Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 6, 1914.

If advertising Is good thing for a business man, city or county, and we know that it is. then Alaska and lhe whole north land, including every part Of Canada ought to prosper, and will prosper in proportion as it furnishes the conditions to support the very fiattering accounts which are spread broadcast of our wonderful resources. The entering upon an era of railroad building in Alaska by the govern ment ~ has been heralded over the world. The press of this country as well as the press of foreign countries have announced the fact and made extended comments and have, almost universally, given the most flattering and glowing descriptions of the great natural richness of the country. and especially have they given prominence to the great agricultural possbili les of Alaska, describing it as place where many thousands can secure homes and fertile lands. If all the advertising which Alaska has received and Is now receiving were to be paid for. as in the ordinary course of busi- ness it Is doubtful is a million dollars would pay the bill It would be hard to find paper from any of the largest metropolitan centcrs of the world to the smallest country town which has not noted the fact and made extended comments. almost universally, favor able and laudatory to the government for it's policy towards Alaska which is usually characterized as giving to it lcng delayed justice.
 The time is a most suspicious one for the exploitation of the great north land. The outer world is now passing through a period of stress and strain and untold thousands arc obsessed with the desire to escape the contested cen- ters and go where there are more op- portunities offered for acquiring q competency and more particularly lands and homes
 Thio free advertising which Alaska is receiving is going to bring tens of thousands of people to this country within the next decade or two and will be the beginning of the greatest moye- ment on this continent the exploita- tion of the northern portion of the Western Hemisphere in which Alaska and northern Canada will be. jointly benefited and for a long time will draw from tho world the most desir- able people. those who have ambi- tion and dare to do things.

have been carefully kept from the peo- pie of the United States, in accordance with the policy of impenetrable secrecy which prevades the depart ment of state. Nevertheless, the full treaty has been published in the newspapers of Paris and the version of it which appears in those papers has been cabled 10 the United States
 There have been rumors here, based upon statements from Bogota. that the treaty contained diplomatic apology to Columbia for. the part which the United States is alleged to have taken in setting up the republic of Panama but those rumors have been unofficial ly denied in this country.
 The text of the treaty as cabled from Paris and published in the New York newspapers. however, shows that the rumors were correct and that the denial was diplomatic"
 Article of the treaty declares that the government of the United States. ''in its name and In the name of the people of the United States, expresses sincere regret for anything that may have interrupted or altered the rela- tions or cordial frindship existing long between the two nations"
 ha al ho oe ship between the United States and Columbia were first, the preposterous l and sordid demands which Columbia
 made for compensation for the privi- | lege to he granted for making an i'm provment at the expense of the United States in Columbian territory. of the highest possible value to that country. Following that were the series of events leading up to the formation of the republic of Panama. which enabled us to build the canal.
 The language of the treaty admits of no interpretation other than that | the United States admits that it did something in this connection for which it owes Columbia an apology in addi- tion to the ample money payment which it is prepared to make. and also in addition to the granting to Colum- bia specal privileges in the use of the canal which the administration claims we cannot retain ourselves. There is little chance of the senate ratifying SO costly and apologetic treaty--P. I.

Vocational training, as adapted both q little attention at the recent annual gathering of the Manitoba Educational Association. A broader aspect of the question than is sometimes considered was thus set forth by the president of the school trustees department of the association. Rev. ]. l.. Brown, of Pilot Mount, Manitoba.
 'If the young people of our land are not fully impressed with a sense of responsibility to their fellows and the community the outlook for the future cannot he bright. The task of our schools is to teach them that re- sponsibility.' In this respect Mir. Brown felt that vocational training was highly necessary. If the chil dren are taught nothing more than the survival of the Attest, we are simply teaching the mthe morals of the jungle. We must teach the chill dren that they have duties and re- responsibilities. It is wrong for a child to think that he is being educated only for the sake of himself A man must realize that his powers and fac ulties have not been given him for himself alone but for the whole of humanity"
 The critics who decry the move ment toward vocational training as being altogether materialistic, .nay we'll give thought to Mir. Browns words
 Not alone in public and high school circles is attention being di- rected to vocational training, but in the university world as we'll. And pressure from without is urging this matter upon the authorities of the University of Manitoba. The Pro- vincial Institute of Chartered Ac- counts has more than once advo- cated the establishment of at least Q university lectureship in account ing. At present many accountants in-training are availing themselves of lectures given by the head of the department of economies.
 Increasing demands will be made from now on by professional and business interests. That President MacLean of the University of Mani. tcba realizes th;s was" easily appar- Gnt at a recent dinner ten 1cre1 him by the chartered accountants. Very c'''rly he outlined the developr,en. :: university instruction a;cny pro. fes.,ional and commercial iineJ and very clearly too indicated his own belief that such work formed part of a well-rounded state institution.
 About this whole matter. of course, has long waged battle of the stall warts in the field of education. And there Is much to be said for both sides; so pach { and so convincing when set forth by an earnest advO- cate of either the old school or the new1 that the only conclusion for q ne@-world community seems to be one of Come let us compromise"
 Somewhere between the two ideals of old-time classical culture and of twentieth century practical efficiency there doubtless lies some golden via media or education--if happily we might find 1t. Rut an exact right line being beyond human determining.

Basket Ball

The basket ball game between
the team from the Tome and
Adelino schools and the local boys
last Saturday was an interesting
affair and hard fought from the
start. The local team had the
best of the game all the way
through, the score ending20 too,
with fifteen fouls charged against
the visitors and seven against the
home boys. But to show that the
visitors are game, they imme-
diately challenged our boys to
another game to be played at
Tome.
The game between the two
teams Of girls from our schools,
while not so fast, was none the
less interesting, the young ladies
proving themselves good sports
throughout the game. Several
pretty plays were made during
the game by members of both
teams.

success of the contest and aided
in every way possible. Much Of
the success of the contest was due
to Mr.. Carl L. Watson, the rep
resentative of the Publishers Mu-
sic Company, who was with US
at both the second and final count.
His suggestions were valuable
and timely, and his experience in
making the counts, reduced the
work to a minimum. Should we
engage in similar contest at any
future date, we could not hope
for a better co-worker than Mr..
Watson.
We wish to express our graft
tude to thecandidateswho worked
hard and faithfully in securing
subscriptions, and incidentally in
boosting the News. Without a
doubt more people heard of the
News during the past three
months than any similar period
of its existence. We only wish
we could have given several pia-
nos instead of the one, but not
being in the Carnegie class, we
are unable to do this. Each OF
the contestants who has worked
will receive available prize, ever
if it is not a piano.

ROAD WORK
TO begin
SHORTLY

G. G. Manning, chairman Of the
Mckinley County Road Commits
sion, is in receipt Of a conlmuni-
cation from State Engineer French
in which he acknowledges receipt
Of funds Of Mckinley and VaIen-
cia counties and conveying the in
formation that heis making prep
arations to get busy on road con-
struction.
Work for the present will begin
in Valencia county where it is
most needed, the purpose being
to expend the fund in the most
judicious manner. Camps will be
placed both at Laguna and Los
Lunas. The building Of a bridge
over the Rio Puerco is being tax
len up with the officials of the
Santa Fe.
The road from here to Grants
is now in fairly good condition and
the object is to make the western
extension Of the Canine Real
passable for its entire length as
soon as possible. Work from here
to St. Michaels is also contem-
plated as soon and the improve
ment Of the road on to the Petri
fed Forest from which point west
the road is now in good shape.
The early completion of the work
on the road east and west Of Gal
lup viii be a decided asset to the
town, diyerting much travel this
way that is now lost to the town.
Let activity and interest not abate
until the road is finally finished.

BRING IN REMAINS
OF AUTOMOBILE

R. D. Cox and Billy Kennebeck
brought to town what is left of
Ben Gooch's Ford Automobile,
which was lost in the Rio Puerco
some two weeks ago.
The remains of the machine
were found about a mile and a
half down the stream, from where
the auto was swallowed up by the
quicksand. The spokes of the
rear wheels were broken off right
around the hubs. The whole car
was battered all out of shape, and
hardly worth the salvage. The
condition of the car shows the
force of the water and sand in its
rush and tumble down the stream.

