 Tu. r.-en, plan is ro continue the school through the summer.

X, u. school fund a,rleuty of money ]. [, nu.u.o.. that ,cnoo. will continue until late in the fall, excepting short vacation to include the Fourth of July. Speaking Of this decision F. G. Hale of ga. ,caoo. board said this morning:
 "EEc have decided ,hat the summer season is the proper school year in Alaska. In November December and January the days are so short that early ia the afternoonevcry desk would require an electric light overit to en. able the children lo study ThisiS bad for young eyes, besides adding some, thing Co ta, expense. In the shortest days artuyiaI light would be required soon af,er2 o'clock, and even earlier on a very cloudy day.
 "Tn Alaska there is nothing to keep children out of school in the summer as is the case in the states. There is DO farm work for the big boys and scarcely any employment of any kind The weather is never hot and it appears to me the part of common sense Go have the long vacation during the short dark days of winter and hold school the rest of the year, allowing a short summer vacation including the Fourth of July"

DELEGATE BlLL
 PASSES SENATE
No Opposition to Alaska Measure Which Fixes Election
 for August
P. cs1le to I'd palIy aat0way.

By Gable 70 4Ae taAly N"'o""S'
 Washington, D. c., Feb. 2-Senator Nefson's Alaska delegate bin passed the Senate this morning without dis senting vote. Senator Lodge raised the point tha, the allowance of a ocle- oafe to the district might be construed as a promise of future statehood but Senator Allison dtsabused his mind of fear and Lodge voted for the measure.
 The question now is whether the House will pass the Nelson bill or that of Congressman gushman, already pending in the lower branch. The two are practically identical. Nelson's bill provides that the first delegate election shall be held the first Tuesday in August 1906.
 According to the Nelson iIla'i male citizen, Of the United States who shall have actually resided in the district for at least one year proceeding the election shall be entitled to vote for de'egate Co Congress, Each incorpor, a,ed town shall constitute a precinct and outside territory shall be divided into precincts by the U. s. district fudge of the district.
 Delegate Bills May Conflict
 Washington. D. C., Feb. 1-Con, gressman Cushman of Washington ant Senator Nelson of Minnesota are liable to clash over the bill to allow Alask; a delegate in Congress. Each has in troduced bill providing for the cleo ton of an Alaska delegate and eacf wants his name attached to the meas ure.
 The two bills are very similar anC it is stated that if Nelson's bill passe: l the Senate and goes to the House be fore Cushman's bill comes up Cushmar will support Nelson's measure. Or the other hand it is understood that i Cushman gets his bill through frs and it goes to the Senate, Nelson i likely to oppose it and seek to substi tute his own.
 Congressman Sulzer of New Yorl has also introduced an Alaska delegate bill, as well as one providing terri torial government for the district, bu as he belongs to the political minorit! his measures are not likely to be giyel precedence.

OREGON COMES AID GOES
Brings 190 Passengers and eco
 Tons of Freight to Seward

Brings l9O Passengers and eco
 Tons of Freight to Seward
 Steamship Oregon, Capt. OBmoa, arrived in port Tuesday afternoon, somewhat bclatcd because she was held in Prince William Sound aud the strait leading out of it thirty-six hour, by heavy weather Part of the time a blinding snow-Storm prevailed and the vessel was forty-eight hours on tue way from Fort Liscum when she might have come in twelve in fair weather.
 The Oregon brought l9O passengers to Seward. Of these lS2 were from Seattle and eight from Valdez. About sixty were frst-clasS. the remainder being laborers for the railroad, booked in the steerage. The Oregon's freight cargo for this port was GGO tons, o' which 522 tons was for the railroad company and l3S for Seward merchants. The railroad cargo was provisions and forage, no steel coming this time.
 The Oregon sailed Thursday morn ing at g O'clock for Seattle by way Of Valdez and Ellamar, and thence by the outside passage. She was booked to 20 at midnight but much more time was reoui ed to discharge her cargo than was anticipated,
 As climax to the accumulation ot hoodoos which have followed the Ore gon on her present voyage a couple of stevedores belonging to the vessel got busy in the warehouse as her lines were cast off and did not sumter out until the boat was clear of the doek. Then they travelled briSkly to the edge and set up mournful vail which re- verberated across the bay and over the townsite like the nocturnal call of a coyote and created great interest and joy among the by-standers.
 The warwhoops of the belated truck men attracted the attention of Capt. O'Brien and he ordered the engineer to shove the big steamship back to the wharf. While the task was in pro- gress he stood on the near side of the deck and warmly congratulated the misplaced employees on their enter prise. His address was similar in tone and composition to the remarks of Mississippi steamboat pilot when araft crosses his bow and was received by all of his audience except two with great delight.
 When the stevedores were annexed to the boat and she again turned south ward the captain was still too mad to say good-by to his friends on shore.

 Mr. Mcdonald says it is no trouble to go up the Youua to the mouths of the creeks while the snow is on. The snow was about two feet deep in the interior when he came out. The creeks are frozen over except at the rapids, which never freeze. The Yentna is also frozen over but it is subject to periodical overaows all through the winter.
 The ice stops the water coming down from the creeks and hacks it up until it gets high enough to run over the ice. Then it flows down over the sur face of the river ice until it spreads out thi ! enough to freeze again. This temporarily suspeuds travel over the river, usually for two or three days, but as the river runs through a flat country in it's lower course it is gener- ally easy for muSher to go around the eoverlowed portions and continue his journey on the snow along the river hanks

MORE BOATS FOR SEWARD
Seattle Papers Say Watson and
 Buchanan May Go on This Run

Seattle papers continue to agitate the question of more steamers for the run from that city to Seward, and the possibility that the Watson and Buck man. the big new vessels which Capt E. F. Caine recently brought around from the Atlantic, may go on this run is still suggested. At one time it was reported that Capt. Omar J. Humphrey, Seattle agent of the Alaska Commercial Company, had made a deal for both vessels, but itfell through temporarily. Talk of it is still in the air in Seattle.
 The imperative necessity for more tonnage to carry the increasing freight cargoes to this port is admitted but the difficulty seems to be to get the bottoms. Ocean carriers are in great demand at Seattle for several runs. Oriental cargoes are lying on the docks at Seattle awaiting their turn to be transported. Extra boats have to be chartered for San Francisco from time to time, and all Alaska is consistently bowling for better steamer service. This is leading the steamship compan- ies to get busy in the search for more and better steamers.
