 ond, 39 from the Third and "A from
 the Fourth Division. The totals from

FIRE LADDIES TO
 THE RESCUE FOR
 BASEBALL TEAM
Will Compete for Fourth of July Honors and Keep a Team in the Field For
 the City

Juneau fans will not be obliged to get along without baseball this sum mer after all. The Fire Department boys, at largely attended and en thusiastic meeting last evening, de cided to place team in the field al once to represent Juneau in the Fourth of July tournament and other games as may be scheduled. There is said to be enough material within the department to turn out a good team. but it is the intention to get the best players the town can pro duce in order to make proper show ing. Jack Woodland was elected man ager. and he announced that active practice will start at once.
 An effort will he made to whip the team into shape to take part in the baseball tournament to be held in Whitehorse June 21.
 Besides taking the necessary steps to place Juneau on the baseball map the firemen discussed the extent Of their participation in the Fourth Of July sports. What promises to be the most spectacular feature on the program will be the firetruck race between companies 1 and 2, led by Captains Max Humphreys and z. NJ. Bradford. The course will lead from the fire hall to the City dock and include water connections. This is 9 new wrinkle in fire sports and is certain to arouse intense interest.
 The entire paraphernalia and equip ment of the department will take part in the parade on the Fourth and the boys are going after the prizes to be offered by the commit tee on decoration.

FRIDAY THE 18TH?

Friday the 18th! Though double hoodoo day. at press time nothing disastrous had occurred in Juneau.
 Probably because of the more than ordinary caution with which people conduct themselves, when brought ace to face with Friday the 18th, no ,alamities have resulted thus far, ,ard luck day that it is. However, if one refuses to walk under lad der, or let a black cat cross his path, or put his right shoe on first or if he handles mirror with ex- optional care today, excuse it, for while a double hoodoo may have he effect of double negative, there is no telling what a hoodoo might do s trebled

"Your name is written on my heart.

The British craft have two tunnels

AIRY from eight to ten torpedo tubesr
;wo or three four-inch guns and also
ire equipped with internal combustion
motors for surface cruising. The bat
eries for the undersea power can be
charged from both the steam and COM
,ustion engines and an ingenious
,cheme has been devised for quickly
lismantling the tunnels for the pur-
,Ose of submerging.
The vessels displace 1000 tons on
he surface and 2,7OO tons submerged.
They are $40 feet long, have beam of
.6 feet and a cruising radius of 5000
niles. They are designed to be even
match for torpedo-boat destrOyers in
'urface fighting.
1t is also known that the British

1etails of this craft have not been
made public. The new ideas embraced
the construction of the craft include
The "cushioning" Of the boat to with

CHICAGO, Jan. IA health sur
vey of the leading cities of the coun-
try, which has just been completed
by Commissioner of Health John D.
Robertson. places Chicago in first po-
sition. a place which it has maintained
for two years. The figures are COM
piled on the prevalence of typhoid,
which, according to DR.. Robertson
and. other leading authorities
throughout the country, is the strong
est index to health.
Chicago is away in the clear in
comparison with New York and Bos-
ton, the proportion in the two east
ern cities being about four times as
great as in Chicago. During h last
year Chicago had only ~thirty-seven
deaths from typhoid, whereas Boston
with one-quarter of the population.
had twenty, and New York 1876. 9th
er large cities Of the country showed
a lower death rate from this
did New York and Boston. but
none of them equaied Chicago, accord
ing to the health commissioner.
The reason for Chicago's lack of
typhoid was attributed to DR.. Robert
son to the influence of the drainage
canal, the law requiring the pasteur-
ization of milk. the construction of in
tercepting sewers. the c~hlorinating OF
h following up of all new
cases TO prevent spread of the

Of the day showed n~inety-eight new
