PLAYGROUND FOR
 CITY YOUNGSTERS

At last the children of Juneau are to be provided with a playground. The school board has decided to act on the suggestion of Superintendent Henderson. made in his recent annual report. and will soon start work on the grounds surrounding the grade school building with the idea of put ting the field in shape for a play ground for the school children. The large sand pile which was placed there two years ago will be leveled down and distributed over the entire lot. which will be graded Go one level. A concrete bulkhead will be construct ed to retain the excavated bank at the rear of the lot and means of se- curing drainage win be provided.
 Owing to the probability that next year will probably be the last of the life of the present school building. the Board proposes to install only such playground apparatus as can be obtained at very moderate cost. and for the present the equipment will probably be confined to swings teeter boards and the less expensive good time apparatus. If nothing more than ievelling the field were accomplished this year very decided step would be taken in advance in the right di- rection. Juneau parents have long de plored the fact that there is almost no place where their children may play under safe and healthy condi- tions. The play ground at the school

GRAND JURY
 ASKS ACTION

The grand iury's report Go Judge Robert w. Jennings is signed by Fore man Elmer D. Smith In its entirety, ] it is as follows:
 We the grand jury summoned to at- tend this special June session of the special February term, 1915, of the above entitled court have completed our labors and performed an duties required of as to be performed and concluded an business brought before us beg leave to report as follows:
 We have been in session four days and have acted on fifteen matters twelve of which have been bind.overs, and have found six true bills and not true bills we have examined Al wit nesses and have used two interpreters on four cases
 The grand jury wishes to call at attention of the proper officers for im- mediate action the practice of certain persons dumping or permitting to be dumped slabs, old lumber. rubbish and matter dangerous to navigation, par ticularly to small boats including the ferries plying between the channel towns, in the waters of Gastineau channel; also the matter of dumping sawdust and matter dangerous to fish life in said waters. contrary to both federal and territorial law. These mat. ters should receive immediate atten- ton not only for the safety of water craft and fisheries but also for the safety of human life.
 The grand jury also calls attention to the practice of certain persons en- gazing in shooting firearms along the public highways and in the neighbor- hood thereof. This practice is one of criminal carelessness and disregard of the safety of our citizens. and may re. suit in wounding or killing innocent people who may be lawfully engaged along and in the ueighborhood of the highways. and now that the outing and berry season is upon us this danger is more pronounced, and the practice should be abated as a public nuisance.
 The grand jury also calls attention 10 the condition of the court house and recommends that same be clean ed up and painted, and the court room thoroughly renovated cleaned and redecorated. and that some sys tenn of proper ventilation be installed therein. The sewage system should also be inspected and kept in proper sanitary repair The condition of the plactering throughout the entire building is deplorable and we recom- mend that the same be replastered. We have examined the condition of the vault in the clerks office and find it very much congested, and recom- mend that a new fire proof vault be constructed at once for the storage of the clerks records and documents.
 We have examined the condition of the jail and recommend that the walls of the jail be replastered. We find the jail in a sanitary and clean condition. We find the condition of the prisoners good and that they are receiving prop CT care: we find that they are receiy- ing sufficient clean and wholesome food.

Cotton Going Up.
summer.

Our staid, conservative contempo-
Diary, the Charlotte Observer, is fee.
ing very much encouraged over the
cotton situation and has visions of fif-
teen cents for spots. In its sisue OF
last Sunday it gives its views as fo:-
lows:
The Observer is inclined to the no
ton that King Cotton has taken out a
ticket for through trip to Station No.
10, which would mean where cotton is
selling at Il cents; but, of course, ne
will be subject to side-tracking delays.
This opinion is strengthened by the
improved outlook for export trade.
european supplies have fallen quite
low and an early replenishing will be
required. A cotton authority, a mem
Der of the exchange tells Financla:
America that he does not look for an
active market for the next so days, Or
until after the government ginning re
port on Wednesday and the estimate
of the production on Friday of next
week are out of the way. In the mean
time, he adds, so-called day-to-day
market can be expected, with prices
influenced by factors as they arise.
This member stated he was of the
opinion that 100000 bales, the lowest
reported figures of the National Gin
ners' association, were about right. He
pointed out that sucn total woulJ
show approximately 5000 bales turn
ed out during the last two weeks, as
against 100000 bales in the same Pc
riod last year and would indicate a
crop of something around 100000.
What is the most important cotton fac
tor, just now, according to this inter-
est, however, is the good spot demand
in the South and the excellent inquiry
for spots in Liverpool and Manchester.
He stated that the spot sales in Liver
pool from day to day show large
amounts changing hands But what is
is the opinion expressed by
this authority that exports will be in
creased shortly. He believes that sup
plies in Europe must be running fair
ly low, especially when it is remem-
bered that only a small proportion of
this years crop nas been sent over,
and therefore the stocks will have to
be replenished 1t is altogether likely,
however, that a large part Of the cot
ton to be sent out has already been
purchased in this country and is prob
ably stored in the South. NeVerthe-
less, a sudden export movement of a
large amount of the staple would have
a sympathetic effect on prices here.

TAXES
TO BE CONTINUED
Leaders Prepare to Act Before Con.
greSS Takes It's Holiday
Recess.

Washington, Dec. 8.-After con-
ference With Secretary McAdoo, Chair
man Kitchin of the house ways and
means committee announced that the
Democrats would put in congress be-
fore the holiday recess bill to con-
tinue the emergency war revenue law
which would expire by limitation De-
cember 81. This is estimated to raise
more than $S0,000,000 annually. Mr.
Kitchin said repeal of the free sugar
clause of the Underwood tariff law
might be considered at the same time,
although it has been understood lha-
the administrations general revenue
measures might not be taken up until
after the holidays.
The emergency tax law probably will
be extended for a year. The legisla-
tion was suggested by Secretary Nc
Adoo as one of the things congress
should 90 to provide for present and
expected financial burdens.
There is no necessity for immediate
action to keep the duty on raw sugar,
as under the Underwood law sugar
does not go on the free list until mex.

Here is another paragrarher from
that State paragrapher of the same IS
sue which had the remark about the
stomacn-ache, but it is so good that
must quote it:
"a dog can't talk to tell you when
he wants anything. But he can GER
tainly cram a lot Of eloquence in Old
Colonel Tall
Yes, that's true, and did you ever
look into the eyes of faithful old
dog and see the intelligence tnat
beamed through them. had faithful
old dog once, and / can see now how
he could express his pleasure at my
return, when l had happened to be
away, through those beg speaking
eyes of his. And that tail, it would
express a whole lot more than some
of those speakers I have heard. And
then the beauty about the talk OF the
old tail and the intelligence and elo-
quent speech that came from the eyes
you knew it was true and sincere. A
good dog-man can have no better or
truer friend.
The gift season will soon be here,
and then it should be especially the
pleasure of every one in so far as he
is able, to give something to the poor
that should be his concern all the time
but while those in more favored cir
cumstances are enjoying the festive
occasion they should not forget the
poor. hope that the occasion will not
be celebrated by lot Of foolish shoot
ing of big cannon crackers and all
that sort of thing. There is no one
who enjoys more than I do the seeing
of the boys and girls have good time.
but l do like to see little reason in
it. Let's have a good time Ike white
