School Notes
For week ending March %.


 Another sigh of relief, for the extra work of the Douglas Island Ladies' Auxiliary entertainment, for which a rart the school worked faithfully, is over; and now for the successful finish of the years work with the exhibit work additional to spur us on to extra endeavors, and a looking forward to the most interesting graduating exercises yet held on the Island.
 Miss Clark says of the English tbat the freshmen are working hard on their stories for the fair. Two or three will be illustrated by kodak pictures. The sOphomores in English have worked out history of Douglas and Tread we'll. Some of the parts arc made up, but the foundation is based on facts.
 Monday the botany class tramped to Bullion creek. The object of their walk was to see conocephalus conicum, u liYerwort, growing. The only place SO far that Miss Clark has found it is on the rocks at the entrance of the powder magazine, where it's ribbon like thallus covers the rocks. Monday the class found it covering most of the rocks in the vicinity. The class had several pictures taken on the way, one taken near Bullion creek shows the class perched on a stranded iceberg. The class found many lichen, ferns, moses and sea weeds, besides having a good time and change from the indoor school work. The Douglas members of the class were tired when they reached home. Miss Clark says that tramp like that of yesterday does much to tiX the plants in the memory of the student after studying about it in the textbook.
 Elvira Wiitanen, of Miss Smiths room, has been absent for the last week on account of sickness.
 A class society will be organized in Miss Devereaux's room this week.
 Virginia Laughlin has come back to school after few weeks stay at Tyeadwell.
 The pupils in Miss Conn's room have had a splendid attendance for the last month.
 All the rooms are getting their work ready for the fair.

What price camelias?

The attendance at the entertainment given at Natatorium hall last Saturday evening by the Ladies' Auxiliary of Douglas Island was indeed gratifying. The people of the Island turned out we'll, perhaps as much to show their appreciation of the efforts that the ladies are making as in the expectation of any special merit in the entertain ment. However, if that was the case, they were agreeably surprised, for the entertainment was far above the ordin- ary in many respects. In only one thing were the ladies disappointed. They put up S10 to the ferry company for a special boat to accommodate Juneau people and as far as known only two took advantage of it, and one of them was man from Skagway. Still the net proceeds will be sufficient to accom- plish the purpose planned, which is to properly prepare the exhibit from the Island.

A "dog poisoner" has been getting in his deadly work at Juneau, and another of similar breed has been operating at Skagway While poisoning the poor creatures is a despicable business, yet there may be "extenuating circum- stances" There are some people in al most every town in Alaska who persist in keeping dogs that are a nuisance to everybody. These dogs are never kept at homr where they belong, but are per mittea run the su eets from morning until ulght and from night until morn ing. At almost auy lime of the day you cal see more dog~ on the streets than people. We honestly believe that there is a limit to the degree of patience that should be exercised by the people of any community even in the matter of dogs.

The game of "whO's who,' in connec- tion with the appointment of federal judge for Southeastern Alaska, is still on. The name of Tom Lyons, of Ju- neau, was decided on and his friends were rejoicing, when charges were filed by Thos. Nowell As near as we can learn, Mir. Nowel asserts that Lyons zeal for bis clients in a case tried in the district court led him to commit perjury. Next we hear that Lyons name has been withdrawn and the plum will go to someone outside of Alaska. The two Juneau dailies, having cable connection with the national capital, print statements that are exceedingly contradictory. We wait with patience.

NEW INDUSTRY FOR UTAH
Gypsum to Be Transformed Into
Marble by a Chemical
Process.

Richfield May 17.-This city received a
decided addition TO its citizenship last
week in the advent of the Blckei fanny
who arrived here from Oklahoma, ana
who will make their home in this county,
where they are at present engaged IN the
erection of a mill for the manufacture OF
Keen cement J. NJ. Bickei VIII also auu
another industry to his. cement plant
which promises to be very remuneratiNe.
For years he has been busy perfecung a
process for the conversion OF gypsum INTO
marble, and he has finally succeeded IN
his efforts. BY a chemical process ne Is
able to make the finest kind of marble
with all the desired cOlOrs and veinings
This can be done with Keen cement Dut
the process known to Mr.. Bickel gives
far better results. The gypsum is sawed
into slabs of any desired shape or size
and placed In ovens where all the
moisture Is exuded. 1t is then placed IN
a chemical solution which gives 1t the
color desired. After this treatment IT IS
poIfshed and the result is as beautiful
a marble as one could wish for, and alb
solutely incapable of absorbing moisture
The quality and amount of gypsum IN
Sewer county makes this process very
practicable and the industry promises to
become a very important one.
