Season of 1908 at Lakewood.

The season at Lakewood will open,
Saturday, June 10th, and the manage
ment plans to make this resort more at
tractive than ever before. Mr.. Rufus
McKenney will have the management of
Lakewood In the interest of the Somer-
set Traction Co. and his many friends
feel assured that be will be successful in
his work. All special parties or picnic
parties will receive courteous attention
from Mr.. McKennsy and they are e.
pecially invited to visit Lakewood.
LAKEWOOD THEATRE.
Perhaps the most important change at
Lakewood will be In the theatre arrange
ments. For several seasons the enter
tainment has been furnished by a stock
company, which, for talent and the ex-
cellent presentation of plays has been
excelled at few similar resorts, but not
withstanding this the management feels
that the patrons of Lakewood would ap-
preciate change in the form of enter
tainment, and that they would be inter
ested in season of vaudeville with a
change of company each week. Over nine
tenths of the pleasure parks operated in
connection with electric roads provide a
vaudeville entertainment, and the sug-
gestion of vaudeville for lakewood
seems to meet with almost universal ap-
proval. Although vaudeville is more
expensive than a stock company, it is
the intention to provide the best, and a
contract has been signed with Mr. Joseph
j. Flynn of Boston to provide the Sum
mer's entertainment. Mr.. Flynn's
agency is perhaps the largest in New
England and last summer he had cir
cult of twenty three parks, situated in
many of the largest cities. Letters from
each of these parks to the Somerset
Traction Co. state that the entertain
ments furnished last year were entirely
satisfactory, and Mr.. Flynn in recent
letter says that he will have the best
line of attractions this summer that he
has ever furnished Several headline
and feature acts will be announced later
There will be a matinee entertain ment
each afternoon excepting Monday, to
which the ladies and children are es-
pecially invited

Recent Fires.

Ga Thursday forenoon Of last week, as
John l.. Murray was burning the grass
and refuse in his garden on North ave-
nue., near Heseton street, the fire spread
beyond his control and menaced the
house owned by Mr.. Murray and occu-
pied by his soI-in-law, Albert McCoombs !;
also the neighboring house, owned and
occupied by Benjamin Flanders. The
fire department was called out but the
people of the neighborhood came so
promptly to the assistance of Mr.. Muir
ray that there was nothing for it to do
after arrival. Mr.. Murray felt a little
chagrined to have been the cause Of so
much commotion, but was undoubtedly
warranted in ringing In the alarm, as
things looked very threatening for a
time.
A blaze on the roof at the residence Of
of DR.. /. l.. Saley on Middle street en-
gagged the attention of the fire depart
ment for few minutes, Just before 6
O'Clock, last Thursday afternoon. AL
though the family were not aware Of It,,
it is probable that chimney had been
burning out, as there was smoke
through the upper part OF the house, and
it is also likely that the fire on the roof
was from the same source. BY the time
that the department arrived, there was
quite lively blaze, but it yielded quick
ly when the water was turned on.

ArbOr Day.

Governor Cobb, Monday, designated
Friday, May Il, as Arbor Day. The
proclamation is couched in the following
language:
"The law Of the State declares that the
governor shall set apart day in spring as
Arbor Day, and shall issue proclamation re-
commencing that it be observed by the peo-
pie of the tate in the planting Of trees,
shrubs and vines, in the adornment Of public
and private grounds, places and ways, and in
such other efforts and undertakings a, shall
be in harmony with the general character Of
a day so established.
al hereby, designate, therefore. Friday the
18th day Of May as Arbor Day and recon
mend that all our citizens, and especially the
teachers and children of the schools. observe
the day in entire accord with the letter and
spirit Of the statute.

Lewiston journal: Into newspaper
offices in Maine, as well as elsewhere,
there flows a stream of penitent drunks
praying that their names be suppressed
in connection with proceedings in the
police court. 1t is our .invariable prac-
tice, except in notorious cases, to sup
press names where it is the first offence
or where there is good ground for hope
that the sinner may forsake his sins and
come to himself. Recently man who
had been before the court came in with
his wife and prayed for lei iency. The
offender agreed that he would report for
reform and stand in with better COM
pany and also keep more in the society
Of his wife. Men who have been going
wrong not infrequently are pulled out OF
the fire and got onto the water wagon.
Two fellows came down to Lewiston the
other day from the forest glades where
they had been at work all winter and
wasted their substance in the riOtOus
possibilities of the capricious Androscog-
gin plan, but prayed for suppression OF
poice publicity and the prayer was
granted. IL is a good thing when enough
self.respect is left to desire concealment.
There is little use giving publicity to
minor offences so long as the temptable
one sees the danger of his way and has
moral consciousness enough to be
ashamed of himself.

