The Return OF the Southern Flags.

When 1t was first proposed to return
to the southern states the Confederate
flags which had been captured in the
battles of the civil war the proposition
met with storm Of protest. In 1908 the
flags were returned, Massachusetts be-
ing the first to act, though it had been
loudest In denunciation when the pro-
posal was advocated by Sumner.
In the following year the command
er In chief Of the G. A. R.. James Tan
ner, asked in his Memorial day order
that the graves of the soldiers of both
armies should be decorated without
discrimination, saying, THE old flag
has been rebaptized since 1865 with
the blood of the north and the south
alike, and the ship Of state Is securely
anchored for all time"

WRANGFLL AND
 PETERSBURG TO
 GO DRY, BELIEF

Both wrangell and Petersburg will have a second election September 14 to determine whether they want sa- looms. But only those people who did not vote at the election on May 24 will be allowed to express themselves at the second election. according to ad- vices received today from KetchilSan.
 Judge Robert W. Jennings conduct ed hearings at Petersburg Monday, and at Wrangen Tuesday. and tomor- row win pass on the liquor license question at Ketchikan, where he is holding court.
 It is believed here that both Wran- gen and Petersburg will so dry. This belief is based on the fact that the vote cast May 24 was very close, and that the majority of those who did not so to the polls were supporters Of tho dry cause.

RATE lNAUGURATED
 BY TERRY co.

A permanent 15-cent passenger rate between Juneau and an channel points. effective Saturday morning, today was decided on by the Juneau Ferry & Navigation Company and an- nouncement to this effect was made by J. F. Corbus. treasurer of tho company. The company also VIII start work immediately on the con- sruction Of waiting room on the ferry approach. and win equip the ferry Alma" with steel gangways, for the purpose of insuring safety to pas sengers.
 Safety First" win become the slo- gan of Che Juneau Ferry & Naviga- ton company and according to the plans of Manager Edward J. Mar grie every effort win be put forth to improve tho service from time to lime. The present ferry schedule will continue in force untn winter when new schedule will be inaugurated, it is planned.
 Low Electric Rate for Cooking
 Possible.
 If the plans of the Alaska Electric Light & Power Company material lze. low rate for electric cooking will be established sometime in the near future. The light company is allied with the ferry company and during his visit here Mir. Corbus. in- terested in both concerns. has inyes- tigated the feasibility of making @ flat low rate for electricity when used for cooking and heating purpos- es. "Our plans are not yet fully ma tured in this direction" he said this morning "but we hope to carry them out before long A low rate for elec- tricity used for cooking and heating would not only help the public; 1t would help us to improve our service and sell the overload of current that our new equipment at the power plant provides"
 Rate Reduction VIII Be Permanent
 The reduced rate on the ferry is a permanent move. Mir. Corbus said. We have been in the ferry business here for the past thirty years" Mir. Corbus continued. land I feel that we have given Gastineau channel as good a service as the business warranted. When Juneau began to grow fast three years ago we realized that we must havo new and faster boats. and in our ferry Alma think that we have as good a ferry as you will find anywhere. She is fast, and safe. and hope the people of the channel will continue to support our efforts to give you better service. and greater efficiency in all departments. We have had the plans drawn for the new waiting room. and work will commence immediately on It's con- struction."
 Sell commuters Tickets.
 Commuadon tickets at the rate of two for twenty-five cents have been placed on sale at the Ferry companys office. in Third street.
 Mr. Corbus at one time was super intendent of the Alaska a-Treadwel gold mines He resides in Los Ga- tos. Calif.. and has been spending sev- eral days here. in company with Mrs Corbus and Miss Mary Corbus. They will leave Juneau tomorrow morning on the steamship Princess Alice, on their return home.
