SCARLET FEVER AGAIN APPEARS ON ISLAND
 IN FAHERTY HOME
|MR,. Eiyai5kikMlS

DOUGLAS, Feb S.-According to Dr. G. F. Midford a case of scarlet fever made it's appearance in Doug las yesterday, the patient being Miss Anna, eldest daughter of MT. and Mrs. Jaems Faherty, who has been employed for long time in the Stubbins store and who is one of the ladies of the Island.
 For a short time, beginning two weeks ago, Miss Faherty was in the ticket window at the Orpheum thea tre for a couple of hours each even- ing and a cold she contracted there brought on tonsilitis which caused her to feel so badly last Saturday that she iwent home and has not since been able to resume her work at the store, being treated ill the meantime for tonsilitis. By yester- day the scarlet fever had developed and Dr. Midford immediately put a quarantine notice on the Faherty home.
 The presence of scarlet fever was reported to Medical Health Officer Dr. Weyerhorst who will enforce the quarantine regulations. 4&&&
 Two months ago there was one case of scarlet fever at Treadwell and two weeks later it was followed by the appearance of two more cases, but so closely was the quarantine regulations followed that there was no further spread of the disease and it was confidently believed it had been thoroughly stamped out until the appearance of the present case.
 Mir. Faherty, who is serving as a petit juror at Juneau, was not aware that his home was under quarantine until he reached home last night at 9:45 when he learned of conditions, --san he did not enter his house but tc.l a room at hotel.

AN INJURED HUSBAND COMPLAINS TO COURT
 OF WIPES ESCAPADE

DOUGLAS, Feb S.-Gilbert Jack son, although an Indian, is a horny handed son of toll and earns his bread, white, graham, rye and pum- perneckle, by the sweat of his brow working at the Ready Bullion mine.
 Yesterday morning when Gilbert returned at 3 o'clock from his work and, on entering his home, he was greeted at the door by a heavy, damp, whiskey laden breath. It was not difficult to trace that breath to it's fountain head and it led Gilbert to the bed where law the wife of his bosom soaked to the neck"
 Gilbert felt grieved, so much so that sleep forsook his eyelids and the first grey streaks of early dawn saw him heading for the office of U s. Commissioner Henson where he camped by the door uutil the appear ance of that official at 9 o'clock. He told the story of his wrongs and asked that his wife, Katie, be brought to Court and made to tell from whom she had obtained the oil of joy with which her red one had been culti- vated. Deputy Marshal Morton then where she laid bare (hold on here) where she made plain everything in connection with her actions of the previous night, duplicating man whom she called "Squaw Charley" who proved to be J. c. Anderson, another employee of the Ready Bull lion but who works in daylight. An derson got off shift about the mid dle of the afternoon and when he reached his cabin on the beach and near the Jackson home, Deputy Mar shal Morton was there waiting for him.
 In court and when confronted with the victim of his intrigue and by her injured husband Anderson 'fessed up' and threw himself on the mercy of the Court. He paid fine of $100 and trimmings, the latter sum amounting to $1I80, was assessed Katie was let off With fine of s10 and costs, $20.S0 in all, and "Squaw Charley" did the amends honorable by paying the whole thing which amounted to $132.60 for which amount he gave check on the bank. So far as the law is concerned, the matter is a closed incident, but ir the heart of the injured and formerly confiding husband there is lump as heavy as rye bread and the mem ory of that breath which met him al the door on his return to his home during the silent watches of the night will stay with him during the remain der of his journey down the corri- dors of time.

Estimated That the Dam- age Will Reach S75,0O0
 Started in the
 ROundhOuse.
LOCOMOTIVES DAMAGED
Work Has Begun to at Once Replace the BuiId-
 ings by Engineer
 ina Commission.

