THE PERSEVERANCE ROAD
No attempt is to be made by the
government authorities to keep the
Perseverance road open this winter.
Men who are qualified to express
an opinion believe that it would cost
but a comparatively small sum, and
would be worth thousands of dollars
to the Juneau merchants, besides
being an accommodation of consid
erable importance to the 500 men
emDloyed at the mine.
It is a matter of sincere regret
that the local road official should
seemingly be imbued with the notion
that the main idea of the road fund
is to furnish thoroughfares for auto
mobile pleasure seekers.
COLLECTING BY MUSCLE
Oyster man Raymond, who plann
ed to leave for Seattle the other day,
was unavoidably detained. He owed
a little bill to George Hill, the
printer, which George attempted to
collect. George is rather disfigured,
and Raymond is at the Bishop
House.
For collecting bills with muscle,
one should have enough of it.

POPULARITY OF SITKA HOT
SPRINGS
According to Captain “Lrooie” Niel
and, long time ferry skipper, who
returned recently from Sitka Hot
Springs, that splendid resort is grad
ually. but surely coming back into
its own. There were thirty guests
there at the time of his arrival.
The springs are equal in medicin
al efficiency to any in the world.
In addition to that there is the
matchless Alaska scenery, and the
charm and hospitality of the God
dards and Miss Clunis, which would
make a pleasant place out of a coal
mine.
This comfort spot in the wolds is
now fixed to take care of fifty or
sixty guests, with the new hotel
built not long ago, which is neated
by hot water from the springs. If
the attractions of the place were
well known throughout Alaska these
accommodations would be grossly in
adequate.
A PERFECT GENTLEMAN
Douglas possesses a disorderly In
dian wlio is never the less a perfect
gentleman. The jail was filled with
bucks the other day, to its utmost
capacity. Then a SQuaw was arrest
ed and brought to the dooi. One
of the Indian men gallantly gave up
his place to the lady.
T. E. P. Keegan, a local million
aire and—-to be more definite—the
Juneau bill board magnate, is down
at Seattle cutting a wide but digni
fied path.
