Juneau Takes First Step
 Toward Fire Department

that had been put up for the new school house. but that there was urg- ent necessity of creating fire alarm system.
 Every member of the council had something to say on the subject. Councilman Marshall said that it was his belief that the sureties on the school money would soon be relieved by an act of Congress that would per init the City of Juneau to issue bonds for school purposes and thus release the money and bonds of private par ties. This would make it possible to go ahead with Councilman Hurlbntts plan for central fire station. It was the opinion fall that the risk was great and that something should be done now. The difficulty to over come in establishing the alarm sys' tenn is to find a central station. Ar ter a discussion, on motion of council man Case the matter was ordered to be given to the cour gil as committee of the whole for further consideration.

The City Council, at last nights meeting, took the first steps to place the Juneau fire department in the paid class. On motion of Councilman Ed. Hurlbutt Mark Sabin was elected fire warden at salary of $9OOO per month. The warden is expected to give his undivided attention to the business of taking care of the fire ap- paratur, and to guarding against fires. He will work under the direction of the fire chief An order was also passed by the councilmen by unani- nous vote that all the hose now in use by private parties be called in and that hereafter no hose shall be used except on public work by the city.
 The installation of an up-to.date fire alarm system was also discussed in detail. Councilman Hurlbutt said that it was impossible at this time to get the money to establish a central fire station on account of the guarantee

NOVELTIES OPPOSE NEW MINING LAW
FOURTH GAME OF
 SERIES TOMORROW
O-O-

Juneau will be invaded again tomor' row by the Douglas-Treadwell Wild cats. They are coming over for more money. There is not the slightest doubt but that they will put up free fight to get it if that sort of a con test is necessary-and some people be- Iieve it will be. An attempt was made to get the lineup of the Pirates but Tom Radonich would not divulge the combination. "Tomorrow's game will be good" was all the satisfaction that could be obtained along this line. Perhaps Dermody will pitch" he asid, and perhaps he will not" Tom says that he has money to bet that Jul neau takes a majority of the games in the series of ten.
 The lineup of the Island conting' ent will probably remain the same, as they have reached good stage of team work. There may possibly be a new pitcher on the mound although Pittman seems to be the real goods. A clever baseball manager never likes to have a pitcher go stale and Pitt man may not be worked tomorrow.
 At any rate the game promises to be very interesting Also there is ev- cry reason to expect a very large at tendance. The home team seems to have hoodoo that has been working overtime, but this imp may be asleep tomorrow. The really superstitious will look for signs. They have al, ready discovered that Donald Haley, the mascot, did not so to Douglas with the Pirates last Sunday and also that he fell in the channel the last time the Islanders were over here. Donald is looking good right now and he will bring his winnings ways to the park tomorrow.
