A Seattle man boasts that he hasn't shaved for 51 years. He also announces that he has chewed and smoked for TO. It's good record of course, and we dislike much to discount it, but, we were once personally acquainted with an old colored nanny who lived to be 113 years of age and never shaved. She had chewed tobacco from her fourth year and had smoked pipe from the time she was six. In addition to the foregoing qualifications, she for five cents, would guarantee to sit back five feet from fence and to spit through knot hole into the eye of any kid who could be induced to yell through the knot hole: "Nigger, nigger, never die-black face and shiny eye!" and then wait developments. If one didn't happen to have the money at the time, she was willing to trust.-Ex.

This part of Alaska has just passed through very disagreeable spell of weather. It's been cold, awful cold. For three days the mercury hung around the zero point, and the wind blew over the hill. When the wind be gins to come over the hill from the North, Douglas Island puts on it's over coat aud mittens and begins to shiver. How cold it was, really, is hard to de- fine. The thermometer does not al- ways tell the story. Individual evil dence bears us out in fhe statement that it was lots colder than it seemed. One man, who lives in cabin on the beach, solemnly ayers that one day he had pot of beans boiling on his stove and without any warning they froze stiff. Another old bachelor was boiling water for soup and to prevent it getting too hot and scorching, set it out in the snow. In few moments it was frozen, and the cold was so intense that it froze so quickly that after it was frozen the ice was still warm. Down at Spores barber shop, a pipe containing hot water froze solid. But the surest indication that it was cold was the fact that Dad Early laid off his straw hat and put on cap. Water pipes all over town are frozen, in spite of the appli- cation of large doses of hot water. Last Thursday evening the big $500" stamp mill was compelled to close down; however, this years run has been longer by 10 days than any year previous. Monday morning the water pipes at the school house were found to be frozen, and the children were allow
 ed vacation until Tuesday morning. But the wind has changed; it no longer comes over the hill, and for the present we may enjoy return of Alaska weath- CT, which, in these parts, means mild breeze from the South, carrying warmth and comfort. The people of Douglas Island are like the darkey philosopher, who was asked: "Uncle William, are you troubled about the hereafter?" i'No sir," says Uncle William, "It's de wharfo' ob de herein what keeps me guessin'l"

Douglas Island news., 1904-01-20

The time of the city council, last Monday evening, was devoted mostly 10 the discussion of matters relative to the protection of the city from fires. It developed that the drains on the wa ter supply during cold weather are such that, in case of fire, the pressure at the fire plugs would be reduced to almost nothing. This was startling revelation to the council, the members of which had rested secure in the belief that at least 75,0OO gallons of water lay in re- serve on the hill, ready in case of an emergency. An investigation revealed the fact that at some places in the city the private water pipes are entirely un- protected from the frost, and the first snap of cold seals them effectually un- less, as is the case in many instances, they are allowed to remain open. This is the source of waste, and it was this feature of the case that alarmed the council, when it became known that the water taken from the mains at such times is greater than the intake, and consequently, it is absolutely impossi- ble for the supply tanks to furnish wa ter as fast as it is taken out of the mains. As has been stated, the pressure at the fire plugs, at such times, would be almost nothing. Should fire break out at such a time, the water would simply freeze in the hose, and the city would be at the mercy of the flames. After getting all the information possi- ble on the subject, the council con- cluded that it was their right and duty to provide some manner of regularity as to the use, or rather waste of water, and committee was appointed to draft city ordinance making it a misde- meanor to waste water. There is no doubt that the business men and prop erty owners will give the council their undivided support in the effort to pro- tect property, and it is high time that it were done.

A FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT

: We have noticed, with no little
interest, the fight now being made
by the manufacturers of straight
Kentucky whisky against the recti-
f1ers and blenders of that article.
With an experience of near twenty,
years in the revenue service, we
think we are somewhat qualified TO
speak with knowledge upon this
question.
If there ever was any reason for
the pure food law, there are equally
as cogent and unanswerable reasons;
iu favor of law which will require
every blender and rectifier of whis-.
ky to label his goods with just ex-
actly what they contain. AT best,
there is no doubt of the injury ac-
cruing TO any one who INDUCES to
excess in even the purest and best
whisky TO be had; and when it
comes to using the vile stuff that is
so ruthlessly and shamelessly Of
fered for consumption as ''flne old
Kentucky whisky" there is no
wonder at the wreck and ruin that
follow.
1t is within our knowledge that.
from dumps of the worst brands of
high wines, filled with fusil oil and
other deleteriants, there is manufac--
mred by these blenders and recti-.
fiers almost any kind of drink that
can be called for in fashionable as.
we'll as in the lower walks of life.
The basis of all these are bad
enough, but when, in addition, the
vile drugs. false bead, etc., are
placed in these compounds, there is
no wonder at the awful conseuuen-
ces following their use. In many
OF the large cities we read of men
and women crazed by the use of
these stimulants; their lives made
a hell OH earth, their families
and penniless; and at last
the suicides grave and the drunks
ards deep damnation; that there is
no wonder the cry goes up to at,
least remedy some of these horrors.
by affording those who must have,
stimulants pure and unadulteratedl
articles.
In our experience as govern
ment officer we have had occasion.
IN the line OF our duty, to inspect
these concoctions, and, time and
again, in the brief space reauiredi
Tor their inspection, have We had!
The skin upon our hands caused to.
