CLASS ROOMS NEEDED
The Question of Establishing A School In Northern Part of City Discussed and the Situation Re- lieved By Creating Another Mixed Grade Class

The special meeting of the School trustees last evening to consider the proposition to start d school north ol Twelfth street developed the fact that the present facilities are quite made qratc, and that very soon SkagWay must have more schoolrooms and more teachers. A move in this direction was made by the board unanimously voting to add another classroom.
 The question of establishing a school in the northern part of the city is one which the members of the board have informally had to deal with for some time, but last night it came up official ly by the presentation of a numerously signed petition from residents north of Twelfth street, asking the establish mcnt of q school for the accommoda ton of children living out there Ac, Companying the petition was a state. mcnt showing 44 children, ranging in age from 0 to 10 years, tributary to the proposed school. 10 oi whom. chiefly on account of the great dis tanCe. are not now receiving inStruc- tion. The others attend at the present buildings, and some of them show re markable courage in coming long dis tanCeS in all sorts of weather
 The board manifested desire tr grant the petition, but when it came to figuring the number of pupils available there for any given grade an obstacle was encountered X primary grade could probably be had, but the ad- vdncement of the remainder is oi such various degrees that not more than two could be had to a class, which would necessitate more classes than one tt acher could handle. The question will he disposed of at a subsequent meet ing. but in view of the coming good weather and Shortncss of the term it is not thought the school will be ere ated.
 While the plethora of children in the North End was being clucdatcd upon. several of the teachers who were there in, ectcd the idea that their rooms were greatly overcrowded and that if addi tlonal quarters were to be provided they should be relieved SO that they could do more efficient work This brought up general discussion of the school situation and the universal opin- lor was that the new building is abso- lutcly necessary to accommodate all the pupils offered. Mir. WinsloW strongly urged keeping expenses down IS much as possible so that all money available can be put into the structure.
 Upon motion of Director Ford il was voted to take the partitions out ol the room in the rear of Mrs. Rosen- berg's school, near the Daily Alaskan office, and establish another grade.
 The new room will be fitted this week and opened Monday Miss Casswell was engaged as teacher at salary of $Sc month The highest grade in Mrs. Roscnbergs room. and the low est grade in Miss Forsyth's will be transferred to the new room
 Some pupils will be taken from Mrs. Schonberger'S room and given to Miss Forsyth This new adjustment will give each teacher about 10 pupils. Judge WilcoXen presided.

Ottawa Officials Will Be Badly Fooled In Their Efforts to Close Its Free and Easy Mayor Grant As Chief Executive

J. Harmon Caskey. an oldtime news paperman of Seattle and for two years manager of the Dawson News, owned by Roediger x Mcintyre, arrived oI' yesterday mornings train.
 "On the way said he yesterday, Il saw by a Daily Alaskan that since left the Ottawa officials have given the whisky men until the Ist of June to shut up shop. l am pleased to say that they need not trouble themselves any further concerning the local manage ment of Dawson.
 When the prohibitory dispatch was received there was no time before the instructions became operative to do anything toward overcoming interfer- ence from Ottawa.
 Now it is different. Long before the Ist oi June arrives q proposition to incorporate Dawson will be sub mitted to the people for vote, md the affirmative will carry. Heretofore all of the big company managers have opposed incorporation. but now they take q different view of the case.
 Tt is my judgment that exMayor Grant of Victoria will be the first mayor elected in Dawson, and l pre- dict for him a clean and efficient ad- miniStratiOn.

A reporter of the Daily Alaskan as yesterday shown the plans which s. F.

 The general plan Is parallelogfam, S8 feet long and 7o feet wide, and "on- templates building of two stories and basement The entrance is designed to be at ground level. so that the little ones in the wintry days will not be en- dangered by climbing slippery steps. Entrance is effected through eithcr ,i1a of a double vestibule, swinginy dct rs from which lead to stairway nine fce' wide going to the spacious corrido. on the main floor. of this corridor are the four classrooms. Each is req ed by one direct entrance, and anot CT through a cloakroom, thus allowing the pupils in the morning to dsD o! their wraps before going in.

 The building is intended to be heat ed by two large hot air furnaces A brick stack, 3x5 feet. for each furnace IS called for Inside of each chimney will be put one made of steel to carry of the smoke, and the remaining space will be used for ventilation. Branch vcntilators from each of the classrooms will be run to these main shafts.

An ingenious scheme to facilitate the heating of the building in the morning Is planned for by first closing the sup, ply source and then exhausting the air.

The Company's Stores Are Well Stocked With Provisions Save at Circle City Where There Is a Shortage. and Flour Is Selling At Thirty Dollars a Hundred

The delayed train from White Horse yesterday brought Frank T, Trempe among others MT Trcmpe is agent at Rampant for the Seattle Yukon Transportation Company, and has been such for two years. He IS just from Rampant and going to Seat tie with advices for his employers.
 MT. Trempe started from Rampant with his dog team and outfit. on Feb ruary II. when the thermometer reg istered nearly 6o degrees below. He had cold weather for the first week of the trip. He passed some people go- ing to Nome from Dawson, and later a party bound to the koyukuk

 Regarding the supply of provisions at the various upper Yukon points, Mr.. Irempe said:
 "There is Sui1icency of everything in the company's stores at Rampant. but at Fort Yukon and at Circle City found shortage and prices are rang ing upward strongly, flour at the lat ter place being held at $50 per hur dred. However. do not think there will be any serious difficulties arising from that source.
 There is considerable talk down the river of the diggingS on the Kosko- quinn river, which emptieS into Bristol bay, but thus far only about 25 persons have gone there this winter from St. Michael. There were several stampedes to this district from Nome last sum mcr, but nothing was found.

