denly tensed and his eyes widened. The Y-27
was lying at depth of 800 feet and her de-
signers had set 200 feet as the extreme depth to
which she could go in safety
The skipper turned to Lieut. Griffin and beck
oned hastily to Mike Donlin, who was just
coming in from the battery room. The two men
glanced at the gauge and turned, with serious
faces TO their commander.

His voice, Tommy noted, was cool and dispas-

Hobson. Donlin hurried to connect this small
auxiliary pump, designed for work at high pres

worked for few seconds and then blew the
fuses as the larger pump had done.
There was one more chance. The adjusting
tank could draw perhaps thousand pounds OF
water from the ballast tank; and this in turn,
could be blown out by compressed air. Lieut..
Griffin stood at Tommy'S elbow--he was not
going to have another order misunderstood
and the process was begun. 1t worked Tommy's
heart grew lighter.
Then a new danger arose When the aux-

job to stand there and adjust these wheels as
Lieut.. Griffin might order.
So Tommy stood motionIess and in silence
bewaIed his fate. He did not really mind the
risks of the job much; 1t was the fact that
there was nothing romantic exciting about
it that CALLED him.
When he enlisted he had pictured himself,
dressed in picturesque, flowing blue. standing
on the deck of Snappy, four funneled cruiser
on q bright, sunlit sea, performing deeds of
hetoiSm in the clean air. while the thrilling
picture of battle spread itself before his eyes,
But now-he thought bitterly-even if they
encountered a German battleShip, he would
see nothing he would simply stand there and
Twill his wheels as the officer directed, and he
would be as ignorant of what was happening
as il he were back at home 1t would even
be possible for him to take part in the greatest
naval battle in history without getting so much
as peep at G.
He shook his heads The Navy wasn't what
he had supposed it. 1t didn't to
that he was on fire with youthful patriotism;
instead it Sneered at him because his voice
and hands and skin were all soft Why oh
why, had he ever enlisted in the Navy? And
why, having enlisted, had he volunteered for
submarine service?
MEANWHILE, Lieut. Griffin decided that IL
was time to blow the adjusting tank
This was a small affair used to compensate
for the loss of buoyancy caused by the in
evitable seepage of sea water into a submarine

below the surface now for an hour; it was time
to empty the tank. the ship would begin
to slip down below periscope depth.

sounded like open the auxiliary tank"-an
order which would cause the submarine to

that it would dive as rapidly as possible.

should slip to the open ocean.
1t was not nice job-not any way YOU
looked at 1t. In the first place. a Seagoing
submarine is about uncomfortable an habi-
tation as ingenious mortas have yet devised
In the second place, there a great many
little things that can go wrong on a submarine
and any one of them can be enough to bring
all of the crew to death. Then, thirdly the

The lode is approximately 150 feet wide and extends from December Point across Mitkoff Island in the di- rection of Woodpecker Cove. It has been traced and staked for two miles already without ap- parent diminution in quantity or quality. Samples have been sent to Denver for complete analysis.

Capt. E. J. A. Paddy Burke for whom several planes have been searching, is safe among the Liard River Indians. His plane was spotted last week and it was definitely learned that he had made a forced landing without injury to his plane. Snowshoe wireless from the Lizard River country indicates that Burke and his companions were not se- riously injured by their forced landing about six weeks ago.
 That section is without tele- graph service and word of the safety of Burke and companions was brought to Hazelton, B. O., by Indians.

Throughout the entire United States, labor unions and other labor organizations and individ- uals are mourning the death of Mother Mary Jones-100-year old militant crusader for the rights of laboring men. She died in her home in Maryland on the 20th day of November,
 For more then 50 years, Moth CT Jones was a f5rceful charac- ter in labor circles with a follow ing which was always sincerely earnest. Wherever strikes and labor troubles came, there could be found Mother Jones with her biting eloquent tongue. At times she crossed the will of the high er-ups in the labor world and still her following did not dimi- nish. Her most spectacular acti- vities were in the Colorado coal mine strikes and in the coal fields of Virginia and the cotton mills of the South. She saw plen- ty of hardship andsuffering and took part in many conflicts and made considerable history in the annals of the labor world.

Wiu Stage Indian
 Costume Folk Dance

The Alaska Native SisterhoOd IS planning to stage an old cos tune Indian Dance, in the Mac Gregor Theatre on the 18th of this month. This is for the purpose of securing funds to carry on with their local pro gram for the year.
 Only a few of the older Thlin- oct people of Petersburg and other towns can still sing the old Indian songs and dance the old dances. They are fast becoming hu+ vague memory as modern civilization with it's thin veneer stens in with ether things to fake the time and attention Of the younger folk. However enough Of the older people re- main in Petersburg to drill the younger in song and dance an6 this will be put before tI.o local people as above indicated
 The lore of the totem is nC longer understood by even tho Thlinget people themselves and their language is fast dis lppe9-- ing. Tn the course of the next fifty years it is not improbable that the only records o: these folk songs and dances will be what has been recorded hy the phonograph and motion picture The past ten years the prCgres: of these people has been mos noticeable. Ten years back the records of the Bureau Of EIdCa- tion show that there was all average daily attendance Of only 67 per cent and most of the families were remaining out of town on most any kind of excuse and thereby keeping the children out of school. Last year the school records indicate an aver age daily attendance of 95 per cent with much larger enroll ment than ever. Which means the early death of the native language, ideas and customs. Which also means the greater assimilation in the body polite in civic affairs.

Orphange ProUided
 For Younger Children

In his report to the Secretary of the Interior last year, Hon. William John Cooper, U. s. Com missioner of Education indicat- ed that he did not favor admiS- sion of smaller children to the Territorial industrial schools. He believed that the efficiency of each institution would be better served by enrolling only the old CT pupils. Under the general Sys- tenn little tots were enrolled so that such schools became in fact orphanages or homes for the lit tie tots.
 In keeping with this recom- mendation, one of the buildings of old Fort Gibbon has been op- ened as an orphanage for Alas kan orphans and other homeless children too young for school.
 Hereafter attendance at the territorial industrial schools will be limited to students of suit able age, while a matron and nurses will care for the younger brothers and sisters.
 Ninety three schools and 195 teachers were maintained during the past year for 3,899 pupils The enrolment in the bureau schools being approximately r. 900 less than enrolment in the territorial schools.

Territorial Tax Case to Co
 10 .. s. Supreme Court

The territorial tax of $250 on
 each nonresident trOlIer has been declared unconstitutional
 by the Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. The suit a. gainSt the tax was started in Juneau last year by Wood Free man of Seattle, backed by the Seattle TrollerS' Association which is financing the suit. De- ciSion rendered by Judge Justin w. Harding of the U. $. District Court for this Division was in favor of the Territory. Freeman carried the case on an appeal to the Circuit Court in San Fran cisco. Recently Attorney Gener- al John Rustgard went to San Francisco to appear for the Ter riJory in the case. Decision rend- cred last week declared the tax constitutional.
 After a conference between Attorney General Rustgard and Governor George A. Parks, it was announced that the Territory would carry the case on to the United States Supreme Court.
 Speaking of the case MT. Rust gard stated that the Alaska Packers Association intervened III the case, filing a brief in the Court which was Serv- cd on the Attorney General upon his arrival in San Francis e.. This benevolent corporation alleges that it employees some 4,000 fishermen in Alaska and that the effect of the tax would be to destroy it's business and render it's property valueless. Counsel for packers also made
