Kitchen Kinks.

A little borax water boiled in the
coffee pot once in two weeks will keep
it sweet and bright inside.
When anything has been spilled on
the stove, or milk has boiled over and
a suffocating smoke arises, cover the
spot with salt
A small pinch of carbonate of soda in
the water in which cabbages are boiled
preserves the color of the vegetables
and lessons the unpleasant odor while
boiling.
A good way to use up coal dust is to
save all paper bags, fill them with the
dust, and when the fire requires mend
ing place bag of dust on it, with few
pieces of coal on top. This plan is much
cleaner than putting on the dust in
shovelfuls, as it cakes, and so does not
tumble through the bars Of the CRATE
on to the hearth.

In the Sweet Bye and Bye.

In about 1886, when we shall have
made our stake and can print paper
just as we please, our items will be
more interesting. For instance:
Gwendolyn Petite has again gone to
a summer resort in search of husband
Whenever we see a married man
chewing gum we always wonder what
kind he drinks.
II Dan Labernot would paint his
house more and his nose less both
would look better to his neighbors,
About the only difference we have
been able to figure out between whist
party and poker game is that one is
played in the parlor and the other in a
hay loft.
We shouldn't like to say that Web
Sweatless is positively lazy, but he al
ways makes one of his kids stand
around the board and move his "men"
when he is playing checkers.
We really feel that Mrs. Lofer should
send Ike's dinner up town to him. 1t
is annoying to Ike to have to walk
home every noon. And then too, he
often has to go just when he gets a
good argument started.

THE SPENDTHRIFT. !"

A play worthy of universal patron
age was a proposition confronting Mr..
C. S. Primrose, the Chicago producer
of New York theatrical successes for
the past several seasons. His efforts
were finally rewarded in "The Spend
thrift" a play by Porter Emerson
Browne, author of "a Fool There Was
and other notable successes.
The play is one peculiarly appealing
to theatre patrons inasmuch that it pre-
sents situation and condition unlike
that of any other theme ordinarily dis
covered in the present-day theatrical
offering.
"The Spendthrift' is equipped with
a competent cast and the production in
point of scenic investure and theatrical
effects is the equal il not superior to
any attraction on the road.
Mr.. Primrose will be remembered as
the owner of one of last seasons best
successes, 1.-THE Thief" which was the
finest attraction of the year.
1.-THE Spendthrift is booked at
Temple Theatre for one night, Friday
Aug. %.

BOSTON, Jan. s. - Senator Henry Cabot Lodge states to the Boston American that he will do everything in his power to secure a government reserve bank for Boston if the busi- ness interests of New England favor Boston's having such bank. He says: Tt is for the business men and bank CTS of Boston and New England to de- eide whether they desire a regional bank in Boston. In my opinion the bill provides for too many regional banks. and there is grave question whether 1t would not be better for Bos- ton and New England to be united with Pennsylvania and New Jersey in a regional bank at New York. branch of which could be established in Bos' ton"

CHICAGOFF MINE
 INSTALLING PLANT

A new 375 kilowat power plant is being installed by the company at Chi chagofr that is to fprnish power for the drills, light, and for general pur' poses about the mines. The energy is generated by water With the com. pletion of the plant the mines will be equipped to prosecute development and production of the mines in marked degree.
 w. c. Freeburn, superintendent of the Chichagoff mines, under his broth CT James Freeburn, who is general manager, is a firm believer in the per manency of the mining industry of Southeastern Alaska. Several years ago MT. Freeburn was superintendent of the Mt. Andrew copper mine at Had ley.
 Speaking of the chichagoff mine Mir. Freeburn stated that the progress there was satisfactory. The little 2O- stamp mill is kept busy crushing all the time, averaging about 75 tons daily. The Chlchagofr property now being worked consists of two mines, the Mills property or upper mine, and the De- Groff property or lower mine. In the former they are now working on the 14OO.foot level, while in the latter they are working on the 11OO.foot level. On each working level in both proper ties it has been found that the ore con tent has been consistent.
 Mir. Freeburn was called to Juneau on account of the illness of his daugh- ter, Miss Louise Freeburn, who has been teaching in the Douglas public schools. Miss Freeburn is so far re- covered that Mir. Freeburn took pass age for sitka on the Al.Ki enroute to the mines.

JUNEAU CHILDREN
 WORRY POLICE

1 Chief of Police J. T. Martin is re- ceiving complaints about the non-en- forcement of the "curfew" ordinance, which requires children. unacccmpan- jed by some one of mature age, from being on the streets after g o'clock in the evening. He admits that the po- ! lice department is having difficulty in enforcing the ordinance. but says 1t is due to lack of cooperation on the part of parents rather than anything else.
 Parents frequently become angry when We take or send their children home at night" he said," and when we warn them that it is time to go home they simply go around corner out of our sight and remain on the streets.
 If the parents would make 1t a point to require their children from staying on the street in violation of law, it would be the most satisfactory way of enforcing the ordinance. and it would do the children far more good than a system that has a tendency to cause the formation of the habit of lodging the police"
 The following letter received by Capt. Martin today from a lady of Ju' neau who has lived here long sets forth at length the case of those who desire a more strict enforcement of the "curfew" ordinance:
 q am writing you regarding the eur few ordinance. I did not wont to take 1t up with the moyor and coun- cil, as I know it is your duty, and your men. But knowing and understanding that Juneau's population has increased almost double and your duties cores pondingly more than double, that your men have not observed the ordinance as close as they possibly would oth- erwise. hear the bell every night at g o'clock. but you can find children from years to 15 years old running on the street at 10 to Il o'clock stand ing in front of the different saloons and especially the skating rink, and the language they use is worse of the choicest. suppose you may think it none of my business. Possibly it is not. as have no children, but have lived a long time in Juneau and think a lot of our town and know that you do. And I hate to hear new com CTS talking about the way children are let run around at night. and if the par ents can't look after them the city ought to drive them of the street.
 Now Capt. Martin, hope you will look at this in the right light, and feel that I have not written this to interfere with your business.
 There is widow here who has 3 boys-and they are no worse than other boys. They have always mind ed her, but they find other boys play ing on the street, and beg to go out to play. She lets them go and when it gets time for them to go to bed, she has to quit her work to look for them. She has to sew for a living and it really works a hardship on her. She does not want to complain for she feels that people may say she is poor mother that can't make her children mind. I told her would talk to you further, and that you would enforce the ordinance. You will, won't you? I thank you in advance for know you will give this your atten- tion."
