Twelve councllmen were elected, all
of them Indians except Rev. Mr. Beck,
and the ordinances that they pass are j
obeyed to the letter.

and the use of liquor has absolutely
disappeared.

PIERCED AT 2 A. M.
The wall separating Sheep Creek
basin from the Perseverance mine and
Gold Creek basin was pierced at two
o'clock this morning, and two hours
later the opening was made large
enough for men to pass through. Tho
tunnel was found to be perfect in align
ment. laterally and in elevation.
INSERT MAYBE
This morning Col. D. C. Jackling.
vice president, and B. L. Thane, gen
eral manager of the Alaska Gastineau
Mining company, accompanied by B.
M. Behrends went to Sheep Creek. The
party will pass through the tunnel aud
into the Perseverance mine, inspecting
the work that has been accomplished.
They will return home by way of Gold
creek and the basin road.
Establishing the lines of the tunnel
is considered one of the best exhibi
tions of engineering skill displayed in
the North. The distance across the
mountain was never taped. The lines
were established by a system of tri
angulation made by J. A. Wilcox, of
the engineering staff. The Sheep
Creek tunnel lines were carried
through by H. R. Ward, and the Perse
verance lines by A. M. Chamberlain,
both of the engineering staff.

verance mine down Gold creek to Ju
neau. thence dowrt the coast line to
Sheep Creek, thence up the basin to
the tunnel portal, a total distance of'
approximately 12 miles.

the first hole pierced the wall. Pad
dy O'Neil's men drove a drill through
the center of the face, which was im
mediately seized by the Perseverance
crew. A spirited tug of war ensued
between the tunnel crews in which
the Perseverance boys were the victors
and they carried the steel away with
them, and have It cached in the club \
rooms of the Perseverance as a tro-1
nhv.

Clark Made Fight of Life.
WASHINGTON, April 1.? Speaker

e to forestall what he termed "un
lestlonable degradation." He said "I
n aware that this fight may end my

?e assemblage, those favoring the bill
id those opposing, including all par
's and many Senators, who occupied
.its on the floor of the House, rose
id cheered the venerable speaker
Clark Not Presidential Candidate.
In closing. Speaker Clark put to rest
e gossip about his becoming a can
late for President. He said: "I
ve never hinted to any human be
k that I would be a Persidentlal can
late In 1916. 1 am not a candidate.
President Wilson makes a success
his administration he will be re
minuted and re-elected In 1916, but
lie makes a failure, which God for
t, the nomination will not be worth
wing."
The climax of the speech came with
e last sentence, which was: "We de
?e pe: ce with all Nations, but we
II buy peace with none. Neither le
lly nor technically does this treaty
rbid us to regulate the transportation
our own goods in our own ships
rough our own canal between our
i'n ports."

tion. .
WASHINGTON. April 1.?One of the
?cat and most schollarly speeches
the debate was that in support of
e passage of the bill by Represen
live William C. Adaaison, of Geor
i. In a masterly and convincing ar
ment. he showed that a treaty which
e present administration was not re
onslble for prohibited the United
ates from placing the whole bur
11 of the canal's operation upon for
?n commerce He said that the
rengtli of the United States, Its con
iousness and the world's knowledge
its ability to break the treaty with
*eat Britain and run the canal in any
antier that it sees fit is complete
iswer to all the jibes of cowardice
at the enemy has hurled at the ad
inlstration. "The brave, courageous
ing to do among Nations as with in
viduals," he said, "is to do right. The
ward is he, who knowing his duty
fuses to correct a wrongful act be
use of fear that he may be taunted
weakness."
The suporters of the administration
tacked the economic soundness of
ee tolls, claiming that it provides
lip subsidies indirectly, something
hich Congress has time after time
rued down when submitted as a di
et proposition, and that it is con
ary to the spirit of tariff reduction.
