SCHOOL. CONCERT MAKES BIC HIT
Elks' Hall Packed Tester day Afternoon for Last
 School Musicale

In spite of the lovely weather yesterday, which tempted many into the country to hunt, fish or loaf, and the first baseball game of the season, in town, the Elks' Hall was packed yesterday after noon with an enthusiastic crowd to hear the last school concert of the season. Every seat was taken and number stood in the rear of the hall during the program. It was easily the largest crowd that has attended any of the four concerts given by the schools.
 Everything went off well and each individual number was ex- cellently done, by the over 75 stu dents that were in the orchestras, glee clubs and others that took part in the program. Especial mention is merited by the students of the Seventh and Eighth Grades that put on the operetta, The Royal Playmate" It was in two acts and required about half an hour to stage. Costumes worn by the actors were quaint and colorful, carrying out the old time, fairy tale atmos- phere of the little fantasy, and the stage scenery was extremely attractive. Miss Dorothy Chisholm, who had charge of the production, anj cotaro1 coboo1 l1ovc did tho an, tire setting, which had a castle wall with door in the center, for a background. Wisteria on the wall and ferns and fir boughs completed the perfect illusion of a garden scene.
 Duncan Robertson, as the Prince, was exceptionally good in the oper- ctta, and Joyce Morrison did well as the Princess, as did the others who took part.
 The Serenade by the Girls Glee Club. which was accompanied by the Little Sympnony Orchestra, was enthusia tt c'ally received, though in accordance with the pol icy adopted at the school con- certs, no encores were given. The girls of the gles club stood on a platform above the orchestra.
 The members of the Junior Or chestra, which made it's first pub lie appearance of the year yester- day, deserve great credit for their work. The harmony was good and they all played with confidence

STREET PAVING |. PL AN WILL BE
 AIRED TUESDAY
Council Calls Meeting to Discuss Paving with
 Downtown Interests

That there is a possibility of working out a practicable plan of paving most if not all of the un- paved downtown streets, was indi- cated today by Mayor Judson and other municipal officers. In order to discuss the matter fully and frankly with the interested proper ty owners, a special meeting of the City Council has been called for tomorrow night at 7:30 o'clock.
 Tentative plans have been made, it is known, for creating street im- provement districts under which owners of abutting properties would be assessed for portion of the cost of street paving. Lack of funds, it is pointed out, renders it impossible for the City government to pave more than a limited num- Der of blocks out of current funds However, if arrangements could be made for payments deferred over a short period of years, all of the work could be done this summer, it was stated.
 In order to accomplish this, it has been suggested by some of the larger property owners that they themselves pay the cost of con- struction and the City refund the cost to them annually in such sums as the finances will permit, and without adding to the annual tax levy. Reduced maintenance costs, resulting from the laying of permanent streets, it was said would almost take care of the pay ments. All property owners in

MAN SUICIDES
 IN CABIN ON DOUGLAS ISL,
John Halonen, Ditchtender Found Hanging from
 Ceiling Beam

Leaving only one known relative, a mother, Mrs. Anna M. Halonen, in Finland, John Halonen, 40 years old, hanged himself, between Fri day at II am. and Saturday after noon at 3 o'clock, from a beam in the cabin on Fish Creek, Douglas Island, which he shared with Adam Orava, it was decided at an inquest held at the c. w. Carter Mortuary this morning.
 Halonen had been ditch tender for the Alaska Juneau, on the old Treadwell ditch for about two years, previous to which time he worked in the Alaska Juneau Mine for some time.
 He left a letter written in Fin nish, which indicated that his mind was slightly disordered. The sub stance of the letter was that his parents were troubled by Swedish Films and that since he wanted to be a good son to his parents, he was removing himself so that they would no longer be troubled by the Swedish Films.
 There were no witnesses to the suicide, as Adam Orava, assistant ditch tender, with whom he lived, left the cabin for Juneau Friday morning at II o'clock. He re- mained all night in Juneau and returned to the cabin at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon when he found the body of Halonen hanging by clothesline from beam in the ceiling. Making a record trip from Fish Creek to Juneau, Orava re- ported the suicide to U. s. Commis- sioner Charles Sey, at the Court House at four o'clock, an hour after he discovered the body. Commis- sioner Sey and a party went to the cabin and brought the body to Juneau to the c. w. Garter Mortu- ary later Saturday.
 While 1t was impossible to place the exact time of the suicide, Dr. w w. Council, who was called in at the inquest, said that the man had been dead for some time and that he had probably killed him. self Friday night.
 The body is at the c. W. Carter Mortuary and funeral arrangements will be made known later.

When y0W
Children Cry
for 1t

Mothers, who take one simple pre-
caution, are seldom worried. With
a bottle of Fletcher's Castoria in the
house they can do what their doctor
would tell them to do, when baby is
f~retful, feverish, colicky, constipated
or stuffed-up with cold-give a few
drops of this pure vegetable, pleasant
tasting preparation. 1t comforts Baby
and soothes him to sleep in a jiffy.
It's perfectly safe for the youngest
infant. Use it freely-and as often
as needed, specialists advise. A more
liberal dose is all it takes to comfort
and relieve older children when fever
ishness, bad breath, no appetite, colds,
ETC., show they need a good purging.
The mark of genuine Castoria is the
Fletcher signature OF the wrapper.
Look for it to avoid limitations.
