Annual COnclave.

grand commandery Of Knights Templar
OF Pennsylvania, which is to be held in
Altoona, May 23rd and oath, will be
largely attended. 1t is estimated that
1000 visitors will be in attendance.
The Tribune says that elaborate prepar-

or hotels have been asked to contribute
anything for the entertainment of the
visiting Knights Templar and therefore
will expend greater sum in making
the streets attractive than has been

Good draft horses are becoming scarce
IN some sections Of the country and are
in great demand. Horse buyers are
paying $3.50 for the same class of horses
that only brought S75 two years ago.
The reason for this sharp advance is
due to the fact that few horses have
been raised in the past i've years. Elec'
tricity supplanted the horse to great
extent, and farmers found that there
was no market for horses. Present
prices will stimulate the raising Of
heavy horses.

POST OFFICE BUSINESS.

For a long time the Douglas City post office has been a positive drag to the town, holding it back. The patrons of the post office have been very good natured about it and they have become so accustomed to getting their mail just when it pleased some carrier to bring it over from Juneau, that they don't seem to realize at present that they have any rights in the matter. So the business of the office has run down, a great deal of it going to Juneau. MT. Stuhbins, the present postmaster, is making an effort to increase the busi- ness so as to make at least third class office. This he will nearly accomplish the present quarter. But all local effort amounts to very little so long as the steamers carrying the mail fail to stop as they come up the channel, but go on past our wharf taking our mail to Juneau. How long this will last we can't tell but one thing is certain. The people of Douglas Island feel that the post office department is doing them a great injustice.

HAYNES MISSION, Aug. 22d, 1S9'

HAYNES MISSION, Aug. 22d, 1899.
 The writer arrived in this city last night and many changes have taken place since his last visit, which occurred last winter. The trip up was made on that magnificent little boat, the Flosie, and I will have much to say about her and her crew later on.
 HaineS now has good wharf with a landing about 1000 feet long, and it is a great convenience to travellers and shippers. The town is about two or three times as large as 1t was when 1 was up before and seems to be going ahead.
 But am on my way into the interior and will not take time to write up Haines until my return. My old friend, P. R. Mcclure, was at the dock to meet me and he will escort me into the al- legged land of gold.
 1 visited the mining exchange this morning, which is in charge of MT. l.. l.. Bales, formerly of Whatcom, Wash ington. My trip up is principally to investigate the placer propositions, but l am very much surprised to see the display of quartz and copper ores that have been discovered near this place, and some of these propositions are already changing hands at good price.
 The City of Seattle was in the bay this morning about six o'clock and re- mained but half hour and pulled out for the north. That grand little steamer Wolcott was also on the dock for short time.
 A number of men are starting for the Porcupine today and 1 must join the procession. With miners shoes, leg gins, a woolen shirt and suitable kinks or dints in the top of my hat, am be. ginning to feel like full hedged miner. The dints in the top of my hat were put in early this morning.

TIE NEWS ABROAD AND AT HOME.
Alaska Journalism a Safe Proposition.-WO- mems Tears.-Threats That Went for
 Naupht

A gentleman we do not person. ally know, but who holds a high off cial position, recently read copy of the ''great religious weekly" The dis tinguished gentleman made the fol lowing kindly reference to the News:
 X x X < "I was much impressed with the appearance and tone of your paper Having once engaged in the newspaper business myself, think l can recog- niZe a newspaper when l see one, and 1 can certainly compliment you both on the appearance and the matter of the Douglas Island News"
 We thank the gentleman and can also inform him that the people of Douglas City and Juneau join him in saving kind words in behalf of this paper. Women and children no longer cry for it. as was the rule when the paper started, but that is because they have all become regu- lar subscribers.
 We have recently, however, had to change carriers, and in the change the boys failed to find some of our sub. scribers, and it was for few days after publication day a sOrrOwful sight to
 
 children como to this office for their paper with tears rolling down their cheeks. The News man was up at the Crows Nest one day last week, and while there, two strong, sturdy men approached the News man and each, with handkerchief in one hand and three dollars in the other, in pleading tones asked to be put down on our carrier list.
 While on the subject, we might add that at no time do we consider that our life was in danger since commence ing the publication of the News. Capt Martin expressed desire to throw the writer in the bay one day last week, but at our earnest solicitation ,refrained from doing so. Manager COrbus has, on several occasions, acted as if it would be a satisfactory condition of affairs if we were annihilated off of the face of the earth, and Mir. Blum, one of our best patrons, of Juneau, has called us hard names, but, with the exception of few of these harmless little incl dents, the course of the News has been through still waters.
 The News is here, and here to stay. "Watch it grow"

ThoroughalIy Tested.

There is a firm in Chicago, Illinois, called "The Royal Tailors," and they manufacture, from carefully taken measurements by competent agents, anything in the men's clothing line, from the ordinary, everyday business suits to the highest grade dress suits and overcoats. Mir. P. H. Fox of this city has sent this excellent firm hun dreds of orders and in every instance the clothing has been satisfactory. One can hardly believe that these Chicago people can get up such good clothing at so low price. MT. Fox has recently received a new line of samples, and if you are in need of anything in the clothing line, go and see the samples, get prices and you will surely give him an order.
