Douglas Island news., 1908-08-05

Mir. P. D. Mackenzie, a former em- pIoyee of Treadwell, returned Go Doug las on tho Dolphin accompanied by bis bride. They will begin housekeep- ing in a cottage on P etreet recently occupied by Roy Walsh.
 Mir. P. H. Fox and Annie will leave on the Jefferson for months visit to the states. Their itinerary will include Seattle, Portland, Astoria and Tacoma aud they may decide to go back to New York before they return to Doug las.
 "Pay Night" passed off very quietly in Douglas and there was muoh less of the plain drunk or the hilarious drunk or any other kind of O drunk In evil denoe than usual. This in measure refutes the statement that you can't leglslate goodness into a man. l
 Mayor O'Connor has decided to be- gin at once the building of a second story to his store and residence. The upper story will be used for residence purposes and the entire first floor will be made into a store room to accomo- date his rapidly inoreRsing trade.
 Wm. A. Evans, of Derby, Wash, who has spent tba past six months in Doug las, left for bis home on She steamer Dolphin yesterday morning. He Is brother.in-law of MT. Tom Price of this oity. He has contracted with the merchants of Douglas and Juneau for the delivery Of several oar loada of apples this fall.
 At Skagway the court sustained the demurrer to the indictment tn the Torkelson caso, and the defenda was bound over in Che sum of S1,000 to appear before the grand jury at Ju- neau. Mike Sullivan was found guilty of burglary and was then placed on trial for perjury, alleged to have been committed at his first trial.
 E.J. N. Ott has sold to John Chris toe the lot at the corner of Third and E streets upon which are situated three rent cottages. It Is encouraging to see the young men investing lu Doug. las real estate which will yield them a good interest on their investment, and from present indications we see nc reason why anyone should have cold feet.
 L. J.Till and his partner Dorsmus have bought of Mayor O'Connor the "French John" property at the oornol of Third and H streets. These are two of the brightest young men of the Is land who mean to stay here and be- come part of the community. The property they have bought is one oi the most desirable building sites 1T the city, and they intend to improve il next spring by the erection of a good dwelling house.
