toned. if We are to attain pre-eminence In
stead of remaining. We are. in the rear

Labelling of Packages Of Lard.

DIR. Woodward health ofser of the Dis
trct in response to request from
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger stated that I'M
der the law they will not be required to
label packages of compound lards showing
the percentage of various ingredients con-
tanned therein.
'The department has. however, consist
emily opposed the use of the term COM
pound" the health officer said holding
that 1t was misleading. inasmuch 1t was
liable to convey to the mind of the pur-
chaser the fact that the article for sale
was not a substitute or mixture, but lard
of greater strength and purity than usual
If, however, the federal food and drug act
I'm this District on the LIST of January per-
mits the use of label describing lard
mixtures or substitutes lard compounds.

raise no objection to the use of such labels
between now and January 1.

MUCH TO DO IN ALASKA.
Lecture by an Officer of Bureau of
Education.


That the bureau of education of the
United States government has accomplished
much and yet has much to do in Alaska
was the statement made by DIR. William
Hamilton of the bureau of education during
lecture last evening in the assembly room
of the Y. M. C. A. building, entitled I'm
Alaskan Waters" The lecture was illus
trated by lantern slides from pictures
nearly all of which were taken by Dr.
Hamilton during frequent trips to Alaska
in the past ten years
Dr. Hamilton outlined a trip starting
from Seattle. Wash, through the inland
passage to Fort Wrangle. Juneau, to the
present capital. Sitka; the former capital
Skagway. along the White Pass and Yukon
railroad back to Valdez. around the Aleu-
tan Islands to ST. Paul Island, Nome.
Cape Prince of Wales and Point Barrow.
He described briefly the various industries
Of the country. the gold mining, the salmon
packing the seal gathering and other minor
activities. A fact not generally known re-
garding the salmon industry. he stated.
was that nearly all the work in the can
ming factories is done by Chinese, they be-
ing employed because Of their dexterity.
In the educational work. the speaker said,
fftyone schools have been established,
chiefly along the shores and waterways of
the country. The schools and the missions
of the various UNCONVENTIONAL churches, he
added. are working together to lift the
natives from their SQuaiOr ana ignorance
to true Christian civilization. with all the
term implies. The educational work is
carefully systematized now and complete
reports are made by the teachers to the
bureau here
One of the industries encouraged by the
educational bureau. it was stated, Is the
raising of reindeer by the Esauimaux. The
education. it was found. would be failure
unless the person educated was given some
means of livelihood: and in order to pro-
mote commercial habits among the people
of the frozen north. DIR. Hamilton pointed
out, the government has undertaken to
start the best Of them in business. There
are now a good many self-respecting and
prosperous Esauimaux business men who
have built up a business in RENDERS
One of the views shown by DIR. Hamilton
was that of the latest island acquisition to
United States territory. a smoking island
raised out of the sea several months ago.
The revenue cutter upon which he had
quarters cruised near the strange island
and DR.. Hamilton succeeded in getting a
very good photograph of it. Some coun-
tries buy territory. some fight for 1t, while
others have 1t thrust upon them, the speak
er remarked.
