work, more than the public realizes.
 Dr. A. R. Roberts, president of :he s. A. C., informed MT. Bath he should feel at liberty at anytime to call upon the members of the 5. A. C., should he require assist ; ance in any way.
 There were many in attendance at the meeting and all eXDressed 1 various ideas from which Profess or Bath will consider in the forma- 5ion of the new organization. The students will solicit subscriptions tomorrow and the following day or so it is thought, further at.- nouncement will be made as to the opening date and schedules.
 The bare expenses of maintain ing the hall monthly is $100 and ill making subscriptions the public is asked to give only what they feel they can afford. The high school pupils anticipate paying $1 each month toward the upkeep.

Dayey Replies To Beetham

Statement by former Congress
man Martin l.. Davey:
Mr.. Beetham processes to be-
lieve that my demand for his resig-
nation is partisan political snip
ing"
Mr.. Beetham has been trying to
explain and excuse one of the worst
offenses against good government
and decency that has happened in
many years. ~ refer to the use Of
young girls as decoys 1t is not
surprising that he should retaliate
by calling names. His method of de-
fense is on the same plane as tho
practices referred TO.
But perhaps Mr.. Beetham is not
a reader of the Beacon Journal OF
Akron. The Beacon Journal is 4
strong Republican newspaper. 1t is
and has been one of my bitterest
opponents, and last fall it was one
of Governor Cooper's strongest sup
porters. Now this strong Republican
newspaper in column editorial
that reviews all of the evidence
concludes by asking most emphati,
cally for Mr.. Beetham's immediate
retirement. / quote the Akron Bea-
con Journal:
.'Beetham should Immediately
remove himself from this depart
ment. If this is a holdover policy
from the last administration and
Beetham did not know it. then he
/ is asleep and not on the job and
should get out. # it is not a hold.
over policy but something new and
! he did not know what was going
on. he is unfit for the job and
should quit it. If he did know what
was going on, then he is not one
whit better than his thugs who de-
bauch young girls, procure per-
jured testimony, and gamble on the
public funds of Ohio in the line OF
duty and he should resign whether
he inaugurated these practices OF
merely continued them However
it is highly improbable that
Beetham did not know what was
going on. 1t is highly improbable
