Indian Village on the Island Reported to Douglas Council
 as Bad Spot.
HooTCH MAKES TROUBLE
Mayor O'COnnOr Promises That Steps Will Be Taken to Purify
 the Conditions.

DOUGLAS, Dec. l2.-"Please go
 way and let me sleep
 1T conditions in Indian town on
 the beach in Douglas are half as bad as represented by a committee Of
 four residents of that part of the
 city who appeared before the city council last night. there is something radically wrong somewhere. The complaint was that a gang of poor white trash" Mexicans and half breeds roam around Indian town practically all night and every night that they drink and carouse. that decently disposed Indian matrons and maids cannot step outside their homes without being insulted and that respectable people in the neigh borhood are deprived Of enjoying the only thing that has not advanced
 in price lately, wooing Natures sweet restorer. balmy sleep.
 In fact, one member of the dele. gation. a woman. informed the coun- ell that during her residence Of three months on the beach she had not enjoyed single night of undis- turbed repose. The committee fur ther claimed that sentinels herald the approach of City Marshal Shafer, when he visits that section and that while he remains. everything there is quiet and peaceful to such an ex- tent as to revive recollections Of Gray's elegy in a country church. yard.
 The committe further alleged that the Federal authorities are not doing their duty in not ferreting out the purveyors of that which made Ken. lucky famous, claiming that nearly all the misconduct complained of comes from the illicit sale and con- sumption of liquor; that the lawless element in Indian town has become so bold that an Indian employed at the Treadwell mines had returned to his home only few days ago to find that his wife had been kid mapped and several hours search was required to locate her. When found she was locked in cabin belonging to a member of the gang.
 In support of their request that some action be taken by the coun- ell to regulate the evils existing on the beach. the committee presented a petition numerously signed and calling for municipal protection. But the fact that the petition was signed l by one man in particular whom the wharf records show to have received 25O gallons of booze recently. some what weakened the effect it would | otherwise have had, the party in | question not being licensed to sell | However, Mayor O'Con- nor promised the committee that the council will take such steps as will tend to purify the social atmosphere | on the beach.
 In support of the mayors promise to the committee. Councilman Stub bins introduced an ordinance making it misdemeanor for any person to be found loitering on the streets of Douglas after II o'clock at night. the ordinance being similar to one ! now in effect at Juneau. It was read twice and will come up for fi- nal passage at the next regular meet ing of the council. In case of it's a fine of $1OO or twenty-five days in jail, or both at the discre- ton of the city magistrate, is pro yided for
 Bills amounting to $l95.55 were ordered paid.

Crop Conditions.
XOB
May 8.

Wheat prospects are now estl-
mated at 65 per cent, compared
with an average, a decline of l
per cent since the report issued
by this department, April l. The
past month with it's excessive
cold rains has been most severe
on the wheat plant. Correspon-
dents generally note its unprCm-
ising condition and in many Sc
tions Of the state a large percen-
tage of the original area Needed
will be or has been ploWed up
and put to other crops. The
northwest section seems to have
suffered the most, the present
condition being but 48 per cent
of an average. The damage re-
ported by Hessian fly and other
insects is of little consequence.
AS the original seeded was below
good average, and deducting
from this the area that will be
ploWed up, Ohio's wheat harvest
this year will necessarily be far
belov a full average crop.
The unfavorable weather of the
past month has seriously retard-
ed farm work and spring crops
will go in late.
The township assessors re-
ports show that last year the
oats area was 1,384,831 acres.
The correspondents estimate that
the area seeded to oats this yeal
! compared with last is 95 per cent
or /, 800, O38 acres. These figures
are probably low, as no doubt
