HOLIDAY FIRES.

Each year, at the holiday season,
many fires occur starting from Christmas
trees and decorations. Homes, churches,
stores and store-rooms, where church
bazaars are held, are in great danger OF
fire on account of the decorations used,
most of which are of a highly inham-
mable nature, and the slightest careless
ness in the arrangement of such decorating
may result in disastrous fire.
Metallic tinsel and other non-in-
f1ammable decorations are suggested in
place of celluloid, paper or cotton.
Cotton is used to represent snow. As
bestos fibre would give the same effect
and would be safe.
Christmas trees should be illuminated
by electric lights if possible, especially at
any public gatherings. If candles are
used for lighting tree in the home,
children should not be permitted to
light the tree or should not be left alone
with it. The tree should be removed
soon after the holidays, as the longer. it
remains inside, the greater the danger,
as it becomes dryer and more inhamm-
able.

THANE DOCK
 10 REBUILD

General Manager B L. Ihare 'n9i night estimated Che loss oi the dock facing at sheep Creek to bo some wherd between three and five thous' and dollafa The work oi clearing ont the wrcckase was started immed lately after the accident and consifuc- tion o0 Q new iacing for lhe dock was begun today The line of Che dock win be changed to conform with the new contour of Che land-bosc which is about 20 feet narrower than before. The whole docking al rhanc is con- lsimcled on @ ledge which dropped on almost perpendicuiariy into very deep wotcr it win be impossible to drive lpiies within about % feet of the old foceine
 An order was placed ln Seattle for crcosoted piiius several weeks ago. as it has beon Che compauy's intention to repair the dock A cable was sent immediately after the accident l yesterday to have lhis piling rushed to Juneau and lt is now on ihc way ! Preliminary work will be started as soon as tho debris Is entirely cleared away and tho work or driving tue piles for the new face will begin im- mediately upon the arrival Of tho ma terials. The driving will be done by the company and not by outside com tract
 Except for the dock itself the loss of the company was not large. SeY- erai persons sustained smai! losses, among them being Sam Bolin and Wal ] ter Waite, who lost gas boat engine which was lying on the dock. and J. Foley who lost 9 bicycle which was in the Meyers garage.
 An automobile belonging to w. mey- CTS had been taken out of the garage shortly before the slide occurred.
 storm was king yesterday all up and down the channel and the rain the various towns have been wanting was granted them with vengeance. ! Several small boats were hurried in- to port and the ferry "Alma" was forced io miss one of her regular trips during the day because she could not dock at the face of the wharf at low tide
 The government forest boats Ram ger 9 and Ranger 8. and the fisheries patrol boat Tahn. are tied up here lawaiting change to so to Petersburg. and a number of other small craft arc tied up in the harbor waiting for the storm to sobslde
 Perhaps the Alaska Gastineau com pany sustained more damage than any other interest as the result of the storm. The big mil at Thane was forced to stop work for several hours when the high tension wire crossing Father Browns irau was dragged down by failing tree and their dock on Che beach was partly wiped out by cave-in which tore the piling loose.
 A small section of the old Union wharf collapsed. carry with it consid- erabie scrap iron. XXX

NATIVES LOSES sis76
 lN TIMBER ON TRACT


 Through a decision of the Secretary of the Interior, notice of which has just reached the local land office two natives. Charlie George and Albert Mnls of Excursion Inlet have been denied the sum of SiS76 which they clam was due ihem for timber taken rom their tract of land
 ln 1909 the two natives filed appli. cations for aliotiments Of land on the east side of Excursion Inlet. These applications were subsequently, al- lowed by the Secretary of tho Inter- for.
 In 1912 Robert Forbes made appli- cation in the ioca land office for per. mission io cu, timber in the vicinity of the land covered by the allotment granted Co the Indians This permis- sion was granted but when the set clement for the timber cut was made it was discovered that a portion ol the timber was located upon the land claimed by the natives Mr. Forbes, however deposited with Receiver Boyle the stumpage value of the tim Der, which amounted to Sl376 and the natives immediately applied to have this money paid to them as the owners of the land
 This application was forwarded to the Commissioner of the general land office who held that under the Indian Allotment Act the title to the land remained in the Government and that the natives did not have the right to sell ihe timber on the land. The mat ter was then appealed through the n- dians' attorney z. R. Cheney, to the Secretary Of the Interior who affirmed the views of the Commissioner and instructed Che Receiver of the local office to deposit the moneys in the Treasury oi the United States.
 The Secretary in his decision held that the Indians had an equitable right lo the timber but Chat under the law as il exists there was no legal right He stated that an effort would be made io have Congress reimburse them Cor the timber cut