FAIRBANKS: Nenana was wis ited by disastrous fire which de-
 stroyed the Alaskan Engineering
 commission rohndhouse and machine
 shop, and slightly damaged the rail-
 road water tank. The fire was dis covered by the watchman, Patrick Gardner, but the alarm was turned in by James J. Fallon, watchman in another part of the town. The Nenana fire department made quick turnout and fought hard to save the roundhouse, obut the fire could not be controlled. The depart
 ment then centered their work on saving the water tank, and man aged to save it after a hard fight. There were three locomotives in the house, two big engines, and a smaller switch engine, and fire was going in each of these The watchman made his rounds, q short time before the fire was discovered, and everything semed all right at that time. The watchman then
 went to another part of the yard, and when he looked around the whole building was ablaze.
 The loss has been figured at be- tween $75,000 and $1000,000 The real loss, however, will be in the time lost on the railroad work. The three locomotives could not be examined until later, when it was discovered that one of them could be repaired, and that the other two might possibly be repaired after a long time. The one engine, No. 270, will be on the run again in week, according to those in charge. It was one of the larger locomotives, and was full of water at the tune of the fire, which is the reason 1t was not damaged so much as the others. One of the other locomo- tives had a little water in it, and his may be fixed up after a time, but both engines are in bad condi- tion.
 A later report says:
 A crew of men started to work re- LDt dt NtDdEd
 which was burned down, and more carpenters will be put to work on it within a few days.
 It is now thought that one of the locomotives will be in use again in about ten days, while another one may be repaired after a long CT length of time. In the mean time supplies will be moved by horses if in no other way, and as many of the crews as possible will be kept on the job
 Telegrams have been sent to Com missioner Riggs asking what course is to be followed, and all are eager ly awaiting his answer.
 A returning Fairbanksan who was
 in Nenana - the time of the fire
 and who helped in fighting it, said
 that the roundhouse was complete
 ly destroyed, but that the water
 tank was only little scorched. The
 only way this was saved, he said,
 was on account of the fact that the
 roundhouse was a corrugated iron
 building and the fire did not get a chance to spread very readily to
 surrounding buildings. There was
 only one small stream of water
 available to be played on the blaze,
 and it took long time to put out.
 When discovered the roundhouse
 was on fire on all sides, and was a
 seething mass of flames. which made
 it absolutely impossible to run out
 the locomotives. even though they
 were under steam. The watehman
 lit the fires in the locomotives at

THE SIGNIFICANCE
OF THRIFT DAY
By ROY COX

National efficiency can only be de-
yeloped as q result of individual effl-
cheney. and here we find the reason for
a thrift campaign among individuals. 1t
is the purpose of thrift campaigns to
bring home to the individual the benefits
that will accrue to him in practlclng 1t.
The Indifferent citizen is very likely to
regard the propaganda in the light Of
cyniciSm, saying that the Spendthr1fts'
money eventually finds its way into the
bank and while it is on its way 1t gives
employment to many deserving people.
This is all very true but how much bet
ter it would be to have this money used
constructively in ways which mean So
briefly, industry. home ownership, integ-
rity good citizenship and education OF
Saving for Just the sake of saving is
not advocated. Thoughtful, purposetul
saving is the thing desired.
Thrift to the individual means man
agenlent not stinginess. It's purpose is
to curb thOuGhtless and Wasteful eXtraV-
agance. Its practice includes the utiliZa-
ton OF common sense in the use Of
earnings. in the use of time and in the
cultivation of helpful habits. The lack
of thrift has more to do with making
poverty than any deficiency IN wages.
In the practice of thrift there is no mid
die course 1t is either to waste or to
save. Spending has been and always will
be easy Saving is hard, and it is just
as hard on one income as it is on an
other The man who canot save some
thing on $50 per month viii find it inn
possible to save on $500 a month. 1t is
an accepted fact that opportunities for
spending increase more rapidly than the
income Today's Injuries soon become
tomorrows necessities.
The man who learns to intelligently
conserve his financial resources learns, in
so doing, to conserve his physical and
mental resources. His. way of living can
be very well compared to the electric
motor; when it is running to pull a load.
it does not always cease Wlren the load
ceases, but continues and charges a stOr-
age battery which may come to it's res
