Gus an affair as had been hoped for.
The representatives did not get to-

exclusion of everyone except the
members the storm broke with the
suggestion OF tho endorsement OF s.

warm and after one man had left

ton from MIR. Wells that no action

USED TOO MUCH EXPLOSIVE.
leth, NEinn.-The Jail Burned and a Prisoner Cremated.

Duluth, Minn., April 16.-Telephone advices received from Eveleth report the destruction by fire, Monday night, of the city jail, and the blowing up of the Duluth, Missabe < Northern railroad depot by burglars at that place.
 In the jail fire an unknown prison CT was burned to death.
 Several hours later burglars blew up the depot safe. They overesti- mated the amount of nitroglycerine needed, and as result there was a report that awoke the entire town, shattering windows in the houses for blocks around. When the citizens reached the scene of the explosion the station lay in ruins, and the debris had caught fire from the stove. The flames were extinguished and then an unsuccessful search was made for the safe. It was too big to carry away, and it is thought it must have been blown into pieces too small for recovery.
 Nothing whatever could be found of the burglars, and it is not known whether they were killed or made their escape.

Douglas Island news., 1902-04-16
At Last.

Last Monday the Douglas Natatori- um and Gymnasium was thrown open to the public. This is an institution that the people of this community have watched with hearty interest, and at times with some misgivings, as to its ultimate completion. But it stands to- day, we hope, lasting monument to the enterprise and push of the business men and citizens of Douglas Island.
 The main hall or Gymnasium depart ment contains 5000 feet of floor space and the annex, with it's immense swim ming pool, shower baths, dressing rooms, and the engine room, cover as much more. The whole building is lighted by electricity and heated by steam. It is surely an institution of which we may we'll be proud.
 What will the Natatorium and Gym nasium do for Douglas Island? The conditions in frontier town in Alaska are peculiar. Because of the continued rains during large part of the year there are many days when outdoor sports with their attendant health giv- ing exercises are impossible. Here will be found a splendid substitute. Here the young people may enjoy relaxa- ton from the restraints of the home, the school, and society, and by giving, full and free play to their muscles, att tain to the stage of development neces- sary for perfect manhood and woman hood.
 The preacher says that cleanliness is next to godliness, and we believe that the system of baths that are so inex- pensiye that they might be called free

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1902.

In re the question of territorial gov ernment for Alaska, a correspondent of the Juneau Record -Miner,~ who signs himself "W. K" presents the sub feet in rather an unsavory manner. He contends that territorial government is headed this way and is, in fact, bound to come, and therefore the towns that now oppose it should get in line, so as to share in the division of spells. He says: "When it comes, if we are not in the band wagon at the head of the pa rade, the Lord help us. They will not throw nice juicy plums at us,-those other follows. They will give us the windfalls and there may be some rot ten eggs mixed with them. This is something to think about. It affects our pockets, gentlemen" That kind of rot may have it's effect on some of the citizens of Juneau, but not many. "W. K" argues like a politician, but not like a business man and tax payer. It is to be hoped that he will have some thing better to present, if he comes again.
