DENIES that

Delegate Says Stories Are Not True
and That Her Majesty Is Kept
Busy With Personal Matters.

"Her Majesty Queen Lilluokalani IL

vertiser had II Saturday." said
Prince Kalaianole the Delegate to
Congress, when interviewed this
morning IN the Kapiolani building.
Evidently dissatisfied with the way
the newspapers are talking about pc.
litical matters, especially when the
Queens name Is mentioned. the Dele
gate this morning scored the morning
paper with having published an ac.
count which had no foundation what
ever, so far as the Queens position
Is concerned.
81 know for a fact that the Queen
has other matters to require her at.
tention than politics." continued he.
She prefers to live In quiet and In
peace for the rest Of her days. ] only
wish that the newspapers would leave
her alone, so far as politics is con.
cerned."
Other than Her Majesty's affairs,
the Delegate made no comments as to
the probable candidate for Delegate
to Congress. He sens to know that
the newspapers are writing matters
which come under the jurisdiction of
the Delegate, In order that he, as a
Delegate, may say something which
would cause the public to know how
and wha, he intends to do at the
coming campaign. He said he has
nothing to say about the future can.

equally welcome to call on her as

WILL FOUND NEW TOWN
Croisan Company Plats McNary Farm
on New Railroad Between
Dallas and Salem.

The certainty that the Dallas-Salem
branch Of the Salem, Falls City &
Western railroad will be put through
this summer, is resulting in awakened
activity in the real estate Of eastern
Polk county, especially in the sections
through which the new road will run.
On the McNary farm in Polk county,
the Oroisan Company is plating out
the site for a new town, concerning
which an article in recent issue of
the Salem Statesman says:
1.-THE townsite is McNary, about six
miles west Of Salem. 1t is on the old
McNary farm. 1t stands high and
dry and we'll drained, at the junction
OF the Independence and Salem Dallas
wagon roads, and near the bank OF
the LaCreole.
''There will be several blocks Of the
new townsite. The Croisan Company
is now doing the plating and it will
be dedicated within few days. 1t is
to be named for Alexander McNafy,
an Oregon pioneer of 1916.
"The lots in McNary will soon be
for sale, and the town will have sta
ton of the Salem, Falls City & West
ern. There will be warehouses,
churches and schools, and later nc
doubt stores will be opened, shops
established, and all the benefits Of a
thrifty town will be at hand,
"That 1t will be thrifty is vouch
safed by the fact that the surrounding
country in every direction Is singularly
rich, and the large tracts are being
divided into. small holdings, so tina
McNary will ere long be in the centel
of one great orchard and garden.

WILL SETTLE SCHOOL QUESTION
Voters Will Meet Wednesday, May IS,
to Provide Means For Securing
More SchOOlroOm.

Wednesday, May 10, is the date OF
the special school meeting called by
the school board of District Number 2,
for the purpose of making arrange
ments to raise funds for the building
of new schoolroom to accommodate
the increase in the number Of pupils
attending in the district.
The rapid growth in the population
of Dallas during the past few years,
resulted in a noticeable crowding of the
pupils in attendance even three or
four years ago. Although in the
spring months, the number of pupils
dropping out, resulted in a falling
off in the attendance which made
the CONGESTION in the rooms less MOTTO
able, the demand for more school
room" became steadily more insistent.
Last Spring it was finally decided that
the erection either of new building
or of a supplemental building at least,
could be no longer put off.
The matter was delayed however,
during the summer, and was finally
compromised late last Fall, by the
erection of a small temporary build
ing just south of the main building,
for the accommodation Of the two
lower grades.
This addition temporarily relieved
the situation, but during the middle
months of the term just now closing,
when the attendance was at its maxi
mum, it became clear that even these
two new rooms would be insufficient
to meet next years demands, since the
natural growth Of the population of
the district combined with the addi-
ton of the new high school grades,
will still further increase the number
of pupils registered and in attendance
next year.
At present the attendance is not suf-
ficiently large to make evident the
need of additional schoolroom, but
knowing that the need will make
itself evident next year, the school
board is preparing to meet it. To that
end an election was called on May l.
for the purpose of voting on propos'
ition to bond the district for $4,000
with which to buy ground and erect a
new schoolhouse.
The plan was defeated by small
majority, the general opinion appear
ing to be that the burden was heavier
than the taxpayers were warranted ir
assuming. A strong objection alsc
prevailed against the idea of voting
$4,000. or indeed any sum, for the
erection of building, the plans ant
cost of which were indeterminate.
The failure of the bonding PROPOSE
ton to carry, leaves the district II
exactly the same condition as before
the requirement for new schoolroon
being still as urgent as ever and M
method of supplying the demand hav
ing been reached. For the purpose o
settling the question finally, the meet
ing to be held next Wednesday hal
been called.
At that time it is purposed to discuss
the matter thoroughly in all its phase
and endeavor, IL possible, to arrive a
solution of the problem, which will
at once satisfy the requirements Of tn
school situation and be satisfactor
to the majority of the voters and tax
payers OF the district.

the most interchangeable hunters of big
game in the world he has had thrill

relating some of his hunting expert

for the dash for the north pole which
has been SO successful.

DR.. Cook S North
Pole Trip

DR. FREDERICK A. COOK, the
courageous explorer who has
~ gained undying fame by his
discovery of the north pole, is
resident of Brooklyn. For years he
has given his attention to arctic ex-
plorations and in 1912 was surgeon
of the Peary arctic expedition and in
1919 surgeon of the Belgian arctic
expedition. He has received numerous
decorations from the geographical So
cieties of Europe for his research and
writings in the polar field.
Dr. Cook started on his present expe-
dition in the summer of 1907, sailing
from North Sydney. c.. B., on board

INSURANCE FOR THE POOR.

President of Prominent Society Tells
of New Plan at Dinner. -
A prominent life assurance society
closed three days convention with a
dinner at the Waldorf hotel in New
York the other night, at which 900 Off
Gals and agents were present. The
president of the society presided. In
his address of welcome he spoke brief
ly of a departure in life insurance
Which his society hopes to take up
namely. system by means of which
poor people may be able to own their
own homes. In referring to the new
scheme the president said:
1t is our intention. IL 1t can be worked
out-and we have no doubt that 1t can
be-so to arrange that men and women
of moderate means with only their daily
or monthly wage. which in the majority
of cases is so small as to preclude their
accommodating a great competence, may
by the means of life insurance as prac-
ticed by the society purchase their own
homes and by series of small monthly
payments provide their own roofs for
their families while at the same time they
provide against the loss Of their homes
in the event of early death.
Insurance by the state is neither desir-
able nor necessary in this land OF the
greatest life insurance corporations the
world has ever known. There Is no work
of more Importance. no service Of higher
merit, to be performed than that the one
of these great companies OF the United
States which has done most in the extern
sion of life insurance should take the
lead in this honorable work. In no other
way can 1t so justify its mission and
render better account of itself than by
pioneering in this field. Therefore 1 am
prepared to announce to you that we are
carefully considering and, unless prevent
ed by the powers that be or obstacles not
now seen, the future OF the society will
embrace this very important work.
