GIees0n is a
 Very Lively Camp

GLEEsoN, Ariz., Oct 9th, 1906.
 This camp is putting on all the ac- compartments of a lively metropolis. Two scraps in one day snd 6 narrow escape from fire is pretty fair record.
 A Mexican and an Italian had an exciting "set to in one of our saloons the Nj xican winning out, and the Italian is under arrest for assault up on a woman and carrying concealed weapons.
 Quong's restaurant was the scene of the next encounter, when a cowboy and Mexican tried conclusions after heated discussion regarding the revolutionary movement. The Mex ican made an assault with knife. while the cowboy brought a chair in to pla creating a small sized wreck and upsetting a lamp. During the confusion the Mexican left and his whereab uts are unknown
 But there are more incidents of & more pleasing sort to tell. Shortly after the last trouble quite a little company gathered for a preaching service at the Post Office (the old company store buildingA This was conducted by Rev. Benedict of Tomb stone, Mrs. Higgins playing the new organ recently purchased, and choir of 10 or l2 children helping in the singing.
 Active operations are being carried forward at the Leadville property. A new hoist, boiler and pumps are be- ing installed. Three new buildings are going up and Manager Holmes is very confident of big production in the near future.

Taku Is Hell

It is said that the natives of the far north refuse to believe the missionaries who teach that hot place can be punishment. Their idea of suffering is extreme cold. So, perhaps that is the reason that the Indians here have named the wind that blows from over the hill Paku, which means hell.
 Monday evening the Taku began blowing. increasing in severity until this morning the mercury is down to zero, or little above. Water pipes are frozen all over town, and except for an occasional man, with his coat but toned tight and his cap pulled down over his ears, the streets are practically deserted. The gusts of wind drive the cold through the smallest crack and very few houses are really war@ and comfortable. Coal is scarce. end a shortage is feared. The draymen are devoting all their time aud energy tc keeping their customers supplied with fuel. It is bitter biting cold ap6 white men and women fully under. stand the meaning of the. Indie@ word Taku.

Miss Crystal Snow, graduate of the Juneau High School. is teaching a dis trict school near Paso Robles, Cali fornia.
 In view of the fact that all of the teachers in the Douglas school, and neighboling towns likewise, are i'm. ported. the above information gleaned from the School Notes" in the Juneau Record Miner, furnishes food for re- flection. It may be that Miss Snow was possessed of more than the ordi- nary amount of brightness. Still, the "High Schools" of Douglas and Juneau will no doubt produce many another just as bright a scholar.
 It has been suggested to the local school board that the young ladies of Douglas might wish to become school teachers and if so, they should be en- eouraaed. Not encouraged to go to California for an opportunity to teach, but a way should be provided for their employment here, when qualified.
 
 The plan, as outlined, was that all ambitious young ladies be required to pass an examination in certain grades, and the one having the best marks be given position in the school say, as an assistant in the primary depart, ment. The salary paid, even if not as much as that of a regular teacher, would easily be more than is paid to the teacher in a district school in Cali fornia, and it would also be more than the same girl could command as a clerk or in some such employment.
 This plan would also furnish an in- eentive for study and careful prepara- tion, and the experience gained in the first years work would in measure qualify the young teacher for advance ment. Then the young Alaska girls would not have to go to California to seek employment, and, at the same time, system would come into use regulating the employment of teachers, that would insure the proper Qualifica- tions.