since, where Af-poo-dle, Kiowa boy
of ten, was pupil. He had hand
some sister with whom an old Indian
was in love. The Indian visited the
school and was most solicitous in his
attentions to Af-poo-dle, giving him
many attractive presents, such as
beads and brass jewelry, that APP
pealed to his vanity. When Af-poo-dle
inquired of the donor what present
he could make him in return, the
willy old Indian unhesitatingly re-
piled: Give me your sister, Ti-i-ti,
for squaw; me heapee rich heapee
good brave" The boy promised. He
was the only son, and his word was
law in the wigwam. Accordingly
few weeks later the Indian led Ti-i-ti
to his tepee to be his squaw This
was a cold-blooded transaction, as is
usually the case when women are
sold.
The second way is more romantic
and more in accord with the civilized
fashion. In this case the love-sick
swain gets his sister to see the young
squaw he admires and to arrange
clandestine meeting. If his affection
be returned the squaw keeps her APP
pointment, and he happily leads her
to his wigwam, for clandestine
meeting constitutes marriage with
these semisavages.
The third and least practiced way
sovors still more of the romantic. In
this case the enamored buck makes
fastdious toilet in which beads and
brass jewelry of all descriptions fig
ure conspicuously, decorates and
paints in many colors his best steed,
and, like conquering Alexander,
rides proudly in front of the tepee
where his adored is engaged in some
mental task He slackens pace as he
nears the wigwam and endeavors to
put his soul into his eyes as he re-
CARDS her. She timidly bushes as she
gazes upon the handsome brave, and
her eyes droop. That is sufficient an
swer for him. That night, after all
have retired, he takes his flute. goes
near her wigwam and pours out
few doleful notes to express his
hearts yearning. Size comes out to
him, and beneath the midnight stars
they plight their faith Then she is
proudly led to his wigwam to be

POSING FOR PICTURES.
Wear When n Really Good Pho
tOgrnph Is Desired.

Photography as an art has attained
such a standard Of excellence that no
pains are 100 infinite to enhance its eff
fectivenes While the primary OBJ
ject in any likeness, is to portray the
features, the pose, the individual, yet
it cannot be gainsaid that much of our
pleasure in viewing the countenance,
however perfectly depicted, may be
seriously married by the unhappy selec-
ton of an unbecoming gown.
1t is a mistake to wear ones richest
and most sumptuous costume instead
of one whose design, being less pro-
nounced, is, consequently, less apt to
look grotesque a few seasons hence.
Certain materials are risky. to say the
least, in photograph. Satins or silks
with high luster throw lights and
shadows which are harsh and uneXpect-
ed in reproduction. Translucent fab
RIGS are by far to be preferred. Softly
folding, easily draped, and not pro-
nounced are crepes, either silk or wool,
and chiffon. Tulle, nets and such lace
like transparent effects depend so
much upon the materials which are
used as foundations that, in general
way, they are to be considered as Sec
ondary in Importance, although as dra-
peries they may be styled par excel
lence. Stiff, starchy effects are to be
strictly tabooed unless it be the trans
lucence of swiss or organdie,
Stripes and large patterns in lace
or silk are failures, big Drocades or
plaids something to make one weep,
especially the photographer who fore
sees u demand for second sittings when
the proofs are shown. Velvet and fine
furs are especially happy selections
and such accessories as handsome OPP
era cloak or long ostrich fan are
deemed happy adjuncts with full
dress.
Gloves should always be worn with
street toilets which include hat, but
since glace glove would be shiny one
of undressed kid is far better. With
very light colors the hand should al
ways be lifted or placed against a
background darker than itself since
the pink dress will naturally take dark
er than the light fabric
Jewelry adds much to an evening
dress especially in the way of orna-
ments about the top of low-cut cor
sage. Pearls photograph exquisitely in
made-up jewelry, in necklaces or in
long chains. which may be brought up
and knotted once or festooned from a
single ornament in front of the cor
sage.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Cnre of the Eyeglasses.

Spectacles and eyeglasses are much
benefited by a bath now and then-not
a mere wiping or rubbing with chamois
or tissue paper, but real good bath.
The process is simple. Have basin
OF warm water, cake of soap, and a
soft tooth or nail brush; put the
glasses into the basin and leave them
to soak for little while, then apply
soap freely and rub off with brush.
After this give them polish with any
ordinary tooth powder, and finally
clean them with tissue paper. Occa-
sionally a few drops of ammonia in
the water in which they are given
the bath will be found excellent

INDIAN LOVE-MAKING.
Strange Marriage Customs Prevail
Among the kiOwns, One of the
semi-Savnge Tribes.

The Kiowa Indians have queer mar
rage customs. There are three ways
of getting married among these semi
savage redskins. The first and most
commonly practiced way of securing
a wife is buying her outright, or trad
ing for her as if she were a horse or
COW. As is common among most
heather tribes where woman is con-
sidered mere toy or slave, she is not
consulted, but must be ready to fill
any contract that her father or
brother sees fit to make.

Poultry Breeding.

The causes of failure is the poultry
business are always readily discov-
cred. The experienced, careful, sys-
tematic breeder does not fail. The
inexperienced, careless breeder will
always fail. BY inexperience we mean
to include those who know something
about fowls and who have bred them
on small scale, but branch out large
ly. 1t is one thing to manage a flock
of several hundred, not to say thou
sands. Diseases are more difficult to
prevent in large focks. And the care
of such flocks is much more difficult
than the care of small ones, for we
must depend upon hired help, and that
is not always reliable in such delicate
work as poultry requires. Poultry
breeding should be entered into on a
small scale and the business be en-
larged only as rapidly as we find our
selves thoroughly familiar with tho
details of extensive poultry breeding,
