Pi, Pie, Pious.

Last Friday evening the Christian Endeayorers of the Congregational Church gave pie social The pastor announced the previous Sunday even ing that it would be a very "piouS al fair. he thought, as there would be pies of all kinds and so it proved to be. The attendance was not large, for the snow fell thick and fast. although otherwise the evening was pleasant. In theory tbe social was well planned, there were numerous entertaining games, and II anybody would neither talk nor play he couId sit down and look aft the stereo- scopic views. or exercise his wits on this style of puzzles: "rutht sirecoluSp conomieze ti." The foregoing Is an illus tration. not one of the puzzles used. In theory everyone should have been well entertained. and they may have been. but there were quite a numbc o1 strangers and some young men and women went alone to Supper-a more energetic committee on introduction might have brought these two classes together. The pies and coffee were both theoretically and practically cor rect and the young ladies served the lunch in most acceptable manner and we trust to the financial betterment of the society. It was both a pleasant and profitable evening to those attending.

The Missionaries Can Move Out.

Alaska will be made the model coun- try of the earth in the passage ot the criminal code for this district, winch places the liquor licenses so high that there will be but few saloons. The penalties for gambling are very severe and prostitution is to be entirely stopped. If the law is enforced, and we presume it will be, there will be no further need for the missionaries, for everybody will be good-compelled to be good by force of the statute. The little, quiet game of poker will furnish no more pastime for the old tanks" and the dance hall doors will be closed to the boys from the mines. There will be no more neighing after your neigh bor's wives and the News will not be run as religious paper. Congress has been slow in doing anything for Alaska but when the movement came it was a holy terror.

A Joke on Bro. Russell,

The wide awake editor of the Record recently visited Chicken Ridge---a part of Juneau that bears that name. He expected to find some chicken roosts there, not knowing that the name only indicated suburb of the city across the channel, In describing his feelings, Bro. Russell says: "We sauntered forth with visionary expect ations in our mind" Poor fellow! He was chicken hungry and must have been terribly disappointed.

THE DIRIGO 0N THE ROCKS
Forty-Six Hours on the Rocks and Damaged to the Extent
 of $3O, 100000.
TO BE REPAIRED AT DOUGLAS

The fine steamship, Dirigo. was lowed to Juneau last Saturday evening by the British steamer Tees, not being able to move an inch with her own power. She ran onto the rocks down at Midway Is land last Thursday night, at about ; d. m, and remained there for some 4G hours. She met with this mishap at high tide and at low tide the crew patched up the holes, of which there were a good many. and with the use of the pumps she was kept ailoat.
 Midway Island is about B miles from this place There was a severe snow storm prevailing at the time that the boat struck the rocks and she was but little out of her course, for if she had been 100 yards further in she would have avoided the accident that will cost her owners so dearly.
 There were lOO passengers aboard and otherwise the vessel was heavily loaded with miscellaneous cargo, and also 10 head of horses and five oxen, none of which were lost. although l23 pieces of fresh meat were dumped into the bay. that being the total loss. The ship took water very rapidly after striking the rocks and the cargo, with slight exceptions, will be total loss.
 The Dirigo commenced discharging last Sunday afternoon at o'clock and when empty she will be beached and repaired sufficiently to permit her be- ing lowed to Seattle or Tacoma, where she will again be put in tirst-class con dition.
 The engines, which were modern and of the very best, are badly twisted and out of alignment. The boilers also shifted out of position. To put the boat in proper shape will require an expenditure of from 325OO0 to S3O,OOO.
 The Dirigo was originally built for a steam schooner, and after making few trips to Alaska she was OverhauIcd and made into a good freight and passenger boat. Even while running with poor accommodations she became a favorite in Alaska waters, and when overhauled she was regarded as one of the best boats that engaged in the Alaska trade.
 Roberts is her captain. He was for merly on the City of Seattle and was in command of the Willapa when she went down to the bottom of the sea. The other officers are Nichols, pilot; May, mate; Leut, chief engineer; Brag- don, second, and Bailey, third assistant; LaFarge, purser, and Russell, steward
 The passengers speak very highly of the conduct of the officers while facing the dangers of an absolute loss of the vessel and the many lives on board.

Good Indians.

We have often heard it said that there are no good Indians but dead In dians. but few visits to the Friends Mission in this city have caused us to form an entirely different opinion, however. If some of the native attend ants are not in earnest and honest Ill their protestations they are the most accomplished hypocrites the writer ever had the pleasure to behold. Those who still doubt the possibility Of the complete reformation of an Indian are invited to attend one of these meetings and judge for themselves.
 Rev. RepIogle is earnest and indefa- tigable in this work and deserves to see his work crowned with ultimate suc- cess. Douglas City may well be proud of this man and all should come to his aid wherever and whenever it is possl- blc. for. even from a moral standpoint, the elevation and enlightenment of the native population is a long step for ward in the upbuilding of country.

Soldiers are Grateful

Twenty-four employees of the Stude.
baker factory at South Bend, enlisted
during the Spanish American war and
were in service from April 26 to Nov. 1.
During that period the Studebsker CON-
pany continued their names on the pay
roll at their regular rate of daily earn
ings. Upon their return from the war
they were reinststed This kindness
was duly appreciated, and on Tuesday
morning the soldiers presented the stu.
debaker manufacturing company a
handsome memorial in grateful remem-
brance OF the generosity of the COM
pany. 1t is embellished with apt color
ings and contains the names of each of
the soldier boys. The amount of money
paid the men during their absence ag-
gregsted between $4,000 and $1,000.

stead of placing pipe IL the bed of the
river he proposes to dredge the river 10
those parts where it is clogged. He
would then use the water from the
large flowing well at ZehDer's mill to
keep constant current in the river bed

Should the water of the one flowing
well be insufficient, other wells
could be drilled. Where there is flow

could not cause an epidemic.

CAN'T KEEP MORMON ROBERTS OUT.

William E. Curtis, Washington
correspondent to the Chicago Rec

following paragraph:
The committee on rules and the
best parliamentarians agree that the
house of representative cannot ex-
pei Mr.. Roberts or even try him for
polygamy any more than it can try
another member for forgery or muir
der. If Mr.. Roberts is convicted of
polygamy in the regular courts and
a certified copy of the record is fur
nished to the house, that will prob
ably be accepted as evidence Of his
disqualification, just as if some other
member should be convicted of muir
der, forgery or arson.

present and was ready to proceed.
He is anxious to get the matter off
his hands. 1t is intimated that the
reason for asking for more time by
the state, was that an effort to tam

So far as the townships are {

So far as the townships are con-
cerned, the reformers have got in
their work. If the anticipated re-
duction in township taxes is not re-
allied, the tax payer will be at lib
erty to pass jude ment, but until
then let him keep still and hope for
the best. The new law should have
fair test. If it works well its
makers will receive due credit if
otherwise, the people will see to it
that it is repealed.-Columbia City
