'Claiming that taxpayers’ money

spent on a city wharf, and there is no
wharf yet. The paper also says that
the sum of $900 that the city paid to
the assessor for his work was exces
*itve.
Word comes from Ketchikan that
returns from the plebiscite receive^

Industrial Union. In its declaration of
principles it is strongly Socialistic in
Its attitude toward industry and the
relations between employer and em
ploye.
For the first time in a long period
a real old-fashioned Indian war canoe
#as seen in the Gastineau channel re

was moving from Juneau to get away
from possible landslides. In the big
-1 —-—■ ., — ■ ■ ■ _ _
canoe, which was one of the largest
ever seen in that vicinity, the native
had piled all his household goods—
dogs, wife, kids and winter’s stock of
dried salmon, euiiehan and blueberries
preserved in fish oil. The owner is a
real old-timer, and scorns the way of
white men.
Jack Costigan, a well-known hali
but fisherman in Southeastern Alaska,
was drowned off the halibut schooner
America while fishing at the Queen
Charlotte islands recently. The vic
tim was chief engineer of the schooner
and fell off the deck while the boat
was anchored. One of the fishermen
happened to be on deck and saw a
mail’s hand sticking out of the water
for an instant and then disappear. A
search showed that Costigan was miss
ing. Costigan served in the naavy dur
ing the war as a petty officer. He was
married in Seattle about three months
*
ago. He was a resident of Peters
burg.
Ole Anderson, a trapper in South
eastern Alaska, and a former resident
of Wrangell, was found dead from ill
ness and starvation in his tent on
Harry bay last week. Anderson had
been acting queerly, according to
friends who visited him lately, and on
their last visit he stuck his head out
of the tent and told them he was not
feeling well and did not want com
pany. The body was frozen wTien
found, but the eyes and mouth were
open, showing that it had frozen after
death had occurred. Anderson was
about fifty years of age, about five
feet eight inches tall, and had the
letters “A. O. S. H.” tattooed on the
left forearm and a four-point star with
triangles in the star on the same arm.

Add Ten Hours of Leisure to
! *
Your Week
t
t \
Time, a wise man said, is
[ something that can neither be
added to nor subtracted from.
Yet we can add ten hours
of leisure to your week with
our Family Laundry Service.
I This is not the usual laundry
service—it is, rather, a special
service that we have developed to
i meet your special washday needs.
| We take your entire wash
ing. We cleanse everything—
\ all without rubbing. By our
method soft water and fluffy
suds bubble through your
clothing much in the same way
as they do when you souse
and rinse your daintier things
| in a wash bowl. Then we dry
1 them, without wringing, in warm
I pure air, imparting to them the
much desired freshness.
I All the flat pieces, like bed
f linen, tablecloths, pillowslips and
i napkins, we iron beautifully—
E
you will enjoy displaying them
to your guests.
The children’s dresses, your
own skirts and shirtwaists, and
such other things as need it,
we starch, ready for you to iron.
But the amount of ironing
we leave for you is slight, for
our drying process is such that
many tilings, like undergar
ments, can be worn immediate
ly, without ironing.
Then we deliver your pack
age—invitingly clean—deliver
it to you at a definite time each
week. In short, we do ten
hours of the work of washday
for you—we give you ten hours
leisure for less laborious things.
Let us8 acquaint you better
with this service. The cost of
this modem laundry service is
slight. Telephone and we will
have our driver call for your
family bundle.