School Notes

Fred Dils, vino was hit by a
ball few days ago, has missed
school several days.
A baseball team is being Or
ganized and we hope to soon have
a school team that will be a Win
ner, as we have in basket ball.
Maurine Trimble, who has been
sick with pneumonia, is reported
as much better. We hope to see
her in her accustomed place soon.
The basket ball game Saturday
was hard fought from beginning
to end, but the home boys were
easily winners. The regular cen
ter for the visitors could not come,
which weakened them a bit.
Our guards kept the Tome for
wards well guarded and they
had few chances of scoring. The
entire team of the local boys did
splendidly,

AUDITOR files
REPORT ON
COUNTY AFFAIRS

The report of E. A. Mossman,
assistant travelling auditor and
bank examiner, on the examina-
ton of the records of Valencia
county as of November l, 1913,
has been filed with Governor
Mcdonald. An examination of
the report raises a question con-
cerning the court house and Jail
(repair) fund.
The court house Of Valencia
county burned in March, 1912,
and in 1918 there was disbursed
$50, ,095.94 from the court house
and Jail (repair) fund. Now, the
report does not state where this
amount came from nor for what
it was expended. 1t could not
have been for repairs, for at that
time the court house was being
erected.
In the introduction to the re-
port the following general COM
ments appear:
''You will note that up to 1911
there was no penalty collected on
account of delinquent taxes and
only a very little in that year. |
am advised by the deputy treas
urer that it never had been the
custom in this county to collect
the penalty. However, since the
penalty attached in 1912, the law
has been complied with in this
respect.
"On account of this county not
being surveyed and proper rec
ords in the engineers Office, the
county and state undoubtedly lost
thousands of dollars by not being
able to assess lands as they should
be, and on account of not being
able to prove that assessments
are correct. The county should
be surveyed and proper maps fur
nished the assessor.
Il experienced the same diff
Guilty in making up financial state
ment in Valencia county as in
Mckinley on account Of no books
in clerks office, salary bill, road
board, etc.
Several warrants were paid by
the treasurer, which were moi
properly signed and several war.
rants were returned to clerk
which were not properly can
celled. The treasurer's office
should give particular attention
to this and not accept from the
banks any warrants not properly
signed" Z"

GIRLS Band APPLAUDED
BY CROWDED HOUSE

The Santa Fe Girls Band Of
Wellington, Kansas. played to a
crowded house at the local Santa
Fe Reading Rooms last Saturday
night, and presented one Of the
finest entertainments ever given
in our city. To say that our peo-
pie were pleasedis putting it very
mildly. Every number on the
program was loudly applauded, as
it deserved to have been. The
vocal solo of little Pauline Way
nick, Il Want to be a Janitor's
CHILD" was the hit Of the even
ing, if any number on the pro-
gram could be thus classed.
At any time that the Yelling
ton Girls return to Belen, they
are assured Of a capacity house.
The Santa Fe is to be congratu-
lated on providing their employees
and the general public with an
entertainment Of SO high class.

AS a result of the contest the
circulation of the News has been
increased in splendid manner,
many new names having been
added and with about half a dozen
exceptions all are paid in advance.
The contestants not only secured
subscriptions from practically all
of the English speaking in Belen
and this vicinity, but secured a
number from other parts of the
state and other states. TheNeWs
will hereafter go regularly to
readers as far east as New Jersey
and New York, west to Califor-
MIA, north to Wisconsin and Mich
igan and south to Georgia and
Louisiana. Thus will these read
ers learn more of New Mexico and
especially of Belen and the Rio
Grande valley, which can not but
help Belen. Right here at home
the advertisers are assured that
the News will enter practically
all the homes where English is
read and their ads will be of more
value to them at. no increase in
cost.
1t is only justice that we men
ton the splendid treatment and
assistance rendered US during this
contest by the Publishers Music
Company of Chicago. They have
carried out their contract to the

wherein at our suggestion, chang
es were made, but in every such
instance the change was to oul
advantage or that of the loca

THE Course" was ably dis
cussed by Mrs. L. c. Becker, her
