UaiMntaa nnmnrco !? i ^ g ^ m Both Houses Now Debating Alaska Bill + l< WASHINGTON. Jan. lo. ? Both Houses of Congress are now giving most of their time to the debate on the Alaska railroad bills. The House ^ reached the bill yesterday, and Dele- ( gate James Wlckersham again opened ] the debate for the bill in the House, j supporting his own measure. Approaches Gravity of Crime. : Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Mon- ? tana, closed his eloquent speech with ' the statement: "To keep the resources ' of Alaska longer locked up approach- J es the gravity of crime." Wickei-sham Attacks Guggenheims. | In speaking before the House Dele-;a gate Wickersham said that lobbyists ^ of the Guggenheims are at Washing-; t ton working against the passage of his, u bill 11 !a EBNER DEFENSE IN WATER EIGHT I l-ast night. the third night session of c the district court in the great battle s between the Alaska-Juneau company ' and the Alaska-Ebner company over the right to Gold creek water, was r marked by the termination of the Sd plaintiff's case and the introduction e of the principal testimony for the de- I fense. 8 H. T. Tripp, who was employed in 1908 by the parties in control of the 1 Ebner property, was the first witness,c and he gave a detailed account of the'8 early efforts looking toward the ex- a pansion of operations by building a 1 larger mill farther down Gold creek 0 and by the boring of a new tunnel * from a point below Shady Bend e through the mine. In 1909 Mr. Tripp 1 testified he was placed in possession ll of the property for the purpose of plan nlng and bringing about means of op erating the mines on a larger scale. c Several sites for the mill were consid- s ered but the Shady Bend site was se- ? lected according to his testimony. He r also employed H. L. Wollenberg, now chief engineer of the Alaska-Gastineau * company to assist in working out the 1 plans and according to the testimony 8 on June 20, 1910. as a step toward the 1 consummation of the plans, posted a 1 notice at the old Ebner dam. claiming f 10,000 inches more water for mining ' and milling purposes. Mr. Tripp left c the employ of the company in August, f 1910, being succeeded by George Bent.: -- -? . .It Angus aiacaay. present receiver in - charge of the property for the Ebner ' company, testified to having been en- e gaged June 1. 1910, to build a 200 - 9 stamp mill and Install it on the prop- a erty. The mill timbers were framed in 1 Seattle, the work commencing in July. That same month he was called to Ju neau to consult about the mill site, ac cording to his testimony; Manager Bent, already in Juneau, decided upon the Shady Bend site, which is about 75 feet distant from the spot chosen by Mr. Tripp and near where workj had been started by him on the pro posed tunnel. Mr. Mackay said he ^ went below with the Bent party after ' giving instructions to Hill and Wet trick. on August 3. to survey the pres- 1 ent flume line; that pending the com-j1 pletion of the flume, power was obtain- f ed from the old compressor below thej4 Ebner mill and drills started on the ! present tunnel in January. 1911. The ' flume was completed in December, ( 1910. but since that time had been in- ( creased in capacity by adding eight J inches to the sides. Water was first ' carried through the flume according to 1 hiB testimony in 1911, but no practi cal use was made of It until August. ' 1913, when machinery, ordered in 1910, ] was Installed. During Mr. Mackay's testimony the 1 physical conflict between the contest ing companies for the control of the ' water was slightly touched upon. The hearing was continued until to- ' night.

