e.Mrs. Wilson is emlnently, in the
the term, ''homebody." Her exquisite
taste Is seen in every room of the ex-

been extremely conservative in allowing
expenditures for the White House since
he has occupied it, and not dollar has

declaration OF war, that could possibly

walls were repapered, but the same de-
sign of papering was kept in all ohthe
rooms. The handsome patriotic design

FISHERMEN BENEFITED THROUGH ENTERPRISES
 OF DOUGLAS COUNCIL

DOUGLAS, March 25.-A new tide book for 1918, issued by direction of the Douglas City Council, is now being distributed here, 1000 copies having been printed. The books are for the use of the fishermen and small boat operators and contain much valuable information in addition to the tide tables for which Douglas is the standard. The preface of the book contains a general write-up of Douglas, setting forth her advantages as a fish market. harbor for small boats, inducements to fishermen as supply base and residence point.
 An entire page of the booklet is de- voted to the Douglas Island bar. giv- ing complete information as to when it can be navigated by the fishing fleet, accurate comparisons being made, based on the stage of water at Douglas. This is an innovation for fishermen which has never before been attempted The differences of 1 times of tides between Douglas and practically every point in Southsast- | ern Alaska occupy five pages which also give the latitude and longitude of the same district. Two pages are 1 devoted to a plain calendar for 1918 and eight pages set forth the advant- ages of Douglas as a trading point being advertisements of the leading business interests of the town. ] The booklet which was printed at l the office of the Douglas Island News, comprises AZ pages of reliable information for fishermen and small boat operators and copies of it can be had free at the office of the city clerk or from any member of the city council.
 To further advance the interests of l fishermen of this part of Alaska twelve men, headed by Councilman Oliver Olson and under the direction of the city council, left here at 9:3 Saturday night and at low tide plant ed no less than 26 buoys on the Douglas Island Bar, marking the channel in such a manner that small boats can not go astray in crossing after studying the tide book. The buoys are anchored to dead men which are buried two and half feet in the sand, the buoys being fastened with heavy chain.
 On the whole the city council is deserving of unstinted praise for the help they are furnishing free oi l charge to the fishermen of this part of the Territory.
