The Schaumann Case.

Last Monday the case Of Grants
Pass against Fritz Schsumann on a
charge OF peddling without license
was tried before Judge Slower OF the
police court. The case was contested
by Mr.. Schaumann on the ground that
he was selling goods by sample.
shipped in from other states and was
engaged in business that was inter.
state commerce. The question has
been before the highest courts in the
land several times in the United
States supreme court, which have
always held no state or city has the
right to impose any tax on any such
business that discriminates In favor Of
any class Of people or goods. The or
dinauce Of this city provides that no
license shall be exacted from any per.
son selling farm products or goods OF
their own manufacture. After hear
ing the argument Judge Slower de-
cided against the defendant, but before
sentenceswas imposed Mr.. Schaumann
filed suit in equity in the circuit
court and obtained an injunction
against the city authorities from
proceeding with the case against him
or enforcing the ordinance on the
ground that it is void. The case will
be fought out as purely legal question
and no other. The. statement that Mr..
Schaumann was avoiding the court is
entirely erroneous, as at all times he
has had cash bail deposited with
the court.

David Hoaken Davidson

Died, at Douglas, Alaska, on Thurs day. May l4tb, 1908, David Hoaken Davidson. beloved son of Martha aud Henry Museth, aged 14years, l month and 4 days.

 At each stage of life's battle there are those who drop out of the ranks and at times it seems that those who close in and fill up the gaps they leave scarcely notice when their comrades fall. There is, however, a time when youth and health and bright promise seem to have a right to shout defiance at the reaper. But the great mystery is not solved, and even the shield of youth will not always turn aside the deadly shaft.
 "Hoaken" as he was called by his boy friends, has left sad gdp in the ranks, and more than one of the older "boys" were touched in tender spot when they heard his comrades pass ing the word from one to the other, "Hoaken Davidson is dead"

The School Entertairment

One of the largest crowds ever gath cred under the roof of the Douglas Natatorium assembl there last Sat urday night to witness the doings of the children of the Douglas Public School. We have yet to hear of one who did hot enjoy it.
 We will not attempt to describe the different productions of the young folks either in general or in particular, but we must say that there was abun- dant evidence of great patience on the part of the teachers, aptness on the part of the pupils, and untiring indus try all around.
 One thing, however, that struck us most forcibly was the great improve ment that has been made by the child ren in singing during the last year, which. no doubt, is due to the special attention given to that subject during the present term.
 In great measure, the people of auy community are responsible for their schools, for what they are or for what they are not. The theory, en- tertained by some, that the schools will run themselves is faulty in the extreme. The attendance last Satur- day night was an indication that Douglas people are not indifferent when it comes to the public school.
