A bowling contest is on at Treadwell,

At the meeting of the Arctic Brother
hood last night, Alex T. Nelson, M. J.
O'Connor and Chas. A. Hopp were
elected delegates to attend the A. B.
convention next, month. The place for
the holding of th^ convention is yet in
doubt. The call issued by Camp Sitka
was for .Juneau, but because there is no
camp there, Douglas Island Arctics are
urging that it be held in Douglas, and
many assurances have been received
from outsidn camps favoring this
place.
About fifteen or twenty young men
of Douglas are seriously considering
the formation of an athletic club.
Among their plans is the repairing of
t he swimming pool at the Natatoriiim
and the installation of hot and cold
showers. It is also possible that out of
this organization may develop a ball
team for the coming season, but it i- a
little too early to talk about baseball
The project is a good one and the boy.*
should receive every encouragement
possible.
A meeting of the directors of t he
Douglas Hotel (Jo., Inc., was h^ld at
Hubbard's store Friday afternoon.
Elmer E. Smith was elected presideut;
R. R. Hubbard, secretary; aud P. H.
Fox, treasurer. Mr. Johu Feusi was
appointed to secure subscriptions for
stock, aud we learn that he is meeting
with a liberal response from the busi
ness men and others. The need for a.
good hotel in Douglas is so pressing
thai no argument should be necessary
to those interested in the prosperity of
the town.
Monday morning about 7:30 o'clock
the first fire alarm heard iu Douglas
for mouths sonnded. The cause of the I
commotion was a blaze in the Tavern
C'afe resulting from attempting to fill a
gasoline tank near a blaze. Quick ac
tion on the part of Harry Rex'roth and
others who came running from John !
Feusi's store with fire extingnishers,
saved the day. The chemical solution
subdued the flames much more quickly
than any application water would have
done, and the daronge was small. If
each business hon*e would purchase at
least one of these small extinguishers,
the danger of fire in Donglas would be
reduired to the minimum point, and the
first time a blaze started it would pay
for itself ten times over.
The secoud alarm this week an
nounced a fire in the Orpheum theatre,
in the Board of Trade building, at 7:30
this morning. The vigorous and ex 1
tended ringing of the alarm indicated
that the tire was serious iu its nature. ;
Great volumes of smoke were issuing
from the building. Two streams of
water were turned ou and at that it
wh^ more than half an hour before the
blaze was under control. The theatre
id in a rather dilapidated coudition,
with holes chopped in the roof and
everything drenched with tons of water.
The origin of the fire is something of a j
mystery, but is generally credited to
the electric light wires. As soon as the
fire started, Lineman Uuerrin climbed
a pole and cut off the entire building.
In spite of this fact, several of the fire
men, including Chief Shafer aud As
sistant Blain complained of receiving
severe shocks while working iu the
burning building. For once Douglas
was blessed with an elemeut of good
luck, for the morning was perfect and
not a breath of wind was blowing.
Several of the firemen were pretty
thoroughly drenched with water. Sev
eral superstitious citizens are saying
this makes two, and there will be a
third ? look out for it.
