MAY COME
BOWlers Expected to Come
 From Juneau

The Skagway bowlers are expecting an opportunity to meet team of crack players from Juneau. Arrangements have been underway for some time looking toward a meeting and it is be- lieved that they have been completed. A team of five Al alley-sharps were more than half expected to arrive on the Jefferson. They did not appear, however, and they are now being looked for on each ship that comes up the canal.
 The Skagway bowlers are contem- plating the formation of a tournament of two-men teams from the Elks Club. A popular business house has offered to donate a suitable trophy for such a contest. The organ. izattOp of the teams is hanging fire on account, probably, of the delay in the games for the Kern trophy, though il is likely that it will not be much longer put of on that account. Thers is nothing to prevent both contests from coming of at the same t-me.

House Leader Objects to
 Alaskan Resolutions

Serene E. Payne, the floor leader of the majority in the house of represen- tatives blocked an attempt on the part of Representative Cushman, of Wash ingtou, to secure the printing of the memorial adoptei by the resent Alas kan convention in the Congressional Record. Mir. Cushman asked for unan- imous consent to have it inserted. Mir. Payne promptly objected. Represen- tative Gaines, of Nashville, Tenn and others joined in reques ing MT. Payne to withdraw his objection, but he was obdurate. ......
 MT. Cushman and several others have agreed to incorporate the memor- ial in speech and by that means to get it in the Record.
 The memorial was printed in the Congressional Record by the senate at the request of Senator Piles,

AFTER GANG
Shellgame JacksOn'S School and Reindeer Mismauaged

Washington, Jan. 21-Gross misman- agement of the school system in Alaska like that of the domestic reindeer busi' ness, is charged by Special Agent Churchill in his report of the extra ordinary investigation made by him him last summer. Complaint Is free quently hoard that the funds at the dis. posal of schools outside of incorporated towns in Alaska are insufficient, and such a condition is officially admitted.
 It appears from the Churchill report, however, that money is being wasted in certain localities. \ It is shown that the education of each child in certain schools costs hundreds of dollars every year, when the per capita expense ought to be much smaller.
 As in the reindeer report, Mir. Churchill is especially severe in his condemnation of certain so-called mis- sionaries who are receiving salaries from the government as school teachers In some cases, which he specifically men, tions, the teachers are ridiculously in- competent or shamefully indifferent; and the situation is aggravated by the coincidence that these very teachers are usually those who are overpaid.
 
 Secretary Hitchcock will take steps to reform the school system. The fact that the agent for education in Alaska lives in the city of Washington, thous- sands of miles from the schools which be is supposed to supervise, is regarded as a deplorable condition.

STANDING BY THE COTTON ASSO-

The farmers of Lancaster
county are certainly doing their
part toward helping the price of

evidently determined not to sell
cotton at present prices. Only
fifty-two bales were sold on this
market this week. All signs
point to concert Of action on the

pATRONIZE HOME ENTERPRISES

Very few, if any, OF Lancas
ter's business men are so incon.
siderate of their towns interests
AS TO have their job work done
elsewhere. AS a matter of fact,
so far as we personally know,
every merchant here believes in
patronizing home industries OF
all kinds.
If there are any exceptions
they have not as yet come under
our observation. The following 9
lesson of a shipping tag how
ever, taken from the Augusta
Chronicle, is we'll worth reading
in this connection, bearing as it
does an excellent moral:
During the past few days
there has been repeated in
Augusta business narrative Of
some interest-one that certain
ly has a moral.

house canvasscd he city in ques'
of shipping tag orders His house
IS wholesaler ard a tag special

and at inviting pIices-pr.ces
shat Augusta printers can not
approximate without sustaining
loss.

early in the day, in the store of

chant, he met with defeat.
Your prices are inviting," he
was assured, land your shipping
tags are excellent, but inasmuch

"A u & u people-including
Augusta printers-I am con.
strained to buy my tags in Au
gusta, though for them | may
have to pay 80 per cent more
than | would hare to pay you. :"
An Augustian in the store at
the time heard this statement OF
khe hardware man to the drum
mer and repeated it along Broad
way. Those 10 whom he told
it, told it to others. With the
comment, "The position is
right, " others followed the hard
ware mans lead and one store
keeper who had given a tag
order to the visiting salesman
cancelled it.
Shipping tags are small item
IN a cOmmunity's makeup. But
when we all arrive at the same
way Of thinking and adopt the
principle of the course Of ac.
ton of this hardware man, Au.

on a period of more rapid growth
and commercial progress will
have been given an impetus
which will know no halting.

dorsed, or the Ravsor Mannin e

neither measure 6iSturbs the
status of counties that have held
elections under the Blice law.
Lancaster having decided last
October 10 try prohibition, it will
be permitted 10 continue the eX
pertinent for at least two years,
unless, of cour.e, the bill that
finally prevails shall be amend
ed before its enactment into law
The leading features Of the
Morgan bill have already been
published in The News. After
abolishing the state dispensary
it provides for county dispen
sary or prohibition, as a county
may decide, except in the case
of Charleston, where high license
may be adopted, as fully explain
ed in a recent issue of The
News. The Raysor- Manning
bill, which the Senate will no
doubt undertake to substitute
for the Morgan bill, provides for
continuation of the present
disponsary system with new
features added with the view of
eliminating graft and corruption
generally in the purchase O!
liquors ard in the management,
Of the state institution.
What the Legislature shall do,
remains 10 be seen, of course,
but the present Indications are
that the main features Of the
Morgan bill will eventually be-
come the law Of the state; in
other words, that the dispensary
as state institution will become
a thing Of the past. One of the
most significant straws pointing
to such result is the fact that the
prohibitionists in the legislature
appear to be cooperating with
the supporters Of lhe Morgan
measure as against the stale dis
pen8ary system. The prohibi.
tionists have probably come to
the conclusion that half a LOAF
is better than no loaf at all; that
since they cannot secure the
simon pure article-prohibition
1t is the part of wisdom to take
what they regard as the next
best thing to it-county option
as between dispensary and pro-
hibition.
