TO BUY NEW SHIP
 FOR GEORGIA RUN

The Juneau Steahship company will immediately take steps to secure a larger and better boat to take the place of the Georgia on the Juneau-Sitka and Juneau-Skagway runs. This Is the positive announcement of Willis k. Novel;, president of the company, fol- lowing the further announcement, that the Juneau Steamship company had been awarded the contract for carry ing the mail on both the Juneau-Sitka, and Juneau-Skagway mail routes. The new contract goes into effect July 1, 1914 and runs until June 30, 1918.
 President Nowell of the steamship company will leave for Seattle shortly in the interest of securing a suitable ship to replace the Georgia. "We have been contemplating this action for some time," said Mir. Novel;" and now that the contract has been award. us it is even more urgent that we make the change as soon as possi- ble. The Georgia is a good boat and has had a remarkably successful ca reer but the traffic has grown beyond her cavacity. In making provision !or Jhe new heat the company is but mak- ing an effort to respond to the demand of the times and to give the public the very best service that can be had and thus assist in maintaining the friendly relations and reciprocal spirit that has always been manifested"

oRPHEUM THEATRE.

Those who failed to see the show at the Orpheum last night missed Q treat as it was one of the best shown for some time. The Pathe Weekly was as usual interesting.
 "Final Justice, with all the clever players of the vitagraph Company, could not help but be good.
 "The Ministers Temptation" with Mary Fuller, Augusta Phillips, and Robert Brewer in the leading parts held the audience with interest. Es- pecially was this the case in the hos pital scene and where the minister makes his confession to his congrega- tion which brought him final happi- ness.
 The show closed with a laughable comedy portraying a corner in crooks. The performance will be repeated to- night.
 Special two-reel Indian feature on Tuesday and Wednesday.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY WALKER MUST RESIGN AT ONCE
GILL NAMES GRIFFlTHS
 FOR POLICE CHIEF

SEATTLE, March 16.-Mayor Hiram IC. Gill, who took the oath of office at noon today and assumed the duties of his office, appointed Austin E. Grif- flths, former councilman and one of the leading candidate for Mayor be- fore the recent primaries, to be chief of police. Grifiths received the min isterial endorsement for Mayor before the primary election, and received the support of the majority of the Protes- tant clergy of the city for that office After the primary, he made one state ment, condemning Gill and "Gillism" and saying that he would take no fur ther part in the Mayorality fight, but would devote his attention to assist ing in the election of clean men to the charter commission and to the work before that commission. The appoint ment of Mir. Griffiths caused surprise to those who had not heard that 1t was contemplated. It is taken to mean that Mayor Gill proposes to make good his promise to give Seattle clean administration.
 GriRths has affiliated with the Pro gressives in politics. He is single taxer and political reformer, who has given a great deal of attention to mu- nicipal affairs. He has opposed Gnl in all the campaigns that the lat ter has made for Mayor. He has been opposed to the methods of the so' called purity squad" as being inquisi- torial and not in harmony with person al liberty, but he supported Mayor Cot terin in the street riots case last sum- mer when soldiers and sailors of the army and navy raided Socialist head quarters and attacked street speakers.

 ANNOUNCE PLATFORM

The candidates for councilman or the Citizens ticket have adopted c platform in which they set forth their views on municipal affairs and outline policy that they will pursue in the event of their election,
 The platform follows:
 The undersigned candidates for cleo ton as councllmen have permanent in terests in the City of Juneau, and have become candidates with the de sire only carefully to guard and pro mote the welfare of the municipality. Our first aim will be to consider well the expenditure of the city's revenue and see that each dollar is wisely spent where it will do the most good to the community, to the end that the city's finances will be permanently placed upon a cash basis.
 Among the city's needs, to be met as its revenues will permit, are:
 CD The extension of the sewerage system to deep water and better dis position of garbage;
 CD A careful consideration of fire protection. and the improvement of the system, including the installation of salt water mains and a quicker meth cd of getting the apparatus to fires; (3) The construction of a roadway f.om near the Pacific Coast dock across the tide flats to connect with the gov ernment road to Salmon creek, and also of waterfront street from the Pacific Coast dock towards the city dock. This work, and more particu- larly the aforementioned part of it, should be done by the city in co-opera- ton with the interests that are to be benefited;
 (4) The improvement of streets by substituting permanent for temporary construction where most needed;
 C5) A better anchorage for the mosquito" fleet, in which undertak- ing We shall ask the cooperation of the Commercial Club and business men generally;
 co The formation of plan for the construction of a modern and adequate school building. to be carried out by our successors in office when the reye- nues of the city permit.
 CD We promise internationally to sell the best coal we can obtain at cost.
 We shall apply our best judgment to emergencies that may arise which we can not now foresee. and shall be responsive to advice and counsel of our fellow-citizens. Having stated our plans. we shall refrain from criticism of other candidates, as we deem such methods of campaign inconsistent with an honest purpose.
