Spirited contests within the ranks of the United Italian Republican club for official posts in the organ ization are to develop when the an- nual election of officers takes place in a few weeks, 1t was learned on good authority to-day.

 Louis Schiavone, the present president of the United club, the mother organization Of Italian re- publicans in the city, is not to seek reelection. With this an assured fact. two factions in the United club have jumped into the gap and are each attempting to put across their respective candidates for the pres idency

 Just what effect the passive stand of the W. c. T. U. in Water bury and the fifth congressional district as a whole will have on Congressman E. W. Goss' majority next November Is the question re- ceiving much attention at the hands of political leaders at the present time. Realizing that most of the w. c. T. U. subscribe to g.o.p. membership, 1t Is feared by the republicans that there is much to dread because if they vote blank on congressman as a silent protest to MT Goss' stand on the wet ques- ton the democratic candidate will benefit greatly and stands an excel lent chance of carrying the fifth district.
 This is due to the fact that while the democratic candidate for Congress from this district will also be a wet, he will not stand to lose any votes in his party. Therefore, with a blank vote cast in "protest" by the drys of the district, the re- publican candidate is expected to loss and his loss will be a gain for tho democratic candidate who will receive the full support of his party.
 Congressman Goss is not the only one worrying about this situa- ton, according to reports. Other Connecticut republicans in Con- gress, including Senator Hiram Bingham, Congressman John Q. rilson of the third district and Congressman Richard Freeman of the second district, are also said to be considering this angle of the 1892 campaign very seriously.
 As for the remaining two con- gressmen from Connecticut, Judge William L. Tierney of the fourth district and Attorney Augustine Lonergan of the first district, they are democrats and have the assur-

FR|C|DA|RE NOW GIVING
 GUARANTEES
Three Year Complete Serv- ice Is Announced by
 Juneau Agent

A three year complete service guarantee covering both the me chanism and the cabinet will apply to the 1881 Frigidaire advanced line of household electric refriger- ators, w. P. Johnson, local dealer, said today.
 This radically new dual pledge Of owner satisfaction" he sad, IS the broadest in the history of our corporation. It has been adopted because of the experience with the current models and the fact that all household models are finished in permanent porcelain on steel.
 Speaking of the advanced line, MT. Johnson said: "The new line is the result of the most intensive and devoted effort the factory ever put into product. In designing and building it there was but single aim-that it should present tho outstanding value in the electric refrigeration world today. It is because of this value we are able to offer it's remarkable dual guar antee.
 Such features as lower operat- ing cost, faster freezing ice cubes, more pounds of ice per freezing, larger shelf area and greater power distinguish the new models. In addition there is an acid-resisting interior of porcelain, the result of years of intensive research.
 Throughout the mechanical unit and the cabinet, the maker has in- troduced time proved features that make the new models distinct and important contributions to electric refrigeration. Recent dealer meet ings held throughout the country indicate a decided upturn in busi- ness during the coming months

COMPILATION OF LAWS APPROVED
 IN THE SENATE
Appropriation of $l2,000 Asked for Legal End

The first concrete step toward compiling and codifying the laws If Alaska was taken this morning when the Senate Judiciary Com mittee reported Q substitute meas Ure for Bill No. 10, introduced by Senator Alfred Lcmen and the late Senator John w. Dunn, and recommended it's passage.
 The substitute authorizes the Governor to expend $12,0OO in pre- pairing the Compiled Laws. Of Alas ka and the statutes passed by the several Legislatures, either by let ting a contract CT employing com petent persons under Territorial supervision.
 All of the ia-,7-5 mentioned would be arranged as to subject matter, compiled and annotated in succinct form. Included in the compilation, also, would be the Constitution Of the United States, the treaty of cesSion from Russia and Organic Act of the Territory. All laws that have been repealed would be omitted
 As finally arranged, the con- pilation would be in shape for sub mission to the Legislature in 1883, with recommendations for any ne- cessary revisions or repeal statutes to put it in shape for publishing. No printing is contemplated under the present bill, which would leave the provision for publication in the hands of the next session.
 Senate Bill No. 16, authorizing direct appropriation of $10,000 and an additional grant of a similar amount from the Third Divisions road allotment for rehabilitation of the dyke protecting the town of Valdez, was reported favorable to- day by the Senate Finance Com mittee The Territorial grants are conditional upon an allotment of $3O,OOO from Federal funds for the same project.

TODAY'S Daily Menu" has been
L worked out to give maximum
food value at minimum cost.
While the age and occupation of
each member of family deter
mines his food requirement. the
average family of two adults and
two children will find the follow
ing menus adequate for all. The
simple process of elimination will
make it suitable for anyone who
wants less food.
In the breakfast menu, a cook
Led whole grain cereal is suggested.
This type of cereal gives the most
food value for the money. A sec
ond hot dish is not planned. but
extra large servings of the cereal
are given and cream is served.
The luncheon menu follows the
rule of developing the flavor of
bland foods as much as possible
and including some highly favored
foods in the menu.
Salisbury steak is bit more
aristocratic than hamburg steak
but uses the same round steak in
its makeup. Put round steak
through food chopper twice. Sea-
son well, using one teaspoon salt
and is teaspoon pepper for each
pound of meat. Make into round
fiat cakes and broil in fine wire
broiler under or over a clear
flame.
Creamed potatoes are chosen in
the dinner menu for the amount of
milk they add to the dietary. Keep
in mind that skinned milk can
be used to excellent advantage in
cooking where strict economy must
be practiced.
The dinner dessert is particular
ly "seasonable" when fresh apples
are becoming rather high and
