Three Whalers Have Been Frozen Up
Since Last September.

New Bedford, Mass, June 29.-Letters
received in this city from Herschel Is
land bring the intelligence that three
of the staunchest steamers of the San
Francisco whaling fleet were caught in
the ice off the mouth of the Mackenzie
river last September and could not
make a harbOr.
These vessels, the Mary D. Hume,
Captain VIM. Haggerty; the Jesse H
Freeman, Captain w. p. S. Porter, and
the Fearless. Captain James McKenna,
were frozen in the ice while trying to
make a harbOr.
They were in no danger during the
winter, but the letters state that during
June, when the ice pack breaks up, the
vessels will have hard time of it. and
the chances are that all three will be
crushed.
If so, the lives of from 12O to $50 men
will be in danger. The WhalerS were
short of provisions and the crews had
to haul supplies from HerscheI Island

It would be we'll to balance the ledger
on many things beside those mentioned.
The methods of our fathers will not do
in government any more than in bust
ness. In business it only takes small
margins now to make fortunes. when
years ago it took large margins to make
a living The state that does not pro-
tect it's citizens in ways not necessary
a decade ago compels them to be the
prey of a multitude of trusts and cor
porations that viii systematically and
effectually absorb all their surplus
above a. living.
Brains and cunning on the part of
the manager of the trust must be met
by the same on the part of those in
public places or the public good will
suffer.
It shall hold educational meetings
throughout the state to discuss not only
means of saving money as indicated,
but of bringing our school system up to
a higher standard in every way, espe-
cially in practical results; how to keep
our boys in school; how they may learn
skill in trade or business; how habits
of economy and home keeping may be
taught to both boys and girls.
''Our public school system is the best
in the world, but it can be improved.
1t should give the very best of every
thing educationa1Iy, and should direct
~ prepare every boy and girl not only
for life, butte make a living, and that
under modern methods and conditions.
During the institute season writing
and attending to their wants, along
with putting of the text book law in
operation, will leave little time for anv-
thing else, but so soon as school opens
in September 1 shall begin a series of
educational meetings What I wish

recede from his position. The city gov.
