LIGHTHOUSE MEN PETITION FOR A
 A RAISE IN PAY

Lighthouse keepers along the Pa cific Coast including the coast of Alaska petitioned Congress to raise the schedule of pay of all light house keepers and their assistants owing to the high cost of living They contend that the wages they receive were fixed by Congress many years ago and that while living has constantly advanced, their pay has remained stationary, until a point has been reached where the positions are no longer attractive.
 The average pay of lighthouse keep CTS is about $50 a month or $500 year. The keepers have sent petition to Congress asking that general advance be granted as soon as possible.
 AS the safety of travellers along the Coast and in Alaska depends on the efficiency of the lighthouse keepers. they have asked the general public to take an interest in their request for an increase in pay.
 United States Senator James D. Phelan of California has become the champion of the lighthouse keepers in the United States Senate and is urging a wage commensurate with the duties performed.

MUST GET WORSE BEFORE DOCTORS
 CAN ASSIST HIM

According to word received from Leonard Hurlburt, by II. A. Hurl- but, his father, Mayo Brothers are unable to give the young man any relief and are unable to tell what is the matter with him.
 Leonard Hurlbutt left Juneau sev- eral months ago for the South and East thinking that he could secure medical relief for hip trouble. He has visited Mayo Brothers and after an examination and consultation they informed the young man that they could net tell what was trou- bling him and that until he became worse, they will be unable to ren- der any assistance.
 Hurlbut has been bothered with his hip and leg. One leg shortened for two inches and the thigh shrunk for 34 of an inch. Hurlbut is well known here where he has lived the greater part of his life. He was working at Perseverance when he began to be troubled with his pe- culiar affliction.
