John Frame, of the Juneau Trans
cript, gets gay aud insinuates that
Douglas Island girls are not pretty.
John is no judge of beanty. When any
of the Juneau fellers want a handsome
wife they come to Douglas to get her.
It is reported that H.Stewart Brinley
is iu Jnneau again. He is probably
there to assist Ed. Knssell iu building
the big tannel, or to helpContant build
the railroad to the Basin* He is a very
valuable man In that kind of jobs.
A congressional delegate is to bo sent
to the Philippines this summer to see
whether or not the breech-clad inhab
itants are ready for representation in
congress. What abont the 40,000 or
more Americans iu Alaska??White

Under the provisions of the Alaska
liceuse law the licensing of saloous is
really a matter of local option. No li
cense can be granted until a majority
of the male and fomale residents, over
the age of years, other than Indians,
living within two miles of the place
where liquor is to be sold, have given
their consent to such sale of liquor.
Formerly Ihe circulation of one list
for signatures was held to be sufficient,
but uuder a recent ruling of Judge
Gunnison, each applicant for a saloon
liceuse must accompany his application
with a list of signatures sufficiently
large to satisfy the Judge that a major
Ito favor the grauting of a license to
that particular saloou. At least such
is the construction put on a circular
letter, sent out by the clerk of the
court beariug on the subject.

This, the fourteenth day of June
marks the fifth anniversary of the ob
servance of Flag Day at the National
Capital. The day this year will be
made au occasion of especial not? in
appreciation of the return to their ori
gioual States of all the Confederate
flags held here by the Government
since the Civil War. This latest act of |
Federal courtesy forges another link in
the chain of uatioual unity, broken j
forty years ago. There were about, five
hundred of these ensigns of strife hid
den away amid the moth and dust of an
attic iu the War Department. They
were never, during later years, allowed
to be shown, and, in their seclusion,
they added nothing to the evidences of
their country's history. Washington,
however, posses a richer collection of
historic flags than can be shown in any
other city iu the Cuited States, and
these may be seen at all times by those
interested.
A BIG RUN
Ever since the installation of the big
new hoistiug engines at the Treadwell
miue there has been considerable spec
ulation as to the amount of "rock*" that
eould be taken out of the miue aud de
posited in the ore bins of the big mills
in a run of ten hours.
The ruu made last Sunday night,
with Shift-boss Tom Day in charge is a
record breaker; in less than 10 hours,
3,000 tons o-f rock was hoisted. This
was something like 300tous better than
auy previous record.
This sounds like a big pile of rock,
but when one comes to think of it, a
:M-hours ruu of the two big mills
wouldu't leave very much of it iu the
bins.
A California paper gives the follow
ing that will interest Douglas folks:
Robert E. Coughliu, younger brother
of T. C. Cougblin, the Herald corres
pondent with the letter's little nephew
Raymond Kelly, arrived here yester
day afternoon all the way from Dong
Jas Island, Alaska. They were 12 days
on the voyage. They took passage on
May l&h, and the boys came down un
accompanied. Little Raymond was
bom in Alaska,and many things com
mon in a more civilized country are
new to his eyes. Coming here on the
local train he was appalled at a sight of
a windmill. He is a bright little fellow
3nd a mighty banter in the Arctic
judgiDg from pictures of himself, his
dog and gnn. taken on Douglas Island.
THEY CAME
A delegation of senators and repre
sentatives in congress visited Douglas
last Friday. Acting on the advice of
the captain of the ship Cottage City,
and the earnest supplicatiou of the Ju
uean reception committee, none of
them ventured very far inland, and so
they got back to the ship without the
loss of a single man. When the ship
reached Treadwell, after spending some
time at Juneau the senators and rep
resentatives said they were awful tired.
They did not say what made them so.
JoeCauuon, speaker of the house of
representatives, was a member of the
party. He said he had promised to i
spend a day at the Portland Fair, and
so, while in the west, took advantage of
the opportunity to see something of
Alaska. He don't expect to "see it all;**
but'he said that the knowledge acquir
ed on this trip would euable him,
should some oue say, for instance that j
Juneau was a town of ten thousand In-1
j
habitants, to know that he was a darn- |
ed liar.
THE CITY* DADS
The city council met Monday even
ing as usual. There were present (
Couucilmen Fox, Wort man, Stubbius, j
King and Hopp.
An amendment to the dog ordinance ;
was presented, read, and passed to a!
second reading. This amendment \
strikes out that part of the ordinance
which provides that dogs on which tax ;
has not been paid shall be impounded
for id hours before they are killed. Iu ]
i the event of its passage, it will be law- i
: ful for the pound master or other per- j
; son authorized by the council to kill
all dogs on sight, where tbo city tax
: has not been paid. This is thought.to
be uecessary because of the rapid in
crease in the number of "wild dogs"' or
dogs that have no owner.
Claims against the city were approv-j
ed and paid as follows:
