 Peter Linden, of Seldovia, Alaska, head and neck badly burned.
 The fire started in the rear of the hotel, a three story frame building, and spread so rapidly that the guests in second and third story rooms were cut off from escape and were forced to iump from the windows of the burning building or brave the dangers of the burning railways and stairs. It was a night of horror and the screams of the tortured men and women could be heard for blocks.
 Besides the Juneau hotel, three other buildings were almost entirely consumed.
 The Circle City hotel was saved, al. though badly seorched. The large store and bank buildings of B. M. Beh- rends, in the same block, escaped with out injury.
 The fire boys worked nobly and the supply of water was abundant. Every. body was thankful there was no wind.

Mir. Kenneth c. Kerr, industrial agent for the Alaska Steamship Com pany, was a visitor iu Douglas one day last week. Mir. Kerr says that he has nothing to do with politics, religion or any other creature, but is busy all the time educating the people of the states in the one branch-Alaska. The presi- dent of the Alaska Steamship Company and a number of the other head officials are old railroad men, says Mr. Kerr, aud i, is their intention to apply rail- road methods to the steamship busi- ness-that is, they will seek to develop and build up the country to which their boats run. This they propose to do by bringing the resources and at fractions of Alaska before the people of the states with the object of iuduc- ing the capitalist to invest his money and the immigrant to make this home. With this end in view Mir. Kerr is on the lookout for everything that will help the cause along and seeks the CO., operation of Alaskans to the extent of information as to new discoveries, new enterprises, fine scenery, good fishing, hunting and everything else of interest 10 the outside world.

Douglas Island news., 1911-09-06

After years of seeming immunity, 6 serious fire has visited both Douglas aud Juneau during the year 1911. Doug las suffered a serious loss of property, while bitter March wind howled and whistled. Juneau had her night of hor TOT and death under the clear, calm September sky. And the latter was worse than the former. When, then, may we say we are safe? What night can We retire to our couch confident that no hoarse alarm shall disturb our slumbers; that no hell of fire shall cut short our dreamsG Is it not time, then, that the best effort of our citizens be devoted to the subject, to plan, if pos sible, perfect protection. Shall we continue to build fire traps, that may also prove to be death-traps2- Does not the permaneney of our towns justify the use of brick, stone, ilon or steel, or all of them in the construction of our buildings? Other localities have had these same questions to answer and have solved. the problem. Since March Douglas has fought out the old tin chimney, but there are other things equally as dangerous.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING

'sWhen my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it, it came in
little watery-Hke testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after few
days it would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
81 consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
! used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at ALL Then I
wrote for a book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. I did as I
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
(Signed) Mrs. Freeman Crayer, 81

Ointment are sold everywhere, sam
pie of each, with 32-page book, will

Diary of a FIy-kjIIcr.

Monday-My attention was called
last night to a statement that house
flies are bearers of disease and should
be destroyed as soon as possible
began my crusade against them this
morning. 1t was little discouraging,
because there was only one fly in the
house and it was quite agile. It es-
capped me. l broke two vases and a
photograph frame
Tuesday nearly killed three flies
this afternoon, but the lamp got in
the way. 1t was 81 lamp.
Wednesday, saw a fly en- the out
side of the fly screen and raised the
screen SO I could hit it. Seventeen
flies flew in. I missed it.
Thursday-There was a sluggish
looking fly on the window with closed
wings. I stole toward it cautiously,
but 1t flew up just as / let the blow
fall. Then I knew it wasn't a fly. 1t
was a wasp. My nose began to swell
at once.

BIRDS FIGHT THEIR IMAGES.
But So Do Fish, for That Matter According to
Darwin.

A correspondent for the Scotsman recently re-
ported what he described the curious freak Of
blackbird flying against parlor window many
times at the spot continuously. Such In
cident is not uncommon. Birds have been known
to fight for hours at time, dag after day, with
their own image reflected in pane OF glass, peck
ing and futtering against the pane and quite
hausting themselves in their fury to demolish the
supposed rival. It is another instance Of how the
arts of our civilization corrupt and confuse the
birds.
1t is the same with fishes. Darwin tells
story of pike in an aquarium separated by plate
glass from fish which were its proper food. In
trying to get at the fish the pike would often dash
with such violence against the glass as to be com.
pletely stunned. 1t aid this for more than three
months before 1t learned caution. Then when
the glass was removed the pike would not attack
those particular fish, but would devour others

The bulldog is famous watch dog the
farm and there many farms all up end down
the hand where one OF these pugnacious beasts Is
considered Indispensable. However, the seem

keep. Volumes have been written regarding the
remarkable Intelligence and judgment displayed
by the shepherd dogs of this and other countries
in minding focks of sheep and thousands of dogs
are today doing mems work in this field. Similar
y efficient service is performed very frequently
by dogs in assisting to drive cattle to market or
to the railroad yards and even in the more deli
cate work of rounding up poultry. Finally there
are hundred minor services as for example, that
performed by the numerous farm dogs that have
been taught by their masters to meet the rural
free delivery carrier each day and to bring to the
farm house the mail and the daily paper. This
is big time-saver for the farmer when as is so
often the case, the r. F. D. box is located con-
siderable distance from the dwelling
Some persons have even predicted that the
time will come in America when of
farmers will employ dogs as they do in Holland
and other foreign countries to draw the carts OF
milk to the creameres and do other work that
entrust to horses but this prediction is not
generally accepted because of the great distances
involved in this country However, there Is no
why the usefulness of intelligent CANNES
should not be still further developed and certain
ly as the automobile habit spreads in the rural
communities the farmers are going to find dogs in
dspensabe in more ERECTION, for it has been
proven that there is deterrent like dog that
looks as though he meant business for warning off
the JOY riders who are wont to appropriate auto
mobiles that they find standing unguarded in the
reefs or in market space at picnic.
All the above mas reference, OF course, to the
value as helpers the farm, but this by
exhausts the possibilities of the subject. On an
increasing number of farms 1t has been found
that dogs can be made source of actual revenue.
This is accomplished by breeding blooded dogs
for the market. 1t is of necessity side line
to be sure, but it be made most profitable
one for fine dogs bring big prices and the farmer
has the facilities for breeding dogs under the best
conditions without fraction of the investment
that would be required of who established
kennel on tract of land used for other pur-
pose. Moreover the farmers wife and children
can do most of the work of caring for the dogs
just as they do in many Instances in the
of the poultry. There is not much danger that
it will prove rksome either, for there is nothing
more amusing than the average puppy, and he
does not as rule require that extreme solicitous
care that must be bestowed upon some other
classes of pet stock
The species of dogs which may most advan-
tageously be selected farm helpers is, of course
matter of individual opinion and there al
most as many different opinions the subject
with the regard to the age at which people should
marry. Naturally personal preferences on the
part of the farmer and the members of his family
ofttimes have much to do with choice and then
again the sort of assistance that is desired from
