FEDERAL LAWS
COVER THE CASE
Residents in All Parts of Town
Must Clean Up Their
Premises
Dr. Slccnf. oily health officer,
consulted with the district attor
ney as to the power of the feder
al officials in abating nuisances
outsido the city limits. Under
section 33 of Carter's code the
federal officials have ample pow
ers and it was decided today that
all nuisances maintained on.pri
vate property, such as manure
and rcfuso piles, unsanitary lat
erines and cesspools must be
abated or arrests will follow.
There is but little use of the
town cleaning up unless a lik^
work is carried on in the reser
vation precinct. It is hoped the
residents of that section will,
wherever the snow has disappear
ed from the premises, clean up
to the. end that we may go
through the summer Willi a min
imum amount of sickness. With
in the city limits the health de
partment will do its utmost to see
thai. sanitary conditions are
maintained. It is now up to all
residents of both the town and
reservation to clean up or have
"the city or the federal officials
<lo Ihc job for you at your cost,
with the additional expense as
provided for by law. The pres
ent movement for a cleaner town
is an earnest endeavor on the
part of many to belter our con
dition, as well as make the place!
inviting to strangers.

ALAMEDA IDE i
FASTEST TIMEI
Boats Humboldt and Spokane in ;
Race From Seattle to
Juneau
Up here in Alaska ont- of the
most common enjoyments is the
occasional trip to the "states."
When we go we prefer spceil—
not the race horse speed that
drives tho gigantic liners across
the Atlantic with hazardous risk
—but speed that is an even pace
that pets one to his destination
without the monotony of a snau
pare crawl. In Juneau there are
■veil informed on steamers, their
perhaps few people who are not
equipment, speed, safely and re
liability. A man can always start,
mi argument in Juneau by saying
I hat this captain is most capable,
rtr that steamer is tbe»most de
pendable time-maker. The con
sistency of the fleet of Alaska
vessels was aired from every an
ple in the lobby of the Occidental
hotel, where great tales are told,
it few days ago. After the smoke!
rif argument had cleared away. |
I he controversy in question was I
«lill unsettled. The Dispatch was
then asked |o look up Ihe records
in question and act as arbiter.
"A" said the Humboldt was tho ;
fastest steamer on the southeast
ern Alaska run. "R" loudly pro
rlaimed that Ihe Spokane wast he |
premier vessel for fast, travel toj
Ihe nortblaml. can\e through
with the boast lhat Ihe Alameda
rould show her heels |o any hoal
oil Ihe cons I excepting (lie twin
steamers Yale and Harvard, ply-1
ing between San Francisco and!
Kan l>iegi». And "I!" wauled lliej
dispute into which lie had launch
ed with "A" and "IV settled.
Hy looking up Ihe records of,
the recent trips we find Ihaf Ihej
Alameda came |o the fronl willi
a record on her lasl norlheipi !
I rip. Owing I«» the mishap in Ke_ j
allle harbor, when she cut
through Ihe C.olnian dock, the.
vessel was delayed in sailing tin- .
lil 10 p. in., April 2<i. The llum-j
boldl, after Ihe accident In the
Alameda, delayed her sailing tin- j
lil 2 p. m. of Ihe SOI la and Ihe
Spokane sailed on lime, 5> p. in.
i.f Ihe snme day, jusl an hour
nheml iif hnn rivnl l
- I
A number of lho Alameda pas- j
sengers, thinking that the occi-;
flcnt would cause delay, transfer-]
red fo either the Bpokane or (he
Hnmholdt, but those who remain
ed on ihe big liner were on I he
dock ot Juneau to greet, them on
arrival. The Alameda had over

ship* that had left for .Tunean

Humboldt got into Douglas, two

op tin* same day, and Ihe Spokane

The Mariposa, which is n sis
