reports are coming in g. =. from
owners who say that the big.

giving amazing gasoline mile

Boil All Drinking Water Is
Warning Issued by Wat
err Company Today
100 FEET OF STEEL
PIPE USED IN REPAIR
Auxiliary System Expected
to Be in Operation
Late This Afternoon

Juneau's main water supply was
cut off shortly after 9 o'clock this
morning when a blast, set by the
Mendenhall Construction Company
on the Basin Road to remove
rocks, hurled an avalanche of rock
and debris down onto the water
main along Gold Greek and caved
in more than rs feet of pipe line.
r. F. Lewis, President of the Wa
ter Company, said it would require
a 100 feet of 15-inch steel pipe to
repair the damage. Fortunately, he
said, the company has that much
pipe on hand at this time.
1t will require several days to
repair the damage, it was stated.
and in the meantime hookup was
being made with the Alaska Ju-
neau system to carrying over the
emergency, 1t was anticipated the
water from this source would start
coming in about o'clock this af-
iernoon
Due to the tact that the
Urgency supply is going
through salt mater mains iphich
loiH need to be mashed out, eU-
cry one is advised by the Water
Company to boil all drinking

Alfred and Dave. Dishaw of the
construction company were throw
ing their force onto the work of
removing the slide and getting
things in shape to have the repairs
made with the greatest dispatch.
The slide occurred approximately
half way between the city end of
the Basin Road and the bridge
across Gold Creek. The construc-
ton company has the contract
from the Bureau of Public Roads
for STRENGTHENING and repairing the
road. and work has been going on
for some weeks.
Several other blasts have been
made to remove rock and Mr.. Lewis
of the Water Company said this
morning that he had issued the fol-
lowing notice to the contractors
This is to notify you that we do
not approve the plan you are fol-
lowing in removal of rock on the
Basin Road. We understand you
contemplate springing the entire
mass of rock by use of deep holes,
We are also not satisfied with the
protecting shed over our pipe line"
The notice was given yesterday,
Mr.. Lewis said.
The charge which went off this
morning was heard all over town,
and houses on the hill near the
Basin Road entrance were reported
shaken as were other buildings in
the upper side of town.

LABOR TROUBLE

Seamen and Longshoremen
Agreements ExpireDur-

WASHINGTON, July 28.-Reports
of trouble brewing in maritime Ia
Dor circles prompted the Depart
ment of Labor officials to prepare
to intervene at the first outbreak
Edward McGrady, Department
Trouble Shooter, has declined all
Labor Day speech offers. He said
he feared he would be needed on
the Pacific Coast where wage and
hour agreements between the coast
sailors and longshoremen and en-
ployers expires in September,
Negotiations for new agreements
are slated to start 80 days before
tie old pacts expire.
Officials feel the negotiations
probably will be complicated by
war between the old line unionists
and the young left winger sea-
men.
The question is whether the
old line international Seamen's I'm
ion or the Sailors Union of the
Pacific will make the new contracts

M'COvERN HERE,
MAKING VISIT,
COVERING NORTH
Manager Alaska Dept, Sc
attic c. of c., Is Now
Studying Alaska

Foster l.. McGovern, manager OF
the Alaska Department, Seattle
Chamber of Commerce arrived in
Juneau this morning on the Yukon
for stay of several days as part
of a business tour which will take
Inn to many parts of Alaska, in
Guiding Cordova, Valdez, Seward
Anchorage, the Matanuska Valley
project, Mount Mckinley Park and
Fairbanks.
Although Mr.. McGovern has made
two previous trips to Alaska on Sc
attic Chamber of Commerce cruis-
es, he feels that he will be better
equipped to service Alaska in his
capacity with the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce by more intensive
study of the various cities of the
Territory, through remaining in
them for a longer period than that
permitted on the Chamber of Com
merce cruises.
TIC lullCJlOil VI OllC hAdohd DC-
partment is to serve and aid Alaska
in every conceivable manner" Mr.
McGovern said today. Il believe
that this trip during which I want
OF meet and talk with as many AL
askans as possible, and learn theil
problems, will help increase the
service and efficiency of the Alaska
Department. The Seattle Chamber
of Commerce has for many years
and is continuing to work for the
progress and development of Alas
ka, and I appreciate the oppor-
tunity for service afforded me, by
being sent into the Territory with
time enough to enable me to be-
come more familiar with Alaska
problems"
Mr.. McGovern, accompanied by
his young daughter, Martha, are
guests at the Governors House dur
ing their Juneau visit. Mr.. McGov-
ern and Robert Bender have been
lifelong trends. attending the
same schools in Tacoma, and later
the University of Washington.

Neighbor Meets Neighbor Theme
Marks Presidents Canadian Trip

WASHINGTON, July 28-Neigh-
borliness, in a double sense, will
attend the meeting July 81 in Que
bee of President Roosevelt and
Lord Tweedsmuir, Governor Gen
eral of Canada.
They direct the governments of
adjoining nations whose relations
for decades have been of the friend
liest. In addition, the President
has a summer home on Campo
bello Island, New Brunswick, few
hundred yards over the Canadian
border There he actually is
neighbor to the Governor Generals
people.
AS Governor of New York, Mr..
Roosevelt twice visited the Domin-
on during yachting trips that took
him into the Canadian waters.
Since becoming President he has
visited Canada once, informally.
In the summer of 1888 he cruised
to Campobello and stayed almost
a week.
Neighborly Nations
The Presidents and Governor
Generals respective governments
frequently have been referred to
as examples of good neighbors in
international relations. The Pres
ident himself has spoken in that
vein.
Not since the Civil War, when
the United States abrogated its
commercial treaty with Canada,
has there been serious dispute
between the two countries. Their
common border is called the
worlds longest unarmed interna-
tional boundary.
Canada is the second largest
customer for exports from the
United States, and the United
States is the second largest market
for Canada's exports.
American tourists spent ST. ,000,-
600 more in Canada in 1885 than
1884, and Canadian tourist spend
ing in the United States gained
$27 100000 in the same period.
The reciprocal trade agreement
between the United States and
Canada, completed November Is,
1885, probably will be the main
subject for official" conversation
between President Roosevelt and
Lord Tweedsmuir.
Lord Tweedsmuir, christened
John Buchan, was best known as a
writer before he was named to
represent the British Crown in
Canada. One of his latest books is
thoroughly documented biography
of Oliver Cromwell.
