JOKER FIGURES
LARGELY IN
THIS BILL
You wouldn't think, would you, that
the handsome senator from Ketchi
kan would try and put one over on his
lady friends, now would you?
But take your monocle with, you,
or, better yet, a microscope, and visit
the senate chamber and get somebody
to show you the “Community Proper
ty” bill, which the charming states
man from the fishing metropolis has
introduced.
The first section is as clear as a
bell. It provides that what the hus
band had before marriage is all his,
after marriage. And further than that
whatever he acquires after marriage
by gift, devise or descent, shall also
be his, and shall not be liable for his
wife's debts nor probably, for his
wife’s maintaining, either.
■ In the second section, the same is
provided for the wife. That is the
law now. Now the third section pro
vides that what either the husband
or the wife acquire after marriage,
except in the ways provided for in the
first and second sections, shall be
community property — fifty-fifty
stuff. But the last section is a sting
er. It provides that the community
personal property shall be under the
control of the husband, and he can
sell it any time he darn well pleases.
That is to say, that if after marriage,
the husband takes to playing solo, and
the wife takes in washing, and she
buys a new cook stove, a brussels car
pet, a piano and an automobile with
her money so earned, the bill provides
that her husband can sell it whenever
he feels like it. He can’t do it now.
Oh, yes, indeed, the bill provides that
the community personal property,
which would seem to include the
money realized from its sale, is half
hers, all right, but the “disposition” of
it is all his.
The next section provides that the
husband shall have the management
and control of the community real
estate after marriage, and be entitled
to the rents, even if that real estate
was bought from the wife’s earnings
after marriage, although he cannot
sell the community real property with
out her consent. But don’t forget that
if the husband had just a house and
lot, which constitutes the homestead,
if he acquired it before marriage, he
can, under the bill, sell that house
and lot without consulting his wife,
and turn the lady and the children
out. But the bill has a whole bag of
tricks, and all of them most interest
ing.
neally, what do you suppose Senator
Adonis, of Ketchikan — and he is cer
tainly a handsome man — is up to?—
Juneau Spokesman.

SKETCHES OF THE MEN
WHO RUN THE U. S. NAVY.
(By United Press)
WASHINGTON, April 20.—Not to be
seen, but to be heard from — when
the propert time comes.
This is the mission of the submarine
and of the chief of the United States
submarine service, Admiral A. W.i
Grant.
The taciturn chief of America’s un
derwater fleets, from his “flagship” in
the submarine flotilla, directs the
country’s U-boats in the far Pacific,
the Philippines and in whatever other
part of the world they may happen
to poke their sinister noses.
His has been the problem, since
June, 1915, of developing this rapidly
rising arm of the national defense.
Soon 38 more of these steel-bellied
denizens of the deep will be added to
his flotilla, to join the ‘invisible
fleet" which guards our shores.

TO BE STARTED IN SUMMER.
SEATTLE, April 20. — Ground for
the third new building upon the cam
pus of the University of Washington
will be broken some time in July, if
present expectations of the adminis
tration become effective. While the
finishing touches are being put on the

under way, according to present ar
rangements.
Plans and specifications for the new
hall will be drawn up at once. Con
struction bids will be advertised in the
late spring. The building will cost
|180,000, and will be ready for service

The big rotary snowplow of the
White Pass road was found to be on
fire one morning recently by Bert
Watts, a hostler in the round house.
Steam being up and the engine con

whistle for a fire alarm and then
opened her up and pushed the rotary
down to the water hydrant, where
with the assistance of others, he ex

Home Preparedness j
HOW THE BEAN CAN FIGHT THE BATTLE.
(By united Press)
WASHINGTON, April 19. — Among
the simple, nutritious foods which
should be listed on every housekeep
er's program of home preparedness is
the soy or togo bean. It is used for
human food in Japan and other coun
tries, though not much yet in this
country.
When soy beans sell for 15 cents a
quart, 10 cents’ worth will supply over
five ounces of protein. Ten cents'
worth of beef at 20 cents a pound will
supply one ounce of protein. Soy
beans contain 26 per cent protein, 18
per cent fat and 28 per cent carbo
hydrates as compared with 26.4 per
cent protein, 1 per cent fat, and 62
per cent carbohydrates in navy beans.
This not only makes them a fatty
food, but It makes it possible to cook
them without the addition of pork or
other fat. Soy beans can be used in
almost exactly the same way as navy
beans. To prepare baked soy beans,
soak the beans overnight in cold wa
ter; in the morning add a pinch of
soda and boil the beans in water In
which they are soaked. Pour off the
water and use it for making soup. Put
the beans in a baking dish, add two
level teaspoor.sfui of salt, cover them
with water, cover the dish and bake
six to eight hours, leaving the dish
uncovered during the last hour. It’s
unnecessary to flavor them with mo
lasses, as their natural flavor Is de
licious.
Since the soy bean contains no
starch the liquid in which they are
cooked isn’t thickened, and the beans
remain separate. If this la considered
objectionable, the liquid can be thick
ened with corn meal, one-third of a
cup to a quart of beans.
The skins of the soy beans can be
removed by boiling the beans for ton
minutes and allowing them to cool
over night in the same water and
then rubbing them between the hands.
Most persons prefer the beans with
out the skins. They have a more de
licate flavor and are, probably, more
Iigestible when thus prepared.

