in March and lectured to good
audience and most of those who heard
him are determined to follow his ad-
vice. A few days after this the
ladies of the W. c. 7. U. met aud
decided to invite Mrs Unruh. the
W O T.U lecturer. to come on April

spoke TO the ladies at and the
children at 4 O'Clock in the after.

time, money, position, and even life,
for something which has failed before
their very eyes. Yet the movement
has always spread from certain cen.
ters, just as fire spreads on the
prairies. Oklahoma next Kansas
Georgia next Tennessee; Alabama
ext Georgia; Mississippi nsxt Ala
bama, and so on.
And the same is holding true in
Oregon and the spread is from the dry
counties to those that are nearest.
Have you ever thought of all wor
of education which has been carried
on for years, aud how the W. c. T.U.
has lsbored early aud late to have the
children in our schools given correct
knowledge about the evil effects of
the drink habitH If you have children
in our public schools ask them what
effect alcohol. has upon the human
system and perhaps your education
may be made little more complete,
The seed has been sown for years and
now the fruit is beginning to ripen
rapidly. Let US see to it that Jsoe.
phine county does not suffer from a
frost. "
One of the significant things about
the local campaign is the number of
drinking men who do not hesitate to
say that they will vote dry" Surely
II anyone can be considered juoge, it
Is the man who has had experience.
anu many man has found the exper-
ience ouly lasting blight on himself
and his family. If you have a good
memory 1t will not take you long to
count up on the fingers of your two
hands that number of families who
have suffered untold misery and sor.
row from the work of the Grants Pass
saloons.
If ever there was time that every
voter in Josephine county kshould do
his whole duty, that time is the first
OF next June, aud the responsibility
rests on the individual. 1t is easy to
say THIS one or that one ought to vote
ior local optiou, but why not you.
Let the thought of the following yeres
go with you during the coming week

Why don't they keep the streets little

undue,
Why don't they keep the parks little
greener?
Odd you ever stop to think that

how long will they permit this graft

Why don't they see that courts are

Why will they wink at crooked public
dealings?

Samuel C. Lucas.

Died, at Juneau, Alaska, Friday, Sep tember IS, 1908, Samuel G. Lucas, aged 46 years.
 Samuel G. Lucas was born in the state of Kansas, and came to Alaska about 12 years ago, locating at Haines where he made his home until the time of his death. For the past ten years he has been associated with MT. Henry Erie, of this city, in business enter prises at Porcupine, Haines and Doug. las. He was member of the Arctic Brotherhood at Haines, and was we'll known throughout Southeastern Alas ka as one of the foremost business men of the district.
 He leaves a wife, to whom he was united about four years ago and who was with him at the time of his death, aud three children by a former mar riage to mourn his loss. His father and mother Mir. and Mrs. David Lucas, are living at Pasadena, California
 Mir. Lucas was seriously ill some three years ago with inflammation of the bowels, and it was then thought that he would never recover. Since that time he has been a continual suf- ferer and finally last week he decided to undergo an operation for appendi- citis. The operation was performed by pr. Simpson and it was at first thought that it would be entirely successful, as the patient appeared to rally in good shape. However, a change came for the worse, and his heart refused to re- spond to the strong stimulants, and he passed away after brief struggle.
 Funeral services were held at Che Presbyterian church at Juneau on Monday, Rev. l.. F. Jones officiating. The interment was at the Evergreen cemetery.
