As there is large cannery a few miles from Sum Dunn, York secures fish heads from it suf- ficient to feed his foxes at this sea- son of the year, but when the can nery is not operating he is kept busy fishing to secure food for his ami mals.
 On the way home and shortly after they left Sum Dunn, which is fifty miles distance from Douglas, the launch Eloise, in which Andrews and Helsing were travelling, broke down and they were forced to rig up a sail which brought them safely back, but, owing to lack of wind the trip was slow one.

SOMEWHAT SURPRISED

DOUGLAS, July 3-The announce ment in last nights Daily Empire that July IT had been fixed as the date for holding a local option in the First Division came as something of surprise to the majority of people here and especially to the liquor dealers who had concluded that they had clear sailing ahead, at least un- til the end of the year. It is too early yet to even venture an opinion as to the outcome of the election, many contending that those now en- gagged in the liquor business, should be given the remaining six months of the year in which to close out. and others maintaining that the pres ent, and before the Indians come back from the fishing grounds with all kinds of money, is a good time to get on the wagon. In all liklihood the vote on the proposition will be a close one.

 The Seventh-Day Adventist denonl- ination, which has been looked upon as small in comparison with other Christian denominations, is making a rapid increase.

ACQUISITIONS TO BE USED BY CITY
 OF DOUGLAS NOW

DOUGLAS, July 3-Hereafter mer- chants or others who supply any thing for the city of Douglas will do well to see that the person ordering such article or supplies is armed and equipped with a duly signed requisi- tion from someone in authority to issue it, otherwise the said merchant or others will whistle for their mon- ey. This was agreed upon at the regular meeting of the city council last night when bills were piled up aggregating over $2.000 - doubtless all regular in one respect and irregu- lar in that none of them were backed with acquisitions.
 All the members were present at the meeting and considerable busi ness was transacted.
 The Clerk submitted his quarterly report which was ordered filed. Own CTS and agents of empty houses were requested to keep them locked in or der that they may not be entered by children, there being danger of fires originating from such practices.
 From S2 cents, the amount in the treasury a week ago, the finances of the city advanced to $2,S94.59 last night, owing to money due coming in. Bills amounting to s2.017.59 were passed and ordered paid, leaving a cash balance of $874 in the treasury.
 The wharf committee reported busi- ness tO the amount of S444 DO for the week.
 The council decided to grant the request of w. Robinson to construct a garage on G street after certain red tape is woven.
 The wharf committee was instruct ed to remedy the protruding coal hop per on the dock, it being a menace to ships docking in it's present con ditiOn.

DOUGLAS HUNTERS OF GLACIERS ARE
 BACK FROM A TRIP

DOUGLAS, July 3-Should such positions as glacier inspector and glacier warden ever be created for political reasons, or otherwise, the two men best fitted for filling them would be Photographer Ed Andrews and Chas. Helsing, both of Douglas. Most men have their fads and their specialties. Some revel in scaling the dizzy heights of mountains; others delight in penetrating the haunts of big game; there are those who will stand all day in cold water up to their vest pockets and whip for trout, wondering the while if Wizard Burbank cannot devise some plan for crossing trout with mosquitoes so the former will bite. But Andrews and Helsing specialize in glaciers to which their minds run as naturally as does that of the Sultan of Turkey to harems.
 Andrews and Helsing returned the latter end of last week from a trip to Tracy and Endieott Arms. both in the locality of Sum Dunn and both terminating at the base of glaciers that are declared to be the livliest and most active in this portion of the north. Tracy Arm is 20 miles long. not wider than Gastineau Channel in front of Douglas and so full of floating ice that small boat has difficulty in getting through it. En- dicott Arm is wider but is also filled with ice which constantly and with deafening roar is breaking away from the glacier that towers hundred feet high at its end Andrews man. aged to secure some splendid pic lures of both glaciers and of the mas. sive ice flows in both arms.
 While in the vicinity of Sum Dunn the explorers visited the fox ranch of James York, which is located on Sum Dunn Island which is about a mile and a half long by a mile wide. Andrews says York has no idea how many foxes he has, but judging from

 These men say. they are not here to find fault with the churches of Juneau and Douglas, nor do they think that these places are in need
 of more churches, but state they are
 here to preach what they believe is
 message of Present Truth" The
 Seventh-Day Adventist people, whom
 they represent. claim that such message is due the world at this
 time; and believing it to be Gods last message to the world say that it must be preached in every town regardless of the number of churches that may be there. They also be- lieve that we are living near the
 end of the world, but they do not
 believe in setting any time for the Chu do ulu tHc uulIlcIltcS UT T ifSt Day Adventists in the year 1844
 They say that as the farmer can see and understand the seasons of the year and know when to prepare for the harvesting of his crop, so, in like manner, the Bible student
 may know by the signs when the end of the world is near. They also be-
 lievce that the present European war, the strikes and riots that are so
 prevalent, are a direct fulfillment of prophecy.
 Nations have been preparing for war. they say for number of years; lawlessness has been on the increase in marked manner, yet in the face of these plain facts thousands have been preaching that the world has been getting better and that all na tional difficulties would be settled by arbitration. But the present condi- tion of things in the world proves that the theory was false in the very beginning. They say the Bible plain ly teaches that the world will grow worse instead of better, and that while it is growing worse many will be preaching peace and safety which of itself is another sign of the times. according to the Bible. They further say that there is to be another war far greater than the present one < war in which every nation will be

 2.-All hose shall be back of chalk line at starting.

  must be over the chalk line and all connections must hold
 6.-Water must be gotten in 27 seconds or under.
