BOARD SELECTS
 | SITKA AS SITE FOR NEW HOME
Vote Four to One-Hesse Auth orized to Get.
 Data on Architect

Sitka will continue to be the location of the Pioneers Home This was definitely decided yes terday at a meeting of the Pion- eers' Home Building Commission when that body voted four to one to construct in that town the new $225 ,OO0 institution, authorized by the Alaska Legislature last Spring as a work relief project.
 The decision of the Commission was announced today by Highway Engineer w. A. Hesse, Chairman of the Commission. The vote was by secret ballot, four being cast for Sitka and one for Anchorage.
 Plans Come Next
 The next step, it was announce ed, will be to obtain the services of a competent architect. The Commission yesterday authorized the Chairman to obtain all the available information relative to filling that position. When that is done, plans and specifications will be made ready.
 It is proposed to construct the new institution on the site occu- pied by the Home at present. The land is owned by the Federal government, but the Department concerned has already approved of legislation to effect it's trans fer to the Territory. However, it is believed that this may not be necessary. It is said that the President, under the National Re- covery Act, has authority to trans fer title to land acquired by the Government to States for building purposes and Delegate Dimond has been asked to ascertain if this will not extend to the site of the Sitka home.
 Will Crafty Residents
 Most of the residents of the Home will be highly gratified with the Commissions action. It was right in line with a vote recently taken at the institution. The ballots were mailed in sealed box to the Commission and was opened at the meeting yesterday. When tailed the count was: For Sitka, 70, Anchorage l6, Wran- gell 6, Skagway 2, Douglas 3, and Craig l.
 The Commissions records show ed the following endorsements for Sitka: Haines City Council. Ket- chikan Chamber of Commerce, Hyder Chamber of Commerce, Pet ersburg City Council and Cham Der of Commerce, Nome City Coun- cil, Pioneers of Alaska of Ju- neau, Cordova Chamber of Com merce, Seward Chamber of Com merce, Craig Chamber of Com merce, which favored Craig only if Sitka was not to be considered, and the Valdez Chamber of Com merce.
 Fourteen Igloos of the Pioneers of Alaska, in 1892, passed reso- lutions favoring Anchorage. Those were: Anchorage, Nome, Fair banks, Valdez, Wiseman, Flat, Panama, Nenana, Kodiak, Cordova, Dillingham;, Kanakanak, Snag Point and Bethel.
 Next Meeting Unset
 No date was fixed for the next meeting of the Commission. It is subject to the call of the Chair man.
 The full membership, comprising MT. Hesse, Auditor Frank A. Boyle, Secretary, Attorney General J. s. Truitt, Commissioner of Education A. E. Karnes and Treasurer w. G. Smith, were present at yes terday'S meeting.

Beer Captures the House.
(New York Herald Tribune.)

(NeW 4Ofk Herald lTlpunel
 Amid the general rejoicing that will undoubtedly acclaim the passage by the House of the Collier beer bill it should be borne in mind that far this action is little than noble gesture. The gentlemen of the Senate less responsive rule to public sentiment, must get their whack at the measure and then it must be submitted for the approval of the President Needless to say, shall not have beer by Christmas notwithstanding the vote in the House.
 However, that vote alone is a considerable Christi mas present. Not only the majority in favor of the bill, but the fact that every amendment to it's sensible provisions defeated is indication that the mandate of the electorate, expressed last month has commanded respect, even from assembly of lame ducks" previously dry. The real significance of yesterdays showing be measured only in comparison with the last vote a beer bill in the House This was in May when the motion came up to discharge the Ways and Means Committee from further consideration of the OConnor- Hull bill to legalize and tax brew con- taining PTS per cent. of alcohol by weight. The motion was defeated by a vote of 228 to 169 A
 little better than a complete reversal therefore, recorded in favor of the Collier bil which incident ally would legalize heavier beer-3.2 per cent of alcohol by weight
 But it is also interesting to note that in the case both of the OConnor- Hull bill and of the Collier bill the support received fell short of that registered for repeal resolution shortly preceding it. The House had voted in March, 227 to 187, against dis charging it's Judiciary Committee from further con- sideration of the Beck-Linthcum resolution for qualified repeal giving the motion eighteen more votes than it subsequently, recorded in favor of the OConnor-Hull modification And on December 5 it voted 272 to IA for the Garner resolution for straight repeal compared with 230 to 165 for the Collier bill Here is evidence that there exists in Congress, there undoubtedly does in the coun try at large stronger sentiment for repeal than for modification. This is a wholesome sign, since there be settlement of the Prohibition issue short of repeal, and any tendency among modif catonists to delay repeal must be nipped in the bud
 Indeed, there is excuse for modification at this time except as a means of raising substantial revenue for a sorey- pressed Treasury. We have already commended the Collier bill the most likely of all the modficationst measures proposed to accomplish this purpose while avoiding the con- stutonal pitfalls in the path of such legislation For this glad it passed the House without amendmnet and correspondingly disappont- ed that so many Republicans should again oppose an act which both circumstances and the people so clearly demand. There seems to be something pathological in the psychology of flame ducks

THE ALASKA JUNEAU.

