Douglas Island news., 1909-04-28

While, as we have stated before, the city of Douglas is not broke, the city council has some rather knotty prob lens to solve during the coming year. In the first place the reduction of the saloon license will have a correspond ing effect on the revenues of the city. The public school has taken fully, If not more than one half of the revenues in the years past, and, if the cost of the construction of the school house IS taken into consideration, it has eX- ceeded it's pro rata by many thousand dollars. There is every ambition to preserve the school at it's present stand ard, or better, but the question arises how can it be done with less money. If, as some have suggested, the school be given a still greater portion of the city's revenue, what is to become of the streets which need rebuilding, the i'm provements in fire protection and sev- eral other matters and things that are so pressing? In Douglas the tax levy has never exceeced l per cent, and the law allows as much as per cent, but not more. To increase the tax levy to the limit would probably increase the revenue about S1 200. While the added burden to tax payers would not be great, still there would be a shortage. All of these things the city council will have to decide and it will surely require careful thought to decide justly and to please everybody.

Pretty Good Scheme

It's a pretty good scheme to be cheery, and sing as you follow the road, for a good many pilgrims are weary, and hopelessly carry the load; their hearts from the journey aIe breaking, and a rod seems to them like a mile; and it may be the noise you are making will hearten them up for a while. It's pretty good scheme in your joking to cut out the jest that's uukind, for the barbed kind of fun you are poking, some fellow may carry in mind; and good many hearts have been broken, good many hearts fond and true, by words that were carelessly spoken by alecky fellows like you. It's a pretty good scheme to be doing some choring around while you eau; for the gods with their gifts are pursuing the earnest, industrious man; and those goods, in their own El Dorado, are lay ing up wrath for the one who loafS all the day iu the shadow, while others toll out in the sun.-Walt Mason.

A few years afterwards he moved to Carthage H., where he lived until the fall of 1886, when he moved to Oberlin, Kansas. Eight years ago he came to Douglas.
 His wife and one son survive him. A son, the first born, died after but few years of life. A daughter, wife of A. C.. T. Geiger, of Oberlin, Kansas, died August IS, 1900.
 Adam Hopp was a man of unques- tioned integrity, good citizen, kind husband and father A devout believer in the teachings of orthodox religion, yet unwilling to intrude bis own views upon O. herr. A lover of his country and a firm believer in it's institutions. Quiet in disposition and kind in man. her, his life was shining example to those who knew him well.
 Funeral services were held on Mon day afternoon at ? o'clock at the Evan gelical Lutheran church in this city, conducted by Rev. J. H. Warmanen. The interment was at the Douglas cemetery.

We are pleased to note that the clean up spirit has struck Douglas this spring as it never has before. While as yet it is only working in spots, 1t is very contagious and will no doubt spread to every part of the city. There is lots to do, but if each will do his or her share Douglas will look better than it ever has before. Let the good work 20 on.

The editor of the Skagway Alaskan takes it to heart because Bellingham sky-pilot was bounced for preaching socialism. He intimates that the bouncers were not only ignorant of the fundamentals of socialism but chris tianity as we'll, and says further that socialists are not in unity on many principles" It seems like an awful ad- mission for the defense. If two social ists could be found who would agree as to what socialism really is more people might take some stock in it.
