Stewart stated that the City Council would discuss the advisability of holding a celebration in Juneau on the Fourth of July. The business men of the city were taking some interest in the coming celebration since the liquor ques- tion had been decided and plans | were being made for a band con- cert, children's sports, and possibly a baseball game. There was great confidence among | the delegates to the Democratic National Convention who met in St. Louis to renominate President Woodrow Wilson and Vice-Presi- dent Thomas Riley Marshall. Dele- gates from all sections of the Unit- ed States, Alaska and the island possessions were convened at St. Louis to participate in the demon- stration The battle for the possession of Verdun had broken out with un- usual violence it was learned from foreign sources. The Germans had brought up fresh forces and re- formed their lines. They had ad- vanced their artillery to positions from which they had begun a meth- odical pounding on the main defens- es of the French. The Admiral Evans left Seattle enroute to Juneau with Leo J. Hig- ley aboard as one of the passeng- ers Four steamers were enroute from Seattle to Juneau. They included the Humboldt, Northwestern, Jef- ferson and the Princess Alice. J. C. Hayes, superintendent of roatls for the First Division expect- ed to leave for Skagway and Haines on the steamer Northwestern and planned to inspect roads there. The bridge over the Skagway river which had been built the previous year was to be strengthened to resist any } high water that might occur. Hayes | expected to return to Juneau in time to meet Col. Richardson who was in Seattle, but planned to leave for Juneau soon. The previous evening a ten and fone half pound baby boy at St. Ann's Hospital for Mr. and Mrs, J. Latimer Gray. Dr. L.
