Attorney General Carr~glvestIie

Attorney General Carr@glveS the
following opinion regarding legal
holidays for school teachers:f
ANY legal holiday that occurs
during term time that is between
the day that school comlnepces
and closes is holiday lOr the
teachers, who receive pay for that
day. IL Friday after Thanksgiv-
.,ylich is not observation-disclosures on
other days school is dismissed, the
teacher may make up that time
on Saturday or any time that suits
the directors. The directors should
be consulted and they should re
gard the convenience of the teach
ers and the patrons Of the school.
| am constrained to believe the
construction of the law by the
superintendent of public instruct
ion is correct. Ifyou will read it
carefully you will see that she
holds it to be the duty of teachers
to make up all lost days, except
legal holidays. Those days they
are not required to make up for
the time and their pay goes on
the same, 1t being the intent OF
the law to give them that much
time. | can see 10 criticism to be
made upon her answer"

A REINDEER EXPRESS LINE.
The Government Comes to the Res
cue of Miners.

Washington, Aug. 23-Some interesting
statements relating to the sold region IN
Alaska and the reindeer experiment there
are brought out i'm the annual statement
of United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation Harris, submitted to-day for the
past fiscal year. 1t describes in detail the
progress of the mining, the growth Of
Dawson and the Klondike district, the two
principal routes via st. Mchaels and via
Cnkook pass.
Touching the importance of extending
the Introduction of reindeer into that ter
ritory the report says the reindeer sta
tions ought to be able to furnish 500 rein
deer trained to the harness at once for
the use of the miners on the upper Yu-
kon river.
1T was my purpose" the commissioner
goes on, "to detail three of the skilled
herdsmen and thirty trained reindeer to
the Yukon region the present summer. II
this arrangement is carried out, as in
structed, an important experiment will be
in progress during the coming year at
the gold mines"
The plan of the bureau has been 20 ar
range a reindeer express connecting towns
in line from Bering Strait TO Kadiak
Island. Superintendent of Reindeer Sta
tions Kjelmann last September proved the
practicablity of this by making trial
trip on this route. Two OF his party were
able to take the steamer at Katmai, sail
ing to Sitka in March. This arrangement
once completed il will not be impossible
for business companies in San Francisco
and other cities to hold communication
with their whaling fleets during the win
ter north of the Arctic circle.
h,, AL f,,
twenty day schools under the supervision
of the interior department with twenty
three teachers and an enrolment of 1857
pupils. A public school was opened at
Circle City in the Yukon mining district
but the departments agent writing from
ST Michaes says he Is afraid he will be
forced 20 discontinue 1t because of exodus
of the city's population into the region
nearer the recently discovered mines.
The influx of miners into the Yukon has
caused a demand for reindeer for freight
ing purposes. In the original plan for the
purchase and distribution of reindeer ref
erence was had to have a new food supply
for the famishing Eskimo of the Bering
sea and Arctic ocean region but it is now
found that reindeer are as essential to
white men as the Eskimos.
The wonderful Yukon placer mines are
situated twenty-five to 100 niles from the
greater stream Provisions brought from
the south and landed on the bank of the
river are with difficulty transported to the
mines. Last winter mongrel dogs for
transportation purposes cost from 800 to
$500 each, and freight charges from the
river to the mountain range from Is to
20 cents per pound. The trained reindeer
make in day two or three times the dis
tance covered by dog teams and have the
advantage that they can use the abundant
moss as food

strikers VIII Not Go Back to Work
at the Old scale of Prices.
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 23.-This evening
National President Ratchford made the
following statement:
We met and heard the purpose Of the
conference explained In coming here
was ignorant Of its object, excepting as
it was explained by President Dolan. lie
said 1t was 10 be an interstate conference
and that was my impression.
When / heard Col. Rend talk In the
meeting ! learned that the object was to
submit matters to arbitration. Being fav-
orable to arbitration and also interstate
conference myself, ! decided that both
objects were worthy and during the ar
ternoon we discussed both of them
There is feeling of opposition on the
part OF the operators against an later
state conference for certain reasons The
feeling among them Is In favor Of arbi-
tration. To this we have no objection
We favor arbitration. but insist that this
question, If arbltrated, must be arbltrat-
ed upon the basis of living wages Fur
ther than this We will not go. The oper-
ators, on the other hand, believe that
work should be resumed at the old prices
pending arbitration at a retroactive rate.
We struck against the old price because
II did not afford our miners living and
we will not resume work at any price
less than the price demanded, which IL
the lowest possible rate that men can
labor for.
