At a meeting of the town council
Monday night it was decided to warn
all dealers in Fourth .Inly fire works
not to sell dynamite crackers. Because
?f the fact that they are terrible dan- j
gers to life and limb their sale will not
be permitted. Advocates of a "safe and
saue" celebration would eliminate the
cracker entirely, but such a coarse de
tracts much of the impressiveness of
the day, for Americans are, down at
the bottom of their hearts, a shooting,!
fighting race, and loye above all things,
the smell of gunpowder.
"Where can I get a house?" is the
question hardest to answer in Douglas,
and it is asked many times every day.
A Douglas real estate agent s-aid this
morning that he had turned away a
dozeu applicants for reut houses in the
last few days. An indication of a good
lively town, but a serious matter for
those who wish to locate here. Why
don't some local capitalist build fifteen
or tweuty rent houses?
Flowers placed on a grave in the
Douglas cemetery just before Memorial
Day disappeared in a mysterious mau ?
ner. Such vandalismcbarged to natives !
might find an excuse, but in this case j
it was not a native who afterwards dis
played the Sowers. No punishment is
too severe in >uch a cast*.
AH of t he members of the Alaska
legislature have departed from Juueau,
and the only excitement is over the ap
pointrnent of a United States commis
sioner to souceed Gruver Cleveland
Winn, who should succeed himself if
there is anything in a good democratic
name.
Something new in life preservers at !
Jensen's, it takes the place of a cush
ion and pillow, and passes inspection
on all motor boats as a life preserver.
Ask to see it when you pass by.
Roscoe Laughlin returned via the
Jefferson from Tacoma, where he was
called by the death of bis brother,
Robert. Mrs, Laugh 1 in and son, Matt,
and Mis. Bent ley went south on the
Al-Ki.
Considerable rivalry has developed
in Douglas among those who love
flowers, as to the first sweet pea. Mrs.
Dave Russell won out, when a blossom
opened its fragrant petals on Sunday,
June 1st.
The Douglas Opera House has treated
itself to a new coat of paint aud a new ;
name. Hereafter thie establishment is
to be known as the Douglas Opera
House hotel. A dining room is to be
operated in connection with the hotel J

Archie McDonald, of Portland, Ore.,,
came north on the Jefferson to spend !
the summer in Alaska. Archie lived in
Douglas a good many years,, aud wher
ever he gets tired of the beat and dust
of a Portland summer he comes back
for a time. Mrs. McDonald is at her
home in Portland.
The Civic Improvement Club will i
hold a special meeting Jane 11th, 1913s !
at the school house to make arrange
ments for the special lines of study
which the club is contemplating^ in
stead of having just one meeting a
mouth the club will have a weekly
meeting, oue evening being devoted to
mothers' welfare work, another to civic
work and another to literary worfc. AU
members and others interested in auy
one or more of thes9 lines are cordially
invited to be present next Wednesday
evening. At the end of every six- weeks
one of the departments will givea pro
gram, covering the line of its study.
Billy McCormick came north on the;
Jefferson, after an absenee of nine
year*, during which time he has lived
in Seattle. He is on bis way to Sitka
to install a cold storage plant. Billy
was in Donglas on that Fourth of July
when the gang plank broke on the
ferry dock, throwing a hundred or
more men, women and children into
the water. Billy was on the dock after
the crash and when he saw the little
children struggling ia the water, he :
threw off his coat and jumped in. Be
ing a strong swimmer he rescned a j
number of the little folks who might
tave drowned but for his timely help. ;
The First Game
The game of baseball played on the
Douglas grounds Snnday afternoon
was the first of the summer series of
ten games to be played betweeu the
Douglas Island and Juneau teams.
Each game is to be for a purse of $100
arranged for by the management of
the two teams.
Had it not been for errors the score
I
would have been nothing to nothing at
the end of the ninth inning. As it was
-Juneau scored oue in the first aud
three in the secoud.and Douglas on? in
the second, all due to ragged fielding.
It was a beautiful day ? baseball
weather waim and bright. Douglas ex
pected to win, but the fates decreed
otherwise. The boys worked hard,
tried hard, but lock was agaiust them
aud at the end of the second iuning
the score stood 4 to 1 in favor of the
dark-horse team from the capital. It
was along about this time, or a little
later, that Capt. Mausetb, of the Doug
las team, pulled off a stunt aud a
Douglas fau fell in a fit, which monop
opolized the interest of the crowd gath
ered to witness the game..
From the second to the end of the
ninth neither side could negotiate a
run. Pitt man, the new Douglas lliuger,
plainly fhowed good metal and you
could- see the smoke coming out of
Catcher Bob Cout;hliurs glove. On the
other haud, Denuy Malloy was at his
best, and with splendid support man
aged to keep Douglas from making a
score, as the only one to get a hit was
Luther Chambers. Tbe hash looked
like this:
