TREADWELL TOPICS.

The annual summer invasion or tour ists has begun, and this seasons in- undation of the country promises to reach the high water mark, as compar- ed to previous years. Points ofinterest i here and elsewhere will be gazed at with expressions which run the gamut from ennni to enthusiasm. But let us hope just on thing-that the owners of the various expressions will return to their native haunts with set of ideas labelled "Revised Version" for the future use of themselves and their neighbors.
 Mir. A. K. Smith, after an absence of three years spent mainly ill South Africa, has returned to Treadwell to fill the place made vacant by the resigna- tion of Foreman King, of the 240 mill. Mir. Smith was accompanied by his daughter.
 Mrs. Alfred Williams returned on the Dolphin from very pleasant visit of ten days to Skagway, where she at one time resided. MT. Williams took short vacation in order to accompany bis wife on her return.
 One of Treadwelrs noted characters has followed the path of glory" to it's sad but inevitable end. Old "Tam," the big yellow bull dog who made his home in the Treadwell store, has been a well known landmark hereabouts for the past nine years, and will be missed to those who were accustomed to look for and greet the ugly old face which, masked such an unexpected mildness and gentleness of nature.
 The concert given last Wednesday evening at the Treadwell Club by the Douglas Island Band drew large crowd. who thoroughly enjoyed every selection rendered during the early part of the evening, as well as the dance that followed, in which many participated. The band has reached a degree of efficiency of which any town, big or little, lucky enough to be their abiding place, may we'll be proud. Their time is unusually good, being well marked and we'll sustained throughout each selection. Their re- sponse to the leader is prompt and ac- curate, and QUO can see without half looking that the leader knows what he is doing. The boys may be sure of a hearty welcome at any time they may favor Treadwell with visit.
 The Spokane and the Leelanaw got somewhat mixed when the former at tempted to land here last Wednesday night on her south, bound trip, but no serious damage resulted.
 The firemen's tournament on the Fourth of July will probably be very interesting and no doubtwil be closely contested. The Treadweu boys have been making some very swift runs of late, and lose no opportunity for
 
 practice.
 Mir. and Mrs. Oscar Erdal expect to move into their new residence at Treadwell this week. They will no doubt enjoy their new home, which has a most slightly location, is both com modious and convenient, and carefully finished throughout.
 A number of ladies from Treadwell and Douglas attended the afternoon party given by Mrs c. E. Hooker at her home in Juneau last Saturday af- ternoon for the "5O0" Club An eX- tremely pleasant afternoon is reported.
 Mir. A. E. Andrews, one of the boys of the Machine Shop, left on the jef' ferson for Seattle, where he will be married to young lady of that city. The happy couple will arrive on the Island the first part of next month and will occupy the Berg cottage on E street, Douglas.
