Doings of the City Dads

The Monday evening meeting of the city council was devoted mainly to the reports of the committee on streets and public property and the committee on fire and water supply.
 The committee on streets and public property reported that the Christoe building and lease on the wharf site at the foot of c street had been acquired by the city, also that the McKanna stables on c street had been bought by the city and would be removed forth with. This committee also wishes to make known the fact that it is in the market for 15O piles for the new city wharf
 The committee op dre and water sup ply reported that surveyor had been engaged to make survey of the pro- posen site for the new water reservoir and would make report in few days. The location of this reservoir is near the source of the creek that runs through town and it is planned to erect a large dam to contain the water that is so plentiful at some seasons of the year and so scarce at oAaers. Some time ago a letter was sent to MT. 0. Vey Holman, who owns the property,

Good Company for 1909

You are careful what choice of friends the young people of your household make. You do not open wide the door to those whose speech and behavior be- tray i'll. breeding aud lax morals Are you as careful to shut it against books and periodicals that present vulgar and demoraliziug pictures of life and It's purpose? Perhaps you are among those who have found that The Youths Com panion occupies the same place in the family reading that the high-mtnded young man or woman holds among your associates. The Companion is good without being "goody goody." It is entertaining, it is informing.

School Notes

The High school enjoyed .kind of half holiday on Friday, May 18th. Some had gone to see or help Douglas win over Whitehorse in the baseball en. counter, some attended the class exer. cises of the Juneau High school, so Miss Pickel sent the rest away with Miss Clark to gather flowers on the island for Decoration Day.
 The primary grades sang "God Speed the Right" on Memorial Day and did their part we'll. The Girls Chorus lacked confidence because so mauy of their mum Der were away at Whitehorse or off picnicking.
 Iu these latter days of the school year the High school classes are gradu- ally abandoning subjects of study, ready to take up something new an- other year.
 Graduating exercises of the eighth grade will be held at the Natatorium hall, Friday, June 1lth, at 8:3O p. ID. The High school girls will assist ill the musical part of the program. The en- tire program will appear in next weeks News.
 Lynn Burnett aud Walter Jackson have come back to school.

Memorial Day exercises were held at Natatorium hall last Sunday after. noon. There was a large attendance which included both white people and natives. Although it may seem pe- euliar to some, the natives take readily to the custom, both because of their faculty for initiating and because re- spect and honor for the departed is a part of their own peculiar religious be- lief. After the exercises at the hall a procession was formed and the line of march was taken up to the cemetery where not only the graves of soldiers were decorated, but many others. Each year more of the people of Douglas Island take an active interest in this day, and this year many graves re- ceived attention that have been sadly neglected.

It is reported that Harlan Updegraf, head of the government schools in Alaska, objects because the lady school teachers jump the job and get married and the government is put to the trouble of securing others. It appears to us that it is mighty little the gov ernment does for Alaska, and if the practice of shipping in school teachers of a marriagable age is discontinued it will indicate a mean and stingy policy.

Last Friday morning when the steamer Georgia reached Douglas Isl and, the ball team with score or more of supporters mbarked for the Vic toria Day celebration at Whitehorse. They went with the determination to bring back the championship purse or know that they were outclassed by the Canadians. At the Rapids City they
 were greeted with cordiality. Great preparations had been made for their iertainment, even to the extent of carefully sprinkling the streets the evening before This latter precaution was unnecessary, as the day was pune tuated by the heaviest showers that have visited the upper Yukon country for years. When the time for the ball game arrived and the Douglas boys lined up on the field they looked like pigmies compared with the long.legged Canadians. To add to the discomhture the dust of the day before was trans formed into three or four inches of mud. However, little dampness did not have corresponding effect on the spirits of the Douglasites and they played ball so earnestly that when the rain again started to pour at the end of the fourth inning 13 of them had gal loped across the pan, while only of the Canadians had done as much. After that it just rained and the boys came home, bringing all the honors and as much of the big sack as was con- sistent with conditions. At Skagway they tackled Si Tanners semi-profes- sional bunch, but the ceaseless wind was not so much like home as the rain, and ID a seven inning game they lost by score of 4 to ?. Douglas Island has reason to be proud of it's ball team, made up as it is of boys who play ball for pleasure and not as profession.
