WANTS
 SOME VALDEZ DOPE
Send Request to Prospeetor for Some Good Dope," Especially About
 the Railroad.

Prospector, Valdez: The cable is down; send any good dope available, especially about the railroad.-Fair- banks Times. .. ,..,,.-. .......
 The above message crossed one sent by the Prospector asking for any news that might be straying about in Fairbanks, as we had also heard that Dougherty'S cable had broken and that the Burnside was on the drydock getting her bottom scraped. We wired the Times about the great development work going on across the bay at the Midas mine, where a tram five miles long will be installed; about. the Gold King and the Gran ite; the work being done by the city council to fix up the streets of Val dez, not forgetting the building of cement walk from the Seattle Hotel to the Big Place and the proposed walk from the Northern to Ed Woods corner. We added little about our dike the government is building un- der the direction of Lieut.. Edgerton, the best engineer officer in Alaska, and how the fraternal orders intend to have three days celebrations on the Glorious Fourth, and this will all help the Times out today, but we will be up against the real thing tonight to send them some new dope.
 The Times man came back hand somely this morning and told us about the row on the school board in his city, the effort to fire the health of ficer a lady doctor, who found some germs in her milk and the council intend that she shall prove it, and maybe she will and fool the bunch. They have everything else in Fair banks, why not "germs?'
 They have also found a new pay streak on an old creek. Maybe we will get little dope in over that British line, but, between you and me and the lamp post, that Canadian line is down. more than that Ameri- can built cable, and they are fed news over Dougherty's cable most of the time
 We have also. asked Juneau for dope" and tonight's issue should be an Alaska issue. -. ..

A DOG STORY
 WITH V INTEREST ||
Locked in the Home of Mr. and Mrs. George Treat 1t Does Thousands
 of Dollars Damage.

Robert Coles, a brother of Mrs. George. R. Treat, who is at present enjoying a tour of the states, re- gently loaned lady friend his sis ter's bicycle, and after he secured the position as the "big bull" in the Bris- tol bay section with headquarters at Dillingham;, he left without returning the bicycle to the Treat house.
 Now the fun commences. The bi- cycle was returned to Judge Smith, of the Valdez Real Estate agency, the man who has signs on much of the unoccupied property in town. Smith had the key to the Treat house and replaced the wheel, but unfortunate ly, he was talking to Assistant Cash fer Albert Grigsby of the Valdez Bank and Trust Co.,, when the wheel was returned, and the dog belonging to Mir. Grigsby followed him into the Treat house, remaining after he left.
 When the dog realized that he was fastened in the building he scratch ed at the door, jumped up at the windows to attract passersby, tore down the beautiful and expensive lace curtains and shades, tore about the room and ripped the beautiful rug, the pride and delight of George Treat, and tried to get into the valu- able piano.
 In the meantime MT. Grigsby hunt ed for his lost dog, but failed to find him. He finally appealed to Marshal Scott, the Valdez sleuth, who work ed on the case for several hours, and concluded finally that the dog was locked in the Treat house and ap- pealed to Smith to open the door and investigate. Smith did, and 24 hours after the dog had been imprisoned he was released. But, alas, the damage in the building is beyond repair. The furniture is ruined, the curtains are done for in spite of the efforts of Judge Smith to patch them. The wood work is all scratched and marred al though he tried to disguise. it and other damage natural when dog is confined in a parlor for 24 hours was discovered The damage is estimat- ed at fully $100,000, with no insur- ance.

 Hires New Man.

FAIRBANKS, June 9-The dismis- sal of Professor Knowlton by the board of education of this city has caused considerable trouble for the members of the school board. The efforts of the board to keep their de Alterations secret also has caused comment and many taxpayers assert that as public servants the school board should not attempt to put things over in the dark.
 Knowing of the friction between Professor, KuoKlton, and the school board. which was ,caused by trivial differences, many influential citizens urged the board to reappoint the pro7 lessor, who had brought tic school system of this city to a, high stand ard. After the appointment, Of Pro- lessor Karrer, of Nome, the, school children without exception and the parents of most of those attending the school signed g petition to the board asking for the reinstatement of Prof. Knowltons, but. the board is obstinate and refuse, to heed the pleas of the petitioners. :;. ,.t.

The sentiment and rhythm were ex- cellent and her delivery showed the result of careful training.
 The next number on the program was the event of the evening and showed that there was much to be said on both sides of the subject of the debate, Resolved, that the Mon roe doctrine should be abandoned by the United States" Edward Fucker and Caroline Kelsey made most con- vincing and logical argument for the abolition of this time honored doc urine, but when Emmett Egan and Harlan Keesler finished their open ing argument it looked as though the judges of the debate, Judge Lyons, Judge Spence and MT. Geraghty, would have a hard time making a decision that would meet the approy- al of the listeners. However, in the closing statements. the affirmatives seemed to have slight advantage, and Judge Lyons, in a few we'll cho- sen remarks. awarded the honors to Edward Fucker and Caroline Kelsey, with strong minority report in fla vor of the other side. The debate was listened to with the greatest in terest and no small credit is due the teachers that brought about such a success.

One of the largest crowds that ever assembled in Eagle hall witnessed the final meeting of the Cheechaco Lit erary Club of the Valdez High School last night and saw a performance that would do credit to any institution of learning, no matter where located.
 Professor Reinke and his orchestra furnished delightful music for the oc- casion and the exercises were open ed by selection from the waltz Regrets" Edward Fucker followed by giving the class history. This de scribed the history of the class since 1910, which started with nine mem bers, all having dropped out but three-Eva Lockhart, Verna Fish and Edward Fucker.
 Margaret Miller recited very hu- morous piece entitled 'Neighbors" and kept the crowd in a continuous roar of laughter, which was followed by an original story Tn the Garret," by Lurline Leavell, who showed that she had considerable talent in this di- rection that may one day bring her into prominence as a writer of short stories
 Rose Johnson, who has long been a favorite with Valdez audiences, re- cited thrilling account of frontier life on the Mexican border, which was applauded loud and long Verna Fish then read her class poem, which she had composed for the occasion:

The delegate writes that he will re- turn to Fairbans in July, expecting to reach here about July 18th. He does not state if he will campaign the coast before starting for the in terior, but it is expected that he will, as his friends here have advised him that the coast sections are to be watched, as the, Juneau Democrats and the coast bourbons are working to prevent his election and have strong followings.
 The announcement that Hopping Wick would not fight for the Demo cratic nomination causes no surprise here among his opponents. as he is believed to have concluded that the Republicans will carry the congress sional elections this coming fall and that he will again be in the minority if he should now turn to the Demo crats, besides close friends of the delegate have warned him that if he splits the Democratic party the So- cialist candidate is certain of cleo the Socialists in order to defeat him.
