 for the year. In connection with the plans for the coming tourist sea son, committee on totems and

 suggestions have been made for
 their care, the new committee hopes to report progress at the next meet ing. Another important committee appointed is that on health and which will consist of
 Mrs. S. D. Grant. Mrs. A. E. Gurr and Mrs. D. Cochrane. The Council

MOONSHINE IS RUIN OF
 YOUNG MAN AT JUNEAU

Uinted States Marshal Beaumont was aboard the Northwestern Fri day night having in charge Harry Taggart, young man scarcely more more than a boy, who attempted |suicide in Juneau several weeks ago after passing worthless checks to the amount of s1OO while crazed on moOnshine whiskey. In his attempt lat self-destruction, he blinded him. self probably for life. Young Tag |gart was given sentence for one year at the penitentiary at McNeil's Island by Judge T. M. Reed of the Federal District Court last Thurs day morning he having previously pleaded guilty to the charge against him..
 According to Stroller's Weekly of Juneau, strong effort was made by number of women of Juneau to |arrange for the care of the blind boy outside the walls of a penitenti- ary and on WedneSday upward Of $400 was raised toward having hin |sent to a clinic for treatment but the court decided that under the law it was not permissible to order complete suspension of sentence but that the boy would have to go to the penitentiary and that probably Ia pardon can later be secured for him. The women therefore, re- turned the money that had been contributed for his benefit.
 On reaching the penitentiary it is probable that the boy will be given special treatment although Juneau physicians entertain little hope that his eyesight will ever be restored.

JUNEAU WANTS BOND
 ISSUE FOR $2OO, 900

 The proposed bond issue is to provide for the construction of permanent street system and to install a new sewer system. A sur vey made last summer by the street committee of the City Council indi- cated it would cost s200,00O to GOV Ter this work.
 If congress approves the bill, the question of floating the issue for the purpose mentioned will be put before the people of the com munity to vote on. a majority be- ing necessary before the bonds could be placed on the market,

SITKA BY THE SEA

There's a town in South Alaska That is all the world to me, Where Gods smile is on the mountain And his music in the tree; Where the glory of the morning Tells of glory yet to be: Iris Sitka by the sea.
 Chorus: Sitka, gem of the western ocean, Safe from storm and world com motion, Pledge we now our hearts devo- tion
 To Sitka by the sea. Here the charm of ancient legend Blends with quaint historic lore, And the spell of other peoples Rests upon her tranquil shore While the bells of the cathedral Chime as in the days of yore In Sitka by the sea.
 (Chorus) There are riches in her forests, There is wealth within her hills. In the beauty of her sunsets How the heart with rapture thrills. And her springs of healing water Bring relief from human ills; Come to Sitka by the sea.
