ECHOES AND TANCLES.

there last week.
A plumber out at Wichita,
Kansas, thinks he has discovered
something. He says he has found
out why people go to sleep in
church; it is because the air in
churches is impure. Breathing
impure air for two hours is as
dangerous as drinking from a
public cup And the next thing
churches will be compelled to bet
ter their ventilation. Tangles has
often thought that reform should
hit Mexico.
Tangles moves the previous
question. We want to see n
sanitary drinking fountain for
both man and beast located near
the Public Square. This would
be a good work for one of the
ladies' societies of the city.

and of course the saloons were
closed, and people of Oregon are
now talking Miss Hobbs for the
next governor of that State.
We see that the Turkish gov

for the building of an electric
railway from Jerusalem to Beth
lehem. and Jerusalem herself is to
be lighted by electricity. So thewise

AMONG the
RURAL SCHOOLS
The Consolidated Idea Gradually
Gaining in Favor.

Message the following:
chickens.
Last week we spent in visiting
,bo schools in North Wilson. Wis
itod Fox. Skull Lick, Daniel, Har-
rison, Strother and Naylor.
Miss Mahan of Naylor has re
sioned. While the board un-
animously accepted her resigna-
ton. she got a place in the second
Grade work in Columbia, they felt
they could not do otherwise, and
that she had not been as far with
them as she should have been IN
that she had said nothing to them
about the matter until she had re
ceived her appointment. The far
thing to do is first to see your
board and get their unanimous
and hearty consent, for they are
marty to the contract and 1t can
not be broken without the con
sent of both.
The attendance at Skull Lick
has fallen off because of removal
from district. Miss Mckenzie
now has five pupils and it is cost
ING the district more than 500 to
give each one of them seven
months of school, and yet they
pay her only $40 per month. 1t
costs the patrons of the John
Swaney consolidated school, Pur-
nam county, H., but $2716 per
pupn to send their children to a
frst-class school eight months,
where they have high priced
teachers, four years high school
work. the best equipment and a

needs and interests of farm boys

SOON REOPEN
 SKATING RINK
New Maple Floor Being Laid and Building Has Been EnIarged-
 New Balcony Erected.

The Valdez skating rink, which has been closed for the past few weeks while the building has been enlarg- ed and a new floor laid, will be re- opened in a few days. The owners nave added eleven feet of floor space on the building, extending the en- tire length of the structure, besides which a hanging gallery has been built for the accommodation of the spectators and also so that the skat- ing floor might be enlarged by using the space heretofore used by specta- tors watching the skaters.
 James Nellie, who is considered one of the fastest and prettiest skat- CTS in Alaska and the holder of many medals won in competitions in the states, has agreed to teach Goldie, the barber, as soon as the rink re-opens and predicts that he can make of the tonsorial artist an excellent skater. Jim Blake, who is also just learning to skate, is waiting patiently for the re-opening, as are also a number of others.
 The owners of the rink have pur- chased a hard wood maple floor and have force of ten men working to lay it as fast as possible. When completed the rink will be one of the best in the north.

FIRST DIVISION
 HAS MANY VOTERS
5,054 Qualified Voters Are Shown By Records Secured During Poll
 On Liquor Question.

Now when so much talk is going
 around as to the number of voters
 who will participate in the fall cleo
 tions, the following figures are es-
 pecially interesting. They indicate approximately the numbmer of bona
 ide voters in the First judicial dis trict, including Juneau, and give in- formation which has long been sought and upon which there seems to have been until now little or no definite information. Judge Jennings desired an express sion on the question of granting H. censes, and in the eight principal towns it was shown that there are 5,O54 people qualified to express an opinion on the liquor traffic. Of these 4.757 favored licensing saloons; 974 were opposed to it; 395 non-com- initial, and 297 were not seen. Ju- neau, Douglas, Skagway, Haines, Ketchikan, Wrangell and Petersburg were carried by the vets, and Sitka by the dries and those non-commit- tal
 The results of the enumeration follows (the question being Do you favor the issuance of licenses to sell liquor?"):
 Juneau-Yes, 1,266; no, 424; non committal, 99; not seen, 27; total, 1916.