The Alaska Juneau's local expenditures last year were S1 eo9OOO of which the payroll amounted to s1 129200o The expenditures were at the rate of more than s15O0O0 a month with a payroll of more than $1070o0 monthly.
 This more than any other thing is what makes Juneau and Gastineau Channel prosperous and glVcs the assurance of a brilliant future for the com munity This steady stream of gold flowing rom our own hills into the channels of trade, industry and commerce of all kinds is better than money coming in response to speculation or real estate and mining booms It is substantial and makes certain 6 necessary continuity to the community. The golo stream reaches all branches of business and con- tributes to local and Territorial taxes. It builds up bank assets and makes available money TOT enterprises and improvements of all sorts
 Tn addition to this sum flowing into the chan nels of Southeast Alaska trade the Alaska Juneau paws out a considerable in dividends to Alas kans and has built up a surplus which it uses freely in prospecting other properties in the Terri tory The Alaska Juneau is Alaska's most sup- stantia single asset It deserves all the encourage ment that can be extended to it.

CHAPTER 45. SANTA TAKES A RIDE

Next morning, when Give had departed for business, Santa lay in bed pondering. He'd been sweet but she knew now that the vel vet scabbard concealed a sword of cutting keenness. She would never again dare to take chanc- es with him. It had been scenes like the quarrel of last night that had broken up her first mar riage.
 Lazily she began to dress, flirt- ing with her reflection. Of her physical self she approved heart ily-haunting eyes, snowy limbs, darting slightness. If it were not for her gimcrack mind she would pass for saint or the Venus de Milo. Speech betrayed her. Clothes misrepresented her.
 The vision of her beauty restor- ed her confidence till she fell to analyzing it's elements. One third of her appearance was the money she spent on it; the second third was youth and health; only the remaining third was due to feat lires.
 She might lose her money. So natural an incident as the birth of a child could snatch her youth and health from her. If she re- lied on her physical exquisiteness to retain her hold on Give, she would become like her mother a dyed-headed clothes prop, hanging on to a husband whom she had educated to despise her
 "I'll never do that to Give" {" Then proud thought struck her Couldn't. He wouldn't let me Gives not Daddy"
 He certainly wasn't. To heave Dicky off his chest, he'd had the nerve to conspire with Lou-Lou.
 I'll have to watch my p's and q's."
 Purged by her fright, sancti- fled and demure, she sailed forth. The elevator boy smirked at her.
 That gentleman your husband tossed out has been here inquir- ing for you
 What gentleman?p she bridled. 2 The plump one who carries a cane and wears spats. Your hus- band gave orders that he wasn't to be admitted"
 70, that gentleman who used to visit my husband" She feign- ed indifference.
 T was only putting you wise" the boy apologized.
 She flounced out and left him gaping. How many observers had regarded Dicky as her lover? AS she hovered on the steps above the avenue, she shivered in the chill February air.
 A taxi stationed against the pavement caught her eye. She dived for it and was on the point of entering, when a hand seized her wrist and jerked her inside.
 Don't make fuss" a voice warned her.
 She struggled to retreat, but the taxi started.
 You beast! When Give hears about this"
 He won't. You'll never dare tell him.
 Its the trick of a gangster,s , her breath came sobbingly.
 An act of Providence. I was lying in ambush, hoping that might catch sight of you. Your walking bang in on me was pure ly luck.' He still kept tight hold of her wrist. Sit back and relax. If you don't behave naturally, the driver will become suspicious
 She thought quickly Virtue de- manded that she should scream and produce scandal. Dicky would be arrested. Headlines in the papers. Police-court proceed ings. The prisoners defence would be that she had led him on. The elevator boy, who believed that he was her lover, would be called as a witness. Lou-Lou would probably testify against her.
 Public sympathy would swing to Dicky. Whatever the punish ment, her reputation would be b1ackened. All Gives protests

The Status of Hawaii.
Cincinnati Enquir'er)

Gov Lawrence M Judd of the Territory of Hawaii, has issued significant statement, timed to the opening of the lame duck Congress in which he makes a commendable defense of the capacity of Hawaii to govern itself and an appropriate warn ing against nasty legislation designed to weaken Hawaii's control it's affairs.
 Since the annexation of Hawaii it has been accorded wide measure of self-government, as befits a Territory removed from the continental United States and populated by distinct racial group Under that semi-autonomous government Hawaii has prospered economically and has main tained good conditions of education, health and public order.
 Merely because or two peculiarly unpleasant crimes called attention to the islands last Spring there have been earnest efforts in Congress to revise the status of Hawaii and provide for centralization of power oyer Hawaiian internal affairs in the Washington bureaucracy No more shortsighted step could be imagined than this.
 The Hawaiian Territorial Government has al- ready corrected most of the unsatisfactory condi- tions formerly existent in the islands and is on the way to a complete renovation. Interference from Washington offciadom, beyond the salutary measure of control maintained through the Gov ernor would be grave handicap to Hawaii and a black mark against the principles of self-gov- ernment which the American people have embraced.
