swept UP to line within 300 yards of
the railroad station In the little town of
Renrie, Manitoba. near the Ontario

fires are burning near Hector, 20 miles

Gus forest fires still burned In Montana
and Idaho today. while blazes in East
ern Washington and in Oregon were
reported considerably subdued.
Three CONGREGATIONS stubbornly re-
sisted frefighters In North Idaho
the Bald Mountain, Old Man Creek and
Salmon River fires. Montana foresters
dispatched additional crews of men and
pack trains to the FIRE lines in that
State.
Oregon Situation Improved.
The situation in Oregon was believed
better, with one fire In the Mount
Rainier Forest Offering the most trou-
Bile. In Western Washington only the
Wolf Greek fire in the Chelan Forest
seemed serious.
Although low humidity has worked
against the foresters during the last
few days, few new lightning fires have
been reported.
More than 1000 nrefghters were
trying to stem the tide of flames by cut
ting out underbrush, digging trenches
and backfring. Well organized bases
of supplies kept them furnished with
food, tools and blankets by using trucks
and pack animals. The fires had burn

BOY SCOUT CABIN FINE
 STRUCTURE
Long Cherished Dream of Local Organization
 Is Realized

Long talked of by the Boy Scouts, and grown-ups that were interested and realized it's im- portance, the Boy Scouts log cabin is now an actual fact It is beau- tifully situated on the shore of Favorite Channel, overlooking Ste phen's Passage, with many islands ill view, and it presents a hospit- able sight with it's sloped, red, fire proof shingle roof, wide windows and 20 foot covered porch extend ing in front of the cabin proper
 It is built on the sight of the cookhouse that was temporarily erected last year, and nas water piped down to it from a fresh spring on the hill, plenty of ground for the boys to play on, and two miles of gently sloping, sandy beach nearby.
 The cabin itself is 10 logs high with wide windows on the water side and in the rear. The windows on the other side will be put in some time this week, according to E. c. Guerin, who was in charge of the construction. Aside from the windows and castings and mold ings on those already in, the cabin is completed, except for the chimney and cement floor. After the logs have settled, the chinks are to be filled with cement, to make it dry and rat proof.
 Ample Room
 The roomy porch gives the cabin large extra outside room, that was planned to be used as a cook house. The roof is supported by four log pillars, and the top logs on either side of the house are 54 feet long, extending from the rear of the cabin to the front of the porch. The present plan is to leave just the dirt floor to the porch, and have the sides well screened in. Inside measurement of the big room of the cabin proper is 20 by 30 feet, which gives the boys adequate space. The logs are well fitted and expert axe work is evident where the win dows have been put into the walls
 Built Quickly
 The cabin, for which money was donated by the people of Juneau only a short time ago, was rapidly built, actual construction taking by 12 days.
 MT. Guerin, Cadastral Engineer of the U. s. Bureau of Public Sur vey, volunteered to put up the cabin and donated his time to the

 New Bills Introduced
 Seven new measures were intro dueed in the House this morning. One, by Mir Winn, empowers any commissioned officer of the Salva- ton Army to perform marriage ceremonies. One by MT. Donnelley seeks an allotment of $10,000 from the Fourth Division road fund to improve the Iditarod River at Iditarod. Two by MT. Mccain are designed to protect furfarmerS. One provides that all fur-bearing or game animals once in captivity and capable of Identification are per sonal property and may be claimed and seized by their owners. The second is a bill for an act to pro- tect fur farms against trespass ol molestation, making it misde- meanor for anyone other than the 1 fur farmer himself or his agent or his own fur farm to take, attempt to take, capture or kill any animal set any trap or place poison, dis charge firearms, etc, on fui farm. It also permits the owner or agent of fur far into kill any dog running at large on it.

HOUSE CLEARS DECKS TO ACT
 ON STEEL BILL
Overrides Proposal to De- lay Controller Bill Until
 Next Wednesday

The House this morning overrode proposals to postpone consideration of the Steel Controller Bill until Wednesday. and without record of the vote adopted in full all of the amendments recommended by the Committee on Territorial h. stitutions. The measure was ad- vanced to third reading and is slated to come up tomorrow after noon for final disposal.
 As amended by the House, every provision looking toward the estab- lishment of the Board of Control was stricken from the measure.
 Other Amendments
 The disbarment of Federal and Territorial officers, and employees of such, either on March 1, or one year prior to that date, was re- moved. And to elect the first au- ditor. which it is provided shall be done by the present Legislature, it will require a majority vote of all members. The confirmation of all appointive officers, and the Com missioner of Education is made one of these, is required by the entire Legislature instead of the Senate alone.
 The terms of office of the Audi tor and Treasurer in the original bill would expire March 1, and under the House amendment this is made April l. The present treas urer would be continued in office until March 31, 1881. His present term of office does not expire un- til January 1, of that year. The salary of his office is made $5,000 instead of $4,0OO, but it is now in effect S5,O00 as S1 900 additional is paid the Treasurer for his services on various boards.
 Against Further Delay
 The proposal for delay in consid- eration, was made by MT. Woofter, who explained that MT. Vim de- sired to be present, and, as he was detained in court today represent ing a client, motion was offered to continue the bill in second read ing until Wednesday. MT. Foster, MT. Donnelley, Mir Shattuck and others voiced protests against car rying it over any longer. It is apparent we are approaching somewhat of crisis in this mat ter" declared MT Donnelley, add ing that the sooner the subject was acted on and out of the way, the better 1t would be for the whole Territory and the Legislature as well.
 The sentiment of the Hous e against postponment was so strong that Mir. Woofter withdrew his motion. After the House had adopted the amendments. which were explained by MT. Donnelley, as Chairman of the Committee, MT. ziegler renewed the motion to continue the measure until Wednesday, but it was defeated.
 Pass One Measure
 The House passed measure ap- propriating $76 to defray the eX- penses of A. E. Karnes, member of the Text Book Commission, from Ketchikan to Juneau and return. It defeated a bill appropriatins $500 for the relief of Allen Crane and a Senate bill appropriating s363.58 to pay for supplies used by the 1927 Legislature.
