 As the opening day Of the fair approaches. interest in the voting contest for the most popular young lady on the Channel is increasing with only three entrees thus far made for honors. The votes thus far casts indicate the close compe- tition which is being maintained. Miss Virginia Laughlin heads the list with 24O votes: Miss Mildred Macleod. who is still in St. Ann's hospital recovering from the effects of an operation for appendicitis.
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-11-14

follows second with 22S; Miss Ma mic Hahn is third with only three votes less than Miss Macleod.
 Never in the history of Catholic fairs in Douglas according to those who have witnessed exhibits of other years, has there been such a varied assortment or such a splen- did display of fancy work as will be offered to the public this year. Not only have the Catholic ladies been striving to make this a success, but contributions from outside friends and hand work by the children of the parochial school have also been added
 Elegant bed room sets which in- clude from two to seven articles, handsomely embroidered in uniform design; buffet sets, guest towels, center pieces, large and small; lun- cheon sets, doilies, table runners, tea cosies, dresser scarfs, pin cush- ions, fancy coat hangers. embrod- cred collars, dainty kimonas and dressing jackets, hand made crepe de chine waists, beautifully finish ed, are a few of the large number of dainty and useful articles which will be offered for sale at prices sufficiently reasonable to justify the average person in buying gifts for Christmas and other occasion.
 Bags of every size and material. ranging from the smallest tatting bag to the shoe or laundry bag: aprons, from the dainty sewing apron to the cover-all work apron: embroidery, tatting, chocheting, Hardanger. darning. knitting. even to the patchwork couch cover-all will be there when the bazaar opens Thursday. Several beautiful articles. the embroidery and tattlng complet- ed by the little girls of the Catholic school are unusually well-done.
 In addition to the main fancy work booth. 1t has been found necessary to conduct an infants de- pertinent, where dainty dresses, bon nets, carriage robes. booties, coats, | pillows, and many other articles for the juvenile will be sold.

FERRY COMPANY IS COMPLAINANT IN A
 SUIT FOR DAMAGES

The Juneau Ferry & Navigation Company late yesterday afternoon filed suit in the District Court against the Island Ferry Company, a co-partnership consisting of R. B. Cochrane. c. p. Morgan. H. Johan. sen, NJ. J. O'Connor and Albin Bari. tello. asking for S1,5OO damages for being prevented from ucing one of their boats and from landing at the float at the Douglas City Dock from November, 1915 until the present time
 The complaint sets forth that the Island Ferry Company brought suit last November against the Juneau Ferry Company and secured an in- junction against the latter company preventing them making landings at the Douglas dock float and that since that time they have been unable to land there and were forced to lay off one Of their boats. The complaint sets forth that the Circuit Court of Appeals has found that the injunc- ton should never have been issued and they ask damages under the bond filed by the Island Ferry Com pany in the former suit to protect the Juneau Ferry Company against damages.

TAX MATTERS STILL BOTHER
 ISLAND CITY
Douglas Council Perhaps VIII Bring Suit for Taxes Against the
 Light Company

DOUGLAS, Nov. 14.-The matter Of the contention by the Douglas city council that the Alaska Elec- trlc Light & Power Company of Juneau. but operating in Douglas, should pay tax in the latter place was generally discussed at Q meet ing of the council last night when Senator" c. l.. Jones who has been active in the interests of the city, appeared and stated that he has thus far been unable to get action through the office of the district at torney in the way of instituting suit against the corporation mentioned for the purpose of collecting the tax claimed by the city to be due.
 Mir. Jones stated that he had been promised quite recently that suit would be filed before the court left Juneau for Ketchikan but that nothing had been done. After con siderable discussion the council ar rived at the conclusion that suit must be brought. If the tax remains unpaid, and that. if not brought by the district attorney, the city will employ an attorney to represent its interests and institute proceedings.
 The ely treasurer reported at the meeting that about 60 per cent. of the taxes due the city had been paid but that there had been ces- sation of payment during the past week, owing to the extension of time to December l. to which date they may be paid without penalty attaching. However. it was made clear at the meeting that 15 per cent will be added to all taxes not paid on the last day of the pres ! ent month.
 Bills amounting to SS99.7O were ordered paid. All members of the ! council were present except Jen- sen and Reidi, the latter being in the East on a visit.

 Day begins for the esparto picker in the moonlight of early morning. In the chill of the desert morning, the picker leaves his nearby snack for the field, and begins his rapid task of sbreaking the longest wiry blades, leg high, from the most matured dumps. And in the heart of these clumps, ever and again, turks his danger in the form of his arch enemy, the deadly vii per. Tn the clumps, also, are hidden the venemous North African rock scorpions, whose stings now and again prove fatal. It is the poisonous vipers however, that make the work of es- parto picking a sporting game with death.

Strange as 1t may seem, many partially paralyzed divers are able to continue their calling, and the unfitted, helpless cripple in the upper air feels normal circulation re- turn to arms and legs when lowered into the sea on the sponge grounds. And the Arab divers of Tripoli, be- lieving the disease indispensable to the vocation, and inured to hazard in their particular fatherland, dive phlegmatically through a few fat sea- sons until crippled or killed by their chosen trade.

"Blue Laws"
Washington Post

In the course of his Western trip President Wilson violated the law of one of the States by giving a messen- ger boy ~1O-cent tip. It is hardly probable that the officials charged with the enforcement of the law would have been so discourteous as to direct the presidents attention to it's infraction, even though the matter had been brought officially to their attention.
 The antitipping law is a modern in vasion, which is merely revival of the old ,"bfue laws" passed in many States more than century ago and which are seldom enforced. Lately a number of the States have been con- sidering bills to regulate the length of skirts, the size of hatpins and other matters previously left to individual discretion.
 When laws cannot be enforced, be- cause public opinion is against them, they should be removed from the statute books. Recently in Maryland a number of amen dments to the an tiotated blue laws" were introduced by one of the delegates, who had previously made a, similar effort and failed. The Maryland "blue laws" were passed more than a century ago, and few efforts have been made to repeal them. The reason why the public paid little attention to the eff forts to repeal the laws was because the country and city authorities made l the laws a dead letter. Small groups
 lately have sought to have the laws l enforced. and whether: these efforts f were made in good faith or not prob | better 1,o
 to bring bout the repeal
 So long; as laws are on the statute i books they should be enforced even | though they are of silly and frivol- I ous character. If enforcement Is l tried. it will not be long until foolish l laws are repealed.