present laws are fully adequate, if they are enforced as they have been during the past summer"
 "The first government hatchery to be established in Alaska, out of the s5O,000 appropriation made for that purpose, is the Mcdonald hatchery at Mcdonald lake on Yes Bay. When completed this hatch cry will have a capacity of 50,000,- GOO eggs. While the construction on the hatchery was not commence ed until last July, the work was pushed so rapidly that it is now being operated to a portion of its capacity. The last report which I received stated that there were 7,000,000 eggs taken at the hatch cry, and it was expected to increase this number.
 "While 1 am supposed to be the fishery expert of the Albatross, which has been operating in north ern waters, 1 have been on shore duty for the past two years, during which time 1 have been busy with investigations of all Alaska fisher ies, and have assisted F. NJ. Cham berlain, in charge of the scientific work of the Albatross, in preparing the life history of young salmon.
 "The first work of the Albatross in the Alaska fisheries was in 1897, when it was first discovered that nearly every stream in Southeast. ern Alaska had been barricaded, and already salmon were commence ing to die off in these streams. Can- nery superintendents and fsher- men generally denied any know ledge of the barricades. We com menced to remove the Instructions, and the effect of this work is shown by the fact that during the seasons of 1904 and 1905 there were as many red salmon taken in Alaska as ever before, with less canneries.
 "The weekly closed season law is being rigidly enforced. The can- nerymen realize that it is to their interest to observe the law, and the Indians are so jealous of each other that any violations are reported, so that it may be said that during the past year there has been no fishing during the thirty-six-hour weekly closed period"

Last week the citizens of Juneau met and elected six delegates to the Alaska convention at Seattle, The meeting passed set of resolutions, and instructed the delegates chosen to stand by them. The resolutions were all good, and several of them can be readily endorsed by every person who has the welfare of Alas ka at heart. They are:
 "We are opposed to the holding of any Alaska conventions in Seat tie or elsewhere outside of the dis trict of Alaska, ln the future.n
 We endorse the petition of the citizens of ketchikan and Wrangell asking that the cable be extended to Ketchikan, Wrangell and inter- mediate points"
 "We believe in the regulation of all licenses and taxes by the mu- nicipality in all the incorporated towns in Alaska"
 We believe that self government is essential to American govern ments everywhere, and that Amer jeans are entitled to such govern ment whe9eYeF found, if demanded by them. We therefore recommend a territorial form of government for Southeastern Alaska and a like government or governments for each of the other judicial districts, if the residents thereof so desire"

ANOTHER YEAR CONE.

This issue commences the fourth gear of the life of the ALASKA SEN rINEL. The past year has been a prosperous one, for which we sim cerelv thank our patrons. During the three years just passed, the SEN TIyEL has seen the town of Wran- gell incorporated, live, energetic Chamber of Commerce instituted, fire apparatus provided, good vol unteer fire company organized, two fine new school buildings erected to furnish educational facilities for both whites and natives, and the advent of numerous other benefits and improvements to the town and vicinity.
 We will now venture the predic- ,ion that before another year rolls around a cable will be laid, con- meeting Us with the outside world; the district will be granted direct representation in the halls Of con eress; the Dry Straits north of town will be dredged out sufficient ly to allow steamers of any draft to pass through safely on all stages of the tide; a system of waterworks will be put in; one ol two new manufacturing enterprises will be established at or near the town; several rich mines in this vicinity will be opened up and developed, and the population of the town will be increased by from one hundred to five hundred souls.
 f'he realization of this prediction oi course, remains to be seen, and depends, in a very great measure, upon the efforts oi every citizen. It will never prove true if no public spirit is exhibited by those who al- ready have their money invested hefe, On the contrary, we will witness the retrogression of the town, and have no reasonable ex- c1se to offer for it.
 Wrangell has the distinction of being the only REAL townsite in Southeastern Alaska, and possesses many other natural advantages. It has fine harbor. whose waters are full of food fishes of various kinds; precious metals are found in paying quantities within ; Veyy phort dis tance from town, awaiting only the golden pick and shovel of the cap italist: our timber is the best in the world for the production of paper, and several capitalists have been looking upon it with covetous eyes during the past season. There are numerous other things furnished by the lavish hand of nature that lie latent, only requiring little more push, and life, and energy on the part of our people to turn them into money.
 Let us bear these facts in mind, and whenever opportunity presents 10 say good of our town, let it ever be good Let us demonstrate to the world that we are all interested in the welfare of the town, and do nothing by word or deed that will be for its detriment.
 With these few words, and again thanking advertisers and readers for their kind and generous patron age in the past, and soliciting an increased continuance of the same, we enter upon our fourth volume
