DOUGLAS AND TREADWELL NEWS NOTES
FIVE TRIPS DAILY
 TO BE MADE BY FERRY
 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

DOUGLAS, Nov. S.-Manager Pull len, of the Juneau Ferry X Naviga- tion Company, announces that five trips only each day will be made from Juneau to the various Channel points until further notice
 When the Boards of Health met on Wednesday night, it was thought that a schedule could be maintained with only two trips a day and so announced in the quarantine notice of yesterday, but they did not take in to consideration the mail contract which calls for two trips each day, one at g a. m. and the other at 3:1O from Juneau.
 The schedule best suited to the workmen on the Channel had also to be considered so the matter has been adjusted to the convenience of all and still cut out number of trips while adhering to the quaran tine regulations as nearly as possi ble
 The first trip in the morning will IodVc JuHodu at Jno usual hour O1 7:10, calling at Douglas and Tread well and picking up the working men for Thane. No passengers will be discharged at Treadwell on this trip
 The next trip will leave Juneau al 9 a. m. with the mail for Douglas and Thane with no stop at Tread we'll
 At 12:30 the ferry will leave Ju neau for Thane only
 The two other afternoon trips will be made from Juneau at the usual hours, the mail trip at 3:1O, touch ing at Douglas and Thane, but not at Treadwell, and the 4:4O trip from Juneau touching at all points. This will be the last trip of the day and will carry the evening papers and the workmen to their homes.
 No passengers will be taken on at Treadwell for Juneau and only those who are working or have urgent business will be allowed to travel at all.
 Island passengers leaving for Ju neau must pass the inspector at the City Dock and give a good and sui ficient reason for travelling.
 This schedule and regulations will be maintained until after the uuar anine or until further notice.

When cooked she placed the pot with it's contents on the back of the stove put on her hat, and walked off
 After about six days rest .up Nellie returned home with her dogs and, like Old Mother Hubbard, she went to the cubbard to get her poor dogs a feed, but when she got there she found the pot absolutely empty This was a puzzler, and remained a puzzler until the next day when four mushers arrived at the roadhouse. ordered dinner and with the order each gave her dollar, stating that four days previous, finding no one in and being quite hungry they had helped themselves to a fine pot of mulligan they found upon the stove Nellie is now in Quandry. If she returns the money she will have to tell the facts, and Nellie hates to hurt any ones feelings. But it was hard on the dogs-(valdez Pros pector.)
