Texas to lead the world. and brings with
him to Washington a great crowd of

poor consumptive's friends would raise
enough money to send the patient to San
Antonio. where he could live in cheap

end of which time the city charities would
have to take the patient in hand for all

News From Douglas

A recent edition of the Skagway Alaskan contains the following start ling story from Douglas, which, though mostly lies, is rather exciting:
 "Jack Benson brings an interesting story from Douglas. Jack has just re turned from Juneau and vicinity. He says that young native woman, one of the bandsomest of her people, came to her death recently in a tragic manner. Willie Jackson and she have not been married very long, but their life was very unhappy, their time being spent mostly in quarreIing. Finally Maggie's mother went to their home and induced her daughter to return with her to the parental roof. Her hus- band, when he saw bis wife leaving him, ran for a revolver and opened fusilade upon the two as they were crossing high trestle. The shots went wild, but the young woman, in her fright, fell from the trestle and was so badly injured that she died. Her re mains were buried last Monday. The matter has not gotten into public no- tice, it is said, as the mother was given sum of money, in consideration ot which she made no complaint. The mothers name is Emma Phillips"
Douglas Island news., 1908-12-30

John Kilbuck, teacher of the govern ment school for natives, has plan for the elevation and betterment of the h. dian people of Douglas Island, which appears to have more of common sense in it's outlines than any we have yet seen. He proposes to organize those of the natives who have had some educa- tional advantages and have improved them, into club or society. The bus mess of this organization and its mem- bers will be to work, native with native, for the uplift of the race. The society will be the nucleus from which will eminate efforts for cleaner and better homes, better modes of living, economy and thrift, and education along the line of preparation for the duties and an understanding of the rights of citi- zenship. There is hope along these lines, and if these first denizens of Alaska are to take their place among the enlightened peoples of the world, the effort must come from themselves.

British born Douglas Islanders and their friends to the mum Der of about fifty sat down to banquet served at Eagles hall on Christmas Eve. After partaking of the good things to eat, the party enjoyed a program, which con- sisted of vocal and instrumental music, recitations and speeches. City Clerk Henson presided, and Mayor O'Connor was toastmaster. Short talks were made by Messrs. Kinzie, Henson and Hopp. For many of the young English men this is the first Christmas spent away from home, and not only did the banquet include many dishes to re- mind them of their native land, but the musical selections and speeches were also SO directed. The evening was one of good fellowship and good cheer, and was enjoyed by all.

Natives Christmas Celebration

Christmas Eve large audience com pletely filled the commodious Friends church, which was decorated with greens and tree heavily loaded with ornaments and presents? The audience was composed mainly of what might be rightly termed oldest Americans" ," with sprinkling of few "pale-faces." ." The occasion for this gathering was the rehearsal, ip song and recitation, of the story of the birth of Jesus, and the assem bly, showed their interest in the occasion by donning their best and by being we'll behaved.
 Although the prevalence of measles on the beach prevented practicing and drilling, the program was carried out remarkably we'll. One of the striking features of the evening was the read ing, in English, the account of the nativity as given by Luke, by ayoung Indian man, and translating She same into his mother tongue. It was impress sivs and dignifled. The closing exer- else was not the least interesting part of the program. This consisted in re- lieving the Christmas tree of it's load aud distributing the presents to young and old. No one was neglected. Thus an old-fashioned Christmas cele- bration came to an end.

Douglas Island news., 1908-12-30

Friday the New Year begins and 1t is our sincere hope that it may bring to Douglas Island an improvement of con ditions. The past year has not been remarkable for the good things 1t has brought, although some of the things accom- plished during the last year may be ot great and lasting benefit to the people of this island.
 The people who have cast their lot here have no reason to feel discouraged, neither is there any immediate danger that the mines which are the mainstay of the business interests will play out. In fact, we are informed that some of the properties that have been worked for years without any great returns for the original investment have recently develops ed in manner that is surpris- ing, and what was once the poorest mine on the island may become the best.
 At any rate, the battles that we have fought in the past we hope will not be to fight over again. Some of the bad medicine that we have had to take has done us good, and, perhaps, we are better for it.
 Douglas has not gone ahead very rapidly for the past year; there have not been many new buildings either for business purposes or for homes, but the turn has come in the road, and if those who are interested in the future ofthe town will get together and pull, we shall see great many things before the year 1909 comes to au end.
 The first things that should receive the attention of the citizens of Douglas are those that take large amounts of money from the town and give no re- turn save an indifferent service. Let Douglas get out from under the thumb of those who take as their own right the use of the public highways and streets and then do business on the "public be damned" style.
 To get in position to handle the af- fairs of the town properly, the first step should be to get from Uncle Sam patent for the townsite. This is mat ter that has been long neglected, and we hope to see it accomplished during the year that is to come.
 The old Douglas Chamber of Con- merce was good thing iu it's day, aud should be revived. This organization has good record-a record of accom- plishment. It not only worked good for the town of Douglas, but was re- sponsible for move on the checker board of business affairs that is still working for the good of all Southeast. ern Alaska.
 In years past, Douglas always went by the name of "New Town" The time is ripe to make of the old town a thew town" indeed. Let the dead past bury it's dead, and forgetting our differences, let us all pull together for the happy and prosperous New Year.
