MayfIower Pavilion

The contract for building the pavil- ion on Mayfower island has been let to Mir. George Brown, and it is to be com pleted by the Fourth of July. This has all been made possible by the success of the carnival last month and the kind liberality of Superintendent Kinzie.
 The pavilion is to occupy a com manding position in the center of May flower island. It is to be built in the form of an octagon, sixty feet in dia, meter. The walls will be nine feet high, surmounted by a roof converging to the center in the style of the main building. Each of the eight sides of the pavilion will contain large win dow for light ard ventilation. The main entrance will be toward 'he wharf to which r vii! ba connected by a wide, terrarrd stairway. An eight-foot walk vii, run complei ely around the pavilion.
 The interior of the pavilion will be illuminated by high-power electric lights, and music stand will ba built in the center.
 Mayfower, or, as Governor Clark says, "ahas Juneau island, has become a. source of much pleasure to tine peo- pie of Douglas Islaud, but wi,h the completion of this latest addition its joys will be increased ten fold In the past 1t has only been asorI of zoo, with its bears, deer, rabbits aud porcu pine; tut all kirds of enter 5ainment7 can be giveu iu the new pavilion. And then it will be fine place for the next carnival.

Still After 'En

As an aftermath of the dance hall days in Douglas, comes the complaint filed last month in the superior court of the state of Washington for Pierce county, in which F. D. Moritz is the plaintiff and Samuel Gius and Mrs. Samuel Gius are defendants.
 In his complaint plaintiff alleges that on the second day of May, 1906, while a patron, customer and guest of the de- fendants' saloon in Douglas, Alaska, he was induced and persuaded to pur- chase and consume beer and other iu. toxicating liquors, which beer and liquors were mixed and adulterated with drugs and opiates, which drugs and opiates produced upon plaintiff a condition ofstupefaction, unconscious ness and coma, and while in that con- dition plaintiff was robbed of Sl750.
 The plaintiff also alleges that said drugs and opiates caused him to be- come sick aud invalid, permanently i'm. paired his physical health, mental powers and memory, and caused his nervous system to become and remain shattered and impaired, and caused and produced m plaintiff various dis orders of the stomach, lungs and healt and other vital organs and causing and producing great pain and suffering in the region of said organs, by reason whereof the plaintiff has suffered aud will continue to suffer great pain, both bodily and mentally; and producing an involuntary and constant tremor and twitchiug of plaintiffs limbs; and his ability to carry on and engage in the ordinary and usual avocations of life is thereby greatly lessened; that plaintiffs mind and nervous system were so affected thereby that ever since said time he has been and will perman- ently continue to be subject to ire quent periods of melancholy, mental depression and dejection, and to fre- Quent and severe headaches and attacks of dizziness and vertigo; that such trembling and shaking of plaintiffs body and limbs attracts the attention of strangers, exciting derisiou and ridi cule in some, and pity and sympathy in others. all to the humiliation of plaintiff.

The Fourth of July celebration.on Douglas Island this year will be a great one. Of course, it is too much to ask of people living in the wild and wooley west that it be made au entirely "safe and sane" celebration as we'll. Still we hope our merchants will refrain from selling to children those devilish de- vices known as giant crackers. Doug las has had several instances of terrible injuries wrought by fire crackers. In one little boy lost his eyesight. In another young man nearly lost a hand. Letus celebrate, but for good ness sake let us not kill any of the chil- dren to do it.

Il is very necessary that the seed be
tested before it IS planted. In the
northern states where fall rains pre-
vented early gathering much Of the
corn was frozen and the germ killed.
This corn should not be used in this
country 1t isn't much trouble for
the farmer to test his seed after he
