She had cotton farm. But the
profits were small and she almost
made up her mind to give up the
SIGHT, move into town and keep a

she visited the tea gardens of Prince
burst, and was shown the secrets OF
tea raising by DR.. Shepard. Then
she went home to have it out with
her farm.
For the first three years she did
not reduce her cotton crops, but used
snly her surplus land for tea. From
the plants in the second year she
gathered and sold a little more than

TREADWELL TOPICS
Commissioner.

The fourth annual ball given by the employees of the Treadwell foundry on Thursday night was one of the grand est affairs ever given in the Treadwell Club. The atterdauce was large and the music was the best that has been heard in this part of Southeastern Alaska for many moons The musicians were not the least bit stiugy with their encores and every body was remarking about the new dance music used. The orchestra was composed of Prof. Otto Miller, violin; Milt Vim, piano; J.. Wagner, clarinet; and R. Turner, drums. The hall was very tastily dec- orated and reflects great credit on the boys, who worked overtime to put everything in apple pie order. The decorations consisted of Chinese lan- terms and the foundry colors, lavender aud white. Over the main entrance were the figures 1999-19O9, which went to show that the foundry had been run ming since the former date. The booth for refreshments was also very nicely draped with the foundry colors. The boys wish to extend their hearty thanks to Steve Ferris for the sand wiches, George Stephens for the mixing of the lemonade and the punch, Fred Henson for the services of several Jap anese to help decorate, and Mir. Latfy for his very valuable assistance where ever he was needed; in fact, every per son was willing to give the boys help ing hand. The Treadwell company is also to be thanked for the loan of the dishes and several other articles. Mrs. R. A. Kinzie kindly donated half a dozen pomegranates which were mixed with the punch and improved the flavor of it very much. The dancers were so heartily enjoying themselves that the orchestra had to be engaged to play an extra hour. At ? a. m. the dance broke up, the launch Mabel, under the guild ance of Capt. Theodore Erickson, took the Juneau visitors home, and one oi most enjoyable dances ever given on Douglas Island came to close. It is to be hoped that Foreman Mark Smith and his jolly bunch will always have as good a time at their dances. In the words of Mayor O'Connor, "They were all Germans"
 The show at the Club Saturday night was we'll attended and, although the drama, "The Burglars" was not put on on account of the illness of one of the cast, it was enjoyed by all who were there. Mir. Laffy sang two songs, "Thy

Sentinel Am P' and "A Thousand Leagues Under the Sea-" and Mrs. Laffy sang, "Win You Love Me in De- cem Der as You Doin May" New nov ing pictures closed the entertainment. Tue drama is to be produced this week and you must all come and have a good laugh.
 The elaborate dresses worn by the ladies at the foundry dance were sur prise to strangers, but went to prove that eveu in the matter of style Doug las Island is not behind the other cities of the Pacific coast.
 Johnny King has his boat drawn up on the beach near the old foundry and wilt leave it there for the winter.
 News has been received from MT. and Mr.. E. A. McHamiltou, who are now on their way east to see specialist about Mir. McHamiltou'a voice. The i doctors seen in Victoria told him that his voice vas gone for good and they could do nothing for him. lt will be remem bered that "Mac" lost his voice about two years ago, but under >kIllrul treatment he Tegaiued 1t, and the doc tor told him that if he lost it again it would be for good. 1t look, as If his words were coming true, as he has lost it and canuot speak even i'll whisper. His many friends here wish him a speedy recovery.

 Sunday one of the largest Slayonian weddings ever held on Douglas Island took place in the Greek church and was attended by about 300 persons. Led by the Treadweli band, the wed ding procession left the Slavonlc Servian Harmony Society hall in Tread well at s d. ID. and proceeded to the church in Douglas, where Father OrloH united in marriage Mir. Nick VaVach and Miss Livi PauloVich. The bride, who lately arrived from the old coun- try, was very daintily attired in white satin, trimmed with forget and ferns. The paku wiud which was blow ing at the time made the walking any thing but pleasant for the bride, aud 1t was with difficulty at times that she was able to proceed at all. The pro- cesSion re formed at the church and re- turned to the hall in preadwell, where a wedding dinner had been prepared for about 600 guests. Although not that many appeared, all that did come had a real good time. The band fur nished plenty of good music till noon and after noon Messrs. WasterlaIn, Miller aud Wagner played for dance The fun was kept up till late hour and every person went away happy. Mir. Vavach has been in America over ten years and is member of the Red Mems lodge in Denver and the F. 0. l.. in Butte. The procession was followed by nun Der of small boys led by big boy with a big hat who should have known, and each one carried tin can aud furnished the rear guard baud. liberal donation from the groom sent them on their way rejoicing. MT. and Mrs. Yayach will be at home to their friends in the house lately occupied by Mr. Dan PopoVich near the MeXlcam mill.
