Douglas Island news., 1911-04-05

The registration amounted to 900 names and there were 32S votes boiled.
 Foe school treasurer there were two candidates, R. k. Hubbard fer the "in. surgents" and Nicholas King, The vote stood: Hubbard, 143; King, 179.
 The campaign was one of the ligeliest in the history of the town The self named insurgents" not only published @ platform, copy of which appeared in last weeks News, bat they covered the streets with bills declaring that the members of the old couucil were guilty of almost every crime in the calendar, including the burning Of the town by buying cheap hose, which burst under pressure. On the part of the old coun- cil there was no reply to these state ments They depended on theiC record as men and citizens, and the good sense of the people of Douglas for their re- election. And they were 0ot dissp. pointed
 The day was all that could be de- sired-clear, calm and with that gentle balm in the air that betokens the ap- proach of spring. 1t was whispered on the street that had storm ragged it might have been all OF with the old crowd. There were no disturbances during the day, nor ia the evening when huge crowd gathered to hear the re- suits. So there are no sore heads to heal this morning, nnless they are car ried by the defeated candidates, and we hope they will get we'll in time.
 The outcome of the election in the town of Douglas is significant, for it re. veals a number of things. First, it shows that the insurgents, who were so pronounced in their views and in their declarations of their own honesty and of the dishenor of the old council, are not believed by the people of Douglas. Again, it shows that the people of the town are in favor Of the city dock and have confidence that the old council will complete it as it should be and will make of 1t a paying institution. 1t shows that the people of Douglas, each aud every one of them, appreciate the redRction in the cost of coal made pos sible by the city dock. It shows that the people of Douglas are entirely op- timistic as to the city's future and will not be fooled, and that our 4'insurge' friends had best put their sledge out of commission.

INTERNATIONAL RIFLE MATCH
Company G Of Aberdeen Will Meet
Crack Company From British
Columbia in This City

Arran9e ZEN entS are well under way
be held in this city in September be-
tween teams representing the Duke
If Connausht's Own Rifles, OF Van
couver, B. c., and Company G of this
city, only enlisted men to compete.
First Lieutenant H. A. Comeau, of Co.
G, has been appointed by Captain A.
l.. Johnson to conclude arrangements
and act as Executive Officer at the
the match.
In reply to a letter from Major Hub
HE. of the crack Canadian regiment,
asking for suggestions in regards to
the ranges and number of shots, Lieut..
Comeau has submitted several courses
any one OF which would be acceptable
to the local men. 1t is expected that
one planning ten shots, slow fire, on
the 200, 500 and 1000 yard ranges
and skirmish run will be selected
by the Canadians. Next season the To-
cal team will visit Vancouver as the
guests of the competing team.
The expense of bringing four men
from Vancouver will be comparatively
small and several business men of
the city have offered to raise the
amount by subscription. A cup for
competition may likewise be donated.
The Canadian regiment got its name
in the Boer war, when the Duke of
Connaught, knowing of the mems
eagerness to see action, personally
financed it through the war in South
Africa, where it's record was most
meritorous. The bringing of this
contingent to the city will reflect
credit on both the local National
Guard company and Aberdeen in gen.
eral.

TO IMPROVE PHONE SERVICE

AS a result of the kick of w. j. Pat
terson on the telephone service be-
fore the city council last week, F. L.
McNally, of Seattle, is in the city
looking up the cause of the trouble
Mr.. Mentally admits the business of
the complaint, and says the company
has now planned improvements to the
extent of $4,000 upon the system in
Aberdeen, and that the trouble is
caused by the unexpected growth of
the city in a telephone way. He calls
attention to the fact that the number
of phones in use in the city has in
creased from 1876 on January l, 1907,
to 1909 on July 1, 1911, and assures
us that the company will provide in
the future for rapidity of growth it
had been impossible to figure on in
the past 1t is suggested that the
company try an increased wage scale
for operators for improved service,
even if slight increase in rates
must be made to meet it.

Game of Snowballs.

The game called snowballs is played
very like the old favorite. the potato
race. The snowballs are little toys. or
Jokes. or favors, as you please. wrap
ped in cotton batting very carefully. so
that the balls may be perfectly round,
and then, last of all. are covered with
white tissue paper. glued on. If you
put thin coat Of mucilage over the
outside of this and sprinkle it with
frost powder 1t will look like real
SNOWFALL.
There should be as many balls as
there are guests in the party. Two
baskets-just ordinary market baskets
will do-are provided to hold the snow
balls and are placed on two chairs at
one end of the room. The snowballs
are then laid on the carpet in two long
lines from each basket to the end of
the room, an equal number in each line
and the same distance apart.
A child stands by each chair and at
a given signal runs for the farthest
SNOWFALL. picks it up and. running
back. drops it in the basket. then goes
for the next farthest. and so on until
all are collected. The child who first
gathers all in his row into his basket
wins the game. No SNOWFALL must be
broken. If one e :c:n it counts as a
foul in the game.
The children may be divided for this
game into two teams, and the side
which has the most successful players
after all have had a chance to play
counts as the winning team.
At the end Of the game the snowballs
are distributed, and the children open
them. discovering the treasures wrap
ped up inside.
