All mem bers are urged to attend as there are several interesting matters to be dis cussed. Mae McCormick is able to be out again after a week's seige of la grippe. Gabriel Paul, a clerk in the Tread well store, has been sick for the past ? week. Oscar Johnson, manager of the Treadwell butcher shop, will leave for the Last on the next trip of the Jef ferson. He has been manager of the shop at Treadwell for a number of years, and is well liked by all who know him. His return to Douglas will be welcomed by all. A young man from the States is coming up to take Manager Johnson's place, during his absence. Luther Chambers, of Chambers Pros, the well known Douglas butch ers. will go south in a week or so. on a trip in connection with the firm's business. The Knights of Pythias will hold : their regular meeting this evening, and all members are requested to at tend.

The steamer Dolphin docked at (Treadwell at 12 o'clock today, with a heavy cargo, and a large amount of m til. She arrived at Douglas later ir. the afternoon. Mrs. Jame3 Stoody and daughter Helen returned on the Dolphin after a lengthy visit in the East. Mrs. Cornwal is sick at her home in Douglas of la grippe. ; At the Orpheum last night was one of the very best shows of the season. ! "Dante's Inferno" was certainly all that was claimed for it. It is a master piece from an artistic standpoint and was well rece ived by the large crowd present. All those who were not there should go tonight and avail themselves of the opportunity to wit ness this wonderful picture.

A LIGHTHOUSE THAT IS NEEDED The bill introduced in Congress the other day appropriating $125,000 for the construction of a lighthouse at j Cape St. Elias will meet the appro bation of not only sea-faring men, but of all persons who have to travel , along that tempestuous coast. \ "Big Stone," which is the local ? name for the cape, is a commanding , as well as a dangerous point on the | southern coast, and mariners have ? been asking for many years that light house be constructed there. Very frequently the weather is 1 stormy in that section and Cape St. ! Elias cannot be "picked up" by navi | gators. A lighthouse there would be 1 an aid to navigation in all kinds of i weather. JAMES McCLOSKEY COMING BACK IN MARCH :l ? Wm. .Meyers has just had a letter from James McCloskey, who has re turned to Seattle from the East. John McCluskey is still visiting in Wiscon sin and James will start for Juneau some time in March. The Daily Empire delivered in Ju neau, Douglas and Treadwell for $1.00 a month. FOB KENT ? Five-room house un furnished. Inquire of Juneau Dairy.tf. A LITTLE STORY ABOUT FISHERMEN "Unpleasant circumstances," said a water front lounger, "are liable to arrive most any time." He was speak ing of fisherfolk down on lower Franklin street. "Of course the boys," lie continued, "don't want to be joshed about it?so I'll not mention any names. About three weeks ago two of them started from Hoonah over to Glacier Bay after ice. It was very dark and just as they were getting close in, their gas boat hit a hidden rock. When she struck she turned over and filled. The boys had to swim over to the mainland. For two days they were maroned on the bleak coast but finally flagged a passing fishboat and were taken off. Their boat wasn't injured any, and .luckily, no heavy seas disturbed it while rest ing on the rock. With the assistance of those who came to their relief, the J boat was righted, and they went back to Hoonah with the load of ice that, they had started after." J The fisherman sailing out of Alas ka waters will go through any num ber of such circumstances and not complain, calling it all a part of the day's work. Hardships of this nature while unpleasant have terrors. What really makes a fisherman feel like taking to his bed with fright is to be offered a check by an unknown fish buyer. It is reported that a cer tain man recently arrived in Juneau and made a great splurge along the waterfront. The fishermen were not to be the victims of the disastrous culling system adopted by the Seat tle dealers. Buying fish on the Ju neau dock became a pleasant pas time?but some of the checks came back. Now the fishermen are clamoring for a culling system?a system that will cull out the bad checks before they are exchanged for good fish. THE ANGORA CLUB. The Angora Club is reported to be a recently organized local society for the promotion of sports and good fellowship, with E. Mercier for pres ident and A. Beans as secretary. i i i i i i i i i 44-H 18 j: Marine Notes jj i ii 111 ii 1111111111111111?i The Dolphin arrived at the island at ten o'clock this afternoon and will probably leave for Skagway early in the evening.
