THEIR OLD TRICK.

"The Canadians are up to their old trick of jumping rich claims in the northern part of the Mount Baker dis trict, under the chestnutty excuse that the claims are on British territory; that the Americans are mistaken as to the boundary, which is really two miles further south, they say, than the Amer jeans have considered it for To! these many years.
 "In surveying through this rough district the stone monument boundary line markings were omitted in many places, by reason of the great difficult ty experienced in getting material to- gether. Trees were, however, sawed of and other markings established.
 "It is feared that unless Uncle Sam sends a crew of surveyors to define the boundary more plainly there will be serious trouble. If there should be- Americans will doubtless carry the day."-Seattle Times.
 The best thing that the Washington. ans can do is to pool their interests with Alaska and begin to kick right now, for if the matter is referred tc Secretary Hay he will give the disput. ed territory to Canada under modus yivendi of some sort.

AN ALL AROUND CINCH.

An exchange calls attention to the way the tax law operates in the case of the Alaska cigar maker, who not only pays an internal revenue on the cigars he manufactures, and a license tax for the privilege of manufacturing them, but also pays the United States for be. ing allowed to sell them.
 This causes the cigar manufacturer to wonder if the following words in the constitution mean anything:
 "The congress shall have power: To lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and pro vide for the common defense and gen eraI welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts, and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.
 Douglas has an instance of the blighting effects of this same tax on in dustries. There are now, in this city two first class blaming mills that are standing idle, because the prospective business will not justify the payment of the license. That's what we call a prohibitive tax.

CURE FOR PNEUMONIA.

Take six to ten onions, according to size, and chop fine; put in large spi- der over hot fire, then add about the same quantity of rye meal and vinegar enough to make it thick paste. In the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, let. ting it simmer five or ten minutes. Then put in cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply it to the chest as hot as the patient can bear. When it gets cool, apply another and thus continue by relocating the poul- tices. In few hours the patient will be out of danger.
 This simple remedy has never failed in this often fatal malady.
 Usually three or four applications will be sufficient, but continue always until precipitation starts freely from the chest.
 This simple remedy was formulated many years ago by one of the best phy- sicians New England has ever known, who never lost a patient by this dis ease and won his renown by saving persons by simple remedies after the best medical talent had pronounced their cases hopeless. Personally we know of three persons who were saved by the remedy last winter in Boston after their physicians had given them up to die, and if record was made of all similar cases during the last six years it would i'll good sized volume. -The Worlds Progress.

FOR STARVING INDIA.

There will be a special service at the Friends church next Sunday evening, for the purpose of presenting the claim that the suffering people of India have on all humanity. Alaskans know noth- ing of the kind of want and destitution that prevails in that far country. Here we all enjoy the blessing of happy and prosperous homes. There starvation and want are on every hand. A collec' tion will be taken at this meeting. All that is given will be quickly forwarded through the committees in charge to the point where it will do the most good. Attend the meeting; give what you can. Our fellow creatures are starving and Douglas Island will not refuse to help in saving their lives.

IN PARTING.

A farewell reception was given in honor of MT. and Mrs. H. Crofts by the Ladies League of the Congregational church at the church parlors last Thurs day evening. A large crowd assembled to do honor to these good people who are leaving our city, perhaps perma- nently. They go to their former home at Rock Springs, Wyoming. They have lived in Douglas for about 3 years and have the esteem and friendship of all. MT. Crofts has been, during his resi- dence here, an employe of the Alaska Treadwen Gold Mining Go. and the most of the time has had charge of the powder house.
 The best wishes of the entire com munity go with them to their future home.

HAYNES ITEMS.


 Col. Sol Ripinsky and Col. Frank Grygla made a flying trip to Skagway Friday, the 24th ut.
 The steamer Aberdeen called here on her way up with quite consignment of goods for our merchants.
 Harry Fay, one of our popular mer- chants, was passenger. on the Aber- deen to Skagway or Friday evening.
 The team belonging to M. E. Handy, our U. s. deputy marshal, ran away the other evening, scattering the wagon from here to Chilkat. Strange to say, the wagon is not badly broken; neither were the horses hurt.
 pr. Bennett Nash brought Mrs. w.. Ellison down from the Porcupine the other day and took her to the hospital at Skagway. I did not learn the par ticulars, except that Mrs. Ellison was in very dangerous condition.
 Hugh Murry, superintendent of the Pyramid Harbor Cannery, was in town Friday evening accompanied by his wife and daughters. He reports their fishing about over as they have worked up all the material they had for mak- ing cans.
 Judge Brown has dismissed our pop ular court commissioner, Sol Ripinsky, and bas so far not appointed any one in his place, which makes it very incon- venient for our people. We are annex ed to Skagway, a distance of fifteen miles, which must be travelled by wat CT, and quite often it is impossible to make the trip at all wish the judge realized how necessary it is for ns to have a commissioner here. 1 see by the News that the judge has appointed a man from Wyoming as court commis- sioner for Douglas. What is the mat ter of the men of Douglas? Is there no one there of good moral character qualified to fill that office? Mir. Editor, am opposed to having men of other states appointed to fill our offices wheE we have those right here in Alaska who are good moral men and every whit as we'll qualified to fill the offices as those whom they import, and this applies to every officer from governor down. However, the only way that 1 see to remedy these matters is to ask con- gress to give us territorial form of government and then we can elect our own officers, or at least the most of them. RIALTo.

Gloves of every kind nicely cleaned at the Alaska Laundry, Juneau.
A NEW DEPARTURE.

It has always been an unsolved prob lem in stores handling hats how to keep them from the dust and at the same time make any sort of display. The TreadwelI store has a solution in the shape of a large case, or row of ca ses, which they have recently installed in their large salesroom. Each one of the cases has places for IS hats, which are protected, when the case is closed by large sheet of transparent cellu- Ibid in the shape of cylinder. When the case is opened the hats are exposed and the celluloid swings to the back. There are twelve of these cases or com partments, capable of holding IS dozen hats. When closed, the case is dust proof.

ALL FOR GOOD.

We are informed that the report is being circulated by some uninformed person that the money collected for the Douglas cemetery will be expended in planking Third street. This is mis- take. The cemetery road begins at the edge of town and Third street is being planked by property owners on that street.
