EASTER BALL WAS A
 BRILLIANT SUCCESS

One of the most brilliant and sue cessful social affairs ever held in Ju- neau was the Easter ball. given in Elks' hall last night by the Altar So- ciety of the Catholic church. The la dies having the affair in hand are cer- tainly deserving of high praise for the splendid manner in which it was conducted. Preparations were made for a large crowd, and the crowd was there. The large auditorium of Elks' hall was one grand crush. Everybody had a good time-happiuess reigned everywhere in the hall. There were many out of town people present from Douglas island and Sheep creek and from Perseverance. It was an inform al affair yet there were many beauti- ful gowns in evidence.
 The music furnished by the Juneau orchestra under the direction of Prof. SumpE. has never been excelied in Ju- neau. Many remarks or its excellence were called forth and many encores were asked for and granted by the generous players. Dancing continued until one o'clock.

 OUTLINES PLANS

The city council has decided to ap- point a head for each department who is 10 be held responsible for his de- partment, The city marshal for in stance will be allowed to choose the members of his force but he will have to get results or so. The office of city engineer will be abolished according to the plans agreed upon and there will be a street commissioner appoint ed who will have to take care of the streets and sewers. He will secure his own help including an engineer when needed. The salary of the clerk and magistrate may be reduced but 1t is likely that be will be allowed an as- sistant which will mean small in- crease in the expense of that office. The foregoing was tentatively agreed upon at a private and informal meet ing of the city council last night.
 The conduct of saloons was also dis eussed and 1t was decided that all of the saloons would be notified that such ot them as persisted in selling l- Quor to druRkards and drunken men and allowed their places to become nuisances will be in danger of losing their licenses. They will be notified that in event of not complying with the regulations to conduct orderly houses and obey the notice about sell ing liquor to d;unkards that the city council will cooperate with the Feder- al authorities in the matter of having the license revoked.

CAMP FIRE TAG DAY
 HAS BEEN ABANDONED

The Camp Fire Girls tag day. which had been scheduled for Saturday, has been abandoned. This has been done for various reasons. Miss Edith Kemp thorpe. the guardian of the Camp Fire Girls. speaking of the proposed outing Of the Camp Fire Girls, for which funds are required, said:
 It has been asked: Why should the girls earn money for their summer camp?
 The only way in which this work can grow wisely and extensively is by having the girls themselves realize that 1t is their own work, and so take hold and each Camp Fire carry it's share. It Is bad policy to educate girls to receive as a gift that which they can and should provide for themselves.
 "To help people to help themselves Is fundamental.
 "rhe Sitka Springs has been chosen as being the safest and most beautiful place to 90 to. Mir. Nowell has made a special rate for the Camp Fire, and has promised to send the Georgia right in to Hot Springs. so as to save the transportation at Sitka."
