mom SATURDAYS DAILY
A GOOD SUGGESTION
la order to have a success
ful parade ou the Fourth of
July, it will be necessary io
know who will participate. 1
would suggest that the differ
ent business houses have dec
orated floats and the lodges of
Ihe town turn out with as
many members as they can
muster. As an inducement -the
committee will offer a cash
prize to the most attractive1
float. I would further suggest
that the houses be decorated,
particularly along the line os
march, publication of which
will be made later. I believe
that we can make this She fin
est parade, and the best 4tb
of July celebration that Ketch
ikan has ever witnessed, if the
citizens of the town will rem
• ember what this day symbolizes
and wake up. and as Ameri
cans show the interest that
they sfa-uld.
“Breathes there a man with
soul so dead
Who never to himself has
said
This is my own. my native
land.-'
Those taking part in the
parade will please notify me
not later than Tuesday. June
30th 1914.

A BUSY PLACE
William Semar. manager o
the Engelbr. Wiese Packing
Co., is in town today after
trip to the company's mild cur
station at Waterfall. He re
ports that fish are coming ir
plentifully from Forester Inland
and nearby points and the plan
is getting about ail the fish :
can handle.
Acting on the instructions o:
Judge Jennings. U. S. Conn
Commissioner Staekpoie ye—
terday appointed E». \V. Fsggin*
and George Caughreaa ceusu
takers to ascertain the de-.re
ef Ketchikan's adult voting
population as to whether the;,
desire the renewal of saloo;
licenses in this city for another
year. The instructions of th
Judge 'written at length are U
the effect that every male and
female citizen of Ketchikan
and within two miles of same
shall S>e seen and their opinion
secured.
Judge Jennings’ attitude o*
this question is entirely differ
ent than that of h:s predeces
sors. Heretofore the custom
has been for each saloon mar
to circulate hss own p*etitior
securing the necessary numbe
of signatures as required !>}
law and deliver same to Jndg*
Staekpoie who in turn would
forward them to Juneau wher
the licenses would be acted
on by the Judge. The new rul
ing does away with this meth
od. requiring to Commissioner
to name two census^ fakers
who as stated above must see
the residents of the place and
secure their vote. The con -
dstion being that the ?alooi
keeper- bear the expense o'
such work.
In the letter of instruction
ihe Judge -aid that the atti
tude of every citizen, man and
woman, must be -ecured - nl
the enumerator- must -tale if;
their report how each one rot
ed, whether they voted for or
against the issuance of th?
license, whether they refused
to vote at all and whether the;
were not -een. The two gen
tlemen having the matter is;
hand began their labor- ye-ler
day afternoon and it is expect
ed will finish same eometimr
next week. They are mekinr
a house to bouse canvass and
giving the matter every con
sideration.

KASAAN VS. KETCHIKAN
j Weather conditions being
most ideal, the Kasaan and
Ketchikan crossed hats, and
| from the begining of the first
to the final inning there was
never a momentof doubt as to
whom the laurals would go.
j The Kasaan boys showed up
remarkably well against such a
-trong aggregation that pre
-ented itself on the ball
grounds when the umpires
| called out “Play Ball.” The vis
iting team made several good
i hits, one of which in particular
was made by Paul Jones for a
two base hit. Owing to the
; eagerness of the local team
wanting to swat the ball for
all it was worth, made the
bench on the side lines instead
of getting a- far as fir-t base.
Several amu-ing incidents oc
curred during the progress of
the game. As usual Doc
Walker was in the limeligh'
again, this time being hit by ;•
fouled ball. Messre. Erickson
arid Verney umpired the game,
alternating each succeeding in
ning, as to bases and the pitch
ed balls and this they did witl
clock lick precision. The fin
al score resulted in favor of
Ketchikan lb and Kasaan 3.
