He said: "Doctor 1 have become regular at tendant at Sunday school and enjoy it very much. am also very fond of base ball and usually go to the game every Sunday afternoon. However, though I enjoy them both, l am satisfied the two are diametrically opposed, be- cause the first song that greets my ears at Sunday school in the morning is Stand upi Stand up! for Jesus sake,' and the first thing hear at the ball game in the afternoon is, Set downl Set down! for Christ's sake!'-Rileys Rounder

The Fifty!eighth Congress in its sec- ond session passed an act gro provide for the construction and maintenance of roads, the establishment and main tenance of schools, and the care and support of insane persons in the district of Alaska, and for other purposes" approved January 27, 1905, by the provisions of which the govern or of Alaska, as ex-oficio superintend- ent of education, was placed in charge of schools for white children and children of mixed blood who lead a civilized life throughout Alaska: ,.

visited the schools at Barrow, Vain wright, Icy Cape, Kivalina Kotzebue, Deering, Shismaref, Wales, Teller, Golofnin, Unalakleet, St. Michael, Gambell, and Unalaska, and the rein deer stations at Barrow, Kivalina, Kotz- ebue, Deering, Wales, Teller, Golofnin, Unalakleet, and Gambell At the above places he examined into the con- dition of the public school buildings and Government property and held conferences with the teachers, superin- tendents of reindeer stations, herders, apprentices, and all other persons in- terested in educational matters in Alaska.
 It is proposed to continue Mir. W. T. Lopp as resident local superintendent of schools and reindeer stations for northwestern Alaska, and Mir. w. A. Kelley as resident local superintendent of schools for southern Alaska. MT. Lopp's duties are to supervise the schools and reindeer stations at Bar row, Wainwright, Icy Cape, Point Hope, Kivalina, Kotzebue, Deering, Shishmaref, Wales, Teller, Gambell, and Sinuk, making frequent visits of inspection throughout the year as weather and distance will permit, to- gether with such other duties as may be assigned to him from time to time. This district includes more than 1000 miles of the coast region bordering the Arctic Ocean and Boring sea.
 The superintendent of schools aud reindeer stations in western central Alaska is Mir. Axel E. Karlsen, whose supervision extends over the schools and reindeer stations at Unalakleet, Golofnin, and Koserefsky. MT. Karl sens duties in western central Alaska are similar to those of MT. Lopp in northern Alaska.
 Mir. William A. Kelly's district em- braces the g schools in southern Alaska. The distance between the most eastern and the most western schools in his district is more than 1000 miles. He is expected to visit the more remote schools to the west of Sitka at least once quarter. On these visits MT.

Karlsen are in constant correspondence with this bureau re- garding the progress and needs of the schools, the efficiency of the teachers, and measures to be adopted to promote the interests of the schools.-State- ment of the Commissioner of Education.

It is soberly announced that one of the attractions at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Fair will be the original draft given Russia in payment of the pur- chase price Of Alaska. It goes without saying that the draft is no present good, having been cashed and cancelled years ago-consequently it will be safe even in Seattle.-Ketchikan Mining News.
 Alaskans are usually meek and long suffering, but occasionally those who have lived under the banner of freedom get mad and howl. The following from the Ketchikan Mining News, is along that line; "By divine permission of the authorities at Washington, the proprietor of the hotel at Hadley will be permitted to reopen his bar and run it in connection herewith, subject to supervision and report by the forestry inspector. And yet there are those who try to think that Alaskans are possessed of all the rights which legitimately accrue to free people.
 Speaker Cannon, of the national house of representatives, is not friend of Alaska. That has been known in this district for some time. He was opposed to giving the district a dele gate to congress. We got the delegate because the speaker was kept busy with trying to hold his seat on the throne as house dictator from which the vigorous assaults of the insurgents came near dislodging him. He had not time to veto Alaskan legislation.
 Walter Clark, the Post-Intelligencer's Washington correspondent recognizes the hostile attitude of Speaker Cannon toward Alaska and he hints at cause for it. In recent dispatch he says:
 Speaker Cannon's attitude toward Alaska and the Alaskans is to many persons a puzzle. In the summer of 1905 he made trip to the southeastern part of the territory, but he was occu- pied during the steamer trip and he spent no great length of time at any port. Since his return the speaker has given nobody any cause for undue ela- ton by reason of his attitude toward the various measures which have been proposed in congress for the benefit of Alaska"
 To the uninitiated it might be news to say that the matter wbich "occupi- ed" Speaker Cannon during his trip to Alaska was the North American game of draw poker.
 Does Mir. Clark surmise that Senator Hemmenway, MT. Tawney and the other lawmakers worsted the speaker that is why his recollections of the district seem so disagreeable?-Ex.

