Douglas Island news., 1913-04-09

The success of the "May ytower Carni- val" given in Douglas last spring has set the people of the town to studying and planning for something bigger and better. All large cities like Frisco, Sc sttle and Douglas have their annual festivals and jubilee days. It is only little insiguiGcant hamfets that never get up anything of this kind. They haven't the get up to them.
 Now the carnival last year exceeded sll expectations, even of the promoters. There was no end of fun to it, and the proceeds went to good cause.-the building of MayAower pavilion, where. by the way, lot of dances are going to be given this summer. Still last years carnival was the first one ever held in Douglas and the promoters learned a whole lot. Some mistake, were made that wilg not be made again. There were features that were just right. Harmless, happy good things, that caught the fancy oft the crowds. These will be repeated ona bigger and broader scale; that is & the plaDs NOW sogmng are to be carried out.
 One idea ;hat is especially worthy of mention is that some of the features of the conusry fair be nrr oduced and that there be an att exhibit. The woman who can bake the best loaf Of bread should be giyen 8 prize. Or the best cake or pie. Phe News man has no political am bitions, bat he would like to be mem Der of the pie-tastlng com mittee. Then a small prize might be given to the cook who. cssn produce the best dish of gum boots and cabbage.
 In the art exhibit could be displayed the needlework, in which some of the women of the community are especially proficient. And P reward could be given for patched pair of pants-we mean trousers. They a'e pretty scarce articles on the Island. In some towns way back in the states, Art Loan EX hibitions are drawing cards. There are hundreds of interesting relics on the Island, gathered from the four corners of the earth, which many folks never get chance to see, but if gathered for the purpose of exhibition would well be worth the price of admission.
 And then there is one interesting feature we nearly foygot---we might have baby show, and while a good many people laugh at baby shows they all go to look at the babies just the same. They are the ouly real nice things in the world.

or DO trap is the bone of contention. The proposition to abolish the traps brought storm of protest from the cannerymeu, who declare that such drastic action would be almost their undoing. They also insist that traps are not responsible for the destruction of the salmon, but the gill nets and seines. All owners of traps agree on this point. A few fishermen who have appeared before the committee still claim that the trap is the menace to the industry.
 With all the wrangling, one thing has leaked out. and that is that the fish are becoming less. Scientific methods of their capture, the multiplying of traps on every point and at the entrance of every stream, and seines worked with little regard for law, all combiue to hasten the day when the great industry will be thing of the past. The Alaska legislature has duty to perform, aud on it's action hangs the fate of this wonderful food fish. Let them do that duty in an honest and fair manner and future generations will bless them. Let them fail and on their heads will rest the burden of the blame.

One of the projects of the new city council that is about to take up the reins of government in Douglas town or "New T0wn," as old timers used to call it--is the widening of St. Ann avenue. Time was when only trail connected Douglas with it's meal-ticket, Treadwell It was rough trail, too; winding it's devious and uncertain way through gulleys, and around stnmps and cabins. It was brave navigator who undertook a night voyage without good lantern. Then came a narrow plank between the rails of the "upper track" When this was added TO by a plank on the outer side of each rail we were making progress to beat the band. Rev. Cole was one of the prime movers in this great achievement. The Rev. Cole was one of the few preachers ever in Douglas whose interest in public af- fairs extended beyond. the front door of his church.
 Finally the present road was built. Then we were satisfied that never, within decade at least,- wcnld there be need for anything better, But now that old dirty road that leads to Tread we'll is disgrace to the community, and besides it is too narrow for any, thing. Men, women. children, teams, dogs and baby buggies jostie and dodge. 1t is the main thoroughfare of the Island. Everybody travels it. We are growing, and We need bigger and better things every year.

Iu order that the sancity of the tem- pie of justice may not be profaued, Judge Fuller, of Fair banks, has ordered Attorney l.. K. Pratt 70 abstain from chewing tobacco while in the courl room. No doubt the order will be obeyed. Court room performances are often ridiculous to an observing spec tator. Attorneys often chew the nasty weed, and spit regularly between each question which they fire at a witness. Again they will walk deliberately the full length of the court room to squirt carefully at certain spit box, while the business of the court waits amid anxious silence. Others have leaning toward candy and consistently load their jaws with chunks of sweetness. Juries are not exempt. The weakness of the average juror is for gum, and as the case slowly drags along they chew chew chew, sometimes iii unison, aud then in broken time. But the most striking case in point is the able prac titioner who 6evotes hours to the iuno- cent practice of picking his nose.

The Peter@ burg Progressive is still trying to discover why the people of that town pay more for their coal than either Ketchikan or Junean folks do. Douglas was up against the coal prop oSition for many years, but IL was finally worked out by the building of d city dock and the city haLdling coal on reasonable margin. Coal that for merly cost the consumer Sl3 per toa delivered is now sold for Sl0. If the Petersburg folks want cheaper coal, let them build municipal dock.

AanhaIt and an Accident.

Asphalt, with which so many roads
are paved, was found by accident.
Many years ago In Switzerland natural
rock asphalt was discovered, and for
more than a century 1t was used for
the purpose of extracting the rich
stores Of bitumen it contained. In
time 1t was noticed that pieces Of rock
which fell from the wagons and were
crushed by the wheels formed mar
velously fine road surface when assist
ed by the heat of the sun. A proper
road OF asphalt rock was then made.
following upon the discovery, and in
1854 an experimental roadway was
laid in Paris. From that time the use
Of rock asphalt for the making OF
roads and pavements has increased
and extended to many countries.
