According to the present con sumption of trees in the United States in the manufacture of paper pulp the visible supply will not last for more than 30 years, and as a consequence the price of paper is constantly on the rise; so much so that many of the journals of the country are clamoring to have the duty taken off of foreign timber, and thus save the home forests and reduce the price of pulp. Before any legislative action in the matter it would be we'll to take Alaska in to consideration and note its possi bilities in that direction. If a pro- tective tariff is good to promote the growth of an infant industry let a paper pulp infant be planted in Alaska and be taken care of.
 We have here millions of acres of timber of a kind suitable for the purpose, and water power sufficient for any number of pulp mills.
 Under the present law the tim Der of Alaska cannot be shipped out of the country, but with the laws suitably amended and good roads established, there is not a place within jurisdiction of the United States better suited for the manufacture of paper pulp than Alaska, and particularly the Cop per river valley.

COUNCILMEN.

Steps are now being taken to have the corporate limits of the town extended SO as to include the water front and the desirable part of the so-called reservation. It is to be hoped that this change will be accomplished, as it is of vast importance to the welfare of the town. Under present conditions several large concerns which do all of their business in the town do not pay a cent toward the running expenses of the municipality. Dur ing the past year the outside busi- ness enterprises which are directly dependent upon the citizens of town for support, paid into the general treasury $1659 in licenses. This should come to the town, and if the attempt to change the limits is successful it will. Another inn portant reason for making the change is the fact that while a ma iority of the school children now attending, reside on the reservation that section does not contribute a cent toward the maintenance of the school. Of course it is to be expected that those who have busi- ness establishments outside the limits will oppose any change, for the reason that it will make them liable for local taxes, but if they are not public spirited enough to pay their proportion of the running expenses of the town in which they do business, some method should be devised to make them do so. A tax on foreign corporations doing business within the town would accomplish this, and might, if it was made large enough, convince these parties that it would be better to be within the limits.

DEBATE
State Superintendent of Nebraska
Has Inaugurated a Plan for
Teachers Discussions

LINCOLN. Neb. Jan. 2O-State SUI
perintendent Fowler has instituted a
debating society for the county super
intendents Of the state and the debates
are to be conducted by mail. 1t Is
deemed that this work will assist the
several superintendents in administer
ing their offices and will serve 10 de-
velop a better understanding among
all concerned circular letter has
been addressed to the superintendent
outlining the scheme and naming two
subjects of debate to start with.
Written arguments OF from one to two
hundred words are requested and the
best OF these will be arranged and
published The first two subjects are:
Resolved that the transfer law
(section "A sub. 5, school laws) should
be repealed.
Resolved, that section II, sub. 4,
relative to teachers contracts, should
be repealed"
Are of Vital Interest
These two questions are Of vital in
terest to school boards and educators
In the state and it is expected that the
majority sentiment may be ascertained
and that possibly some solution of the
vexatious problems may be reached
The transfer law is measure permit
ting school children TO attend school
in other districts than their own, where
the school house in the resident district
is more than a mile and half away,
and the one In the other district is less
than that distance.
The second subject is the one which
is causing much grief generally at
present 1t refers to contracts made
with teachers to teach schools for GER
tain lengths of time. AS a rule these
contracts are not and can not be en-
forced by either contracting party, par
so when 1t Is the school board
which desires to enforce the contract
This matter frequently has been re-
ferred to In the newspapers in the ac-
counts of the war now being waged
between Cupid and the school boards
OF the larger cities on one side and the
rural school boards on the other, for
the possession of the teachers.
