SIR 1H0S. Upton
NAV Again Challenge For
The Americas Cup
PRINCE Ed WARD Of WALES
Now Has a Tutor..A Scottish
Opinion

London, july l6.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton has refused TO confirm the state
ment that he will challenge ag lin for
the Americas cup. He has, how
ever, expressed the opinion that the
Cup could be won by a British boat.
He added that, should he later decide
to challenge, the designing OF the
yacht would be instructed to Messrs.
Fife and Watson conformity. He was
willing to waive his right t. chal enge,
and ia the event Of another Compel
tor forthcoming he promised to give
him every assistance.
The father Of Ian Malcon, M. F.,
who has just married Miss Jeanne
Langtry, recently succeeded to the
valuable Scotch estates of Poltalloch
on the death oil Lord Malcolm. The
Scotchmen in the neighb )rhood con-
slider themselves to be very good
judges of beauty and character. ''Be
she bath guild and bonny she'll be a
fitting mate for him as will be Polta.
lloch himself one day." said an old
friend Of the young NJ. P. "But
Langtry is just a flippant bit name in
the sound O. it," Evidently the fut-
ure mistress OF the old %Argyleshire
house will have to win her kingdom
il she is to reign in the hearts Of her
husbands henchmen.
Lewis Jaeger is, among Wallets, re.
ga rded as one of the greatest among
men Of his calling. He is the valet of
the Prince Of Wales His brother,
George Jaeger, is an adjutant OF the
Salvation Army Of Akron, O. The
street preacher does not envy his
brother, who is valet In name only, as
the actual work Of polishing the
royal Princes shoes and OF creasing
his trousers is performed by lesser
Wallets under him.
Prince Edward Of Wales, notwith.
standing his tender years, has now
been provided with a guide, philoso.
pher and friend. Mr.. Hansell, who
has accepted the responsibility Of
preparing the future Edward VIII 4,
for the Career of a King" was one
of the most popular OF Magdalen men.
He is agood athlete, but in due meas
ure, and while at Oxford he was
known to his friends and foes by the
sobriquet Of "Chang," owing to his
immense height and to his supposed
resemblance to the willy Chinese. Mr..
Hansell, though still quite young, has
tutored several %well.known people, his
first pupil having been MI. George
Spepcer-Churchill while more lately,
he has has charge Of Prince Arthur Of
Connaught. 1t was while be was act
ing in the latter capacity that he was
presented to the Prince and Princess
Of Wales, who apparently formed, a
high opinion him. Now Mr. Hansell's
appointment as tutor to the two elder
sons of the Prince Of Wales has been
formally approved by the King.

According to the Juneau Dispatch, the Hon. T. s. Novel; wants the citi- zens of Juneau and Douglas Island to unite in an effort to secure congress sional appropriations for the construc- tion of permanent channel from Cas- tineaux channel to Lynn canal by way of the Bar The success of this enter prise would greatly facilitate the hand ling of the bullion from the large mill which stands near the upper end of Douglas Island.
 Among the new enterprises launched in this city during the last few months is the Douglas City Brewing company. A complete brewing plant has been in- stalled at the cost of good many thousand dollars, and Douglas people may now have the satisfaction of drink ing home made beer, which is far supe- rior to any brought to this market. Every store, every shop, every factory of any kind that is added to our town places us that much higher in the scale of cities and increases our importance. The Douglas City Brewing company is entitled to liberal patronage, not only in recognition of the enterprise of it's promoters, but also because of the su- perior article manufactured. While we appreciate our friends and neighbors of our sister cities, it is the institutions in our own town that make our city prosper, and to them we owe our pat ronage and support. So, if you want glass of good, clean, wholesome lager beer, ask for the Douglas product-Red Top Beer.
 The spirit of commercialism is rife in the land and permeates the atmosphere from Ketchikan to Klukwan. Men with money to invest, or experience to expend, are keeping the flies off of the distant horizon to the end that anything in the nature of good investment may not be obscured. Some of the more en- terprising have already cuddled up along side of an opportunity and look real comfortable, the bright light of ex- pectancy which illuminates their soul- ful countenances, flooding the country for miles around. Perhaps the most notable instance of far-sighted policy is to be found in an enterprise launched at Ketchikan. We refer to the electric light and water power plant just com pleted there. Among the eminent financiers and commercial strategists behind this enterprise are mentioned his honor, Judge M. C.. Brown, of the district court, and Clerk Hills. They, in company with local capitalists, have engineered the proposition to success ful completion. We congratulate our southern neighbor on her good fortune, present and prospective, as we under stand, now that a bountiful supply of pure water has been obtained, that term of the district court will be held there this fall. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, and Godliness is next to ev- erything. The first person to discover coincidence in the foregoing will be entitled to copy of the Douglas Is- land News for one year at the regular subscription rates of s per.

 The Eagles entertainment at Natato- rum Hall last Wednesday evening was quite literally attended.

His wife will probably ac. company him.
 A peculiarity of the postal service which has escaped the notice of the az itators and petitioners is the length of time it takes letter to come from Jul neau to Douglas. A patron of the News posted business letter at the Juneau office August 2nd. This letter arrived at Douglas August 5th, having made the trip across the channel in the re- markedly short time of three days. A four-day service from the Sound is a lulu compared to this.
