Dastardly. If True.
It is reported that an order has been
made by the Atlin authorities that all
person* having claims must appearand
represent the same in person on or be
fore April 1st, otherwise they will be
forfeited. We do not vouch for the
truth of this report, but, if true, it is iu
keeping with the exclusion act itself.
Americans can rest assured that it will
be made unpleasant for them in that
district and no opportunity will be al
lowed to pass to declare the forfeiture
of claims owned by Americans.
Early Closing.
The merchants of Juneau are about
to adopt a uniform hour for closing
their stores." Eight o'clock will proba-,
My be the hour agreed on and we think
the movement will meet with the ap
proval of everybody. Juneau has a lot
of good, hard-working clerks, and to
give them an extra hour in the evening
won Id. no doubt, be much appreciated
and would be of no loss to the employ
ers.
Good, II True.
Fort Wraujrel Journal.
A. (i. McBridc, the? editor-in-chief of
the Douglas Island News, was a visitor
iu Wraugol this week. Mac made the
Journal a pleasant call and expressed
his delight at being able to visit the
old town. Brother McBride is one of
Che l>ost newspaper men in Alaska, and
Douglas Island should be proud of him
and his great religions weekly.
To Knights of Pythias.
A lotfge of Knights of Pythias is
about to U* organized in Juneau and it
is desired that all members of the order
who are iu good stand in? will please j
forward their names at ouce to the un
dersigned, as we desire assistance in1
starting the lodge. A preliminary!
meeting will be held at Kaufman Bro.'s
store ou Thursday evening next.

Some Copper River Pro.spcctor.-i.
Among those who returned from the
Copper River country ou the Woleott
in January were Hermau Domberowski
?we don't know how he managed to
climb over the Valdes glacier aud not
drop about half of it down a crevasse,
but he assures us that he still retains
his full name intact?who is now work
ing in the new mill at Tread well. Mr.
Yakshaw is a tinner iu Juueau: Mr.
Krietzberg has returned to his old
hcune in Iowa; Mr. Botts is a waiter in
a Juueau restaurant, while Messrs.
Joues aud Coou have gone to Porcu
pine. Of the (51 prospectors who came
back to civilization at that time they
have scattered to the four wiuds, per
haps nevermore to meet again in this
world.
At the Catholic Church.
The little Catholic church was
crowded to its utmost last Sunday at
the morning service, although nothing
annsnal, excepting a very bright, sunny
day, tended to bring the people out.
"The building is entirely too small and
the proposed new church the coming
summer will be hailed with delight. In
very few places is to be found the
Christian harmony existing in Douglas i
City; mauy of the same faces are to be
seen at both Catholic and protestant
services, and the patients and Sisters of
St. Ann's Hospital are nearly always
remembered in the prayers in the pro
testant churches. Father Bougis' ser
mon was broad, practical, and impress
ive. He speaks with earnestness, and
evinces the culture and learning he ad
mires in the true Christian. In the
course of his sermon he expressed
many tiue thoughts, among which he
said in substance: the learned man is
the best Christian, l>ecanse he brings
not only his heart, but bis trained in
tellect into service. He claimed a per
son was responsible for bis disbelief as
long as he neglected the means of en
lightenuieut.wheu he discards religious
motives, represses religious sentiment,
despises religious practices, aud absents
himself from all religious services.
The New Bridges.
Some of our energetic, industrious
citizens have taken it npon themselves
to build bridges over the stream that
intersects North Secoud and Third
streets. Many of the heavy timbers
are on the ground and we are informed
the work will be pushed as rapidly as
possible from now ou. Some planking ,
is yet needed and we hope that all will
cooperate in helping ou the work in
every way possible.
The Rev. If. J.Gnrr will hold services
next Sunday evening in the Odd Fel
lows' Hall at 8 p. m. A cordial invita
tion is extended to all.
