officer In tone of disgust, stop your
foolery; you're just using up time.

gentleman will tell you l am his
guest!" He turned to me with sort
of angry laugh.
Tell him, Lightnut," he rasped.
I've had enough of this!'
The big policeman's features ex-
panded in a grin, while Tim doubled
forward an instant, his blue girth
wabbling with internal appreciation
of the Foxy ones facetiousness; and
the janitor snickered.
Jenkins looked shocked AS for me,

affecting a fine sarcasm; "if the gen.
tleman says you're his friend"
He's no friend of mine," l pro-
claimed Indignantly. Never saw him
before in my life"
Instead of being confounded, the
artful old villain fell back with a
great air of establishment and dismay.
BY Jove, he managed to turn fairly

lingly and clutching at the collar OF

He kind of caught the back of g

under his bushy wintry eyebrows. The
beefy rolls of his lower jaw actually
trembled.

classed me as that, Dic--er-Light

The Fish Trap

A trip among the islands, up and down the channels, into the bays and inlets reveals many things to the thoughtful Alaskan in regard to this land which we call home. But the most startling item of the all is the fish trap. i've should have written itin the plural with long string of s-s, for they are certainly many. Every point that juts out into the sea has fish trap at the end of it. Each little bay that presents a haven of rest, has fish trap on both sides of the entrance, and sometimes two or three of them, to catch the fool ish salmon coming or going. This brings us to the question, how can the fish which are expected to propagate escape all these devices set for their capture? It is reasonable to say that they do not, for, like the traps, the can neries are also multiplying in numbers.
 There are those who contend that the salmon will always be plentiful in Alaska waters iu spite of the trap, but we are prone to believe that the state ment is inspired by an interest more in the success of the present seasons pack Shan the future of the industry. Caunerymeu claim that the traps are expensive and do not mean cheap fish; that their purpose is more to avold the disaster brought by striking fishermen the traps can be depended on not to strike just at the height of the season, when the fish are plentiful and every days work counts. Anyway the great number of traps that liue their path way causes one to have feeling of sympathy for the poor fish.

Fire Protection

Among the needful precautions is that which sets up barriers aud pro vides for the emergency of fire. Defense is a necessity and must be almost en- tirely advance work, done with no as- surance that the preparations will ever be needed, but terribl" fear that they may. Douglas has had sts fire, but that is far from an assurance that another and another may not follow. The city council is indeed wise in its work along this line.
 Douglas has very good system of water works, supply ing the town with large quantities of the finest water that ever rau down a hill However, there comes a time almost every year when the supply becomes extremely limited. It is always the season ot high winds. Then it is that the householder trem- bIes at the blast and dreads the ring ing of the fire bell. This condition led the council few years ago to install ap engine and saltwater pump on the city dock, with a liue of pipe running to Front, Second and Third streets. This year 1t was decided to still further improve the system by bringing the pump iu to the shore line, where it will be placed in concrete building rest ing on solid bedrock. The pipe has been taken up and is being being relaid in deep trench below the frost line. It will also be extended to Fourth street to point near the school house.
 The pump house will be two.story affair, built entirely of concrete and areproof. The first story is sunk be- low the level of Front street and will contain the pump-a vantage point re- ducing the tax of the first lift of the water. The second story will be on the street level, and will be used as cart house, for the storing of hose aud other fire fighting apparatus.
 The rapid growth of the town gives more property to protect and makes the improvement of the system impera- tive. It is we'll at all times to be pre- pared.

A Game Lost

What may have been the last ball game of the season of 1912 was played on the Douglas grounds last Sunday afternoon between the Treadwell and Juneau teams. Juneau won by score of g to 6, and made their killing in the ninth inning. Beck and Malloy were the opposing slabsters, and in justice to the former, it might be said that he pitched good enough ball to win any game. Things moved along smoothly until the eighth inning, when "Dennis" scared skyward and the Island boys pounded in four runs. When Juneau went to bat in the first of the ninth the score stood six to against them. lsl- anders betting on the Treadwell team were confident it was all over but tbe shouting and pulling down the dough. Bu, Bobby Burns knew what he was talking about when he said that the best laid plans of mice and men often fall down in the last inning.
 AS we said, Juneau went to bat in the ninth and the first man famed, and so did number two. Shepard got to first on an error, and then black cloud ob- scured the landscape and whenit clear. ed away, nine great long tallies stood to the credit of the Juneau team.
