The Pioneer is in receipt ot circulars IS sued by the interior department at Wash ington, through the courtesy of Delegate Wickersham, announcing the withdrawal oi various areas i'll Alaska for townste pur poses While no public announcement oi the selection of routes for the Al5aka rail road has been made, it is believed that the location of these withdrawals forms q fair index to the general routes determined upon by the administration.
 It is significant, therefore, and particu- larly interesting to residents of this section of Interior Alaska, to observe that one of the townsite reservations Is at MCGrath, at the junction of the Talotna and kusko- kwim rivers This point figured prominently in the reports of the Alaska railroad com mission. and there seems to be little doubt that one branch of the government road will be built to that point The order of withdrawal is as follows:

PANAMA DEMOCRATIC CLUB
 REVIEWS FIGHT ON CROSSLEY

Fairbanks, April 20.-At a meeting of the Tauana Democratic Club, held last night resolution was introduced in which the department of justice was requested to dismiss District Attorney CrossIey to make room for member of the party in power, Ii was suggested that the name of Judge Fuller be included in the resolution, but some of the members objected as they de sired to proceed first against those who had been in office for more than one term. The resolution, carried with but one dissenting vote, was as follows:
 Whereas. J. j. Crossley, the present dis

trict attorney for this district, came to us as a Republican from the Republican state of Iowa in 1908, and is now filling his second term as such Republican district at torney; and
 w hcreaS, It is the opinion of the mem bers of this club that d! the Democrats of this division, and a very great majority of the citizens, are opposed to the present district attcrney and that this opposition is based upon: First, the incompetency of the present incumbent; second the fact that he Is a Republican carpetbagger filling a second term of office during a Democratic administration; third, that his assistants are wholly incompetent fourth, that he has en- cCuraged in the States the belief that the citizens of this divisicn are in favor of the debauchery of native Indians which charge is wholly and willfully false; fifth, that through the incompetency of the present incumbent great sums of government money have been recklesslv and fooEshly wasted by summoning witnesses from great dis tances who knew practically nothing about the eases in which they testified:
 Therefore be it resolved by this club, in regular session assembled That 1t is the earnest wish and prayer of this club that J, J. Crossley be immediately removed from the office of district attorney of the Fourth judicial division Territory of Alaska, and that Democrat, one in sympathy with the administration, be appointed in his stead 7; and
 Be it further resolved, That q copy of these resolution be forwarded to the attor- ney general of the United States, and a copy be forwarded to the governor of Alaska.

Volney Richmond, superintendent of the Northern Commercial Company, arrived in the city from Fairbanks last Monday on the steamer M L. Washburn, and left on the same vessel Tuesday evening To repre- sentative of The Pioneer he stated that the recent sale of the Northern Navigation COmpany's equipment to the White Pass company was complete, that the Northern Navigation Company was out of the trans portation business, and that the Northern Commercial Company had no connection whatever with the new company, the Amer ican- Yukon Navigation Company, 8 sub sidary company of the White Pass, which had taken over the vessels, docks, ware houses, etc, of the Northern Navigation Company.
 Harry Watson, formerly with the N C. Co.,, has been appointed agent of the Ameri can Yukon Navigation Company for ldta rod with headQuarters at Dikeman, which IS pleasing news to his many friends here He will probably spend considerable of his time in Iditarod, but for the present the company will not establish an office here
 MT. Watson has not yet received the new tariff of his company and for the present is booking freight and passengers under the tariff of the N. N. Co., which was in effect in 1912. He expects to receive the new tariff shortly, which is likely to be but slightly in advance of the 1913 tariff

 James A. Fairborn, agent of the Ameri can Yukon Navigation Cmopany at Fair banks, has announced the passenger rates that will govern traffic on the steamers op erated by the company to and from the Outside, both via Skagway and St Michael The rates are much the same as they were in the summer of 1912, although at least in one case material reductions were made Other minor freight rate matters were re ceved in wire received by the agent

Mr.. Towne told Of the care taken

how the state pays money to keep

Men and Women in Public
Meeting Last Night Air
Views on Proposed
School Vote.
NO CONTRARY OPINION
Opponents Are Challenged to
Put Forth Other Reasons
Than Mercenary Ones
by One Speaker.

A largely attended meeting Of citi-
zens was ,,etd last night in the county
court house to discuss pro and, con-
according to the official call-the pro-
posed school bond issue to be voted
upon at the election on next Tuesday.
The sentiment of the meeting was for
the issue, for the most part. But one
speech was made In answer to chal-
lenge by Dr. Frank NJ. Fuller for any
reason other than that OF dollars
against the proposition, and that one
was answered many times over dur
ing the evening a. it semed to put
south side Of the city.
An attempt at gag rule was prompt
ly thwarted at the beginning, when
motion by Majcr w. B. Collins to
limit the speakers to i've minutes
was tabled when the motion to lay this
nthe table was made by DR., G. Wal
ter Barr. J. O. Boyd called the meet
ing together and asked H. C. Brown to
assume the chair The press repre-
sentatives were made secretaries and
the call was read. Major Collins then
proposed limited discussion. George 9.
Tucker moved an amendment to ten
minutes, and DR.. Barr moved to table
the original motion. On vote it was
carried.
The presence of the women who are
eligible to vote at this election provid-
Ing they are twenty-one years old,
added much interest to the meeting,
especially as Mrs. Leonard Matless
and Mrs. Winona E. Reeves spoke. A
very noticeable feature of public gath
erings Of this sort was the absence of
tobacco smoke in the room. This
was due evidently to the presence OF
the fair sex.
In opening the meeting Mr.. Brown
said that there should be no section
alism displayed In matters of this
kind. What is for the good Of the city
the people should be loyal enough to
support The school board evidently
believes schools are needed, and the
people should consider the recon-
mendation of the Board in this SUBJ
ject Mr.. Brown said. The discussion
was an open one, Mr.. Brown pointed
out and he invited talks from any one
present who cared to say anything.
Hughes on Schools.
Dr.. A. B. Hughes, president Of the
school board was the first speaker. He
said that the Keokuk schools were to-
day crowded beyond capacity. and
crowded way beyond any expectations
of the builders. The construction Of
the dam was the motive which brought
people here, and which has helped to
swell the school population he de-
clared.
AS concrete example Of the
changes in the last few years, DR..
Hughes cited the Lincoln building.
When it was erected few years ago.
1t was considered ample for all time to
come, he said. Today the pupils are
studying In drafty halls. and the pros.
poets are worse for the coming year,
as only eleven will graduate and sixty
or seventy will enter. In any event, DR..

