Poor Joe Jackson After clim ping the mountains and wading muskegs for two or three days in order to capture venison to turn into a little money, his cash went for Jamaica ginger and he is given fine ot 80 or l5 days in jail to ponder over the query whether or not Jamaica ginger is an intoxicant If Indians must be given liquor, for mercy's sake let it be whiskey instead of that vile stuff, that should be used only for starting fires, or kindred purposes.
 To be routed out in the middle of the night to work like beavers to keep a boat frem keeling over and filling with water and getting cold bath, is an un- pleasant experience, But this is what Messrs.

 Some time ago an order was made by the town council to have scuttle holes made in all ceilings as protection in case of fire. Has this been done?

Early Tuesday morning, just after the Humboldt arrived, there was a rap at the door of Deputy Marshal Grant that awakened Mrs, Grant, who shouted "Get away from there, you drunken brutel' The marshal arose to go to the door, bis wife admonishing him to be careful else he would get his head knocked off. It was not so bad, how ever, for on opering the door, there stood Mir. Thomas James, brother of Mrs. Grant, who had just arrived from Goldield, Nevada, and is here for an indefinite visit. By way of explanation 1t Is useless to state that the marshaps family is awakened almost nightly by characters with all kinds of grievances. The Inland Printer, commenting edi. torially upon the increased cost of print paper, recently said that it was due to c lack of spruce timber, from which the more common varieties of paper are made. It also said that if sufficient body of spruce is not soon found, tie price of paper will soar still higher If some of the manufacturers would just take little spin among the islands of Southeastern Alaska, they would see more spruce than all the factories of the world could convert into paper in ten thousand years.
 Ed Lyons went down to Anita Bay last Saturday to get tank for the shin- gle mill, and to tow raft of cedar logs from Twelve-Mile Point. Marshal ". D. Grant also went along to do some angling. M. F. Inman and F. H. Gray went in tow to Pats Creek, where they stopped for little fishing.
 That party of Canadian police, and MT. Cross of Boston, tired of waiting for the Hazelton, started for the river in a canoe, but had not reached Point High field when along came the steamer. The party returned to town, and next day took passage for the Cassiar in the steamer.
 The steamer Prospector was oyer from shakan. during the week. We were in formed that the canneries at shakan and Klawack are not getting their packs of salmon so rapidly as would be desira- ble, the red fish being very scarce. During the absence of the steamer Clatawa at Kuiu Island, last week, Geo. Locker made the daily trip to the mouth of the river after fish, while Henry Dam ningberg presided over the block at the Coulter market.
 J. A. Mason left on the Cottage City for New York and Pennsylvania, and said to reporter that he is making the trip for the purpose of raising funds to establish cold storage and saltery in She Narrows.

 Bear in large numbers have been seen close to town the past few weeks. And especially has this been the case in the neighborhood of the cannery, where the animals were presumably attracted by the smell of the offal.
 A party consisting of Mir. and Mrs. L. R. Milligan, Mrs. Uhler and daughter, Mrs. Campbell and son, Ernest, went oser to the flats in Geo. Lockers launch the fore part of the week, in quest oi "nagoon" berries.

 The moose are working down the river further this season than for several ses. sons past, and last week the crew of the H .zelton killed q big one while coming down from Telegraph Creek.

 McCormack's raspberries seem to be gaining quite a reputation. He has been shipping them both ways-south to Ketchikan and north to Juneau. The Wrangell Shingle Go. is having 10000 feet of red cedar cut from the forest reserve, to be made into shingles for shipment to the Yukon country.

The edge Of the George Washington
University baseball Ratchet was once
more dented and dulled az Van Ness
Park yesterday by the team from the
University OF Pennsylvania. who. in
one-sided and uninteresting contest OF
seven innings administered a crushing
defeat of 10 TO 3.
For the Philadelphia team the game
was no game at ALL Almost at will
they knocked the ball into safe territory
for ore or more bases. and in case the
BAN failed TO roll safe 1t made little diff
ference. The local men seemed unable
to field even the easiest of chances, and
1t the close Of the game had ten mis-
plays charged up against them. The
wearers OF the Bun and Blue were also
hopelesslv incompetent at the bat, and
made lsut three hits.
Senior Stars for George Washington.
The one bright spot in the otherwise
darkened George Washington sky was
the playing of Senior in center field.
The former high school star felded his
three difficult chances in perfect style.
For the visitors. Brady, who was on
the rubber vas such an insolvable puz-
zle that has team mates had an easy
time in the field. Yesterday was the
first game that the Red and Black twirl-
er has pitched for two years. but his
work seemed to have suffered none for
that. Thirteen OF the batsmen who
faced him whitfield ditfidently and vainly

10 get hits or 10 profit by an error, We're

balls.
The local team scored its first run in
the nth inning when Senior was struck
by Brady, stole second. and tailed on
Garrison's error of OrTison's groundcr.
The last two runs scored by the home
team were made in the sixth inning by

pan as a result OF a hit, en- error. and
