When the steamer Northwestern reached Juneau last week it brought five survivors of the schooner Nugget, picked up near Lituya bay. They were Chas. Byron, Daniel Wagner, John Finley, 0. Lukan and wife. These five with Louis Jordan went to Lituya last summer in search of gold. When their provisions were exhausted they started out in the Nugget, a five-ton schooner, but were overtskeu by a storm and were drifting helplessly when sighted by the Northwestern. The sea was rough, and in attempting to climb aboard the steamer by rope ladder Louis Jordan was knocked into the water and was drowned. The other members of the party were brought to Juneau safely, as stated. Jordan was a brother of Mrs. Lukan.

The water situation in Douglas is "status~ quo" as the lawyers say. The frost still defes the feeble efforts of the sun. MT. Murray has installed 12-horse power boiler at the corner of third and D streets, with which he is forcing a steady pressure of steam into the main pipe. This is kept up night and day. If it was not for the water troubles, this weather would be con- sidered simply beautiful.

The Douglas Island Baseball associ- ation is now real, live, throbbing, pull sating entity. Nothing but an act of providence can prevent Douglas Island from enjoying plethora of the national game next summer. Over S100 is now in the treasury, and more than $500 more is assured by subscriptions. There will be two teams. Two full sets of uniforms and baseball paraphernalia have been ordered. All this has been accomplished while the mercury was hugging the zero point and the base ball enthusiasts were hugging the stoves. What this spirit will develop into when the Taku quits blowing is more than we can surmise.

have pure bred herds. Goats milk IS
considered very fine for invalids and
there are many saEatoriums In the Alps
where this diet is the principal treatment.
In Pau, in the French Pyrenees. and in
other European places the herd Of goats
is driven from door to door ard milked
before the eyes Of the customer, so there
can be no question OF adulteration. Goats
make fine foster mothers. and Il is not
an uncommon sight in foreign lands to
see a baby and kid side by side nursing
the same goat

Each animal yields only TWO or three
ounces of this in a year. and 10 secure

Some OF il is picked from bushes against
which the goats rub themselves. so tnat
it Is small wonder these shawls are so
costly. Since time immemorial the goat
has been an important factor in the life
OF man. In ancient days the Jews always
used II as a sacrifice TO Jehovah. Il
figured prominently in mythology. and
the Egyptians worshiped II as a god.
The goat OF ancient Mendes was a deity.
and if buck died the whole Medesian

can live and thrive in a place where
cows could not be kept at all They are
much healthier than cows, are almost

is richer than cows milk. The feed Of
a goat costs almost nothing. and for this
reason it is called the poor mans COW.

Bordered Window Curtain.

The border fad has extended even to
housefurnishings, and now the smart
notion is TO have broad strips OF silk or
tapestry edging the madras or fishnet
window draperies. Often old portieres or
couch covers Of impossibly passe pattern
may be utilized in this way the tapestry
designs being quite smart in border effect
while they would prove-according to the
mandates Of the art nOUveau-hideous as
solid hangings. The border fad Is car
ried even as far as decided stripes. Some