At the meeting of the Grand Camp
of the Arctic Brotherhood at Juneau
recently John T. Reed became past
grand arctic chief; John B. Marshall,
of Juneau, grand arctic chief; W. A.
Clark, of Nome, vice arctic chief; A.
J. Acheson, of Skagway, chaplain; Les
ter O. Gore, of Juneau, recorder; Har

ka, grand inner toll; J. R. Heckman,
of Ketchikan, John Ronan of Seward,
C. A. Sulzer of Ketchikan and P. C.
McCormick of Wrangell, trustees.
Considerable excitement was occa
sioned recently on Midway creek by
the jumping of Williston's ground. The
relocators claim that the original
claims were more than 1,320 feet in
length, contrary to the territorial law.
Legal proceedings will likely arise
out of the jumping.
Tom Tamaree, watchman at the
Garnet ledge, at the mouth of the Sti
kine river, accompanied by his wife,
arrived at Wrangell recently and re
ported that a pack of hungry wolves
surrounded their cabin one night re
cently, and though he used his rifle
freely, he was unable to frighten the
animals away. He left the place in
charge of the wolves and moved to
safer quarters.
Keports arriving in Fairbanks from
Olnes, state that Takala & Co. nave
picked up the lost Dome paystreak
on No. 7 below, second tier, right
limit, and that the ground will aver
age better than $-1.50 to the square
foot of bedrock. Two nuggets valued
at $6 and $9 have been picked out of
the gravel in the face of the drift.
The horse feed monopoly at Fair
banks is reported to have ben broken
and horsemen who have been com
pelled to pay 10 cents per pound for
feed are now getting it for half that
price. The large number of horses
which were expected to arrive early
this spring did not materialize and
the speculators are now trying to dis
pose of their stocks.
The Thlinket Packing Company, op
erating at Funter bay, and the Nook
sack Packing Company, operating at
Portland, have placed an order with
a Seattle boat building concern for
four power seine boats, to be delivered
early in June at a cost of about
$25,000. The boats will be 6G feet
long, 14 foot beam and powered with
40 horse-power motors.
Dennis Foley, while working on No.
4, below, Livengood, in a shaft 180
feet deep, was struck by a falling
hoisting bucket, loaded with dirt and
fatally injured. His partners had to
go to an adjoining claim to secure a
windlass to get down the shaft, which
took nearly an hour, and when they
reached Foley he was conscious and
asked what had happened. Brought to
the surface it was found that his left
side was completely crushed, every
bone being completely shattered. He
died a short time after being brought
to the surface.

DEMOCRATS A R E FOR STRONG; I
POLITICIANS AGAINST HIM.!
The Democratic central committee
is now in favor of the reappointment
of Governor Strong, and if another
vote were taken tomorrow a resolution
asking for his reappointment would
be carried by five votes to four, in
stead of being lost by that majority.
This is due to the fact that M. O.
Solberg, the territorial committeeman
from the Second division, on learning
that George Grigsby, who held his
proxy, had voted against Strong vircd
to William Maloney telling him that
the proxy sent to Grigsby is in future
to be used by Maloney, as he, Sol
berg. is in favor or Strong's reappoint
ment.
Maloney is one of the committeemen
who voted for Governor Strong, or,
rather, voted against the endorsement
of those who were supposed to be op
posed to the governor, and the Sol
berg proxy now given to him will be
voted for Governor strong if the oc
casion should again arise.
Another cable has been received
from Nome, also stating that the De
mocratic organization of ttie Second
division is solidly behind Governor
Strong. — Juneau Dispatch.
