COOK INLET LETTER.

Kenai, July 4th-As usual we had shower of rain this morning to dampen everything in readiness for the display of fireworks and shooting of firecrackers. The American colors are flying all over town, and at high noon we fired the national salute of 21 guns. All the Americans here have combined forces, and we are to have quite pyrotechnic display this evening, although no set pieces as were seen at the Worlds Fair.
 We had . very heavy thunder shower a week ago, and the most vivid lightning that has ever been seen here.
 Everything is looking fresh and green, and the rain did the gardens a world of good.
 Fish are running very well, and all the canneries are quite a num- Der of cases ahead of what they were last year at this time.
 The mining companies of this vicinity are all working, and are doing; very nicely. Mir. Weible, whose property is near Sunrise, had his camp destroyed by forest fire, but it has not delayed him very much.
 The hunting parties from the other side oi the inlet have been rather successful. F. F. Paget, oi Victoria, B. C., has just returned from two months hunt for bear in the neighborhood of Snug har- Dor and Chinitna Bay with five very fine brown bears. Col. C. Cane, of the Home Militia, Lon. don, Eng, Is still over there in company with Mir. Little, of Victo. ria, B. c.
 l understand that there has been quite quartz strike in the Kodiak District, but have not full particu. lars.
 Among the social events, I might mention that Mrs.H. NJ. Weather. bee, wife of Supt. Weatherbee ot the Alaska Packers Association at Kussiloff, gave a "pink tea" last week to some ladies visiting iron Kenai.
 Dr. Mills of Wood Island, cam, up on the last 'Tonquin." and vii remain about a month. He Ina. found quite a few patients around the canneries, who were very mucl pleased te see a doctor.
 Mt. Redout has been rather quiet lately. ..

Base Ball Game.

The base ball game last Sunday between Ft. Liscum and Valdez teams was a very interesting game, and was played much better than the one on the fourth, and resulted to score of s to 13 in favor of the soldiers.
 The first three.innings were play ed without q score on either side.
 The Valdez team showed wonder ful improvement, and what they can do if they only get a little prac- tise.
 Goodell- was a little weak, but the wonder of the soldiers. They could not hit him, although he threw slow ball.
 At the end of the fifth inning he had to give up, and Roberts took his place for two innings and then Hunter relieved Roberts. Both these players will make good pich- CTS with practise.
 After Goodell quit pitching the Liscum team scored a number of runs. Griswold caught the entire game and made couple of fine hits. Holland made three runs for the home team, Stowe made several good plays. as did Hunter. Rummage on third was new player, but is all right. KOon showed marked improvement.
 The boys expect to perfect an and several of our business men and citizens have of tered to donate various sums toward buying suits for them, This should be done immediately. if at all, as the summer will soon be gone.
 The Lsscum team played good game. Their fielders do good work as do also the other members 0. the team.
 Happy Hooligan" Me Donald umpired for the soldiers and J. J. Godfrev for the home team.

The School Board.

The new school board, consisting of Judge John Goodell, Adam Swan and H. H. Hildreth, met last Saturday, and after qualifying be- fore Judge Lyons, organized by electing Judge Goodell as chairman and H, H. Hildreth secretary.
 The new board decided that as there were too many grades for one teacher, they would employ two for the ensuing term, and they elected Miss Collison, formerly principal of the Juneau public schools, as prin- cipal and Miss Alice Leedy as as- sistant. Miss Collison was very highly recommended to. the board as an excellent teacher. It Is not known yet whether she will accept or not.
 The school house is to be painted and q new room added as soon as possible, and it is hoped that one teacher may commence school on Monday, July 2lst, and the other as soon as the building is enlarged While there are but few children here, yet there are r number of diff ferent grades, and it is thought there may be one high school class this year. There are ample funds for the use of the school board. and they propose to have one of tn, best schools in Alaska, and as good as will be found in the states.

A PLEASANT DANCE.

Last Saturday evening a very pleasant dance was held at Moose hall under the management of the social club. Notwithstanding that the arrangements were .hurriedly made, the affair was we'll attended and very much enjoyed by all. Among the visitors in town who were present were Mir. J. w. Hills, wife and son of Juneau; Mir. J. b. Meenach and family, of Ellamar, accompanied by Miss NJ. Ward of Seattle; Mir. Cornforth of Knik, and our old friend Capt. Moore The dance ended shortly after mid night, and most of the dancers strolled out on the wharf to bid bon voyage to the visitors depart ing on the Excelsior.
 Among those who returned from the interior this week were Frank and c. F. Townsend. They ar rived here on Sunday after a short seasons prospect on the Kotsina and Kuskalana. They are now resting their horses and may make another trip into the interior,
 If you love your wife, buy her a new stove at Richards.
 Mir. Swan has moved the Hill building nearer to Keystone Ave. and will erect a substantial office building on its old site.
 Jas. Fish X Co. have nearly all of their stock all moved into the new store.
 Mir. Heilscher lost his cattle and could not find them for more than for more than a week. He finally went up onssthe side of the mountain from which point he located them feeding in the meadow below. Even then, it was only after a long hunt that he finally secured them owing to the extreme height of the grass in which they were hidden.

 Subscribe for the PRosPEcToR- !. The Juneau Record Miner has this to say about Miss Collison, who has been offered the principalship of our public school: "The Juneau public schools are certainly the pride of every citizen of Juneau and Miss Collison, the principal, deserves much credit for the execu- tive ability she. has exercised in bringing them out of the chaos in which she found them, to the high standard they have attained. There may be many lady teachers who are Miss Collison's equal as an instructor, but not one in a thousand will excell her n executive ability.
 Valdez at one time possessed a fire department, which was con sidered :necessary'to the welfare of the town. Early last spring it dis appeared and has not been heard from since. It is either lost, strayed or stolen, and we will consider it great favor to be informed of its whereabouts, as we wish to let the department know. as soon as possi- ble that. some of the. ladders, ,sthat were hung up about the town by the said department, are now fall ing.apart from the effect of the heat of the sun, and it might possibly be necessary to put them together again so that they could be used in case of fire.
