Douglas Island news., 1916-05-17

The showing made by the public school at the commencement exercises here last week was equal to that of many larger and more pretentious cities, reflecting great credit on Che pupils, the teachers and school board. Now that the school of Douglas is on the accredited list of the University of Washington, Seattle, the leading edu cational institution ofthe Pacific coast there is greal iuducement for boys and girls to complete the high school course at this school.

The man who is nominated as candi- date for delegate to congress at the Democratic convention to be held m Juneau on the 24th of the present month must commit himself on the question of the much needed bridge over the channel at Juneau. Otherwise he will not be in position to resort to that time-stained campaign utterance, "Of the people, by the people and for the people"

PENSACOLA WAS A
CITY OF DARKNESS

Pensacola, Wednesday night was
like London fearing Zeppelin raid,
for not light was visible and the en-
tire city was enveloped in total dark
ness, only vivid flashes of lightning
made objects perceptible for an in
slant, and lost in blacker darkness
the next.
Every street lamp in the central
part of town was out and only in the
restaurants were there gas lights.
Walking was indeed dangerous, as at
many points trees were thrown down
across the street, and they could not
be seen.
Practically the only public building
open was the San Carlos Hotel, and
many gathered there to find what
comfort numbers could give. L.
and candles Illuminated the dark
ness.

MUSCOGEE WHARF
SLIGHTLY DAMAGED

Muscogee wharf was not as badly
damaged by the force of the storm of
Wednesday as had been supposed. The
south end of the L. & N. coal dock
was torn away, but the dock itself
was not impaired, and it is possible
to furnish coal to all vessels. There
were no vessels tied up at Muscogee
wharf, but just to the eastward a
large number of small craft, TIM
and wreckage is piled up, and it ap-
peared, Thursday, that some parts 3of
the wreckage was the remnant of one
or two small boats, as painted boards
were discovered in the lot.
Like Muscogee wharf, the other two
exporting docks of the L. & N. at
Tarragona and Commandments streets
were slightly damaged. Several small
craft were wrecked on the east side
Tarragona and on the west side
of Commandments wharf, the smack
Enos, which broke away from Pala-
fox wharf, is lying precariously or
her side, on the rocks near the office
of the Gulf Transit Company.

BRIDGE OVER BAYOU
is BADLY DAMAGED

The Little Bayou bridge has been
badly damaged according to the latest
reports, and the western approach has
been lowered four feet, the trestle top
is broken and washed away; much
work will have to be done before the
bridge is ready for traffic.
General Superintendent j. G. Holtz-
claw of the Electric Company, stated
that the city tracks have been cleared
of trees and poles and wires, but that
great damage was suffered on the
bayshore line. The Big Bayou trestle
was washed out completely, the ties,
tracks and superstructures being
washed into the bayou. The damage
has NOT been estimated.
Beyond the Big Bayou a mile of
track was lost, and one of the big
cars caught on the bayshore division
was wrecked and appears a total loss.
The other two big cars were practi-
cally uninjured.
Many worknen were placed on the
work of repairing the damages as
soon as the storm had abated, and ev-
cry effort is being made to resume
operation as soon as possible.

STRANGE BARGE
ASHORE IN SOUND

A small barge, supposed to be from
Camp Walton, was found high on the
land near Town Point, by Captain
Riera of the Quarantine Boat, Gene
We've, when he made a record trip
from the station to Pensacola in the
gale that was blowing. The name of
the barge could not be ascertained,
and although an attempt was made to
take what passengers were aboard
off, no response could be had to the
repeated signalling.
The barge was thrown high on the
beach and in the pine trees, and it 1s
thought likely that any passengers
who were aboard took refuge at the
Duncan place, which is near the point
on the mainland.

DON'T ARGUE IF

Passing the buck is all right, hEt
when it takes the form of a beer
bottle-well, there are limits, as
a lot of stitches in one gentleman's
head shows.
No, there wasn't any trouble at
all. Merely a friendly sort of an
argument in Service Club, on the
war or Mexico or cats.
One gentleman in the heat of
argument saw fit to reinforce his
logic by a reference to the material
ancestry of his opponent, who inn
mediately resorted to the argu-
mentum ad hominem.
Just as he was getting ready to
hand that guy something and had
his arm all drawn back ready to
shoot it," said a bystander, "some
gink bounces in from the back
room and hung that beer bottle on
his bean. He went down all over

STEAMERS STACK
SWAN

When the steam tug Florence, after
its fight late Wednesday afternoon,
finally went over on her side, it was
found at daylight, that her stack had
penetrated the badly wrecked upper
works of the steamer Swan,
which had just overturned and drift
ed into the slip. When the Swan went
over, after pounding away on the
sharp nose of the steamer Okaloosa,
the well-known freight and pleasure
boat, drifted around and rested
against the steamer Florence. The lat
ter started her wheel to going, and at
tempted to shove the Swan out of the
way. In this the steamer was unsuc-
cessful, and after working energetic
ally away, the Swan appeared to
shove the tug over and it was neces-
sary for the men aboard to get off
as quickly as possible, to save them
selves.
The Okaloosa, which was reported
sunk, did not go down, nor did she
suffer any considerable damage

NUMBER OF CRAFT
PILED UP, ALL IN
A BAD CONDITION

One sight which attracted consid-
cradle attention on the part of hun
dreds of people along the water
front during the day, Thursday, was
the mass of piled up craft on Bay
len wharf, where two fishing smacks,
one large launch, one government boat
and a number of smaller craft were
wrecked. The smacks Jacaes NJ. Keen
and Alcina, of the Saunders fleet; the
government survey and engineering
boat Santa Rosa, and the large launch
Helmar are piled up in little cramp-
ed space, and all are badly damaged
with the possible exception of the
Santa Rosa, which is high and dry on
the sand on Baylen wharf.
Just few yards away is another
lot of vessels which show the effects
of the storm. The Seaconnet, Kwas-
ind, Lottie S. Haskins and the Sea
En-, are all moored in one spot, and
some are stove in at the bow, one
stove in at the stern; the Seaconnet
lost her jib boom; the John M. Keen
rests entirely out of the water on a
sand spit, and is said to have been
but slightly damaged, but the Alcina
did not, it seems, get off so luckily.
The Santa Rosa, although Gear Of the
water, is said to have been damaged
slightly.

TWO FISHING CRAFT
REST ON BOTTOM

Two fishing smacks, the Angelina
of the Saunders & Company, and the
Osceola of the Warren Company, were
both resting on bottom in more than
eighteen feet Of water yesterday, only
the spars sticking from the water,
indicating their presence. The Ange-
lima was moored at the west side of
Palafox street wharf, sinking at her
berth, while the Osceola, moored at
the east side of Baylen street wharf,
also sank ut Ter berth.
No efforts were made yesterday to
raise the smacks, but this will be
attended to as soon as other pressing
work is looked after. It is expected
that both smacks are badly damaged.
