The casualty list. which five days
Of rioting has brought to two dead
and about 200 injured, continued to
mount.
The crowd was not doing much

the guardsmen launched their attack
to disperse the throng before heck
( lerS became rioters. Snipers, who
were reported in the crowd last night,
had not made an appearance up to

Around midnight the scattered
throng had dwindled to about 1000
persons, some of whom were holding

Michigan and Lagrange streets inter-

Casualties were added to the grow

Guardsmen made their foray into the

crowd resisted the militiamen, REIN
forced momentarily for the effort, the
strikers and their sympathizers were
washed back with repeated blasts
from gas projectile guns.

GASBOAT ACE RETURNS WITH REPORTS OF ED SKARET HUNT PARTY

Wilfred Rice, who was sent out on November 13 by U. s. Commits sioner J. F. Mullen to check up on small boats reported delayed since the storm of last week, returned to Juneau this morning, having pro- ceeded to Seymour Canal, with stops in all small bays and har- bors between.
 At Sore Finger Cove he encoun- tered Martin Wick, who with Ed Skaret, aboard the gasboat Smile, were among the hunters reported overdue. Their boat was broken down and the battery so low they were about to start overland to a fox farm, in the hopes of borrow ing boat or sending word to town, when the Ace put into the cove.
 With the aid of the Ace, they re- charged the battery and both boats started for Juneau. They remained at Taku Harbor last night and left there this morning to proceed to Juneau. The Ace was able to make it, but the Smith was forced to put back to Taku Harbor to await more favorable weather. It will continue into port as soon as it is able, according to the report made to Commissioner Mullen by MT. Rice.
 Other small boats encountered were in good condition and in no danger.

Sev- eral hunters have obtained goats quite near the Glacier.
 This has been peak year for ptarmigan in the Interior with hun dr e d S of thousands observed throughout the district and those around Juneau are possibly an overflow, MT. Dufresne said.

 THAT'S COUNCIL
Hint at City Hall Indicates that Important Item
 May Be Due

Although there is every evl- dence of a quiet" meeting of the City Council tonight, there is more than a hint at City Hall today that an item of business may be presented which would turn the session into one rivalling the ex- citement of the most recent pre- vious one.
 On November ?, the Juneau City Council sat down to a meeting heralded as quiet" nothing -out- of-the-ordinary gathering. It's his- tory now. how councilmen and representatives of women's clubs engaged in a bitter word battle over the councils decision not to hire a policewoman.
 Some repercussions on that po- licewoman proposition m ay De heard tonight, but that is doubt full as the City Fathers have defi- nitely turned down the suggestion Just what, then, the mysterious subject of discussion at tonights meeting would be, city officials would not say. But there was hint that the gathering could cas- ilv turn from a quiet to a busy session.
 Councilman R. H. Beistline, chairman of a committee investi-t gating the advisability of the city hiring a building inspector and revising the building code, said yes terday that probably he would re- port nothing more than progress tonight. He is waiting for a copy of the Howard Code, which is used as a building code by most cities.

2O.OOO.OOO CATS

The state conservation commits
sion of Ohio estimates that the cats
of that state kill five birds apiece
each year. 1t is estimated that at
least 100000 cats are roaming
around loose in that state. II SO,
they are supposed to kill 100000
birds a year. AS Ohio has five per
cent of the population of the United
States, there may be .20,OOO,OOO cats
roaming around in the United States,
and they probably kill 1OO,OOO'OOO
birds a year.
Some people favor laws requiring
cats to be licensed and tagged. But
you might have to call out the Ma
tional Guard to enforce such a law.
Still, there is no question that the
cats do kill a great many birds, thus
destroying the guardians of our
food crops. Put bell on Kitty dur
ing the nesting season, is a good
principle.

TOLERATION OF GRAFT

In many cities, the effort to put
down political graft seems to be re-
garded as hopeless. The thing is
taken for granted, something that
cant be helped. So bootleggers and
keepers of vice resorts in such places
pay their rake-Offs, and contractors
give handouts to the politicians.
The worst feature of such sit
nation is that it gives an impression
that 'everybody's doing st." II leads
leople to look for chances for crook
ed profits for themselves.
The jewellers in such poorly man
aged cities do not realize what they
pay for these methods. The cost of
graft is not shown in their tax bill.
But if a contractor thinks he has
to pay graft, he allows for that as
one of the costs of his jobs, and the
taxpayer has to settle.
II may be observed that some men
get rich quickly in politics, but they
can always attribute their sudden
ealth to lucky speculations. No one
can prove they are not telling the
truth.
1t seems intolerable that the cost
uf governing many communities,
principally the larger cities, is in
creased by such methods. But the
public can stop those things if 1t
really wants to. 1t can refuse to
vote for candidates unless they have
made reputation for scrupulous in
tegrity. If people will take an in
terest in politics, there are plenty
of ways by which they can find out
what the record of candidates is.
Fortunately, the great majority OF
American communities are not yet
seriously affected by this faint. In
the smaller cities and towns, it is
not easy for corruption to get by
People usually know whether bust
ness is honestly done or not, and
they have not yet acquired this easy
tolerance of wrong-doing. Some day
the American people will wake up |
to these evils everywhere, and de-
mand that they be stopped.

DEVELOPING NICE LAWNS

One of the best features of a
progressive community, is a dispo-
sition on the part of the home own
ers to maintain smooth and green
lawns. This calls for considerable
labor, but the expense need not be
large.
However, grass plants need plant
food just like any farm staple. You
can't keep cutting grass and ex-
pect the roots to flourish while you
draw the nourishment from the soil.
You must expect to feed that lawn
with fertilizer A golf club green
keeper says that he puts on a slight
coating of fresh loan twice year,
which has a wonderful effect to give
new life to worn out soil. The green
lawn will give an air of beauty TO
the simplest and most modest home
here in Delaware.

SMALLNESS In BUSINESS

A generous policy pays, in bust
ness and anything else. A friend
from another city gives us this in
stance out of his own experience.
II wanted a small repair job
done he says, land / called up a
man in that line and asked him to
attend to it. Meanwhile we found
we could fix the defect that bother
ed, us so that when he got to our
place. there was nothing to do. He
charged us $1.OO, that being his min
imum charge for service. l thought
he might have cut 1t to SO cents, un-
der the circumstances, as it didn't
take him over 20 minutes of his
time. Some men would have refused
to take a cent. and would have con-
sidered il good advertising. The
practical result was that I formed
the impression that he was a little
small, and / have paid Oht $4,000
