The Smoker

Those who attended the smoker given for the baseball club at the Lyric last Tursday evening, declare it was one of the liyest affairs that has taken place for some time. The fun began at g o'clock with selection by the band, followed by a reel of moving pictures; then a boxing match be- tween the "Califernia Bear Cat" and the "Tin Can Kid" which was fast and furious, and resulted in draw.
 Dave Housel, as official announcer, kept the crowd in good spirits all the time by springiDg the different attrac- tions. Vocal solos by Francis Corn we'll, Robert Baird, Sam Boast, Jess Peyser, and "Scotty Smith" instru mental renditions by Carl Erickson and Alfred Gordon, were we'll received.
 Some of the boxing bouts between Foreman and DevereauX; Jack Wilson and Heiuie Martin; the Washington Coyoten and the Frisco Bear" the "White Hope" (Jeffl and the "Coming Champ" aud Billy Burke and Jimmy Cham bers, showed considerable class; and the participants in the tug-of.wars were heartily applauded for their efforts.
 That Douglas resent bles 'Frisco in some respects was shown by the man. her in which the "Texas Tommy" as danced by Smith and Curtis, appealed to the crowd. John Reed and "vol unteer" also demonstrated consider able ability along lines terpsichorean. Jack Wilson and Jimmy Chambers refereed the boxing bouts.
 Refreshmentsy consisting of "hot dogs" buns and beer, were served dur ing the evening. A neat sum of money was realized by the affair.

Tin Can Day

April 25tb, 1912, will long be remem- bered by the people of Douglas Island as an event in history. This day was set aside by the ladies of the Civic lm- provement Club as "Tiu Can Day." and a buster scene has seldom been pre- sented anywhere than that which occurred on this occasion.
 With the tapping of the fire bell at 9:30 a. m., the business houses closed up for a large portion of the day, and the teamsters handed their lines over to the fair sex, who immediately began to haul away wagon load after wagon load of sacks of empty cans, broken blanks, loose stumps, and such other accumulations as are in no wise bene' ficial either to the beauty or welfare of any town.
 Fully 1000 sacks of cans were dump ed into the bay off the city wharf, and to each child who turned in full sack, ticket good for five cents was given. A prize of Sl0 was also awarded to the individual who held the highest nun. Der of tickets, and this was won by Miss Myrtle Eggan, who had 2O3 to her credit.
 At noon lunch was served at the NatatOrium, and this was on occasion where that spacious hall was hardly large enough to accommodate the crowd that assem- bled. Salads, hot baked beans, sandwiches, coffee aud doughnuts-and plenty of it-were served the hungry workers, aud cue would have long ways to go, to find 8 jollier and happier lot of people than those who were gathered there. One side of the hall was reserved for the children, a scheme which received favorable comment. The cafeteria idea of service was carried out, and besides making it easier for the members of the lunch committee (who made it their duty to see that every one was we'll provided forl was decided success.
 The work was resumed shortly after dinner, and by o'clock the appear aDce of the town had taken on diff ferent aspect Light showers prevailed during the afternoon, but instead of dampening he spirits of the workers, only succeeded in settling the dust. Supper was served at 5:3O and every one went away satisfied, feeling that being "Better Booster for Douglas" beside they had enjoyed themselves immensely.
 The movement not only resulted in ridding the town of several objec- tionable landmarks, and improving vastly the sanitary condition, but ac- cordlng to dealers, never before has there been such demand for flower seeds as that made within the past week.
 To the various committees who put the undertaking to such a successful end, too much credit cannot be given.

From California

G. A. Hubbell, a representative of purchasable land values, at San Fran. cisco Bay, California, is here in Doug las to meet those who want to meet him. He says that statisticians claim that New York City will surpass Lon. don, the metropolis of the world, in population by 1920, caused mainly by the immigrant business of the steam. ship companies, which population is now so per cent foreigners. That the Panama canal, to be finished in 1913, will cause greater immigrant flow to San Francisco Bay, the western entre- pot of the Panama canal than ever before to any American port. That the West coast of America is the best place for an immigrant-thist the immi grant knows-and that the Panama canal will help him to it. The steam ships wish to do an increased protita' ble business, and announce that steer age passengers will be charged the same fare as to New York, with only small canal duty charge added for "California." That Samuel GOmpers, president of the American Federation of Labor, claims an immigrant traffic to San Francisco Bay of not less than 300,000 year.
 San Francisco's harbor is thousands of miles nearer the storehouse of Asia than New York The worlds future great ocean commerce is to be on the Pacific ocean. The old world must meet the new world first on the Pacific coast. Therefore, the greatest habil at of man is destined to be around San Francisco Bay-the worlds greatest har bor and in be greatest state
 The science of getting on cay street is not by laboling, but by learning where population is to grow best, and then getting land for land value growth.
 At San Francisco Bay, where now is a population of one million fora5 cent commuters car fare, is Richmond An neX, where lot property can be bought, with all improvements frst.class, in the recent sub division for less per month than some persons spend for cigarettes.
 Richmond is not but soon. It is a now is
 1t is the western home of the great Standard Oil refinery, the Pullman Palace Car Works, and other active corporate producers with an outlay for operations of over thirty million dol lars, as set forth in detail in the Ju- neau Daily Dispatch of April 17th, and with a payroll of more than quarter of a million dollars every thirty days.
 All persons interested in Gods country, will be pleased to meet at the San Souci-especially Missourians they like to be shown-and pale is today's truth compared with tomor rows.

Chas. F. Anderson, ex-mayor of Ravensdale, last Thursday replaced the halyards in the fagpole on Mayhower island which were broken last winter. The feat was hard one, in that the pole was wet and slippery, but with patience, perseverance and a three hours climb, he succeeded in reaching the top.
