As a candidate for congressional/
delegate or as a citi'jen of Alaska.no
one has as yet said anything against
?d S. Orr, escept that he is tied up >n
some way with Shack le?ord and that
has not been proven.

The Big Ball
The sixth annual ball of the Tuead
-,vell Fire Department was given last
aight at the Treadwell Club. An invi
tation was extended to all members of (
the Club (which includes all the em
ployees of Tread we 11):, an iuvitation Mas
also given, to tUe Douglas V.olunteer
Fire Department. Besides this some
two or. three hundred- other guests were
"ovitsd. From the extent oi the invi?
tations-it is easy, to judgo that the af
feir was a big event on Douglas Island.
The attendance last night was per
haps several hundred in excess of that
ofcany previous occasion. The large
ball was simply packed. The music
*vas furnished by Prof. Wasterlain s or
chestra. Supper, was served at the
Tread well boarding house, where the
big dining. room is capable of seating
312 persons. However, on this occasion
it was not large enough for the crowd
and a part wore served at a. second
sitting.
The Treadweli* Fire Department is a
volunteer organization and the big ;
dance i* given, by. the Treadwell com- j
pany each y.ear as a. tokeu of. its ap- j
preciation o?the interest taken by its- (
amployees in the protection of prop
arty. The Treadwell fire boys- are
proud of their big dance,.andwell they j
may be,.for nothing, attempted in the
Northland can compare with it.

winding path?will be erected a dancing
pavilion and club house costing $10, OCKX
On the lee side a monster float will be
constructed for the use of tishermen.
and small craft, where boats cau safely
tie up in any storm.
The little island thai has for so long \
withheld its fragrant beauty and use
fulness from the citizens of Douglas
will at last be utilized,, and the only
thing you can hear in Douglas nowa
days is,. "Are you. going to the Island?"
When Superintendent R. A. Kinzie
was toid of the proposed scheme to

a reoreatiou ground for the citizeos of
Douglas, he heartily approved of it and j
said, "Put me down for S500, and if you i
are shori come again."
Mayflower island has many attrac- j
feions, which,, when brought within j
reach by the proposed plan, will make <
it a joy forever to the people of Doug- ;
las Island. Besides this, however,, there 1 1
is a very practical side to thepropo-M
sition which appeals to the people gen
erally and the business interests es- j
pecially, and that is the providing of a I
convenient and safe anchorage for all
kinds of small craft. No matter how
the Taku may howl, within this little
harbo-r boats may lie in perfect safety.
The liberality or Mr. Kiniie has given |
the project a good start and as the
scheme gets a good word from every
body it is safe to assert that the thing
is iust a.9 good as do?.e.
Watch Douglas grow.
