Captain Martin complains that the parents of Juneau's juvenile citizen ship are not giving proper attention to their offspring. The Captain Bays that there are certain police regula tions governing the town of Juneau and that among them 1b iho curfew law. Out of consideration for the feel ings of parents the department has in the past been lenient with the offend ers against this provision and the lax ity is bringing disastrous results. The curfew ordinance provides that all children must be at home or on their way home by 9 p. m., unless they have the written consent of their parents to be out. The police department from this time on will strictly enforce the proviBions of the ordinance and children disregarding the law are liable to detention at the city Jail^ f CAPT. ADAM SCHNEIDER, ALASKA GAME WARDEN. Game Warden Adam Schneider has the reputation of being a faithful of ficial, who provides his own gasoline launch and pays for at least a part of the gasoline that he uses out of his own pocket, allowance from the gov ernment for this article being $20 per month. And the district which he covers is an extensive one extending on the south to the British Columbia line, which is quite some distance, as anyone knowB. Captain Schneider makes these Journeys alone in the dis charge of his duties; he is not al lowed an assistant and he cannot af ford to hire an Indian as pilot. But he does the best he can, and he is achieving a reputation of being a ter ror to those who would violate the game laws of the country. Captain Schneider lost both hands in a blizzard years ago in the Bering sea country, near Teller, but even with the remnants of what were once an honest and strong pair of hands, what he has accomplished in his crip pled condition is more than remark able. It illustrates the dogged perse verance of the man. THE RACE TO LIVE.
