THIS MAKES
 TWO YEARS
Second Christmas in Succession That Quarantine Has Been on in
 Douglas

IT Che. quarantine stays on until after Christmas as no doubt it will; will be Che second successive Christmas that Douglas has been in quarantine. Last year just before the holidays quarantine was de- clared for scarlet fever and the chill dreu did not have their holiday gatherings and Christmas trees
 This year Douglas will again be without its usual gay Christmas times, as the ban is on absolutely tight. There will be no public trees or celebrations of any kind This is a sad state of affairs for Che children but they will no doubt overcome the difficulty by having little trees in their own homes.
 Flu or no flu. there will be some good Christmas dinners cooked on the Island for Christmas, and tur- key and an trimmings will be pre- pared and eaten by those who are we'll enough to eat.

It is thought that Che works were closed down owing Co the un- certainty Of Che metal market on ac- count of Che closing of the war and that operations will be resumed as soon us conditions become normal again.

WHERE IS JONEs9

For several years there lived in our midst a strange character called Senator Jones. He was called Sen ator" ou account of his fcycrIsh ac- .iviy round thc polls whenever an election contest was on. On elec- .iou day hc would appear near Che polling places. shaved within an inch of his life and wearing his best black suit 10 did not make any difference what thc issue was. he got out and worked for some ticket.
 He was a smooth talker. but did not have a commanding presence by 1 long ways. He could win votes by his talk. but his appearance went against him and the subjects who believed what he said always went to che polls and voted "forninst' when they took ono look at his makeup.
 He was a great Wickersham boost er. which was probaly one reason that Douglas Island went SO strong for Sulzcr two years ago. as he was particularly busy around thc polls that day
 He bet an the money he could rake up on Wickersham and was bitterly disappointed when Che clcc- ton was declared in favor ot sul- ger. He lett here something over two years ago. presumably for Cali lornil. and some say died Of a broken heart over the loss of the election bets and thc seating of sulzer. At any rate. not one word has been heard from him since his arrival in Seattle If he Is alive, he will nc doubt take a new lease on lie and como back to claim his bets. as it looks likc Wickersham will be seated iu congress by the report Of Che ma iority ot The committee appointed tC determine Che result of the 1916 election
 Tho disappearance of Senator Jones win perhaps remain one oI | Alaska's mysteries. as there Is utu, doubt that he has died. He was tC return Che following spring. and i bc should come back now he vii have a little windfall in bets coming Co him that he thought was ever lastingly lost.

SOLDIERS MUST
 ASK TO LEAVE
Applications for Discharge Must Originate With the Soldiers
 Themselves

The following message received by the local draft board yesterday from the office Of the governor is self explanatory;
 Message from the commanding officer at Fort Seward is quoted be- low. and it is suggested that you have it published and that you m- swcr questions affecting Che dis charge of drafted men n accord- ance herewith:
 "It would help considerably ii newspapers would publish the fact that requests for discharge on grounds which make liim eligible must originate with Che soldier Or ders, circulars. etc. covering these grounds arc published Co and not withheld from soldiers. We cannot consider requests from others than Che soldier except i'm Che most urgent cases. Tho soldier knows his own mind best and he has explained Go him the grounds for eligibility. Telc- grams asking discharge of soldiers arc silcd. The best help that can be afforded Is to secure employment for the soldier and Co notify him. not us."

LIKE ROLL CALL
 OF FAMILIES
So Many People Have the Flu or Bad Colds It Is Impossible to
 Enumerate All

The polite question Co ask your
 friends when you meet them now is, Have you had the flu yet?" If they say yes, then you must ask what they took for it. If you have had it, you must describe your symptoms to thcm and they will retaliate by tell ing you how they felt. The one who can describe the most painful symptoms is the winner of the con tcs, nd the game is finished until two others meet.
 Many folks have not got the flu just bad colds-but they have some awful symptoms and can make the hair stand when they describe them. But of course they disclaim having influenza. As far as that goes, we can hardly see what difference it makes whether it is a bad cold or ul. as long as you are good and sick.
 We hesitate to mention the names ol those who are sick or have been sick with the epidemic for fear we may slight some one and hurt their feelings. This would be bad, for it .s bad enough to have the flu with out being slightcd when the roll Of the "I Had It Club" is called.
 We will just mention a few of the ones who have bad colds and flu without trying to enumerato all: NJ. $. Hudson had it, but is getting all right again; Mir. and Mrs. John Haho and son (the boy was very sick for a time but is recoverIngD. There are a number of Treadwell employees confined with it ih the hospital-in fact, the hospital is taxed to capac- ity; the Sister Superior has it; Mrs L. II. Motzgar was quite m but is recovering; Councilman oliver Olson has mild attack: Sergeant Harry Irvine is wrestling with it; Miss Cassie King either has it or a bad cold. and Miss Doris oliver is afflict- ed in the same way. There are a number of cases on the beach and tho doctor makes calls all the way from the Ready Bullion to very near tho cemetery.

OFF AGAIN ON
 AGAIN WORSE AGAIN
Ban Lifted for Nine Days and Then Put on Again on Account of
 More Cases

The flu ban. which was lifted here on the ninth of December. was put back on again on the l7th, when the schools were ordered to be closed. At six o'clock in the even ing of the 18th the old restrictions, including the closing Of all places Of amusement. churches, etc.. were or dercd, also the wearing of gauge masks.
 The cause Of the establishment of the quarantine was the rapid spread of the influenza. Where at the first appearance of the epidemic here the cases were confined to few households, this second epidemic has spread from one end of the lsl- and to the other.
 Just how many cases Of nu there. are here it would be hard to csti- mate now, as it seems to be every where There are a number Of cases on the beach among the natives. many at st. Ann hospital and more scattered among the families all over the Island
 The present epidemic seems Co be not as severe in form as it has been in other places. There were a num- Der Of people who have been quite sick, but in the majority Of cases the sickness is but for a few days duration and quite mild in form.
 With but just one physician in town he is of course not able Co visit everyone every day but he goes as far as he can and then has to stop, giving his attention, Of course, to the most severe cases.
 The ferry schedule has not been but people travelling back and forth between the different cities on the Channel are asked to wear masks.
 There is no way Of knowing just how long the quarantine will be but there is little likeli- hood that the ban will be lifted until some time after Christmas.
