A START FOR MANUAL TRAINING
A course in manual training is to
be added to the Douglas public schools.
One of the larger rooms on the third
floor is being fitted up for the pur
pose, Superintendent Kinzie, of the
Treadwell Company donating the Den
ver board necessary to line the place,
and Doctor DeVigne donating the lum
bei* for the window casings and the
strips to hold the Bearver board, and
furnishing a carpenter to do the work.
Miss McGill will teach a class in
wood work, and Miss Edna McGill a
class in sewing and basketry.
The following is the high school en
rollment:
Seniors—Ilmi Aalto, Olgat Ander
son.
Juniors—Paul Carpenter, Leah Hopp,
Regine Miller, Charles Workman, Dick
McCormack, Peter Johnson.
Sophomores—Nat Rogers, Nora Mu
seph, Melville Ninnis, Thelma Ninnis.
Freshmen—Helmi Aalto, Ella Car
roll, Edith Jackson, Anna Faherty,
John Laughlan, Lucile Fox, Almira
Loomis, Ruby Johnson, Eipmett Car
roll, Arthur Garn, Edwin Jackson,
Douglas Oliver.
A bubbling drinking fountain, which
permits the drinker to slack his thirst
without coming in contact with the
vessel, has been installed in the school
house.
Miss McGill, third grade, entertain
ed visitors the other day, and some 14
tots were among the guests.
Among the improvements at the
school house this summer new lamps
were not included. The eyes of the
“kids” are worth much more than
lamps of the latest pattern would cost,
and they certainly should be installed.
Now that the Douglas teachers are
working overtime in and endeavor to
do in eight months the same work that
the Seattle schools do in nine, the par
ents ought to co-operate by giving a
little attention to the work of the pu
pils at home. A little home stuly is
necessary under the present schedule,
and it is up to the parents to see that
they do A.
MRS. KABLER GETS DIVORCE
Mrs. Paul Kabler was granted a di
vorce from her husband by Judge Ly
ons last "Wednesday, on the ground of
cruelty. The court also awarded her
$40 a month alimony.
Mrs. Kabler plans to take charge of
a mess composed of a number of Ju
neau young men soon. Paul Kabler
has recently accepted a position in the
Douglas Market at Juneau.

FERRY WAITING ROOM
The ferry company will maintain a
waiting room for its Douglas patrons
this winter. The room on the town side
of the warehouse which was formerly
the wharf office has been fixed up, and
a fire will be maintained for the bene
fit of the travellers to and from the
capital city.
The old waiting room at the water
side of the dock has been abandoned.
NO PLACE FOR A LAWYER
A. W. Fox, who rented an office in
Douglas a little over a month ago, has
returned to Juneau. Mr. Fox made
many friends while he was in Douglas,
and could undoubtedly have made a
law office pay if anybody could, but
there is simply no business for a law
yer in the island town.
The fact of the matter is that Doug
las is an “unlitageous” community,
and no lawyers need apply.
FOR MORE AND BETTER ROADS
Governor Clark is engaged this week
in preparing his annual report to the
president. Besides his recommenda
tions as outlined in last week !s issue
of the Sourdough, he will lay consider
able stress on the necessity of a larg
er appropriation for roads. An effort
will be made by the governor to secure
a large enough appropriation so that
work can be carried on on several roads
at one time.
SLUICING THE ASHES
Paul Vincent, proprietor of the late
Juneau hotel, had a couple of men at
work last week sluicing the ashes for
gold and silver lost by his tenants in
the fire. The safe, in which was ®on
tained Vincent’s own money, was in
tact.
NEW STORE
The Alaska Jewelry Co. has opened
a store on St. Ann’s Road. The pro
prietors are Roy Walsh and Charles
Swihart. Roy Walsh has been com
pelled to sit up nights repairing watch
es during the Beveral years he has
worked at Treadwell, for friends who
believed he could do it a little better
than most anybody else, and has fi
nally given up his job to devote his
whole time to the business. Charles
Swihart will continue at the Treadwell.

DON’T CARE TO PROSECUTE
Dan Popovich, so his friends say,
will return soon, probably on the Dol
phin today, remain here for two or
three days only, settling a little remain
ing business, and then depart perma
nently.
Around the courthouse at Juneau it
is not believed that the big Slavon
ian has any desire to prosecute his as
sailant. It is more than probable, howT
ever, that there will be sufficient evi
dence without Popovich’s testimony.
Contrary to the general impression,
Popovich is not the prosecuting wit
ness, nor has he been served with a
subpoena.
Prosecuting Attorney Rustgard ex
pects a decision in the Indian citizen
ship case on Oct. 2 or a few days al
ter. “It’s hard to tell what the court
may hold,” says Mr. Rustgard.
Henry and Shattuck and J. R. Wil
lis took a day off last week, and be
tween the two of them bagged 49 birds
in a little hunting expedition to Ta
ku Inlet, grouse and ptarmigan. One
more would have reached the limit of
the law.
Having purchased the entire stock of
George Burford, I am selling all wool
underwear at manufacturer’s prices.

to the wise is sufficient—save money
while the sun shines
To leave a building unpainted, to
neglect a building when it needs paint,
is not essentially different from thorw
ing good money away. And this is
truer in this climate than any other.
This has been a splendid season for
PAINTING
and there is still plenty of time left to
paint that house of yours.
By the way, there is a whole lot of
difference in the quality of Paint—come
here for the best.
