20 YEARS AGO
 From The Empire
AUGUST 21, 1885

Late dispatches from Petrograd said that three Russian warships and one German warship, all small vessels, were sunk in the Gulf of Riga engagement, which had con- tinued all day. The engagement still continued, with the Russians in pos session of all channels leading to Riga.
 On land, it was reported that the Russian armies were fighting des- perately but vai.1ly to check the onrush of the Germans and Aus trians at Ossowetz- South of Brest- litovsk the German army had pene- trated far beyond the Bug river. It was said that the Russian position in this section was virtually impos- sible of further defense.
 Official reports showed that re- gently upwards of 100000 prisoners of war were being employed by var ious Russian ministries on rail- roads, in agriculture and numerous
 
 other ways.
 It was admitted in Washington that the situation between the Unit ed States and Germany had reach ed the most critical point since the outbreak of the war, and that the situation is even more grave than it was following the sinking of the Lusitania and the loss of 100 Am erican lives.
 It was reported from Fairbanks that there is plenty of water in the creeks for sluicing and all the out fits are taking advantage of con- ditions.
 Reports from Seattle estimated that in the past two years Alaska had bought more than $1.500,000 worth of mining machinery. Juneau alone used more than $1,00o,o00 worth, which was placed in the Jackling plant and in the big cleo trical' plants which furnished the power for the Alaska-Gastineau mines
 At a meeting of the management of the Juneau and Treadwell base ball teams, it was decided to declare the series ended and award the championship for 1915 to the Tread well team. Both teams had been weakened by men leaving, three Ju- neau men and one Treadwell man having gone to join the Whitehorse team to play against Dawson.
 The regular meeting of the coun- cil decided to endorse municipal sponsorship of the Mid Summer Carnival brought to Juneau from Alaska by w. D. Gross and Lester Rosenthal.
 It was decided by the council that all school children outside of the city limits would be required to pay tuition of $7 a month.
 Assurance that the Mendenhall Bridge would be accomplished this year was made by Superintendent I. c. Hayes of the Alaska Board of Road Commissioners.

Three Minute
Relief From
Periodical Pains

1t is so unnecessary to suffer
month after month from inorganic
pains, because "B. c." will bring
soothing relief in three minutes.
"B.C." is prepared by registered
pharmacist, compounded on diff
ferent principle from most relief
giving agencies in that it contains
several ingredients, used by many
physicians, so blended and proper
toned as to accomplish in few
minutes what we believe no one
drug formula can do in so short
a time. "B.C. should also be used
for the relief of common colds,
headaches and neuralgia, muscu-
