MEMBERSHIP GROWING IN
 TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

The membership of the Alaska Teachers Association is steadily grow itg. Those who have recently joined are Prof. R. R. Bell. Miss Case and C Green of Juneau; Prof. Elish Prof Ccnwell and Miss Jamison. of Doug las.
 TO date over fifty names have been received. The teachers fully realize that such an organization is more i'm portant, if anything. for Alaska, than are similar organizations fin the states for their sections There has been a tctal lack of cooperation between the teachers of the different towns in AL aska with the result that different courses of study are in vogue
 The purpose of the association is to make the class work in Alaska uni- form. to encourage the highest efl- ci'ncy possible in the Alaska schools and to be in a position to recommend needed legislation.-Ex

SITkA NATIVES BUILD
 HALL FOR THEMSELVES

The Sitka branch of the Alaska Native Brotherhood has splendid hall rapidly nearing completion. The manner in which this building is DeIng constructed pretty well dem unstrates the ability of the Alaska ns tive to do things for himself. The members of the organization went out in the woods and cut d raft oi l, gs which they lowed 4n themselves. The w. r. Mill Co. donated the uso of it's sawmill and the natives cut the logs into lumber, from which the building is being constructed. The labor is all being performed by the members, and the plans were drawn by Peter Simpson, president of the order. The only thing they have had to call on white men for was to hire a teamster to haul the lumber from the mill. The building will be 65X36 feet, besides stage 22x1S, and wIlI bC a beautiful monument to the ma . tiVes self reliance.

Much indignation has been caused by an incident connected with the re- cent ladies' dog team race. Last Mon day, while hauling water, Store Sten- hergs sled fell to pieces. On examina- tion it was found that all the ribs eX- cept one had been sawed nearly through with a fine wood saw. It WAS the first time the sled had been used since Mrs. Swnson won the dog race with it. Apparently it was done b1- fore the race but fortunately no in jury was done to the plucky winner O! the race, for the unsawed rib was the back one, where she stood on the runners all through the race. and i; held like iron. But had she attempted to ride in the sled the evil design would have succeeded. It is difficult to conceive of anyone in the commun- ity being guilty of such d dastardly act.

William Ferguson, at the Hotel Cain, has one of the most curious gold mug gets probably ever seen in Alaska. It is in the shape of d small sourdouSh hctcake. about four inches across and a quarter of an inch thick and valued al over $4O0.
 It belongs to Charles and Way Bow ker who came recently to Juneau from the Koyukuk, and who are now resting up at the Tenakee hot springs. Tn nugget was taken from their claim two feet from bedrock in the gravel. On reaching bedrock with a hole they did not even find color, but drifted a couple of feet and came across the sol i'd slug of gold. They found several smaller nuggets.
 The big nugget, however, is extra finely grained and the edges are round Gnd worn smooth as though subjected tn considerable glacial action. It looks as though 1t were melted from q furnace. and one cannot help won dering how many other slugs of gold If varying sizes may have been smell ted by nature at the same time and where they may be deposited at the pl esent time, The Koyukuk seems Ia be the home of nuggets and pockets and possibly some day 1t may prove et the first stampede before the magic word Klondike made it's history

CONGRESS HEIGHTS.

The Public Improvement Association
of Congress Heights at a meeting last
night decided to request pubic hear
ing before the Utilities Commission
when the question of street railway ia
cilties can be Thoroughly gone over, and
a definite agreement reached. At pres
ent practically all cars operating from
Congress Heights go by the Center
Market route, thereby necessitating
transfer by passengers at First and E
streets southeast, who desire to 60 to
Union Station or in that direction. If
it is desired to go out East Capitol
street or North Capitol, it is necessary
to pay another fare, as the company Will
not issue a transfer on a transfer. What
the citizens desire is the transfer point
changed to Anacosua. The fact that
there is a shelter at Anacostia and
none at First and streets. also makes
it more desirable for winter months.
The proposed extension along Nichols
avenue to Upsal street was also discuss
ed
At the last meeting Of the associa-
ton the, question Of having the high
stone wall around the grounds Of the
Government Hospital for the Insane
replaced with an iron fence. was con-
sidered. Several years ago provision
was made that in case the Botanic
Gardens were moved, the high iron
fence there would be used to replace
the stone fence at the hospital
grounds.
Additional street lights will be
placed on Sterling street west of Mich
OILS avenue. and also the light in the
tree at Seventh street and Alabama
avenue, will be moved so as to be Of
more use.
The school committee, OF which
Charles F. Purdy Is the chairman.

The committee is endeavoring to OBJ
tain a large bell to be used at this
school to announce the time. Al pres
ent a small hand bell is being used. 1t
was also said that an appropriation
would be asked for from the next
Congress to place a sidewalk around
the school grounds. hedge is now
being placed there.
The question Of providing public
playground in the suburb is one that
will be given consideration during the

GIRL REVEALS BRIDE
Department of Justice Agent
Finds Miss Lillian Rushe Is
Now Mrs. Emil D. Frey.

Mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of Miss Lillian 'Rushe, eighteen
year-old daughter OF J. Frank Rushe.
Of Hyattsville, Md, was solved today
when it was learned that Miss Rushe
and Emil D. Frey. son of A. G. Frey.
undertaken at 1880 Fourteenth street
northwest were married in Cumberland.
Md. last saturday.
Special Agent Ambrose. of the Depart
of Justice, who had been working on
the case in conjunction with the Wash
ington police and the Hyattsville au-
thorit!es. located the, couple in Cum
berland late last night. 1t was thought
at first that the girl. who left home last
Friday, had gone either to Baltimore
or Pittsburgh to visit friends, but when
inquiry in both cities failed to reveal
anv trace Of her Mr.. Rushe offered a
reward of SIS for information as to her
whereabouts.
The matter was reported to the De-
partment Of Justice. and Mr.. Am
which led him to believe that Miss
Rushe might have eloped with Frey.
who at present is engaged in the ad-
vertising business in Cumberland
Reaching Cumberland late last night
he learned that Frey and his bride were
Chief of Police Eisenhauer. Mr. Am
brosc went to the hotel. got the couple
out of bed and escorted them to police
headquarters. Frey exhibited a mar
riage certificate showing the ceremony
had been performed in Cumberland last
Saturday by the Rev. David G. Pile, of
Kingles Memorial Church.
Mr.. Rushe was called on the tele-
phone, and after the circumstances OF
the elopertnt had been explained to
him. he gave the police instructions tn
release his daughter
The couple explained they had been
planning the elopeInent for Two weeks.
Frey said he met Miss Rushe In Hyatts
vile the day she left home. and that
after stopping in Martinsburg to visit
friends, they went to Cumberland on
Saturday and were married.
The couple will make their home in
Cumberland until Mr.. Frey has COM
pleted the work in which he now is en-
gagged in that city, after which they
plan to return to Washington.

ing Friday. In a telephone conversa-
ton with her mother last night, Mrs

Vile, recognized Mrs. Frye, and, know
ing Of the search being made. advised
her to inform her parents of her where
abouts, which she did, MIR. Frye is