we came into the world without our
money and we can't take it with US.
We must look to the education Of our
boys and girls. Let's get a school
house some place, first ward, seventh
ward or any place. but for Heavens
sake let's get a school house this
time and not throw the whole propo-
sition into the river as we've been
doing"

Wants Open Mindedness.

DIR. J. P. Dickson didn't want any
thing but open mindedness, he said.
He thought people ought to be open
to opinions. He discussed for some
little time the question of ventilation
and said he did not think that sys-
TEN of fans was the best ventilation
possible. as hae been assumed. He
urged leaving the third stories on
buildings for ventilation purposes

ing jealous to the extent Of spite, Ed.
A. French suggested the Waterloo
way. If the north side gets an I'm.
jealous enough to get out and get the
same improvement. This would be a
feeling worth while. In Waterloo, he
said that whenever the east side got
anything, the west side went after the
same proposition for their side of the
river. Get a prejudice for. rather
than against and you are all right
said Mr.. French.
Mr. French spoke of being instru-
mental in getting Mr. Ackerly here
from Leon to invest his money in a
trace Of land here. He urged the
passage Of the bond issue on this
score, as the Leon banker might not
build houses where there was no
school, and unless the bonds carried,
he might change his mind and go
elsewhere.
Schools Mark Progress.
The progress of a city is marked
by its schools, c. F. McFarland de-
clared. He said we should take care
Of this great asset. He spoke OF con-
ditions as he had found them in the
buildings, such as bad air and the
like. The wonder was that any but
invalids were turned out of our
schools, Mr. Mcfarland declared.
If there are $500 children in schools
tho ra0n1o fWnntv-fiVa
hundred million dollars invested. Mr..
Mcfarland said, for who would not
take a million for one of the youngsters.
It would be short-sighted then, he de-
cIared, to refuse to spend $4,000 on
this sort of an investment.
Jones Has Some Figures.
J. n. Jones said that he didn't con-
slider this a proposition of dollars and
cents. But If people did, he could
give some good figures. He said for
five cents we had a pretty good navy.
A nicksl per capita was all our navy
cost us, he declared. Smoking one
cigar Gay would amount to SIS In
a year. And then he said we paid
out money for five cent theaters and
beer. And still we didn't hear any
howls on this expense He was for
the bond issue and suggested paying
the slight additional sum with the
beer and moving picture and cigar
money.
Nothing is too good for our boys
and girls" he declared. We have
had our day, but we must not forget

[From TIE Tr,nune Bureau. J

Washington, April 4.-President Will
son has been having a mighty serious
time Of il within his own oficial fam
lily. It is declared that yesterday the
President censured his Secretary OF
State. in a measure blaming Secretary
Bryan for the unfortunate SITUATION
created by the note from CarrafiZ1
which indicated that the Constitution
alists would take the other side In the
conflict between the United States and
Huerta. The reports which are gong
around cannot. Of course, be absolutely
confirmed in any official quarter least
OF all by the principals concerned, nut
the rumors are so persistent that they
merit chronicling.
II is declared that the President was
greatly exercised over the communica-
ton which arrived night before last
from General Carranza. It was sur
prising turn OF affairs, as he admitted
Yesterday. President Wilson had be-
lieved that in moving against Huerta
he would have the sympathy and sup
port OF the Constitutionalists. Not 10
have them would mean that the Next
can problem was magnified tenfold or
more. So when Carranza clearly indi-
Gated that he intended 70 assume an
attitude unsatisfactory TO this govern
ment the President was angry. The
Secretary Of State saw the President
Yesterday morning for the first time
since the arrival Of the Carranza mes
sage the evening before, and it is de-
clared that the President said TO Mr..
Bryan that he had been too optimistic.
Some authorities say the President
used the term "auto-hypnotism."
There is also every indication that
the movement Of troops last night,
when three regiments Of infantry and
one Of artillery were ordered TO the
border and brigade was sent to Vera
Cruz. while orders were issued prohib-
iting the expectation Of arms across
the border. followed insistent and We
hement demands from the Secretary Of
War. Secretary Garrison is said to
have been greatly angered at the oppo-
sition he has encountered in the De-
partment OF state concerning the ship
ment OF arms.
Mr.. Garrison, fortunately, has en-
loved the support OF the Secretary OF
the Interior. Mr.. Bryan had such i'm
