Episcopal Arch deacon of the Yukon msisions, who organized and lead the expedition that accomplished the ascension of Alt. Mc Kinl< y. is a son of the Sunny South, and Itails from Texas, that State of big things, lie was dean of the Epis copal cathedral at Dallas, Texas, be fore coming to Alaska about 10 years ago. under appointment by Bishop P. T. Kowe as Archdeacon of the Yukon. He is in the prime of his vigorous man hood. about 4f> years of age, and an indomitable character that has for-' gotten from non-use the meaning of' the word "failure." His duties in I Alaska have taken him up and down the Yukon river, the Porcupine, the Koyukuk and their tributaries, into the nooks and corners of the vast areas of the great Interior of Alaska, in all seasons and all sorts and condi tions of weather. He has learned how to do things from much experience, and is just the sort of man to do what he has done. Harry Karstens, to whom Archdeac on Stuck has generously given the credit for the success of his expedi tion. is a well-known young business man of Fairbanks, associated with F. W. Whiteley in an expert accounting, real estate and general brokerage bus iness. He is young, athletic, eithus iastic and a part of the new Alaska tribe of men that are growing up in the North such as every Alaskan knows without further description. Robert 0. Tatum and Walter Har per. the other members of the expe dition. are not so well known out here, but they were selected by Archdeacon Stuck and Harry Karstens, his chief adviser, and that is equivalent to say ing that they were the men for the job. REV. AND MRS BLACKWELL RETURN FROM SKAGWAY Rev. R. C. Blackwell. of the Metho dist church, and Mrs. Blackwell, re ' turned from a Kasboat trip up and i down Lynn canal. They went to Skag t way particularly to meet R. J. Cooke and his party on their return from the Westward and to bid them fare well on their way to the Interior.

FOURTH GAME OF SERIES TOMORROW Juneau will be invaded again tomor row by the Douglas-Treadwell Wild cats. They are coining over for more money. There is not the slightest doubt but that they will put up a tirce tight to get it if that sort of a con test is necessary?and some people be lieve it will be. An attempt was made to get the line-up of the Pirates but Tom Kadonich would not divulge the combination. "Tomorrow's game will be good," was all the satisfaction that could be obtained along this line. "Perhaps Deruiody will pitch." he asid, "and perhaps he will not." Tom says that lie has money to bet that Ju neau takes a majority of the games in the series of ten. The line-up of the Island conting ent will probably remain the same, as they have reached a good stage of team work. There may possibly be a new pitcher on the mouud although Pittman seems to be the real goods. A clever baseball manager never likes to have a pitcher go stale and Pitt man may not be worked tomorrow. At any rate the game promises to be very interesting. Also there is ev ery reason to expect a very large at tendance. The home team seems to have a hoodoo that has been working overtime, hut this imp may be asleep tomorrow. The really superstitious will look for signs. They have al ready discovered that Donald Haley, the mascot, did not go to Douglas with the Pirates last Sunday and also that he fell in the channel the lust time the Islanders were over here. Donald is looking good right now and he will briug his winnings ways to the park tomorrow. COUNCIL PASSES TWO NEW ORDINANCES The city father*, took the tire crack ers and toy cannon away from the children last night. The "Sane and Safe Fourth of July" ordinance went through without a disseutiug voice. It will now be unlawful to celebrate Independence Day or any other event by shooting off firearms, fire crackers or tire works of any description with in the city limits of the Town of Ju neau. Another important ordinance that went through unanimously and is now a part of the city laws prescribes rules and regulations governing plumbing and sewerage in the Town of Juneau, '?'his law effects all of the new build ings that are going up and all of the new sewers that are being laid, and provides for sondemniug old systems. Routine Matters. The council, was called together promptly by Mayor Carter. There were present Carter, Case, Hurlbutt, Raymond and Marshall. The minutes of all the special meetings that were held during the past two weeks were read and approved. A petition from Igloo No. 6, Pio neers of Alaska, asking for a plot in the city cemetery was granted and the city eugineer instructed to survey i the same and make a plat of it. A petition was received from Vic ' tor Wilhelm et al asking for a sewer I on Seventh between Gold and Harris. Ralph E. Robertson, was present and addressed tho body on the subject covered in the petition. The matter was referred to the street committee with power to act. me suojeci ui lire i;ruicvnuu ?uo discussed and the oAice of Are war den created. Mark Sabin was elected tire warden at a salary of $90.00 per month. An order was passed calling in all the Are hose and prohibiting the further use of it by private parties. Current bills against the city were audited and ordered paid. Councilman Case brought up the subject of establishing a Are alarm system.

On motion of Councilman Ed. 11 urlbutt Mark Sabin was elected tire warden at a salary of $90.00 per mouth. The warden is expected to give his unidvided attention to the business of taking care of the fire ap paratus and to guarding against fires. He will work under the direction of the tire chief. An order was also passed by the councilmen by unani mous vote that all the hose now in use by private parties be called in and that hereafter no hose shall be used except on public work by the city. The installation of an up-to-date fire alarm system was also discussed in detail. Councilman Hurlbutt said thut it was impossible at this time to get the money to establish a central fire station on account of the guarantee that had been put up for the new school house, but that there was urg-' fiit necessity of creating a fire alarm system. Every member of the council had ; something to say on the subject. Councilman Marshall said that it was his belief that the sureties on the school money would soon be relieved by an act of Congress that would per mit the City of Juneau to issue bonds! for school purposes and thus release the money and bonds of private par-' ties. This would make it possible to! go ahead with Councilman Hurlbutt's! ; plan for a central tire station. It was the opinion o fall that the risk was great and that something should be done now. The difllculty to over come in establishing the alarm sys tem is to find a central station. Af , ter a discussion, on motion of council man Case the matter was ordered to bo given to the counil as committee of the whole for further consideration.
