Alaska Climate.

The climate of Alaska is very much misunderstood abroad. The winters are not near so severe as they are sup posed to bc. and we do not complain of cold weather but of excessive rainfall. Of course we have some storms, but along the oceans shore where the prin- cipal towns are located, they seldom arrive Co the dignity of blizzard. Thus far this winter we have had two storms, and the wind was the worst part. We do have some daisy winds, and the names they bear are in this part of the earth really charming. Down at Fort Wrangel when the wind blows from fifty to sixty miles an hour it is called a "Stikecn." At Douglas City and Juneau, wind tEat fops over the tops of the big mountains that surround the cities and blows thin dogs off of the wharf and otherwise engages in sundry and divers tiirta- tions is called a "Taku," which is pro nounced "Tarku," however. At Sitka, where the main ocean strikes the town it is called the "OId Nick" himself, while at Skaguay, which is much far ther north than this, they call it "Near- ly H-l.' Yes, Alaska winds have picturesque and expressive names, but one thoroughly acquainted with them will tell you they are deserving of elo- ouent and euphoncous designations.

MEETING 0F JUNEAU ELKS.
They Fleet in the Juneau Opera House. A Large Attendance.
 4 Second Solomon.
THORNTON ONTO HIS JOB.

Juneau has a fioTishing lodge of Elks that is composed of the best men
 in our sister city. There are more mysteries to the outsider concerning this popular secret order than any oth
 CT we believe, and why it should be so
 we cannot explain. One thing that
 makes the order so popular, no doubt is. that it is up-to-date-it is modern and extremely original so far as the
 outside world is permitted to know. The manner of entertaining its friends in quasi-public manner is extremely original and unique.
 The Elks, of Juneau, concluded to entertain their members and guests, and last Thursday night at9 o'clock was
 the time set. On such an occasion, instead of issuing invitations the de-
 sired guests are subp@nad. The writ
 is directed to the marshal and his ] deputies and the seal of the lodge Is attached. The writer was subpBnad, and of course had to go, or be in con- tempt of court. A little after nine o'clock we went into the opera house. We had never been able to attend such a gathering before and happy surprises greeted us from the time we entered the room until we left. On entering the room we observed four tables, each about sixty feet long, and the mem
 bers and guests were sitting around them. On these tables were scores of cigar boxes filled with good smoking tobacco, and an abundance of clay and cob pipes and boxes of matches. Ev- erybody smoked. It was really the most free and easy crowd of men we ever gazed upon.
 Presently Judge Delaney appeared on the platform and rapped for order. The Judge is the Exalted Ruler, the
 principal officer of the lodge. He made a neat little address in which he spoke of the order and its aims, admonlshed those present that small fines would be imposed and that there would be plen- ty of funds to repay for all eXpendi- lures. He told the truth. Judge De laney then introduced the Judge" It was Mir. Thornton, and when he ap- peared he was greeted with storm of applause. The Judge has heretofore presided at these gatherings, and he is a good one sure. His first official act was to appoint Jim McClusky Chief of Police and George Walker as sistant. He gave the Chief an alleged policeman's club and the assistant sand club stuffed with wool or hair. He then called for the secretary, Mir. Wangenhein. He was not at his post, but was fined five dollars for his tardi- ness. The Chief of Police was called forward and the Judge took his club. In the end he found receptacle ln which small black bottle was hid. He was promptly fined one dollar for Carrying concealed weapons. Numer- ous fines were imposed and each vic

tim got a "horse laugh" About this time the chief was ordered to bring up the fellows from Douglas Island. All those that the officers could find were lined up on the stage. The News man not being acquainted with the chief of police and his assistant aped for the time. 1t was an awful gang. They just stood there and looked loony.
 Now" says the Judge, "the last time we met, fined some Douglas ls- land fellows twenty-five cents a piece, and when they got home they said l wasn't onto my job, for letting them off so cheap. will fine myself half dol lar for my mistake, but you fellows will each pay one dollar" The boys paid the fine, enjoyed the morse laugh" marched down to their seats.
 One of the many funny things that occurred was the appointment of a committee of walters and "beer jerk CTS" The Judge appointed prominent men who put on white aprons and car ried lunch and beer to the various ta- bles. It was comical to see some way up" merchant or professional man with awhite apron on going from table to table filling up the glasses of the mcm- bers and guests. Lawyer Blacket es- pecially cut very fine figure behind the spotless linen. Deputy U. $. Mar shal, George Kostrometinott, who measures way up just below the belt, carried beer to the boys ill pictur- esque and eloquent manner. George is a rattling good fellow and the Judge concluded to touch him up a lit tie. The chief was ordered to conduct him to the stage. He was taken up beside the judicial officer and the crowd gave him a hearty greeting.
 "When the United States bought Alaska" said the Judge, "this man was included in the purchase. We bought and paid for him. We didn't get much for our money and 1 will fine him two dollars for being in United States ter ritory." George paid the fine and the crowd laughed.
 Tho two Georges. we mean George Blanchard and George Burford, are clerks in Koehler-James Mercantile Co.'S store and some one reported them to Judge Thornton. Bring these two Georges before me-" said his honor to the chief of police. They were soon standing before the Judge, who said to them that it came to his knowledge that while the firm was taking an m- voice of stock George Blanchard asked George BurfOrd to invoice some thread and instructed him to measure the same. and that he did so and reported that the spool was three inches short. Now" said Judge Thornton to George Burford, T will fine you fifty cents for being such d chump and George Blan- chard will pay fine of the same amount for setting up such job on a fellow employee"
 About this time two men undertook to step into the adjoining room. They were marched up and fined.
 The assistant chief of police finally got tip that we were from Douglas Island. Our arrest followed. The judge evidently knew that newspaper men are always broke and he let us off with fine of half dollar. The grub we ate and the beer we drank was worth twice that much, so we are one of the fellows that are ahead of the judge.
