VACATION NOTES
Douglas and juneau.


We spent a day and a half right
in and around Juneau, stopping first
at the famous Treadwell mine on
Douglas Island. This is one OF the
notable mines of the world. 1t is low
grade proposition and the mills
handle profitably ore as low in value
as 1920 per ton. We are told that this
mine has been operated for twenty
five years and has turned out total
of $35,000,000.
The town of Douglas joins the town
of Treadwell. The two towns have
a joint population of 5000. They are
very modern little cities and enjoy
alfsthe modern convenences we have
at home.
The mine and mill are finely
equipped and the men are said to be
better treated than the employees of
any mining camp in the world.

case at the city hall where very little

but that fact was prompted by the ex-
treme heat, and, conventionality, was.
very wisely, sacrificed upon the altar

Roll call revealed the absence of
Aldermen w. T. Wallace, e. F. Jewett

capped legislation and prevented the
disposition of several matters of pub
lie concern, notably the assessment
ordinance in grading and sidewalk
district number five, which was pre-
sented for consideration by A. H. Nc
Lain, special attorney for that work.
In view of the necessity Of getting
action on the proposed ordinance at
the earliest practicable moment an
adjourned meeting of the council will
be held at O'Clock this evening to
consider its provisions.

Charles r. McLain appeared before
the council in behalf Of an appropria-
tion of two hundred dollars for the
Fremont County Fair Association. and
in connection with his trusteeship for
the fifteen hundred dollars subscribed
by the people OF Canon City as . bo-
nus to secure the establishment here
OF the plant OF the Tri-Bullion Smelt-
ing Company OF New York. AS mem
ber OF the finance committee Of the
fair association Mr.. McLain urged the
council to set apart the sum Of two
hundred dollars in aid OF the forth

cultural resources OF the county. AL
derman Cooper moved that the city
clerk be authorized and instructed to
draw a warrant for the sum OF two

Juneau is Just across a little bay
from Douglas Island. I should say 1t
the other way but we went to Doug
las first-and met the mayor.
Juneau is the capital of Alaska. 1t
has a most charming 1ocation-at the
the foot of the finest. greenest noun
tain l have ever seen. The mountain
stands straight up, 1000 or 800 feet
and is richly covered with green vege-
tation 1t is partly covered with snow
and down it's precipitous sides run
little brooks-or mountain falls-for
they drop almost straight down
the caves of a house.
y " y
juneau looks whole lot better
than you would expect to find a town
of 1000 or 5000 in this remote sec
ton of the world. The public build
ings and stores are all good and the
Elk's club building is one of the best
in town of this size any where.
The men one meets are fine fellows
and strictly up-to-date. They all speak
well of Alaska and none of them talk
of going back. They like to live in
Alaska.

On the streets of Juneau 1 ran
across Mr.. j. d. Biggs of Canon City.
He and Mrs. Biggs were making a
similar trip to the City of Seattle
which landed shortly before we ar
rived. In Juneau / also met a Mr..
H. e. Biggs who formerly lived in
Pueblo and was acquainted in Canon
City.
Its remarkable how easy 1t is to
see people we know out in the strang-
est places in the world. / never go
anywhere, 1t seems, without running
across acquaintances. In Seattle was
in street car wreck and after 1t was
over found one OF the men, slightly
hurt, was Dave Blythe OF Canon City.
Again when fastening to my boat
ran into Ed. Franck of Canon. And
as for meeting people who know peo-
pie in Canon-they are too numerous
to mention. Whenever I meet . news

AS SUBSTITUTE FOR KITTENS
30 -eaved Cat Adopted and Tenderly
Cared for a Family Of
Squirrels.

Last spring a cat on the farm OF
Albert Fisher, near Waterville, N. Y,
had several small kittens. AS the farm
was overstocked with cats her young
were taken from her and drowned.
After that the cat seemed very unhap-
py, and being house favorite she re-
ceived considerable sympathy.
One day shortly after her kittens
were taken from her young squirrel
which had fallen from it's nest in the
hollow of tree was found and taken
to the cat with the idea that it would
be dainty morsel to tempt her APP
petite.
Instead of bouncing upon it cat fash
ion she took the young squirrel to the
box where she had so recently moth.
cred her own young and there be-
slowed upon the squirrel all the affec-
ton she had previously given to her
kittens.
Stranger still, says a writer in
Country Life in America, in about two
hours the old cat had hunted out the
squirrels nest in the tree some dis
lance away and carried the remainder
of the young squirrels in her mouth
one at time, to her box in the house
Then until the squirrels were nearly
full grown the cat watched over them
with all the solicitude that is possible
for any animal mother to show, even
| providing nourishment for them in ex-
actly the same manner that she had
| for her own young. When the SPUR
| rels had outgrown mothers atten-
ton they were very tame and were
| given to friends Of the family.

blame him, for certainly 1t was most
unpleasant: but so also was the in
tense darkness into which we were
plunged by the unexpected removal
of the light, and with one accord we
made for the steps leading back to the

1t was then that Elizabeth lost her
nerve and gave a stifled scream. This
is liable to happen at exciting mo-

or a spider, for instance; but that
night, when we were talking it over in

she sat down.
