DOUGLAS, Alaska. Nov. AL
though a town of 2300 population,
Douglas has no resident lawyer and is
perhaps the only incorporated city in
the United States that has no direct
tax. The councilmen draw up their
own ordinances after a copy of those
in force in Seattle. The saloon licenses
are $500 year and it is from this and
from the revenue of the municipal
court that Douglas defrays it's running
expenses.
The town is orderly and peaceable
and has a pay roll of 1900 men, who are
employed at the Treadwell mines.
There are no bonds on the town nor are
there are on the school district. Doug
las owns it's own court house and its
| fire apparatus. 1t is now. working or
a municipal natatorium, which will soor
| be completed.
Every One Works for City
Every one in Douglas works for the
interest Of the town. When a new
made the people an offer for the land
to be used and the people accepted.
There was no lawsuit or condemnation
proceedings, but a simple business
transaction, as though private parties
were buying and selling piece of
property.
jack Mcdonald, the fire marshal
and the chief of police, is the chief
factotum in the town. He was for
merly of Seattle, and was the second
chief of the Seattle fire department.
Marshal a Power
If you want to know anything in
Douglas you invariably get the same
answer, ASK the marshal" If there
is hole in the baseball park Marshal
Jack" Mcdonald gets in and repairs
it by sluicing part of a high knoll into
the aperture. After about 800 yards Of
dirt have been moved in two days and
the council asks the marshal what his
bill is for the work and it gets state
ment from the water company of the
water used out of the hydrant at so
cents day, 81.
Everything works in harmony in the
island city and every one is pleased to
work for the good of the town.
Douglas has doubled it's population
in the last four years and among other
things has improved her st:'le of archi-
lecture from the modest cabin of the
first settler to the residence of Sam
Gius, which has just been completed at
a cost of $4,000.

PASADENA, Nov. I'm running to
a fire late this evening the Villa street
steamer ran into the excavation at the
corner of Fair Oaks avenue and Villa
street, causing considerable damage to
the engine and giving the driver a
narrow escape. The driver jumped in
time to save himself from serious in
jury, but the engine did not get off
so easily.
Several of the pipes about the steam

as the result of the accident and the
machine will probably be out of COM

serious matter to the city, as there
are but two steamers in town, the
Edison company having tied up the
fire bonds by litigation.

The soldier and the sailor are es-
peclally subject to catarrh. In the bar
racks and on the field, Peruna is found
equally eff1cacious to overcome this
physical enemy. If taken in time it
will prevent colds from developing into
catarrh. Even after cold has settled
in some organ of the body, Peruna can
be relied upon as an effica cious remedy
to promptly overcome it.
Peruna will relieve catarrh, whether
acute or chronic, but few doses of it
taken in the first stages of the disease
will be more effective than when the
disease has become esta blished.
