RETROSPECTIVE AND
OTHERWISE.

The Douglas Island News is now two years old. With this issue it begins the third year of it's existence. During the past we have tried in our humble way to chronicle the happenings in the district, to give to our readers a sum- mary of events that go to make up the everyday life of our people, and to present to the outside world a picture of the industries that have made Alaska almost synouomous with riches. We have encountered difficulties that we have not always overcome, but the fact that our efforts have been appreciated, atones for all the distress of defeat.
 Again and again we have felt the kind breath of friendship and fellowship, and we realize that the good people of Douglas Island are loyal to the News. During the past six months our circu- Iation has increased to a remarkable extent, and we are gratifed. During the coming rear we hope to reach every home on the Island. \ continuation of the hearty cooperation of the past is asked for this purpose.
 The News can say, and not boastful Iy, either, that it has been the instru- meut of much good during the period of its existence as a disseminator of in- formation. New projects for the bene- fit of the community have received a vigorous and determined support and many things have been accomplished that will stand when our pen has ceas- ed to be useful. In every point where the good name of Douglas has been at, tackled our attitude has been firm and fearless, and tho future policy will be as in the past.
 The News stands first for Douglas Island and her welfare and local inter ests are always made paramount to all others. The general welfare of the dis triet comes next and our columns are 1 always open to the cause of Alaska.

HOME AGAIN.

Mr. J. F. Mcdonald and family re- turned last Saturday afternoon from Haines. where the family has spent the summer, Mir. Mcdonald being interest ed in the Porcupine mines. They are cordially welcomed back to their home in our city.
 Jack, as Mir. Mcdonald is familiarity called by almost everyone in Douglas, has never lost his interest in the growth and prosperity of Douglas and kept himself posted as to the march of i'm proYement here by faithfully reading the News during his absence. He is known as the father of the Douglas Fire Department and began to interest himself in its welfare as soon as he re- turned.
 Jack is very positive in his state ments in regard to the boundary ques- tion and says that undoubtedly the British have taken possession of a large strip of American territory with the in teution of holding it permanently. When asked as to the status of the American miuer in this disputed terri tory, that has been given over to Brit ain by Secretary Hay, he said:
 If the American miner does not rep resent his claim every P hours it is held to be open for relocation, but not by citizens of the United States. Only Canadian can locate it then If that don't look as if the British intend to hold that country, what does if look like?
 aA party of British were waiting at Haines seemingly for the news from the election. The American miners were building a wagon road from Haines to the Poreupine and when the news reached there of the reelection of Nc Kinley they quit work to man. The Canadians immediately took their places to finish the road The general opinion is that the U. S. government will give up that entire country to the British, and American miners, expect ing to be robbed of their rights, refused to do any more work.

NEED PROTECTION.

EDITOR DOUGLAS ISLAND NEWS: In your issue of Oct. 31st you had an item in regard to the troops being sent to Haines. We perhaps don't need protec- tion. But since we are left without commissioner or marshal, and the In dians dare to seek admission at mid night with loaded revolvers at the doors of our homes, when the husband is ab- sent, and can boldly go to another home when the family are all asleep and break in the door, and when they are permitted to maliciously break every window i'll mans house and enter and carry off what they wish during the ab
 sence of the owners, think, if we don't need officials, we had better get more religion or protection, as the amount we have on hand does not seem suffic- tent to improve the existing state of af- fairs. JUSTICE.

FUNDS FOR SICK SOLDIERS.
Thousands of Dollars Being Raised
by English People.

London, Feb. 1S.-As the conviction
grows in Great Britain that the war will
be long, the efforts for providing for the
sick and wounded and the families of the
soldiers at the front are redoubling. There
is scarcely woman in England who, in
addition to making articles of clothing,
for those in the field and in the hospitals,
is not working for and contributing to
some social fund.
Mrs Arthur Paget's entertainment to-
night brought in over $4,000 for the fami-
lies of the household troops, in which her
husband is colonel of the Scots Guards,
the Mansion House fund exceeds SO, ,450, ,000
the Daily Telegraph's fund amounts to
$685., 600. and the Daily Mails totals 1885,
600. These amounts cover only the larger
London funds, and do not include numer-
Gus provincial funds of large amounts be-
ing raised TO equip volunteers.
The equipment for the yeomanry hos
pitals has just left England for the Cape.
The ladies at the head of this charity have
now decided to raise funds to keep the
hospital going for six months, and have
issued an appeal to the English, Scotch
and Irish residents of the United States.

Two hours later she was stil broad

gale.
Tonight she was regarded as hopeless,
The remainder of the officers and crew,
who had been left aboard the vessel, were
taken off to-day in the breeches buoy dur
ing a southeast gale. They are quartered
at the Moriches life saving station.
The stranded steamer has been forced
high up on the beach aud the wreckers
are of the onnion that she cannot be
gotten off. Although she is being pound
ed by the breakers, she is making very
little water and appears Tonight to be in
a good condition.

MONEY FOR THE MILITARY.
New Army Appropriation Bill Car
rics Sill ,7OO,364.


Washington, Feb. 13.-The House Com
mittee on Military Affairs to-day COM
pleted the army appropriation bill. IL car
ries $l11, ,7OOS64 against $so,0sO.104 in the
bill for the current year. The great SEEM
ing increase is accounted for by the fact
that the appropriations for the current
fiscal year were inadequate and the urg-
ent deficiency bill recently passed carried
a large additional appropriation for the
army for the current year.
The bill includes an appropriation of
$50 $50 for cable and telegraph lines to
connect the military posts in Alaska with
headquarters at st. MichaeTs.
The new legislation in the bill also in
cludes the following:
The payment of longevity pay of regu-
lar officers holding volunteer rank upon
their rank In the regular establishment;
an increase of 20 per cent. in the pay of
enlisted men and 10 per cent. in the pay
of officers serving beyond the limits of the
United States; the return to the states OF
quartermasters' stores taken into the serv-
ice of the United States during the war
with Spain; for firing morning and even
ing guns at national homes for disabled
volunteer soldiers, and for the admission
to such homes of officers and soldiers who
served In the late war with Spain, or who
have or shall serve in the Philippines.

THE RIVER is STILL RISING.
Electric Plant and Cotton Mills Shut
Down mt Columbus.

Columbus, Ca, Feb. 1S.-The moon alone
saved Columbus from being in utter dark
ness tonight.
The Chattahoochee river continued to
rise all day. The lighting and power COM
pany made no attempt to turn a wheel to-
night on account of high water.
In one department of the Museogee mill
the water stands six feet deep and all the
mills using water or electric power are
shut down.
Back water covers the track Of Mobile
and Girard Railroad for two or three
miles at the brick yard. But as there Is
no current there 1t does not come up TO
boilers of the engines. Trains are running
all right.
Fears for the safety of the bridges have
not subsided. The greatest danger is from
drifting wood and tmbers. The current
is 80 swift that large timbers striking the
piers may weaken them and cause the
bridges 10 go.
The quantity of timber adrift shows
that bridges on streams running into the
river above have been swept away.
