LIBRARY
FUND GETS
BIG BOOST
Over eleven hundred dollars Is tho
amount secured by the nine ladies and
gentlemen of Juneau who were out
last Saturday securing funds with
which to operate the public library.
The committee will continue its work
during the coming week and It Is be
lieved. according to B. D. Stewart
that at least $1,250 will be the total
amount raised for the relief of the li
brary.
There were three committees at
work Saturday. One committee, com
posed of J. C. McBrlde. Mrs. B. D.
Stewart and Mrs. HI C. DeVIghne. se
cured $300 with promises of more to
come The second committee, Z. R.
Cheney and Mrs. A. P. Kashevaroff
brought In over $150. The third com
mittee consisting of Judge Robert W.
Jennings. Mrs R. E. Robertson. Mr.
Stewart and Superintendent of
Schools L. D. Henderson, returned to'
the committee rooms late In the af
ternoon with $620. its district having
been the business section. The above
amounts were in cash or checks but
did not include promises which were
fulfilled during the evening hours or
The city was completely atstncteu
and the committees covered the
ground thoroughly. Every member
of the committees reported that the
citizens responded nobly and mani
fested the greatest Interest In the
movement and the library In general.
The people seem determined that the
library shall bo ma'ntalned and every-;
body protested against its decease.
Another prominent feature con
nected with the soliciting of funds was
that the citizens are almost unani
mous that the city should take over
the institution and operate It as a
part of the city's affairs. And right
on top of this assertion, many of the
citizens declared that they would^not
vote for any person as a member of
the nert city council, who would not
agree to the proposition.
Mr. Ste\vart stated this morning
that many transients, who secure ben
efits at the library, were of course
unable to be reached for voluntary
contributions. Many have at various
times expressed the pleasures they
have occasioned by having access to
the library*, and for that reason a
contribution box has been placed in
the library and any donations may be i
placed In this.
The committee, collectively and in
dividually, desire to thank tho con
tributors for their free will offerings.
Such a glad and happy response to
their labors were certainly appreciat
ed. Not a tight wad was located and
in most cases the strings of the
purses were already unloosened await
ing the call of the committee.

CITY HEALTH GOOD.
The epidemic of sickness j
which for a very short time pre- I
vailed In Juneau has safely |
passed. There are practically '
no new cases of scarlet fever or
typhoid. Several symptoms de- !
1 veloped last week but the little '
germs turned out to be some- 1
thing else.
The above were the state
ments made today by Dr. H. C.
DeVlghne, who in the absence of
Dr. Bev's. is acting Deputy Com
missioner of Health, and Dr. j
Dawes, city health officer.
Last week it was reported [
' from several sources that both '
scarlet fever and typhoid were {
prevalent in the city but when '
all rumors were mn to earth, j
there were nothing to them.
There are. however, many i
cases of whooping cough and '
chicken pox among the chll- I
dren. but there is nothing re
markable about that fact. The [
! diseases are known as infantile !
necess'ties, and prevail any
where. generally anytime.
Even the La Grippe microbe. 1
which wiggled around this vicin- I
Ity for several weeks, has two- 1
stepped out. and the cases he '
left are now convalescent.
Summing up the general health !
' report for the city of Juneau it |
' can be *ald that jt is excellent
for this t'me of the year.
