To School Children.

A gold metal to the school boy or
girl between the ages of 10 and Is,
who writes the best composition, not
to exceed 500 words, on the repair
and maintenance of earth roads, is to
be awarded by Logan Waller Page,
director, office of the public roads,
United States department of agri-
culture, Washington, D. C. All
compositions must be submitted to
Mr.. Page before May Is, 1918, and
the medal will be awarded as soon
thereafter as the compositions can be
graded. The compositions may be
based on knowledge gained from
books and other sources, but no
quotations should be made.
After many years. experience in
dealing with the public road sitna-
tion Of the country, it is Mr.. Pages
belief that ignorance on the subject
of repair and maintenance of roads is
as much the cause of their bad con-
dition as any other one factor. 1t is
expected that the competition will
bring about better understanding
Of the subject of repair and mainten-
ance in the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
vantages of roads made impossible
through lack Of proper mainten-
ance and it is expected that their
interest in the composition will stim-
late great interest among the parents.
Bad roads have prevented many
children from obtaining proper
education and have even prevented
doctors from reaching the side of
rural patients in time to save their
lives.
Any child between the ages men-
toned, attending a country school,
may compete. Only one side of the
paper must be written on; each page
should be numbered; the name, age,
and address of the writer, and the
name and location of the school
which he or she is attending must be
plainly written at the top of the first
page. The announcement of the
competition has been sent to the
superintendents of schools in the
rural districts. No further informa-
tion can be obtained from the Office
of Public Roads. This announce
ment should be plain to everyone,
and all children will thus start an
basis of equality.

High Price Of Beef

The following taken from the
Butte Miner gives our readers a
pretty good reason for the high price
of meat:
In the opinion of A. de Ricqles
of Denver, of the American Loan
and Livestock company. the largest
cattle outfit in Montana, and one of
the largest in the west, the high
prices of beef and mutton have come
to stay, and the only thing that could
cause drop would be the importation
duty free, of beef from the Argentine
and mutton from Australia.
THE whole trouble, in his opinion
is that the demand for lands for agri-
cultural purposes that once were
used for pasture has become so great
that the supply of grass is steadily
diminishing. The stronger the pres
sure the more limited the supply of
beef, and consequently the higher
the price.
Mr.. De Ricqles is here locking
after the arrangements to ship be-
tween 5000 and 10000 hea ad of
cattle that were wintered in this VIC

Prairie Fires.

During the past two or three
weeks there has been numerous
prairie fires and some of them have
done considerable damage. The
abundance of dead grass and its con-
dition makes fires ve.y dangerous.
Extra precaution should be taken
to keep these down. There are a
large number of new settlers who do
not fully realize the penalty of setting
fires in Montana as most Of them
came from states where both straw
and stubble is burned. Following
we publish the law in regard to the
starting of fires:
Sec. 8768 Revised Codes of Mon
tana provides: Every person who
carelessly sets fire to. any timber.
woodland or grass, except for useful
or necessary purpose, or who at any
time makes a camp fire. or lights fire
for any purpose whatever without
taking sufficient steps to secure the
same from spreading from the inn
mediate locality where it is used; or
fails to. extingnish such fire before
leaving it, is punishable by impriaon-
ment in the county Jail not exceed
ing one year, or by fine not exceed
ing twf s.ousand dollars or both.

New Depot for Savoy.

The railroad com mission has made
an order directing the Great North
ern. not later than June l to estab-
lish a portable depot with custodian
in charge at Savoy, Blaine county,
l9 miles east of Harlem. A perman-
ent station was asked for, but the
commission felt the business at this
time does not justify the making of
such an order. The findings of the
commission show how rapidly the re-
gions surrounding it is developing.

The Alaska.Juneau Com. pany claims title through the origin. al possession of Aux Bay Jim, who was present in court at the time of the hearing and made positive statements as to his possession and rights on the premises. The plaintiff claims title through purchase form the grandson of Amatina, a deceased brother Of Aux Bay Jim. Evidence was intro. duced to show that both Indians through whom title is claimed lived in cabins close together on the ground under dispute or at least that portion by the Alaska-Juneau people. It is alleged by the defendants that Ana. tina was a resident on the ground by sufferance only; the plaintiffs allege that Aux Bay Jim was only resident by consent of Amatina. Several old timers gave evidence and much h. dian testimony was taken. Attorney Bayles this afternoon asked for sub. poenaes for more Indians anticipating that the case will have another hear. ing on its merits.

