A New Thing Under the Sun

After years of experimenting, the public is presented with an ideal, modern S-day strike and alarm clock. It requires winding but once week. The movement is so constructed that it requires no attention each night like other alarm clocks. Automatically 1t alarms each morning when required 80 minutes, or until stopped by pushing switch.
 It is indispensable to those whose duties require punctual attendance, and leaves no excuse for Over-sleeping.
 These movements are furnished in a variety of elegant cases and carried in stock by Kemmis, the Front Street Jeweler, who will be pleased to show them and explain their further merits.
 The Thlinget, published at Sitka, got out an extra announcing the election of Taft by 8 large majority; that is in Sitka, the exact figures being 30. The sheet also announces that the Sitka democratic club will go on an extended prospecting trip, and that Howkan is safe for Bryan.
 The Douglas Hotel Cafe will be open to the public today or tomorrow, under the manafement of Frank R. Short. The dining room has been fitted up in a very neat manner, with everything new, clean and tasty. Mir. Short has had considerable experience in the bus. mess and promises that his patrons shall lack for nothing that careful serv- ice can supply. The establishment will i'll a long felt want in Douglas, and this is shown by the fact that already the patronage offered is 30 great that Mir. Short is wondering If he will be able to accommodate the crowd.

 The Ladies' League bsZar at the Con- gregational church last week was well patronized and about S20O was netted for the church improvement fund. The ladies are keeping mp their organization and taking care of the church property, although as yet no preacher has been found who is willing to take chances on Douglas.
 The weather during the past week has been about all that one could ex- pect for this time of the year. A little frost, little rain and little sunshine but no wind. Heavy fOgs on the water have bothered the boats some, but no accidents are reported. If, as report has it, the Alaska s. 8. Go. and the Pa, cific Coast s. s. Go. will only operate one boat each during the winter it will lessen the danger of collisions at such times as this.
 It's coming the time of the year te begin to think about Christmas and Christmas presents.

A Plea for Better Sidewalks.

sept. -, 1910.
Mr.. EdItor:-Isn't 1t q real good Time for The
authorities to put our Side walks In better
condition before winter tlme oatones usG
The side walks are IN HQ'se condition than
for man years. Washcs end. bitches run
across them and down them and make the
walks absolutely dangerous In many places
for pedestrians.
Lam not unmindful OF the good work that
the city authorities have been doing In
beautiiy ing the grounds In the square. but In
contributing To art and beauty they must
4 eep in mind necessary repairs.
An abuse that shou d be stopped is allow
Ing wagons 10 be driven along the sidewalks
TO unload sand. dirt, manure, leaves, etc.
Are our sidewalks to be made wagon and COW
lots?
Only recently the writer noticed where a
heavy wagon had cut up a sidewalk in the
heart OF town and broke the terracotta. An.
other instance a beautiful new terrace war
cut Into and almost ruined by a careless
sidewalk driver. Again, several psiings of a
nice white painted fence were torn of by q
sand hauler OF the sidewalk 10 throw sand
In an adjoining yard, not in the yard OF the
injured fence.
Wake up. city fathers. Progress.
