In Pianos on Increase

The first six months this year
saw a return of prosperity in the
piano business, George L. Hadley,
general manager of the w. W..
Kimball Company, 721 Eleventh
St. N. W., said today. Business
during the first half of 1886, he
said, exceeded that of any sim
liar period during the past 10
years. He said:
"The piano business has def
initely revived More young
Sters than ever before are being
taught to play the piano. 1t is
again being conceded that the
piano is as necessary piece Of
furniture for the well-Outfitted
home as a lamp"

Says:

Guess Mr.. Kipling was right
about the female of the species,
Judging from the fact that most
all of the news pictures of the
Spanish rebellion show the
fairer sex laden down with guns
E. What a change! In the old
days girls used to set their caps
for men, now they set their
sights.
However, it must be a little
embarrassing for the men,.
Imagine being shot by a woman
you were never even properly in
trOduced to!
Anyway. this sort Of warfare
certainly gives the married men
a break. Can't you just hear
those Spanish patriots saying.

BOOST CHARGE
 AT CITY DOCK
 TO MEET WAGES
Longsh o remen Now Get Dollar an Hour for Six
 Hours Under Contract

Due to the boost in wages of long shoremen under the contract sign ed by the Alaska Railroad during its emergency operation of ships to Alaska, the Juneau City Coun- cil at its meeting last night voted to raise it's freight handling charg- es at the City Dock, the Alaska Railroad terminal here, from 75 cents to S1 ton. The wharfage charge remains at $l ton, making the total cost to the shipper of $2 per ton on all freight.
 Mayor I. Goldsteon explained to the Council that under the new agreement the Alaska Railroad had made with the longshoremen in &c., attle and which also applies here, the dock workers receive one dollar per hour for six-hour day, the day being from a. m. to D. m and S1.50 an hour for overtime. The stevedores formerly got 95 cents an iAOui lOl CA5lit liOQlo
 In approving the handling charge raise in order that the city would not run in the hole on handling freight, it was brought out that the boost in handling charge is eff fective only during the emergency now existing, the future rates de pendent entirely on how the st.i:-- may be settled
 It also was explained by the May or that the city had nothing to say relative to the longshore wages. The union in Seattle, he said, signed a contract with Col. Otto F. Ohlson, Manager of the Alaska Railroad, who is directing the operation of government-chartered ships, call ing for the new dollar an hour wage. The Seattle union headquarters notified the local longshore chap ter of the agreement and it became effective here. Copy of the contract was brought along on the Arctic.
 The Mayor reported that 140 drums of fuel oil left at the City Dock by the Standard Oil Company for shipment to Valdez was not ta- ken aboard the Arctic, the crew and longshoremen refusing to handle it on grounds that the company is what they term an unfair" con- cern.
 City Engineer Milton Lagergren suggested a revised fire ordinance to cover all matters relative to gaso- line tanks, explosives, firecrackers and variety of other subjects com ing under this heading and the Council authorized the Engineer to compile such a proposed ordi- nance for further consideration. Changes in the building code also is proposed and the City Engineer has invited contractors, builders and other interested to submit suggestions as to revamping the ordinance.

City Fathers
 Dispose of Dog
 Question Again
Matter Settled Once and for All' Councilmen
 Take Stern Action

Before the onslaught of increased human population, Juneau's famed dog population is going to have to make it's stand on the leash or in the backyard-maybe.
 This. was the almost stern yer dict of the City Council last night as it decided for the steenth time to dispose of this dog question once and for all" Off and on for months, even years, the Council has been confronted with the prob lem of dogs running about the streets of the city. It was infor- mally estimated by the Councilmen that if the letters received by the City Clerk on the matter, both pro and con, were placed end to end there would be enough to build pa- per yard three miles long for the dogs to run in.
 But after cussing and discussing the city's canines for some time, the Councilmen stood right up and took action. Three of them (dog lovers who think something should be done about it but like every body else are not sure whaD voted to draft an ordinance (anyway to see what it looks like) which would keep dogs off the streets entirely unless on leash, and would elim- mate the dog license It was even suggested if the ordinance becomes effective before dog license tax date comes around in the spring that slight refund on this years tax might be offered. Another Coun- cilman considered the new floor in the Council Chamber for some time and then decided to cast what might be termed a discreet mo vote. In other words, the Coun- cilman voted mot voting Inci- dental with that vote was the happy bark of the pooch somewhere out side in the street, perhaps sensing a strong friend in the Council.
 But the dog population got real encouragement when the next vote was cast. It was a very definite mo" vote. One of those, T don't mean maybe" kind. but an T got a dog" variety.
 So the City Council again dis posed of the dog question once and for all" Citizens, it was made clear. will hear no more about it until 1887. Incidentally, last nights meeting was the last of 1886 for the City Council.

Declare Just Demands New CT Cause for Quarrel
 Hiring Hall Issue

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 19. Roger Lapham, President of the American H waiian Steamship Company, in nationwide broadcast this forenoon, declared that the maritime strike is inflicting an im- mense damage upon the public.
 There are better ways than strik- ing to solve simple disagreement. What tragic reflection is being made upon the national intelli- gence that is simply because of a difference of opinion" he said
 Fixed incomes and savings and happiness of thousands are being destroyed because of simple issues of ones wages and hours and work ing conditions.
 No Quarrel, just Demands
 Tn these enlightened days, no sane employer would quarrel over just demands. We believe that hir- ing halls should be jointly operated without discrimination to either side as we are obligated by law to operate ships efficiently and safely, therefore we must have a voice in selecting the men to man the ships.
 Unfortunately the unions deem it essential to refuse arbitration. l"
