Treadwell q. Luneau 0

The football game at Treadwell on Thanksgiving was won by the Tread we'll team. It was a regular romp. The Juneau team were not their equals in any respect. After the first half the Treadwells took out a number of their best players to give Juneau a chance, but even then they failed to score.
 The game was witnessed by fair crowd, who cared nothing for weather conditions.
 Football is not only an exciting game, but it is a game for meu-strOng men with a good eye aud steady nerve, meu who are brave and absolutely indiGer ent to a bump or bruise. Itis good sport for Alaskaus, and the effort to give it encouragement is commendabIe. The success of the Treadwell team is due solely to practice and hard work.
 There has been organized in Douglas a "Chid's Welfare Club" which has for its mission the help and elevation of the children of the town. Free les sons in sewing, painting, etc., are given under Che direction the appointed guardian, Miss Ella Mallory, in the club rooms, City Hall building.

JOHN KEENAN, OF McGILL

mill. and his wife followed closely
behind. When Mrs. Keenan, reached
their home she found the door lock-

window, and found Keenan, lying in
a pool of blood.
Keenan, has been acting peculiarly
since he gave up his position at the
c~oncentrator about ten days ago.
He imagined the officers were after
him, according to testimony brought
out at the inquest, and that they
were on the outside of his window.

A MUNICIPAL PROBLEM.

Rumors of impending changes under the city
administration that will take office January /
include proposal that the water and sewer
departments shall be separated from the city
engineering department, and made responsible
directly to the board of supervisors.
This plan should be very carefully consid-
cred before being decided upon. As a general
rule efficiency can best be conserved by lessen
ing instead of increasing the number of separ-
ate city departments Arguments both for and
against distinct department for the water
works and sewerworks are heard, with nothing
conclusive in either.
This is matter to which the municipal aft
fairs committee Of the Chamber of Commerce
might give attention, in cooperation with the
supervisors. 1t is matter on which general
discussion may lead to clear course. In fact,
the whole subject of city engineering needs
consideration. Honolulu's engineering prob
lens have been admittedly worked out at cross
purposes. Now that all branches are under the
control of the city and county, the past should
not be repeated.
Here is one of the opportunities that faces
a new city administration. Will the admins
tration measure up to it,

This, we know for a fact, Is the
only one issue that has said anything

We feel that whoever he may be. has

taken the trouble to mention the truth

The Hawaiian Band is the only mu-

fact in the tour Of the said band

assured that Hawaii misses one of its
