THE INFLUENZA
 BAN STILL ON
 IN THIS CITY
End of Quarantine" Not Yet, Though There Are No New Cases; Most
 Old Ones Cured.

Restrictive regulations for the pre- vention of the spread of influenza will continue in Juneau for time at least In fact, the end is not yet in sight. And, Mayor Valentine says, they will continue tighter than ever"
 The epidemic in Juneau has about reached it's course, but it is not yet under control at Douglas and the word received from the South is not It all reassuring.
 There have been no new cases in Juneau, and the old ones have been recovering and being discharged at q rapid rate Dr. l.. O. Sloane, City Health Officer, said this afternoon that there are only two persons in bed at Juneau at this time i'll of influenza. But, while the situation at Douglas is improving rapidly, new cases are being developed there, and word comes from the South that the in the Puget Sound country, and at Victoria, B. C., diphtheria is being developed with it.
 The Juneau health authorities are very strongly in favor of the use of the masks as the most effective pre- tentative. It is pointed out that in both sieges of the disease in Juneau the new cases began to decrease after the wearing of masks was made compulsory.
 The health authorities say the ban will be raised at the very earliest possible moment compatible with the safety of the community.
 Dr. F. H. Helker, of the Public Health Service, reported today that there were 7S cases of influenza in Douglas Eight new cases developed yesterday and two new ones today. Dr. Emil krulish and Dr. D. H. Mont gomery will go to Douglas tonight to vaccinate people with the influenza serum.

PROHIBITION
 AMENDMENT 70
 BE ADOPTED
Is Conceded There Will Be Little Opposition to the Measure in State
 of Oregon.

SALEM, Oregon, Dec. 2S.-The legislature of Oregon will convene January 13, 1919, for a session to last not more than forty days. The Governor is privileged to call a special session of not to Xceed 20 days, at any time within the bien- nial period, but this has seldom been done in the history Of the state.
 Little legislation of importance has been forecast for the coming session, and nothing of partisan nature can well raise an issue Seventy-nine Republicans, nine Democrats and two Independents will make up the legislature. Pro- form, it is predicted.
 With Oregon definitely in the bone dry column, the ratification of the federal prohibition amendment is expected to be made without a battle of any consequence.
 A proposition to simplify the state government by doing away with large number of offices and re grouping of the duties of others, is to be reported upon to the legisla ture by committee appointed two years ago, and interest may center in the consideration of this plan, which, however, is not conceded to have much chance of adoption. The radical nature of the changes sug gested and the large number of of fee holders affected will work against it's chances of success, ac- cording to political prophets.

Happy New' Year By Rey. J T. MCQUEEN, ot Methodist Chnrch

Go with Faith unduunted, through the
 ills of life,
 Scatter smiles and sunshine Ger it's
 toll and strife.
 General Booth, of the Salvation Army gave sealed orders to all his officers to be opened on New Years Day, the orders contained just one word: others"
 Third, God: Tn the beginning God.' Also in the end, God. The chief end of man is to glorify God. There is some good in living for self, but not much There is more in living for others, but that has it's limitations and it not altogether sat isfactory. A man never reaches his highest level until he lives for God. Living for God includes both self and others. It was said of the An clients, that to every one was given the choice of an urn. One was gol- den urn full of blood, and in it was written the one word Empire" An other urn was full of Amber and full of Ashes In it was written the word Glory" The third was of clay and empty but in the bottom of it was written God" True hap piness is impossible without God Self is broken reed. Which urn will we choose to take with us dur ing this coming ye1r? The life that has the most of God in it will have the most of real happiness. ss
 Another year is dawning,
 Dear Master, let it be,
 In working or in waiting,
 Another year with thee.

The passing year is the most event full year in the history of civiliza- tion; each day in the year has been an epochal day; historians have had to work overtime in order to keep In step with the progress of events. The new year is marching in with cadence which is prophetic of great things yet to be realized.
 Our wish for ourselves and for all others, is happiness. Happiness, what does it mean? It is a difficult word to define; Varro, made two hundred definitions of the word hap piness; the three leading schools of Athens tried to give it satisfactory definition; Plato was right when he said. Happiness, is to live reflec- lively or, thoughtfully; face the prob lens of life bravely, if God exists, believe it; if death ends all, be sure of it; if Jesus Christ is the Saviour of men, accept Him.
 Epicurus was right also when he said, Happiness is to live cheerily. Cheerfuluess is 8 medicine which, not only helps him who receives it., out also him that gives it. To be cheerful is a fine art in which We should all seek to excel. We live in a pleasant world, and God has been good to us all our days"
 Zene was right when he said: Happiness is to live with Christian fortitude; be superior to your enyir onment; be master and not the slave to yourself and surroundings In the keystone of an arch in an an cient Saxon Castle, is legend which is said to contain the secret of happiness. Here is the device hand reaching upward as in sup plication, and over it the words Will Cod, l Can" This would be an appropriate motto for us all to take with us through this coming year Let the will be governed by inc Divine Power, and all that is necessary to round out a contented and happy life will be within the reach of every man. Without that man is creature of circumstances. Choose the best things this year, be- cause life is the result of the choic- es one makes as he goes along.
 Second. God Alas for the man who leaves God out of his reckoning. Life is said to be Triangular" The three sides representing God, Self and Others. First, self. It is mans duty to make the best out of himself, not by trying to get the most happiness out of life. but by trying to put as much of happiness back into life as possible. Selfre- finement and self-culture is the big business of life.
 Second. A man may live for oth- ers.-Sydney Smith said: Life is in two heapsi the one of joy and the other of sorrow If can on any day take a little from the heap of sorrow and add to it the heap of joy. I reckon that day we'll spent" There will be opportunity for such work during the coming year. The words of the poet will help us: When the days are gloomy, sing some |
 happy song, Meet the worlds repining with a |
 courage strong,