Discussing what it with considerable .?nthusiasm characterizes as the "con itructive" report of Secretary of the nterior Lane, and particularly that portion of the report which recom uends that there should be "treatry kgreements" between the separate States and the Federal government as .0 the management of the public do uain that lies within those States, the San Francisco Chronicle says: "There is but one sovereign in Amer ca and that is the whole people. The ?'ederal government represents the overeignty as to certain functions and he State governments as to other tunc ions. The term "treaty" is therefore < in appropriate name by which to des- 1 gnate an arrangement between State . ind Federal government in respect to 1 lisputed claims of authority. "The report of Secretary of the In- 1 erior Lane both in its conciliatory I anguage and in its statement of the t ssues opens the way to such a settle- I nent. With most of the proposals of I iecretary Lane the West will be found 1 a hearty accord. "In the States the Federal govern- I neut, except as to functions expressly I leiegated to it, represents no sover- ! lgnty whatever. It represents pro- 1 trietorship, and nothing else, with re- 1 ipect to the public domain. I "And one thing which the West ought 1 o insist on with no compromise what- 1 ?ver is that the Federal government I hall cease right now to make any ? ittempt to use its rights as proprietor < o in any way affect or modify the 1 operation of the general laws of the I itate. When, as a proprietor, it grants 1 asement there should be no strings o them, and. like other proprietors. Its ' and should be subject *.0 the State aw of eminent domain. "But there is a twilight zone growing ?ut of the Federal proprietorship in re- ! pect to which representatives of the t itate and Federal governments should I legotiate a treaty. j "The enactments which resulted in i ?'ederal proprietorship would be tem- < ?orary. It was expected that the Fed- ' iral government would sell the land, i naking use of the money as it deemed 1 >est. It was not imagined that any >ublic land would remain permanently 1 n public ownership, and therefore that 1 ontingency was not provided for. It ' las to be provided for now. I "The people of the West will insist hat this provision be made in the spir- 1 t of the enactments under which Fed ral title was obtained and not in the pirit of recent Federal executive? ind to some extent judicial?assump- 1 ion of Federal supremacy to the State. 1 "The States concede that under their I >wn agreement they cannot tax the ' tublic domain, but they protest against < iny suw interpretation o." the law hat great areas of land within their joundaries?in this State about one hird of the area?shall be forever re eased from obligation to contribute to he States revenue. Nor will a Federal lole of a portion of the revenue sat sfy the States. H ',nnl Jo rn/>A(?. lilt* rvuvrai yiuyiivwioujir ?w ?vwft lized. If extinguished compensation nust be made. The object of the sug jested treaty should be to determine >n what terms Federal proprietorship thall be extinguished, in so far as to >ermit the States, having made due :ompensatlon to the United States, to >btain revenue according to their own udgment from the public lands. Sev ;ral plans could be suggested which A-ould be just to all. "With the spirit of Secretary Lane's tddress the West is in hearty accord. It ought from the beginning to have been made impossible for any one to acquire land except to be immediately put to beneficial use or its resources conserved for the future under well-de fined obligations. There is no West ern objection to applying that prin ciple to what remains of the public do main. Both as to conserving public rights and encouraging private enter prise the West is in accord with Secre tary Lane. "And. above all. the West will most heartily assent to Secretary Lane's suggestion that the public domain should be, as to a small extent it now is, administred under co-operative agreement and participation between Nation and States.

Hussey, who was in Juneau last 1 month in connection with the work of the Scottish Rite Masons, has been chosen president of the Engineers' 8 club, of Seattle. Mr. Hussey was con- f nected with the engineering stafT of 11 the White Pass railroad in its con- a struction days. , , , b KETCHIKAN ANXIOUS n - ABOUT "TOM AND AL" J An inquiry from Ketchikan express es grave fears for the safety of the a gasoline fishing schooner "Tom and 0 Al," which was last seen December 23 it Yakutat, since which time the craft C has been unreported. The Helgeland, ilso a fishing boat, was in Juneau a few days ago and reported seeing sev eral fishing vessels oft' Yakutat but 11 they were so far away that the iden- a tity of the different craft could not be 81 made out. Waterfront men in Juneau believe Cl that the "Tom and Al" is safe. It of- ^ ten happens that fishing craft are com- 0 polled to stay out several weeks in or- s' Jer to get a catch. The banks off Yak- vv itat are not regular In formation and IT the feeding grounds of the halibut are somewhat scattered and the fishing (1 spotted according to men engaged in the business. The "Tom and Al" is C considered a staunch and seaworthy craft, by men In the trade about Ju aeau, and little anxiety is manifested here over the fact that the craft has cl been out a few weeks unreported. ji ^ ^ I ff 'YUKON MONEY LOOKED J' BOGUS," SAYS SCHNABEL ?+? ? It W. F. Schnabcl, former deutp mar- d thai at Wrangell, arrived in Juneau on b the Mariposa from Seattle whence he d dad gone on a vacation after many j a: >-ears. Mr. Schnabcl says that there jc a something wrong with the "spirit" j k iown there, for they refused to take: B 'Yukon" money when it was tendered for admission to a moving picture 1 show. "They used to grab at any kind of money," said Schnabcl, shaking his P dead; "there's certainly something F wrong with them or else they thought cj the money was bogus." t! li DRDER ALASKA NATIVE BROTHERHOOD PERFECTED E ?*|* 0! Word has been received in Juneau ii of the successful launching of a branch of the Native Alaska Brother- ii bood, to be known as Wrangell Camp, o The organization at Wrangell starts tl off with thirty-five members and it was perfected into working conditions last S week. 11 The matter of bringing this great Alaska Indian fraternity into being o was brought up during the convention fi of native Alaska Indians held in Ju- g neau some weeks ago. At that time a charter roll for Juneau Camp was made up consisting of 25 charter mem bers.
