FIRE DESTROYS CITY OF HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS
COLLECTOR FOR THE
 CHISANA TRAIL


 Collector of Customs J. R. Willis re turned on the Dolphin from an extend ed trip into the Interior as far as Fair banks. The main object of the jour ! ney was to examine into the condi- tions of commerce at Fairbanks which is now experiencing the first year as sub port of entry Collector Willis made an exhaustive study of the con ditions and is now making up his re- port to be forwarded to the depart ment at Washington, D. c.
 The problem of taking care of i'm ports into the Chisana section via the White river and Lake Kluane routes from Canadian territory has protrud- ed itself. The subject is now being given carful consideration and is the basis of a report that is now being made to the department. There is at present about 300 tons of provisions shipped from Dawson to the mouth of the Donjek river to be taken into the Chisana country as soon as snow comes for winter travel. About sixty per cent. of the entire shipment is originally American and is therefore non-dutiable. Of the balance about half will probably be on the free list when the new tariff schedule goes in- to effect. It is not considered wise to send a collector in until the new sched- ule goes into effect It is quite likely that a collector will be sent in about December 1.
 Another thing that must be taken into account is the uncertainty as to which route will be adopted as the main thoroughfare of travel. From the mouth of the White river to the diggings a good winter trail will be established that is only 200 miles long. This is considered shorter than the Kluane route The Northern Conner cial company and the White Pass com pany will each deliver barges loaded with provision at the mouth of the White river just before the freeze-up this fall, and this stuff will undoubted- ly be imported over the trail
 However, there is possibility of an all-American route being created via the Copper River and Chestochina via the old Eagle telegraph trail. Such action as the department may take will depend somewhat on future developments. It is the belief of Col lector Willis that 5000 people will spend the coming winter in the Chi sana. This belief is founded on the facts gained about the movement to- ward that point from different sec tions of Alaska and in Yukon Terri tory.

HOUSE NUMBERING
 SYSTEM ADOPTED

There will be no more confusion in directing strangers to points about town and there will no longer be great difficulty in locating residences of Juneaus citizens. Juneau is to be modernized by a systematic charting of it's thoroughfares with signs on every corner and numbers on every house or street entrance. This move will be the first step toward acquiring the free delivery system.
 The city council passed the street naming and house numbering" ordi- nance last night, making it the step forward toward mOdernizing the city. The ordinance had been introduced some time ago and it's passage was a foregone conclusion. By the pass age of the ordinance there is no more lower Franklin street. Front street extends now from Main street south easterly to the intersection of Frank lin and then absOrbs that street along the waterfront Franklin place forms the intersection with Front street and leads northerly just one block to First street; from this point it retains it's old identity as Franklin street Gold street has it's southern terminus at ] First street and from that point south is known as Gastineau avenue. l First street is the initial point for the numbering of all streets that run north and south. Main street divides | the town into east and west districts. All of the streets crossing Main be- come East First, Second, Third West First Second, Third, etc. The Casey Shattuck addition and other additions to Juneau must conform to this sys- tenn of house numbering.
 A space of ten feet of street front age is allowed a number. The Ordi nance provides that the street signs must be put up at the expense of the city and that the house numbers must be put on at the expense of the prop erty owners. The Mayor was instruct ed to order signs made at once and tC order a stock of house numbers that must be sold at cost to the people.
 "Distin Avenue" Now
 Previous to taking up the "street sign and house numbering" ordinance q resolution was passed changing the name of Farnham street to Distin av enue, as a compliment to Surveyor General William l.. Distin, who is about to retire from office after sixteer tyears of service.

