CHRISTMAS DANCE.

One of the pleasant features of the Christmas Holidays was the dance at Natatorium Hall Monday evening.
 The affair was quite largely attended and it seemed to be merry crowd, bent on making the most out of the occasion
 There was a splendid orchestra which played sweet music for the dreamy waltz and lively twostep and kept up the spirit of the affair.
 The dance broke up, as all dances must break up some time, in the wee small hours of the morning and the crowd went home tired but happy in the realization of pleasantly spent evening.
 The Douglas Harmony Band which had the dance in charge are to be com pIimented for the way in which it was carried out under the most adverse circumstances and for having spirit enough not to let Christmas pass with out the time honored Christmas dance. oUIETED BY A PHOTOGRAPHERS.

THE LOST CAUSE.

The Juneau Record Miner in it's at tempt to sustain the lost cause of Judge Brown and predjudice the case of the new Judge, R. A. Gunnison, says: "The successor of Judge Brown will ar rive at his post by the first of January. Judge Gunnison is young man, said to be but twenty-nine years of age. This is probably the first position of responsibility ever occupied by him, and we hope that in his efforts to ad- minister the law, as he finds it, which is the duty of every judge, he may meet with less difficulty than did his predecessor"
 Only twenty-nine is be? The press dispatches credit him with B years, but youth is no disgrace, and if he is too young to have acquired the habit of dishonesty, it is a matter .that will call for rejoicing. His first position of responsibility is it? Perhaps he may be willing to be advised by other young men who held their first posi- tions of responsibility as. appointees of the notorious Judge Brown. God forbid. According to the report of Judge Day, whom the Record Miner despises thoroughly, it was these young men who helped drag Judge Brown down.
 John G. Held, Republican National Committeeman for Alaska, is oae of the candidates to succeed Gov. Brady. Mir. Held has been a resident of Alaska for twenty years, is heavily interested financially in Southeastern Alaska, and has the welfare of the country at heart.

WANT BETTER LAWS
FRUITGROWEPS ASSOCIATION
COMMITTEE HAS OUTLINED
SOME PROPOSED BILLS.
Committees in Three States Appointed
at Recent Meeting Are
at Work.

Committees on legislation were APP
pointed for the states Of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho by the Northwest
FruitgrOWers' association Thursday
The duties of these committees as was
stated at the convention of the asso-
citation the other day will be to pre-
pare drafts of laws needed by the fruit
men, to be presented before their re-
spective legislatures. Drafts of such
laws as were deemed necessary to pro-
tect and build up the industry in the
Northwest will first be submitted, and,
after approval, will be brought before
the legislatures. The laws to be draft
ed by the committees from Oregon,
Washington and Idaho will be as fol-
lows:
First-To prepare a bill tending to-
ward the regulation and sale of arSen-
zeal preparations used III the spraying
of fruits.
Second-A penalty, amount to be de-
termined by the legislatures. to remedy
the present evil of selling nursery
trees that prove not true to their name.
The fraudulent selling of such trees
has grown to such an extent that legis-
lation is needed to remedy the evil.
Third-A draft of laws relative to the
public highways of the Northwest;
their upbuilding, etc. The condition Of
the highways are such that it was
deemed best to call attention of the
legislatures to them, in the hope that
something might be done. The COM
mittee also believes that more roads
are needed, and. Will demand them.
Fourth-To regulate the size and
marketing of fruit packages.
The various sizes of fruit packages
used at present by the growers in the
Northwest have caused much trouble
in the past, and has been one of the
Vexed questions to come before the
convention. The matter has come be-
fore the growers in various forms from
time to time.

of the committee from the state of
