Three Gone

Since our last issue two more of the series of ball games between Douglas and Juneau have been played, both on the Juneau grounds, and both:were Ju- neau victories, making it three straight.
 Three times have our boys gone out to try for victory; gazed at the cherubic eountenance of Pitcher Malloy, and come back in sadness and sorrow. Good luck, bad luck, cold and heat, sun and shade, wet and dry-and gilt edge support-all have combined to aid Malloy and bis cratic curves. Why should the spirit of mortal be proud, or, in other words, there's DO use cry ing over split milk. Some mighty good ball teams have had to suffer defeat three times hand running before now, and it will happen again. There is still a chance. Perhaps they will win next time. They do their best; in fact, the games have been marked for hard work and some very remarkable plays. They will try again this evening on the home grounds. Let the Douglas fans give them such support as they never had before, just like they were pennant- winners. It will help them win the Oona

It is time that stop should be made to the practice of carrying guns. A citizen of Douglas has escaped death by a narrow margin. We know nothing of the causes which led up to the shoot ing, but it is a self-evident fact that the affair of Monday might have resulted in several funerals. Every man found carrying a pistol should be fined heav- fly and the pistol confiscated. For a second offense he should be sent to jail. Marshals should be authorized to search every man suspected of carry ing gun. All good citizens should be willing to submit to this, although very few Americans are addicted to the practice. It is mostly limited to Slav- onians. Perhaps if this matter is taken up at once and handled thoroughly we may escape, but if not, the day will will surely come when we shall bury some good citizen, killed by some fel. low who was careless with his gun.

Another Strike

A picture of the discovery of the "Concrete Placer Mine" is on exhibition at the Hunter bar. The scene is near what is now known as "Dutchie's Ranch" at the lower end of Douglas Island. Jeweler Paul Bloedhorn in the center is displaying the contents of a gold pan to an attentive group con- posed of Albin Baritello, John Powell, John Peuglase and several others. At the left is plainly seen location stake and close by the ground is strewn with picks, shovels and sacks of the precious sand. In the background is the Sheep creek range of mountains. It is a pretty picture and remarkable because Photographer Andrews had his camera focused on the spot just as the dis eovery was made.

Douglas Business Man Shot

Dan Popovich, one of the proprietors of the Island hotel, was the victim of a m urderous assault Monday noon at the hands of a Slovenian named Nick Uzalic, who deliberately fired six shots at bis intended victim, five of which took effect.
 Popovich was walking along the side walk near the grand stand at the ball park when be met Uzalic, who was in the street. The latter drew his pistol and immediately began firing shot after shot in rapid succession. Popovich be- gan jumping to evade the bullets, at the same time crying loudly for help. Five shots found mark in Popovich's body from the waist down.
 Uzalic, evidently satisfied with the result of his craftsmanship, turned and walked away few steps and then turned the pistol on himself, pointing it at bis head. But there was no re- port-the weapon was empty. He was then seen to jab the gun against his temple, intlicting a slight wound, and, turning, threw the pistol away and started toward town. He had gone but short distance when Deputy U. s. Marshal McMillan arrived and took him in custody.
 In the meantime friends were helping Popovich to reach St. Ann hospital, where it was found that none of the bullets had struck bone, however badly they had torn through the flesh of the mans legs.
 Uzalic admitted to Marshal McMillan that he had done the shooting and was taken to Juneau and locked up.

More Cultivation Means Larger
Crops


Did you ever stop to considel
why we cultivate our crops
Some one will say, Yes, to kill
the weeds. Another will say "Tc
break the crusts. " These are very
good answers, but there is more
to good cultivation than has been
said.
To be certain when we cult.
waite TO break crusts, we are put.
ting the soil in condition TO hold
the moisture, which is very impor
tant. The most Of MS agree that
we should cultivate lat least as Of
ten as the weeds show up or as
crusts begin to form.
Again many Of MS have formed
opinions that two or three cultiva
tons, including one or two har-
rowings. is enough and when they
have done this much the crop is
ready to lay by This, as a rule is
poor proposition. Our crops at
least, need five civilizations and
often more especially if we count
one narrowing as equal TO one cul-
tivation.
Some one viii ask. Would you
recommend to cultivate a crop
when there are no weeds or crust.
The answer is, Yes. especially
when 10 has been several days
since the crop was worked "
We must remember that cult
walton makes plant food available
in addition TO killing weeds and
breaking crusts. The plant food is
not available in our soil as plant
ing time, in sufficient quantity to
maximum crop without
considerable cultivation during
the growing season. Plant food is

presence of good cultivation in
