Douglas Celebrates

Last Sa; urday evening about 800 res ideuts of Douglas and friends from Treadwell gathered at Natatorium hall to celebrate the completion of the new city wharf in Douglas. While the wharf was built by the city, under the direction of the mayor and council, the celebration was given by the business men of the town, who also contributed the money for the expenses. A thou. sand dodgers scattered around the Island announced the event and hinted that among the attractions there would be music by the band and beer by the barrel and also few sandwiches. The effect was electrical and at an early hour the big hall was crowded with rep reseutative citizens from all parts of the Island. When Mayor O'Connor ar rived he was pushing a grocery cart loaded with sandwiches. These sand wiches, by the way, were made by the ladies, who, although sadly disappoiut- ed because they were not to take part in the celebration, still were enthusi. astic enough to work for the cause.
 The project of building city wharf has met with the most decided popular approval of anything that has been done in Douglas since the town was iu- corporated. There are many reasons for this feeling, but perhaps the strong est is found in the fact that part of the equipment of the new wharf is to be a large engine and pump to pump the water from the bay through iron pipes for fire protection. This pump ing plant has arrived and is now being installed.
 No set program had been prepared for tbe occasion, so it was that what ever was said and done was simply an expression of the happiness of the cele- orators. It was a most joyous occasion even those from Treadwell seemed to partake of the enthusiasm and laughed and shouted.
 Speeches were made by Mayor OCon- nor, City Clerk Henson, Prof. Clark Miller, Dr. II. c. DeVighne, Elmer B.. Smith, w. c. Boyd and others. They all expressed the same sentiment, ap- proval of the project and gratitude be- cause the dark days for Douglas are past, and harmony and prosperity pre-. vail. The appearance of Mayor O'Con- nor on the platform was the signal for hearty cheering from those who have watched his jealous work in behalf of the new wharf. Music was furnished by the Treadwell Club band, a feature that was most heartily enjoyed.
 It is not often that the people of a town join with such complete unity in

Cold Feet

Of all the people who come to Alaska in search of fame and fortune or hav- ing some special mission, the preachers seem to be the most unreliable as Go the extent of their stay. Men in all other walks of life will come to the North with their families, settle down and become a factor in the upbuilding of the country. Not 90 with Mir. Preacher The chill of the northern breezes enters into his soul and quenches his burning desire to spread the gospel, and he begins to long for the flesh pots back in the States. Then he slams his belongings into his trunk and away he goes on the first boat that comes along. This is the rule; there may be a few exceptions. Since the building of the Congregational church in Douglas, less than eleven years ago, ten pastors have graced its pulpit, and the present incumbent came only week ago.

In announcing the election of Lewis P. Shackleford as chairman of the re- publican territorial central committee, the Juneau Record gives it's approval for the reasons, as stated, that Mir. ShackleSord is a good political leader, has wide acquaintance, stands high at Washington aud holds the same views in regard to home rule as does the president. The contentious have more of sound than sense. When Mir. Shackleford has once led his party to victory, he may claim to be leader. As for influence at Washington and the opinions of the president, neither the republican party nor the people of Alaska should SO far forget their Amer
 icanism as to be mere trucklers to the power that rules. We sincerely hope and believe that Mir. Shackleford has other claims for distinction than these.

has been exceedingly busy in a quiet

of the activity there, when It is
known that yesterday the mills turn

ed instead Of diminished. This has
a good and genuine sound as a busi-
