penter force.

well after quite a long period of resi
; dence in the States.
The chrouicling of a list of events

that good old Douglas Islaud is not
j so bad after all. Steady work and
moderate living expenses don't grow
j on every bush the world around.

twentieth wedding anniversary. Re- ;
turning from a launch ride to the end
of the Islaud with Mr. and Mrs. Ben
nett, the worthy couple walked unsus
pectingly into their home which had
meanwhile been taken possession of by
about forty of their neighbors and
friends, from Treadwell and Douglas.
The surprise was complete, and afford
ed pleasure to both the conspirators;
and the victims. On the diniug room
table a dozen decorated llaviland
bread and butter plates, a cup and
saucer, aud a haud-painted lemonade
pitcher were rather more sileut expres- i
sions of the audible felicitations ex
tended to Mr. and Mrs. Veasie ou the
event of their China wedding. Re- ?
freshments iu the shape of saudwiches,
cake aud coffee were also forthcoming.
The prevailing sentiment of au alto- j
gether delightful eveuing was the hope

zie, Stow, Tatom, Stoody, Shorthill,

day evening regarding preparations for
the big event of the season ? the Fire- 1
men's Annual Ball, which will be held
on Monday evening, Aug. 12. This ball,
while given under the direction of the
Fire Department, is designed to in
clude every member of tbe Club ? one
of the foundation principles of this in
stitution being that all its privileges
are extended equally to all members in
all matters. Expectations for the usual
good time are the order of the day.
The directors of the Club met Mou
day evening aud transacted routine
business.
The Club Band practice on Monday
I evening was enjoyed by outsiders as
well as direct participants.
A new wafer tank has been recently
placed in the Club, for especial use in
fire emergencies.
The number of volumes in the -Club
library is constantly ou the increase. A
look over the shelves makes evident
the fact that a splendid library is being
gradually builC up, and that it is ap
preciated may be inferred from the
number of books in coustant use.
The Treadwell Dancing Club will
suspend operations until after the big
annual ball.

Tbe Whitehorse Star asserts that a
timber fii;e near there was started by
the wind rubbing the branches of the

Fred Garner, city assessor, has com-j
pleted his work and turned in the as
sessment books to the city council
Monday night. The council has not
yet given out what the tax rate for 1007
will be, but it is probable that the rate
of previous years will be doubled, and
this year's rate will be one per cent.
Dr. Harry C. Do Vighne arrived in j
the city, via the Humboldt, Sunday j
night, and is established iu the rooms
ovor Elliot & Smith's Pharmacy, for- j
merly occupied by Dr. Geho. Dr. De

church building he did with his own
hands, otherwise it had never been |
built,
Anton Krasel, the tailor who has a
shop on Second street, carefully cleans
and presses clothes so that they look
like new again. His work speaks for
itself, and Anton speaks several differ
ent languages himself. He is always at
his post, and always working, so he ac
complishes a great deal. \ ou may need
something in his line. If so, you will
find him next door to Henry Berry's ci
gar factory, on Second street.
A card from Chas. A. Fox bears the
intelligence that he has decided to gir$
j Alaska the shake, and will engage in
the general merchandise business at
Hartford, Wash. Charlie has been in
Douglas so long that we had really
formed the idea that he was a fixture ?
a part of the country, just like the
landscape or the mountains. Hut. all
i the same, we wish for him a large meas
I ure of success in his new home.
Last Monday Dr. McCallie performed
a very successful operation, at his office
in the Sans Souci,in removing a section
of necrossed bone from the mouth of
Mr. Dan McDonald, the blacksmith at
the Treadwell mine. Mr. McDonald
suffered from time to time from this
trouble for the past five years, having
it lanced on a number of different oc
casions, but Dr. McCallie cut away th6
dead bone, and now as the cause of the
trouble is removed, a speedy recovery
is expected. The next morning Dan
said he felt better.

Square, New York City, thus defined

The large increase in the number of
excursionists this year, is perhaps due
to the fact that stopovers are now al
lowed. A great many people have taken
advantage of this concession to make
a visit of some length to different
places. This is the best thing ever done
by the steamboat companies for South
eastern Alaska, as it will en'able the
visitors to not only see Alaska, but to
learn something about it by actual ob
servation.
