THE LOCAL FIELD.
Undismayed.
He croes to his task with a sour and a smile.
He never says "may be" and "after a while,"
The fellow that's willing to work.
Rut he lives in the sunshine that gladdens to
day.
And he lightens each load by his irood na
tures! way
The fellow that's willing to work.
He isn't afraid of the trusts that expand.
He doesn't look forward to woe in the land,
The fellow that's willing to work.
For he knows that the earth will give food,
drink and air.
And there's always enough and a little to
spare
The fellow that's willing to work.

Another Fire*
It again becomes our duty to chron
icle a fire on Dooglas Island. Last
Sunday morning at 5 o'clock, the sav
age clang of the fire alarm and the
mournful bellow of the big Treadwell
whistle called the frightened people
from their beds to the stern realization
that once again life and property were
in danger from fire.
.ir*TI ?..Anf;nn fKof
I "Wliort) 19 it was tua 4UD3WUU vuuv
spraug to tho lip4* of every man, woman
and child, and many breathed a sigh of
relief when it was found that the. flames
were only leaping up the hillside above
the hospital among the stumps.
But this feeling of relief gave place
to one of anxiety when the realization
came that the entire line of buildings
from the hospital to the 300 mill were
in danger. It was then that not only
the men and boys, but women and girls,
showed their real grit. With buckets,
axes and shovels they turned in and
fought like demons.
The Douglas Hose companies ran
their carts down the narrow track, and
joined the Treadwell companies.
As the fire surged up to the old
Bears Nest mill everybody realized that
if that caught not only the adjoiniug
buildings but the 300 mill would be
burned. Exertions were redoubled
and the fire was turned at this point.
? At 7 o'clock a second alarm brought
reenforcemeuts and after two hours
more of hard work the last spark was
extinguished and the people returned
to their homes.
NOTES.
The good people of Douglas Island
may now unpack their trunks.
The Indians took a lively hand in the
scrimmage last Sunday morning, and
' did good execution,
j The lumber piles at the saw mill
; were pretty badly scattered by the
j wind Saturday night.
! Carl Erickson was laid up for a
I couple of days as a result of exposure
j during the fire Sunday morniug.
The high winds played havoc with
the telephone and electric light wires,
especially in the neighborhood of the
; saw mill.

! consequence of the scarcity of water,
| a great many people have been forced
I to defer their annual bath.
Buildings on the Bear's Ne9t prop
erty belonging to the Treadwell com
1 pany are being torn down, to prevent
i a recurrence of the danger of last week.
Douglas City can be proud of her
fire boys, and the orderly and quiet
manner in which they carried out the
commands of their officers last Sun
day morning.
Water is now selling in Douglas at
$1.00 per barrel, for culinary purposes.
: The sea pump at the Natatorium is in
; shape to furnish it at a much lower
rate in case of fire.
City Council.
The time of the city council last
I Monday evening was taken up by

other matters of equal importance.

, of water and the matter of fire protec
tion was read and referred back to the
committee for still further amend
ments.

The city clerk was instructed to issue
a notice of the annual city election, on
Monday, March 21st. Patrick Lynch,
William Steele and Hugh Tracy were
appointed judges and Wm. McCormick
and Walter Gould, clerks.
It was brought to the attention of
the council that ths Bear's Nest mill is
unrepaired and liable to fall upon the
passersby, besides being a fire trap, en
dangering adjoining property. A reso
lution was passed condemning the
buildiDg and instructing the city clerk
to notify the owners to tear it down.

Treadwell Y. M. C. A. building are now
called for. Plans and specifications
may be seen at the Treadwell Office.
All bids to be in not later than 6 o'clock

Gits.
Duriog the recent fire at Tread well it
; was baldly to be expected that such an
insiguificant creature as a cat would
, receive special attention and be the ob
ject of special care and solicitude on
, the part of any one. But now after the
coufusion has thoroughly subsided, it
, develops that pussy played quite a
prominent part.

; pussy was to go should the flames ap
i proach too near.
, Two pretty little tabby cats that
made their home in the Y. M. C. A
, building were probably offered up as a
living sacrifice, when that building
, burned.
i One cat, whose home was bnrned, es
caped, but singed her fur badly while
mournfully viewing the smoking ruins.
Still another lived in a house that
was deserted by the other occupants.
Pussy stayed right there, and when her
master and mistress returned, pussy
was raging mad. In evidence of her
temper, her fur all stood on end.
A Douglas lady was out iu the wind
, when a stray cat took a fancy to hor
? and followed her home. She is now
i making a study of how to got rid of
that cat.
