Good Show


 Mr. Emmett Harris, representative of the National Cash Register Company, of Dayton, Ohio, entertained the mem bers of North Star Lodge, No. 2 Knights of Pythias, last Thursday night with a splendid set of pictures of the Dayton flood. He also entertained the crowd with lecture and pictures of uphft work that is being done by his company at Dayton. The improved conditions for employees, the boys gar dens, the decoration of home places by the planting of flowers and shrubbery, all possessed a peculiar element of in- terest for Douglas, where just such blessings are sadly needed.
 While Mir. Harris is engaged in the business of selling cash registers, he takes a special delight in the educa- tional branch os his work, which he carries as a side line. At some future time be promises to come again, when, with proper announcement, he may have a large audience of Douglas people who are beginning to take a lively in terest in the work for which the Day ton company has become famous.

Reports came yesterday of a terrible storm at Nome. which began Saturday and continued until everything within the reach of the angry sea was wrecked. Three lives were lost and property de. stroyed amounting to a million dollars or more. Offers of assistance from of Acial and other sources have been sent to the stricken community. It is hoped that the first reports have been exag- qsrated and that the damage is hot SO great as atated. It is a desperate cir oumstance for a town situated on the shores of an Arctic sea to have homes, storss and quantities of provisions de- stroyed. Il may mean that the coming winter will bring extreme suffering and perhaps starvation to the camp.

Pays the Penalty

Stroller White, of the Wbitehorse Star, who has been hanging around places where be had no business, like pie contests and Indian camps, filling bis feeble frame with rhubarb and his mind with ancient history of savage people, has something terrible the mat ter with him, SO we forgive him for all the mean things be said about that trunk strap. Just reading bis touching appeal to the people of Whitehorse caused us to shed tears of sympathy. He said:
 "The editor of the Star is not P. w. physical wreck-but has been advised by four doctors and eleven old women that he needs a short respite from his arduous labors. To bring this about it will be necessary for him to go outside for a month or six weeks, It requires money to so outside-more if 8 person comes back. We expect to do both.

Hunters lost in the vicinity of Doty's cove some time ago entered the cabin belonging to Charlie Doty and helped themselves Co the material for a square neal However when they departed they left a note to the owner, thanking him Cor the use of the cabin and enumerating the supplies they had used. They gave their names and ad- dress and said that whatever the cost they would gladly pay the bill. If all hunters aud others were possessed of the same spirit it would be a fine thing for this part of Alaska But they are not The hunting lodge at Twin point was riddled of its contents and what they could not carry away the mis- creants destroyed We know of one case where men of like character climbed seven miles to the top of a mountain and robbed a miners cabin of a stove and all the cooking utensils. Many a man, lost in the hills, cold from exposure, with his clothing drenched from the rain, has rejoiced to find a cabin, and no one would object for such a man to use everything needed make himself comfortable. But when property is stolen or maliciously de- stroyed, the owner has a right to be angry. The two men who visited Charlie Doty's cabin were evidently of the square kind, and old Charlie DOty is anxious to meet them and tell them that they were welcome to everything they used. They live in Juneau.

HORSE HORSE BBOOOSS BOOSTED Ed
BY EXHIBITS
ATSTATEF FAIRS

A paper Of unusual interest. read
recently by S. E. Hutchins, before the
State Board of Agriculture Of Iowa,
contains so much Of interest to Della
wareans interested in the Delaware
state Fair, that a portion of it is
printed herewith
There is proof abundant that the
turf has its legitimate place as de-
partment in our agricultural fairs,
and it is for US TO determine how best
to perform the task in these respects,
set for us today. There are many sug-
gostions being made. My suggestion
is that we set about to raise the stand
ard Of the turf in the estimation of the
horsemen as well as the public,
thereby hoping to make it more attrac-
tive and more profitable to the breed
ers and to the Fair Association. The
day was when breeders raised their
horses and tried them out in friendly
contest with little or nothing at stake,
except to ascertain which was the best
one. They were proud of their pro-
duct With the almost finished pro-
duct, We should be able to do much
more with the horse than was then
accomplished. Most of the great fairs
have Instituted horse shows. These
shows are for the encouragement Of
saddlers drivers and various others,
for fashionable as well as useful pur-
poses For the encouragement Of
breeders, more attention should be
paid to the various breeds and classi-
fications, and more classes in the
horse shows should be devoted to
their interests. The breeder who can
train a stable of horses and carry
with him others for premium and
show purposes, would occupy an ideal
position in the horse world It would
elevate the business and tend to solve
the problem of starters in races. The
public will never weary or grow tired
of the speed horse, whether shown on
the race track, in the show ring or
when led or driven out for a class
premium"
