Good Luck With Bad.

A party of Douglas Island folks started early Sunday morning on MT. Harvey's launch, for days outing at Lone Rock Bay, on Admiralty Island. All went merrily until their destina tiou was reached when an accident happened that might have been attend ed with serious results.
 M. J.O'Connor, Mrs. O'Connor, and the Misses Minnie Museth and Mildred Powell were making the trip from the launch to the shore in little canvas covered row boat, that suddenly turn ed turtle and plunged them into the water. Before their friends on the launch could realize what had happen ed, the strong tide was carrying them out to sea. Captain Harvie and Mir. c. A. Lindstrom, who is strong swimmer, plunged in quickly, and after some eff fort, with the assistance of those on the launch, succeeded in getting every body out, not, however, any too soon, for they were nearly exhausted. MT. O'Connor, who was doing his best to assist the ladies, was in nearly as sad a plight as they.
 When all were safe, and successful landing had been made, huge bonfire was built and the day was passed as pleasantly as was consistent with par tially dried clothing. The voyage home was made without accident. The party comprised: MT. and Mrs. M. J. O'Coh- nor, Mrs. E. E. Smith, Miss Annie Mu- seth, Miss Minnie Museth, Miss Mil dred Powell, Miss Annie Mccormick Messrs. R. J. Willis, H. R. Elliott, F. Sterling and c. A. Lindstrom.

Riff-raff.

We received the other day letter from Geo. w. Harvey, formerly busi- ness man of Douglas, inclosing clip ping from "The Evening Record" pub lished at Everett, Wash. From what we can learn the "Record" is paper of bad repute in the town where it is pub lished, and it's utterances are not gen. orally considered to have much weight. Yet we can hardly understand how any man on the Pacific Coast can be so in- formally ignorant of Alaska, or can be such a fool. The item referred to is as follows:
 "Rev. MT. Coyle, who has resigned the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church, will leave for Alaska next week. He will have charge of the finest church in the territory. It is located at Douglas, on,Douglas Island. and his congregation will be composed mostly of the miners from the famous Tread well. There are 500 of them. Work in the mines goes on night and day and every 15 minutes the island quivers from the blasts in the tunnels. A large part of the population of the island, it is said, is riff-raff, and numbers some of the worst on top of ground. Rev. Coyle can take none of his household goods and is preparing to dispose of everything"
