WELFARE OF THE
 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
 BEING LOOKED AFTER

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The Federal Government is not only giv- ing close attention to the matter Of the proper Housing of its new ap- pointees ill Washington. but the general welfare of the employees is now considered in greater measure than ever before. Many of the young people who have come to Washingto ton for war work are hun dreds, even thousands, of miles from home for the first time in their lives. They are strangers in a wondered at that they become home sick and magnify the troubles that they are bound to meet during the period of adjustment to new condi- tions. The department heads real ize that a good clerk must be a con- tented one, and many offices have appointed welfare workers whose bushes it is to take an unobtrusiVe
 interest in the affairs of the em- ployees and to try to help them with their difficulties. Experiments along this line have had such good results that the number of offices which empS>y welfare workers is increasing.
 Since the war began about 5000 employees have been added to the civil service in Washington, D. C. The United States Civil Service Commission, whose duty it is tore- cruit this branch of the service, es inmates that this calendar year will add another 900. Stenogra- phers, both men and women, who are trained in certain special or technical lines, ship draftsmen, me chanical draftsmen, and workmen in trades connected with ship-bulding. The representatives of the civil ser vice commission at the post offices in all cities are prepared to furnish definite information and application blanks.

PROHIBITION WHOLLY PROSTRATES BUSINESS
 IN MUNICIPAL COURT

DOUGLAS, March 14.-From an absolutely nothing is the record of the police court of Douglas within the past few months. Up to the time when the population of the Island was materially lessened by the mine disaster of last April the receipts of the police court more than paid the salary of the City Clerk and Police Magistrate and frequently left con siderable surplus in the city exche- Quer. But it is different now.
 There has been but one city pris- oner in the municipal jail since the first day of the present year and that was the 2nd of January and the culprit was wearing a hold-over jag of mammouth proportions. He paid a fine, the last one imposed by City Magistrate Bennett. Two or three Federal prisoners have occupied the jail since that time, but otherwise it has been untenanted
 The above condition is proof posi- tive that this portion of Alaska is conforming to the dry" law without deviation. In any caches were made here the first of the year, they are not being depleted to any noticeable extent but are still intact. While it is said that the market price for booze is $25 per gallon, no transac- tions at that or any other figure have been reported. Certain wisacres
The Alaska daily empire., 1918-03-14

had not worn a skate, (roller, of course), in many years, discovered that they were still young and as keen for the sport as before the sere was on their pumpkins and their fodder was in the shock. Refresh ments, coffee, canine and cream, were served and everybody present voted it the most enjoyable evening of the winter. It is possible that arrangements will be made for hay ing skating one evening at the Nat" and if such is the case, i'm mense crowds may be expected for the first few weeks. It is a histori- cal fact, however, that roller skat- ing, like honeymooning, wanes after month or two-three months at the outside.
The Alaska daily empire., 1918-03-14

contend that there are many caches in this part of the country and that they will be tapped" later on and when the fishing season is further under way. However, it is not gener- ally believed that this is true as 1t is now pretty fully realized that too much risk is run in tying capital up in contraband goods-that the eagle eyes of "Si" Tanners staff are too watchful to warrant engaging in the business as a business.
 But the fact remains that, in mak ing up the budget for the city this year, nothing can be counted upon Or expected from the police court, as revenue producer it is in the same class as a flooded mine.

GOING OUT TO ENLIST

DOUGLAS, March 14.-Irwin NJ. Goddard, former Douglas boy, but of late years assisting his father, Dr. F. l.. Goddard at his famous re- sort, the Sitka Hot Springs, arrived
 here night before last on the Prince of Wales and will leave on the Spo- kane Saturday for Seattle where he will offer his services to Uncle Sam in whatsoever capacity he may be most needed. Young Goddard has studied navigation and has spent his life practically on and around the water. He will endeavor to enter the Navy but will not insist on that branch of the service if needed in any other. He is the stamp of Amer ican who will make good anywhere.

PUBLIC SCHOOL IS PARAMOUNT ISSUE IN
 DOUGLAS ELECTION

DOUGLAS, March 14.-While but little, interest appears to be shown in the caucus to be held in the As sembly room of the public school building tomorrow night at s o'clock for the purpose of placing in nomina- tion seven candidates for the city council and two candidates for mem bers of the school board there ap. pears to be sort of undercurrent around town that is strong for main taining the efficiency of the public school at it's present standard even though the rate of taxation is requir- ed to be raised to the limit permit ted by Territorial law which is 2 per cent.
 During the closing year the town of Douglas has been run on a tax levy of IF per cent, and all obli- gations were met and discharged and the city treasury will not be empty by neat sum when the year is up. But there were something like $4000 of money of saloon license money paid into the treasury this year which will not be paid during the coming year, which amount, or a goodly portion of it, will have to be made up from other sources if civic affairs are to be conducted along the same lines as formerly. Friends of the public school, and they are decid- edly in the majority, maintain that, if the extra half of 1 per cent. is necessary to keep the school up to the present standard, it should be lev jed and collected, and this in view of the fact that a generous Terri torial law furnishes three dollars for every one furnished by incorporated towns of the class of Douglas for school maintenance.
 Further, it is argued that while an additional levy of F per cent. will amount to a neat sum in the aggregate, it is of little moment to the individual, being just one-fourth
 more additional to his tax which the bettered conditions which will result from a high-grade school will i TtpldCe SeNeIdl tiilcS ONcT uullIB luc l year.
 There is a report being circulated
 to the effect that it will not be feasible to maintain the high school another year but that some arrange ments will likely be made for send ing Douglas high school pupils to Jul neau. This is only report, but if any attempt is made to carry it out, the exodus from this town due to the late disaster to the mines will not, in the opinion of many people, be a marker to that which will follow the doing away with the high school for people will not continue to reside where they can not secure educa- tional facilities for their children. In view, therefore, of conditions existing here and of the reports cur rent regarding the enforced status of the public school for the coming year, it is suggested that every man or woman, the latter are eligible to any office within the gift of the people, placed in nomination at the caucus tomorrow night for either member of the city council of the school board be asked then and there to state just how and where they stand on the school question Such statement is due the people and fair to the candidate.