IMPERATIVE NEED
 OF SCHOOL MONEY
O O

The city fathers met in regular ses- sion last night There were present Councilmen Hurlbutt, Pullen, Marsh aH Raymond, and Mayor Carter.
 A statement was received from Cashier Guy McNaughton of the B. NJ. Behrends bank asking the city coun- cil to take care of an overdraft made by the school board amounting to over $11.UOO. This overdraft was made at the time it was planned to build the new school house this fall and was used largely for the purchase of prop erty on which to erect the proposed buildings. According to the plans made at that time the citizens general ly were to pledge their security to take care of it until the Congress of the United States passed an act allowing the city to issue bonds for this pur- pose. These plans had to be altered somewhat After a discussion it was decided that if the money could not be secured as originally planned the city would draw on the general fund for enough to settle the account. A war rant was ordered drawn for all of the overdraft except that portion which was used to purchase the school prop erty mentioned.
 The ordinance to provide for the construction and maintenance of side walks and gutters was laid on the ta- ble.
 petition was received from the residents near Fifth and Kennedy, ask ing that the streets be graded. The matter was referred to the street com mittee with power to act
 The city engineer was instructed to buildt new stairs leading to Aux viii lage. replacing the old ones that have been condemned as unsafe.
 The city engineer was instructed to make a survey of Gold street be- tween 7th and Sth.
 Current bills were audited and or dered paid.

WICKERSHAM OPPOSES
 PARDONS FOR COAL MEN

NEW YORK, Aug. 31. - The New York Press contains the following Washington dispatch:
 "On his return from New Hampshire, President Woodrow Wilson will be visited by a delegation headed by Del egate James Wickersham, of Alaska, to protest against the pardon of John H. Bullock and Chas. E. Houston. sen fenced in Alaska to one years impris- onment and fine of $1,000 for con spiracy to defraud the government on a contract for coal for military gar risOns in the Territory.
 Capt. D. H. Jarvis, who also was in- dicted. committed suicide before his trial.
 Despite the fact that Judge Cush- man, who tried the case; the United States prosecuting attorney and every member of the trial jury refused to recommend a pardon; in spite of the fact that former Attorney General Wickersham opposed it, and President Taft refused clemency, McReynolds has sent his recommendation for a pardon to the President. The papers now lie in the Presidents files.
 "'There is no question in my mind, said Delegate James Wickersham to- day, that the Department of Justice is under the influence of the Guggen- helm interests and that McReynold's recommendation is due to these infu- ences.'"

School Year Begins
 Day After Tomorrow

The Juneau public school will open next Monday morning. Preparations for the opening have been under way today at the school building where Prof. Green has been classifying the high school students.

 All grade students are expected to be at the school building Monday be tween the hours of a. m. and r.
 Juggling Hours of Study.
 The fact that there are only six school rooms and r. teachers has made it necessary for Prof. Green and those that have been assisting him in the work of arranging the hours of study to do some artistic juggling. The fol- lowing hours have been decided upon: First and second grades-From 9 a. m. to 11:3O a. m.. and from 1 p. m. to 2:3O D. m.
 Third grade-From l D. m. to 4:3O D. n.
 Fourth and Fifth grades-From D. m. to D. m.
 Sixth and seventh grades - From S:3O a. m. to F: 30 p. m.
 High school From S:3O a. m. to 12:3O D. m. and from 1:3O D. m. to 2:3O p. m.
 These hours are necessary because of lack of room, but they will be changed as soon as sufficient room is secured. The hours for the small CT children are left the same as they are in the regular year The original hour decided on was a. m., but that decided to be too early for this sea son of the year. All the lower grades except the first and second will at tend in the afternoon.
 Courses of Study.
 The following courses will be of fered: Business, General. Latin-Eng- fish. Language. English-German, Prep aratory College. University, University Engineering. etc. These are regular course and each has a definite object in view Parents are requested to consult the principal of the high school and advise him as to course wished for the student. It is important that course be picked out that will prepare the student for the work he or she wishes to follow. Graduates will be allowed to enter the leading universi ties of the Pacific Coast; the Univer- sity of Michigan; and the State Nor mals without an examination.
 Working Students May Use Short
 Hours.
 Students who work will be allowed 10 come for the time of the subject they take, remaining the class period only. Bookkeeping may be taken from F to 12:3O by any who desire it.
 Night School Uncertain.
 Night school is an uncertainty at this time. The members of the high school faculty are carrying all the sub jects they are able to teach well. The extra courses make too much work for each teacher. It may be possible to arrange for night school the second half of the year.