The case of H. c. Strong vs. Alas ka Gold Mining Company 97l A, which came up before Judge Overfield sever al weeks ago and in which the ap. plication for an injunction was denied plaintiff on showing made was this morning dismissed on motion of plain tiff. Subsequent to the hearing be- fore Judge Overfield new action was filed entitled Fl. C. Strong vs. Alas ka-Juneau Gold Mining Company 997 A." in which the application for a temporary restraining order was granted by Judge Lyons sitting in Ketchikan.
 Attorney J. A. Hellenthal for the defense this morning sought to have the second action dismissed on the grounds that the dismissal of the oth- CT case which practically covers the same conditions, and in which the same interests are involved is a bar to the introduction of the second ac- tion. Judge Jennings took the mat. ter under advisement and will decide tomorrow whether or not the case may be heard or shall be dismissed.

Gard uer brings optimistic reports from points to the Southwark The Amer icau Pulp and Paper Company is building a million-dollar pulp plant on Mill creek, just a few miles from Wrangell. The company will begin erecting the plant immediately and have a good start on the work before summer wanes. It will probably take two years to get the plant ready for active operations.
 The company has bought three hun dred million feet Of timber near Wrangeu and this will keep the plant going for some time. It is Mir Gard ners belief that pulp manufacturing will become a very important and prof .;anIc industry in Southeastern Alas ka. The timber is peculiarly fitted for the manufacture of pulp and is to be had in great quantities Taking timber for pulp everything practically iS used and the land is given an op- portunity to grow up in spruce again. while taking for mills only that fit ted for lumber is taken leaving the other a loss

SENATOR'S TO REPORT RAILWAY BILL
MEMORIAL DAY
 NEAR AT HAND
%

Day after tomorrow, May S0th, will be Memorial Day, and it will be ob' served as a holiday at the postotiice, court house, custom house and other government offices in Juneau. How ever. so far, there has been no step taken for the general observance of the occasion. The banks and. prob ably. most of the business houses will close for all or a part of the day. The members of the Grand Army that re- side in Juneau are becoming few in numbers, and, it is not too much to say that they feel the neglect in the attention that is given to day that at one time was generally observed by all classes of the people throughout the Nation.
 There are now five permanent res idents of Juneau that served the Union armies during the Civil War They are Gen w. L. Distin, Capt. J. T. Mar tin, John Meyer, Nelson Carver and A. H. Tinker.
 There are a half dozen or so of the old guard that rest in the city cemetery whose graves it has been the custom to decorate on each recur- ring 3Oth of May.
 At one time there was an active post of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie at Juneau. It was organized as w. II. Seward Post, in 1887, by Capt. J. T. Martin, and consisted of 27 mem. bers.
 The ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic are being rapidly thinned. The National Tribune, the organ of the historic organization, recently called attention to the fact that the old soldiers are dying at rate of more than 6O,OOO a year In few years there will be only the history of the great events that made the Grand Army left.

TO
 SUBMIT BRIEFS

The oral arguments in the transpor- tation cases were completed last night before Judge k. w. Jennings. and the Seattle attorneys in the case left for the South on the Spokane. In accord ance with a stipulation of the attor- neys the points involved will be futrehr discussed in briefs
 that will be submitted to the court. The defendants have 30 days in which to submit their briefs, and the government will then have 30 days in which to file brief in an swer to the argument of the defend ants. If the court shall then over-rule the demurrers, the case will be set for trial and jury will hear the evi- dence and decide upon the guilt or in- nocence of the defendants. Should the demurrers be sustained, the gov ernment would probably again appeal to the higher court
 Arguments were made yesterday by former Attorney.General w. B. Strat- ton, w. H. Bogle, Bruce Shorts, J. E. Robinson, of Seattle, and Judge R. A. Gunnison, of Juneau, for the defend ants, and by United States District Attorney John Rustgard and Assist ant Attorney R. V. Nye for the gov ernment
