 In the debate last Thursday, "Re' solved, That the Present National Policy for Conserving the Natural Re sources of Alaska Is Not for the Best Interest of Alaska" the Douglas team upholding the affirmative, lost to Prof Latimer's team, who chose the negative the decision of the judges being unan' imous for the negative.
 The debate as a whole was we'll car ried out, each of the debaters acquit' ting himself creditably, showing the hard work put on the question. Special praise is due to Miss Smith, who work ed so faithfully with our debaters. Songs and yells were exchanged at in' tervals during the evening by both schools, the Juneau school being under Prof. Blake's leadership and Douglas under OIgat Anderson's.
 After the debate luncheon at the Treadwell boarding house was enjoyed by both schools and their judges. There toasts and speeches were made by representatives of both schools, and sll parted in the best of humor.

The 10th Infantry boys from Fort Seward gave their last performance 'at Natatorium hall Sunday night. The aggregation is a regular Barnum's cir, GUS for variety of wonders under one tent. While they entertain you with overtures, solos, banjo and guitar pro- auctions, tumbling, dancing, etc., the best thing is that laugh, which starts with a grin at the barber shop scene, advances to roar at the "Vegetable Compound" song, and winds up in a scream over the married mans troubles. That laugh is we'll worth the price of admission and if you don't laugh your crust is thicker than an elephants hide.

The Northwestern Developing and Mining Company is Douglas concern, incorporated under the laws of Alaska and having for it's purpose the discov- cry and operation of mines on a "grub stake basis with business principles applied. Its plans are somewhat unique, in that they contemplate an in- vesting of capital that will make the company self-sustaining.
