The Scottish Rite Masons of Juneau
will meet next Wednesday night to
consider the proposition of purchasing
a site for a Scottish Rite temple. From

BEHRENDS TO BUILD
NEW POSTOfflCE
D. M. Behrends has been awarded
a five year contract beginning October
1, 1914, to furnish the government a
building for tho Juneau postofflce. The
contract will be accepted and the build
ing erected on Third street between
the new Behrends bank building and
the Surveyor General's office, and di
rectly opposite the Juneau Furniture
company's store. The new postofflce
building will bo erected immedately
| at the same time and in conjunction
,wlth the bank building. Both are to
[be of modern concrete and steel con
struction. The postofflce building will
be absolutely fireproof.
The building will occupy a space 50
x 50 and will be constructed with tho
view of serving for mercantile pur
poses when the lease expires or the
government gets through with it Tho
awarding of the lease for the building
involves the expenditure of between
$4,000 and $5,000 for boxes fittings and
furnishings, on the part of Mr. Behr
ends. Tie has assumed the burden of
doing this without asking the assist
ance of anyone. The government was
for a long time doubtful of getting
suitable location pending the con
struction of the new Federal building
and Mr. Behrends' action was undoubt
edly a great relief.
The new location for the postofflce
is central and a natural focal point.
WILL OPEN EWING
STREET AT ONCE
! Ewing street is to be opened at!
once from Front street to Gastineau
avenue. The street committee was di
rected by resolution at last night's
session of the city council to open the
street and were given full power to
act with a limit on expenditure not
to exceed $150. This action was taken
on petition of Robert Hurley and R.
\V. Wulzen who have recently complet
ed an apartment house in that neigh
borhood.
Mr. Hurley, who was present, made
a very earnest address to the council
on the subject and said that if the
street was not opened that they
would have no means of getting water
or sewer connection. He said that they
would be willing to donate at least a
part of the expense of building the
sewer.
Councilman Britt was of the opin
ion that the street committee should
not be tied down to so small a sum.
but it developed that there are so
many demands for streets to be open
ed that in each instance a limit must
be set.

Impressive little touch in the artistic
work of the decorators. While the
dance was an informal affair the beau
tiful gowns of the ladies present great
ly enhauced the sceno.
Tho music furnished by the famous
Juneau orchestra under the direction
of Prof. J. Sumpf was all that could
be desired, and encores were gener

dred tickets to the ball were sold. Ev
ery seat in the balcony was taken and

PETITIONERS ASK
FOR NEW ROADWAY
At last night's session of the city
council a petition with 120 signatures
was presented in the interest of the
residents along the waterfront of
court house hill, asking the city to
open a thoroughfare from the Pacific
Coast dock at the foot of Main street
to Indian street, and to construct a
roadway over the same. The peti
tion recited to some length the necessi
ty for such action being taken and the
just demand of the petitioners for the
benefit sought.
After a thorough discussion on the
matter it was referred to the street
committee. The main obstacles to
be overcome will be the objections i
of the interior department to crossing
any of the Indian lands in Auk village
and permission to use a portion of the
property of the Pacific Coast company.
Agent S. H. Ewing of the Pacific Coast ,
company was present and volunteered
to take the matter up with the com
pany and said that he believed that
a temporary passage way over the
property could bo arranged for until
such time as the waterfront boule
vard now being outlined could be con
structed.
Mayor Reck Informed the petition
ers who were present that the city
would go as far as possible with the
road but that it was not likely that
their hopes could be realized in full
now.

WASHINGTON, May 1.?Mrs. An
toinette Funk, chairman of the Con

SENATE TO FIGHT OVER
NEW COLOMBIAN TREATY
?+? ?
WASHINGTON. May 2.?It is be
lieved that the Senate foreign rela
tions committee will favorably report
tho new treaty with Colombia giving
that country free use of the Panama
canal for government vessels connect
ed with the army and navy and $25,
000.000 in money as payment for the
Panama canal zone, but that tnere will
be a light in the Senate over the
adoption of it
Many Senators regard the first sec
tion of the treaty to be an apology
from the United States for its course
in connection with the Panama rebel
lion.
Senator Charles S. Thomas, of Col
orado, answering a criticism by Sena
tor George C. Perkins, of California,
said we ought to apologize, for "the
United States shamefully violated its
treaty with Colombia at the time of the
breaking of Panama from that coun
try. We encouraged if we did not cre
ate a revolution on the part of Pan
ama."
SENATOR BORAH AGAINST
NATIONAL PROHIBITION
WASHINGTON, May 1. ? Senator
