Inside the tunnel, the air was un- questionably charged with mutiny. The men who were pushing trucks of earth back and forth eyed Glenn with sullen, lowering hostility. Un- der the foreman's watchful gaze, they all kept up some pretense of work—making the least possible speed—but the instant his back was turned to speak to Glenn, every pick was dropped, every truck ceased to move. They gathered in little knots, conferring together in low tanes. The foreman explained a little more in detall to Glenn what had happened. .

SMITH RESIDES IN JUNEAU |BECAUSE LAW REQUIRES JUNEAU, Jan. 23.—(To the Edi- tor)—Relative to your recent edi- als under headings of “Candi- s for Office” and “The Empire the Primary,” please permit and me to say that upon reading the first mentioned, it secmed distinetly unfair so far as applying to offi- eking to succeed themselves. it seemed hardly worth vhile to take exceptions, but if others have done so, I would like to add my voice to the chorus. ! For example: at time of my origi- nal appointment in 1913 to office of the Treasurer of the Territory, I was and had been continuously for six years previous thereto a r Hu of the THIRD JUDICIAL |DIVISION. By provisions of law and necessities of the office, the Treasurer o he Territory is re- quired to in Juneau. So far as I am concerned, I have been A resident of the First Division only by reason of being Treasurer of the | Territory. The same might be| equally true in other cases. ! Very respectfully, WALSTEIN G. SMITH.

Moose Walter Hellan that the pro- gram for the meetings during 1930 promises to break all records for; fun and entertainment of the Ju-| neau Lodge, and that a very uvely‘y {bunch of members are attending.
