 A report which seems to have con- siderable foundation in fact, comes through the Indians that one of their people made a big strike of gold ore at Sealevel last week. It is said that ledge is Il big one.
 Upon the strength of the report a number of citizen Indians have located claims there and while the matter is not given out to the public enough has leaked through to warrant tho be- lief that something unusual has hap pened over there recently.

My hat went up in the air with a wild hurrah when 1 read the very strong article by "A Parent" in a recent issue of the Miner. You bet, let's have a good school and the best teachers. Cheap teachers are money thrown away. Cut the school term, if we must, but don't cut the teachers.
 We want a permanent population which is another term for families. The best attraction for families is a good school. If we have poor or merely medium school the head of the family will stay up here by his lone- some. leaving his family down below where they can get a public school and high school education and he will be sending out of town over one half of the pennies he earns here. Three such men in the course of a year would send away a good deal more than we would save by reducing the school appropriation. We need our dollars here pretty muchly and we cannot afford to invite man to send our filthy lucre away from us.
 Another way to economize in the school business is to elect qualified school directors. Qualified duesn t mean popular and it doesn't mean quality. If a qualified man appears who is not only popular but has quail ity that would be great. My hat goes off to the self made man. All hail to the callous handed laborer. But just because of this, I'm no fool. l would not think of putting a man, ig- norant of the laws of finance in as director of one of my banks. l haven't any banks but suppose did. Sure, I know that some laborers are better all around men than some bank presidents but that's no sign they can run a bank I'm sure you see my point. To elect bricklayGr to be bank director would be poor economy in most, cases.
 Suppose they elected me manager Of the Citizens Electric Light, Water and Power Co. Sure I'd accept but I feel pretty sure that I'd owe them something besides my salary. And l really have sneaking idea about electricity and water power.
 I'm sure don't need to pound it in. Just let me whittle down the point little and you drive it in. A school director ought to be man ed ucated in school. He ought to have at least high school education, and if he is college man, that would be bully. He ought to be man interest," ed in tine progress of education and should know something about it. Just because he is shrewd business man does not make him good school di- rector, but 1 sincerely hope that these educated people we are going to elect have business ability. If they haven't, we'd better not elect them. There's a wagon load of educated men in Ketchikan, who are shrewd, business like, saving and interested in the cause of education.
 Now, mind you, am in no one's band wagon. I am blowing no one's horn and no one $ paying me for this. However if any one insists, small con- tributions vii be reluctantly and gratefully received.
 Beneath all this josh, there is very important truth. If you missed it, read this thing again Qf you can stand it) and see if it doesn't express your feelings. My name is
 Legion.

= There are times when 'the iron en- ters one's soul.
 There are some things meaner than o hers. Perhaps one of the meauest is the habit of knocking, and that the knocker is almost omnipresent, is stating it mildly. No matter what is on foot there is always some one who refuses to join or, joining, draws back because the wor k isn't done his way.
 If some way could be devised where by the knocker would always be obliged to receive the recoil of his own knock, the sentiment of justice might be satisfied, but usually the ones who do the work get the knocks and little credit.
