great need for the establishment Of a

but dangerous A day nursery in

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

Henry Van Dyke says, that if Chris
tmas is to be a single day of gener-
osity, ransomed from the dull servi-
tude of selfish year, it seems not
much more durable than the little
toys one buys of a faker on the street
corner. If, however, every gift is a
token of personal thought, friendly
feeling and unselfsh interest in the
JOY of others, then the thought, the
feeling and the interest may remain
after the gift is made.
Just so the little gifts in the Ander-
son-Fowler Drug Store were selected,
to express the personal thought and
interest of the sender.
Your gift is waiting for you.

This has forced the local men to work under a great handicap as the outside scale of wages is not as high as the wages paid in Alas ka.

WATER CARNIVAL
 AT 4. B. TONIGHT


 Many of those using the A. B. tank last night and also many of the spec tators. were slightly worried for time when they noticed Dr. Wm. Pallister throwing something resembling brown sugar In the tank and immediately wld stories. of Infection began to cir culate. The stuff thrown into the tank was cuprIc sulphate solution, which is the greatest germicide known to medical science. and 1t is used to purify the water.
 When leen today Dr. Pallister was very emphatic in his statements that the solution is absolutely harmless to everything except disease germs of all kinds. When some of the solu- ton meets with one of the little wiggly germs, the germ loses the bout and immediately curls up its toea and dies. The solution is slightly bene- ficial to the eyes. If any gets into them and is harmless otherwise If small quantities are used. The solution will be introduced into the water cv- cry time the tank is refilled and will Insure those using the swimming pool absolutely against any chance of in- lection from disease germs in the water.
 The tank still continues to be pop uIar with the public. but will be clos ed tomorrow night for a few days for necessary finishing touches around the building. When 1t is reopened 1t will be for the members of the Arctic Brotherhood and the members of their families only. The outer door will be locked and keys will be dis tributed among the members.
 Tonight the general public will be admitted at a charge of twenty-five cents each. with the privilege of swimming if they desire. or watching the water carnival. or both. The swim ming will last until ten o'clock. at which time the tank will be cleared and the water carnival VIII start. The arrangement of the carnival has been very imprompfu but many good swim mers have entered the different events and 1t promises to be very in- teresting all of the time Some fancy diving. by both women and men for distance and form will be done, as we'll as fast distance swimming

FOUR MEN FIGHT
AND KILL A SHARK

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1e-Measur-
ing eight feet in length and weighing
It's pounds, a shark invaded the oyster
beds in the upper reaches of the bay
the other day. and after fighting four
men for nearly an hour was killed with
pitchforks.
The shark was first noticed by Henry
L. McKnew, head of the oyster COM
peny. and his foreman. Emil Peterson,
When II chased stingaree over an
oyster bed fence.
BY the TING the shark cornered and
ate the stingaree the tide had reached
so far that the big fish was unable to
gain open water. McKnew. Peterson.
and two other fishermen closed in on
the shark. but the latter showed fight.
and chased the quartet to high-water
mark. McKnew narrowly missed being
bitten by the monster.
When the tide, went out still farther
the shark had little or no seaway, and
the men killed II with pitchforks.
Rather. they so thought, for later in
the day. when they tethered II to a
scow, the shark came 70 life and for
a second time nearly departed with a
human leg.
McKnew, who has been an oyster
man for thirty years, says the dead
shark IL the largest caught in that
section of the bay since he had been in
business.