lowing schools for white children and half breeds in Alaska which had been in charge of the Bureau of Education, passed from under its control at the close of the fiscal year June 30, 1905: Afognak, Chignik, ElIamar, Haines, Hope, Kenai, Kodiak, Seldovia, Seward, Sitka (for white children), Teller City, Unalaska, Unga, and Wood Island.
 Section VII of the act mentioned above requires that the education of the Eskimos and Indians in the dis trict of Alaska shall remain under the direction and control of the Secretary of the Interior, and that schools for the Eskimos and Indians of Alaska shall be provided for by an annual ap- propriation.
 In accordance with this legislation, Congress appropriated S50,0G0to enable the Secretary of the interior to main tain schools for the natives of Alaska during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1906.
 With this sum the Bureau of Educa- tion has conducted during the year 35 public schools, with fl teachers and an enrolment of 2,l36 pupils.
 The Fifty-seventh Congress in it's second session passed an act, approved March ?, 1903, by which 50 per cent of license fees collected from unincorpor- ated towns in Alaska was paid into the United States Treasury for the use of the unincorporated sections of Alaska
 The income received from this source enabled the Secretary of the Interior to pay the current expenses of said schools, and in addition to authorize the erection of school buildings at Barrow, Copper Center, Deering, Golof- min, Haines, Icy Cape, Lliamna, Jack son, Rake, Killisnoo, Kivalina, Klawock, Klukwan, Kotzebue, Point Hope, Sha. kan, Shismaref, St. Michael, Tanana, Tee Harbor, Teller, Wainwright, Wales, and Wrangell, and to purchase build ings for school purposes at Bettles and Klinquan, making a total of 26 build ings.
 All of the above buildings have been completed with the exception of those at Icy Cape and Teller, which are in process of erection. Later in the sea son, with the establishment of new schools, it may be found necessary to erect additional school buildings.
 For the support of schools for the natives of Alaska during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, Congress has appropriated the sum of Sloo,0oo. With the additional means provided it is proposed to reopen the following schools, which were closed during the fiscal year 1906 on account of lack of funds; In northern Alaska, Bettles, Council, and Ikogmute; in southern Alaska, Unalaska, Unga, Hoonah, Douglas, Tee Harbor, Peters burg, and Juneau It is also proposed to estab- lished new schools at the following places: In northern Alaska, Icy Cape, Ogavik, Point Hope, Shismaref, and Sinuk; in the Yukon River Valley, An vik, Circle, and Tanana; in southern Alaska, Iliamna and Tatitlek.

CUTTING CASE
COMPROMISED

The case of State against Eugene
Smith and John and Bud Allen, which
was set for trial before Esquire Fariss
ii come off Tuesday was compro-
missed, Smith and the two Allen boys
paying all the costs in the case and
the doctors bill of Ray 1t will be
remembered that on the night Of Sep
TENDER 4, Ray was called out of the
operating room of Vaughn & John
sons moving picture show and was
set upon by these, three boys and was
cut up pretty badly. The trouble is
said to have grown out of the fact
that young lady by the name of
Miss Cherry King whom Smith was
said to have admired had applied for
the position as ticket seller for the
show and Ray had secured the posi-
tion for another young lady. Ray
claims that the only reason why he
compromised the case was for the
sympathy he has for Smiths father
and mother.
