PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY
As election day draws nearer, the in
terest and excitement increases. In
some cases the enthusiasm not only
bubbles, but boils. It is a good sign
when men of all classes and occupa
tions take an active, vital interest in
municipal affairs. Much discussion
can only reveal the truth. Douglas
surely has a faculty for waking up at
these times, and we have no hesitancy
in stating that the judgment of the
voters may be depended on to lead
them to a careful and just decision, in
the majority of cases.
The first number of "The Alaska
Monthly", an illustrated magazine pub
lished at Juueau, is at haud. It con
tains half-tone engravings of such
prominent pioneer citizens as Joe
Juneau, Dick Harris, O. L. Sandstone,
J no. G. Heid and Henry States. It has
departments devoted to such iDtresting
matters as Alaskan agriculture, min
ing, railroads* fish, shipping and Si
washes. As a magazine, this publica
tion finds the field clear. The pro
prietors have no reason to feel ashamed
of the first number.
GOV. HOGGATTS RECEPTl ON
When Gov. Hoggatt returns to bis
home in Southeastern Alaska, he will
be received in a manner that will no
doubt be a source of gratification to
him, and an indication of the warm
hearted patriotic enthusiasm of the
people in this section of Uncle Sam's
domain.
Last Saturday night a committee of
thirty representatives of the three
towns on Gastineaux channel, met at
the Chamber of Commerce rooms at
Juneau, and there perfected plans for
the grandest reception ever given to
any man in Alaska. The affair is to be
held on Douglas Island, at Treadwell
City, at the Treadwell Club building.
The plan comprises a reception, ball,
and banquet. It is to be a popular
demonstration, and everybody is to be
invited. It is the plan to provide the
new governor an opportunity to meet
and shake hands with the people.
At the meeting held last Saturday,
Mr. H. P. Stow, assistant;.superintend
ent of the Treadwell mines, was elected
President: W. W. Shorthill, Secretary:
John F. Malony, Vice President; and
B. M. Behrends, Treasurer.

Marshal McDonald reported to the
council the eatire outlines of a plan to
construct a large reservoir on the hill
above town for water for fire purposes.
The plan provides for the construction
of a dam across Bear creek abd a pipe
line into the city. An expert has given
an opinion that a reservoir, capable of
holding half a million gallons of water,
could be constructed at a cost of not
to exceed p thousand dollars. The
plan is worthy of careful consideration.
A GREAT SUBJECT
"Does Death End All?" "Involution
and Evolution, or Does Death End All?
and Is Instinct Immortal?" The dis
cussion of this theme will be a practi
cal reply to a variety of questions
asked by evolutionists and materialists
on Douglas Island. It will be shown
in the disc.ussiou of this subject, in the
Cougregational church on Sunday
evening, April 1st, at 8 o'clock: That
is life which causes organization, and
not organization which causes life.
Matter in living tissues is directed,
controlled, arranged, so as to subserve
the most varied and complex purposes.
Only matter and mind exist in the uni
verse. Matter in living tissues must
therefore be arranged either by matter
or mind. No material properties or
forces are kuown to be capable of pro
ducing the arrangements which exist
in living tissues. In the present state
of kn Avledge,these arrangements must
be referred to mind or life as their
source. Bioplasm exhibits peculiar
actions found nowhere in not living
matter. It exhibits different actions
iu every different animal and vegetable
tissue.' For each class of the peculiar
actions there must be a peculiar cause.
That cause must be either matter or
mind. But the cause has qualities
which cannot, without self-contradic
tion, be attributed to inert matter.
It must therefore exist in the life, or
, an immaterial element of the organiza
j tion. It is plain that before matter
which forms the tissues has entered
j the organization, the plan of the tis
sues is involved in the earliest bio
plasts. There is forcast involved,
therefore, in the action of the bio
1 plasts. Forcast is not an attribute of
matter, but of mind. An immaterial
element exists therefore, in living or
1 ganisms. It is hoped the same intense
interest will again be manifest at
this service as was last Sunday in a
> crowded house. Rev. D. Holford, B.D.,
' Pastor.
