'PHONE NO. JZ Pretty soon the day will be here when Douglas Island will be asked to buy tags. These tags are to be sold for ttie benefit of Mayflower Island. They will be one dollar each. -It is really a ?ice thing to be able to say tiat every man, wom&ti and child on the Island can afford to buy one of these tags. By this we mewi that there are no people living on the Island who a: a teally af flicted by poverty. And theu we also mean that the dollar wilfc be well in Tested-. Never was there a ufcjer spot for a park, t baa Mayflower islaud. If you dou-bt this statemeut jast visit the island some nice day, and you will find that there the sky is brighter, the sun shine is warmer and the grass is greeuer than any other spot. It is a blessing from the giver of all good gifts for the people of this Islaud. A little isla:?d where the iriner, breathing all day the powder smoke and foul gases of the mine,, may escape for an hour Into an atmosphere charged with only the purest air;. & place where the tired housewife may take the children ? no ! dange; from Hohi? ? and enjoy the sun ahine au?l tiowei>;. in fact,, where every body may get away from work and care So enjoy the beauties of nature. Mayflower island does not beloug to j the town of Pnuglao. The council has j not ?peut oue oci.i of city money on it. It belongs to the people of Douglas Island ? all of them. By voluntary sub scription they have paid for all the work that has been done. A large part of the money subscribed came from business men. Tag Day offers an I opportunity for each and every one to help a little and to show their interest in a practical manner. So when you 1 are asked to bay a tag on June 3rd, don't turn away from it, but buy oue, tie it in your button hole, and thus en courage others to do likewise. The Burned District A little over two months have elapsed since the Are on Front street,.aud today improvements are under way or com- | p let ad i#u every lot but one. The Little Douglas stands where the Fraternal ball crumbled to ashes. Wm. Stubbing and M. G. Rogers both are occupying their t:ew .-tor-is and doing business;. Anton Jlaik* is digging a foundation and will erect a two story building; the Island hotel, Kauu's building, is up two stories high and will soon be ready ;3or the roof;. Hugh Day's two-etory building is almost as ?ar ahead, as the Island; M. S. Hudson has a force of men setting foundation posts and put ting on caps. J. J. Penglase has the foundation ready for a double store,, and John Henson & Co. have men at I work clearing away the charred tim bers for a flue two-story building. That is what the boy oalie "going some." The U. S- senate has passed- a bill providing for the care ot indigent Alas kans by still further dividing up the money derived from the occupation tax. which Alaskan industries- are called upon to* pay. We consider this a case of most nobte generosity. No preparations haw been made fou! the observance of Memorial Day in Douglas. It is too bad to allow other j things to crowd oat this important matter and we hope something may yet be done. Julius Jensen has caug&t the build ing fever and will begin at once the ; erection o?a store building? 28x60 feet ? on his lot next to the Douglas Opera House. Mr. G. Roene will have charge of the construction work. The entire I building will be covered with iron, and the interior will be finished with Beaver I \oatd, I Baseball The first game of the annual series played by the baseball teams of Doug las Island and Juueau took place on the Douglas field Sunday. Each year j when the roar of the Taku wind begins j to abate and the hope of summer is re vived agaiur the baseball players gather j first around the stoves in cigar htoiee, and later in halls or offices lo a i range I for a team for the sea^ou and to devi.-e j schemes to raise the necessary fuuds. : By the time the snow is off the streets j the balls and gloves come forth and the prospective players begin to limber ; up their arm and figure on their chances to "make the team." By the time the , grounds are dry enough to play all the "fans'* are filled with excitement? and ; almost everyone on the shores of Gas tineau is a fan. So Sunday,, the day au- 1 uounced for the fir~t game, saw a fine crowd gather at the Dougla9 park, al though the day was cold aud rain threatened. The Juueau team appealed ou the field in brand new suits, across the breast o i each was, the name- of the brand of cigars, known as "Pel Puente." Some wag immediately dubbed them as "The Wooden Indians-" The Doug las team is not so fortunate as to uew suits, but we think all .of them have j fresh socks this year. Well,. the game was called aiiout two ?"block by Umpira John Stoft. Juneau was first to bat,, and it made us all feel : about a year younger to hear the famil iar voice of Capt. Dolly Gray sing out, ttCoom,uow."' The first batter up for Juneau was Hurlbut. The tirst ball pitched by Chambers tailed toward the plate and Htx I but bent his back and swatted it an awful ?wat. it went through s>hoi tstop and center field and when the excitement quieted down Harlbut was oj? second. He got to third on a wild pitch and scored on 1 an error,, making not ouly the first run of the season, but the only one that day for Juneau. Mannets, first man at bat for Dougla?, also scored in the first ; ou.
