SOME SPEED

The boys of Douglas Island made heroes Of themselves last Tuesday night whom they gave one of the most diversified parties ever held on bc Island
 The occasion of Che party was thc fact that some Douglas girls mamcs IcIotcdJ had made che remark that .lc Douglas boys had lots of curves and control but lacked speed.
 TO show thc girls that they had everything. the boys went to work secretly and extended an invitation to number of the incest young ladies in Juneau to come over to Douglas Island on Tuesday night to .l little party in fact, they not only invited them to come but they char . ta. .I a boat and sent it over after them. About a dozen and a half of Iuucaus lairest daughters, accom- panied by two chaporons, sailed for ] thc shores of Douglas Island on the '1lg gas boat Peggy
 Upon Che arrival of the visitors they were met by a four-horse cutter of he Griggs-McRac transfer com 1my and were first taken for a sleigh ride along the government road and Co Treadwell. Upon the return from Treadwell the cutter stopped at the Natatorium, where roller skating was on for an hour. After the skating the whole crowd went to thc Labor Union hall, where a fine orchestra played an the latest azz stun and dreamy waltzes.
 Dancing was on until about mid night. when fine lunch was served i'm Che banquet room of the hall. Frank Bach. Jr.. was toastmaster for the occasion and explained the purpose Of the party. which was to eiye Che Juneau girls a good time and to demonstrate to the Douglas EIrIH ludl luc h"Hhl"' ""''
 some entertainers and were not lack ing in speed. He also said that of course thc hearts of the Douglas boys were stnl on the Island but to pre- serve their rights they were com ncllcd to show their independence
 Several of Che young ladies from Juneau made speeches in which they thanked the boys for the party and said they knew that the girls of tho Island would realize the position they were in and see the joke.
 There was more dancing aftei lunch and sometime just what time it was we have been unable to de termine. as watches must have diff fercd-the whole crowd Of boys ac companicd the girls to Juneau or the chartered boat
 So ended one Of the best partie that has ever been held hero. Tn
 party ended, but as yet we can no l say what will be the outcome of it It is not like the Douglas girls t , submit to a slight of this kind with out reprisals of some kind, and flu - ture developments will be watche
 with keen interest.

White Wine Causes Native Girls to Get Hilarious on Douglas
 Beach

"Wednesday night. just after 6 o'clock, Deputy Marshal Johnson re- sponded to an SOS. call on the Douglas beach, brought in by na- tive gentleman who claimed that his wife was drunk.
 Upon the arrival Of the marshal at the scene Of Che trouble he found Helen Lee and Mrs. Louise John son. two of the faircst Of the native daughters, parading Thlingct avenue with their arms around each other. They were on the war path and war blcd the war cry of their long-for- gotten ancestors. Between war cries they would sing extracts from the popular love dittie8 Of the day. When they were not yelling or sing ing they were crying and, taking it all together, were having a nice little party until the marshal hap pened along and with the help Of the husband headed them for the lookup. On the way Co jail they proved that they had working knowledge of language other than English and Thlingct. They could sling profanity in a way that would make mulc-skinncr turn green with envy.
 After the sobcring effects Of night in the calaboorc they were taken before tho U. s. commissioner where they claimed they had become lit mp on one-half gallon Of cider.
 The judge told them that accord ing to his belief there was not that much noise in such a little cider and that they could go back to jail until they could tall the truth about the source of supply for the hilarity
 They went back to jail but soon sent word that they had made a lit- uc mistake about what they had been drinking and had come Co the concluson that it was white wine. They also told where they got it and the price they paid. which was sevonty-nvc cents.
 Marshal Johnson. armed with this information. got warrant and searched the cabin of Nick Mark on st. Ann avenue where he found about gallon of raisin wine that was homo made and full of kick. IIc also found a barrel of the same stun that had been made only a couple of days and. therefore. was kicklcss as yet. and also three bottle Of honest to-goodness beer.
 Nick was gathered in and owned the corn. or rather the raigin. and threw himself on the mercy of thc court, claiming that he had been sick for a long time and unable to work. He was fined $50 and costs
 The two young native girls, the oldest. not being 20 years old, were fined ten dollars and costs the total amounting Co $191O each
 All the fines were paid and Che principlas went home 10 sin no more
