More Than $4,000 Below AL
lOWance for 8 Months.
COMMISSIONERS ARE SAVING
Each Department Below Tor
First Quarter of 1914.
Only $65, 8O3.31 Spent for Janu'
( airy, February and March.

The city of Topeka is $50 900 ahead of
the game. according to the first quar-
terly financial showing issued today by
Roy L. Bone, commissioner of finance
and revenue. In other words, the city
has spent $65 .603.31 of the allowance
Of 1927 ,458.46 for the operating expenses
of the city in the year 1914.
1t Is shown by the reports sent to all
the commissioners, that Topeka has a
balance of 1921 ,95515 in the treasury
for the maintenance of the depart
ments under the four commissioners
and the mayor.
Despite several extraordinary expen-
dltures for the first three months of the
year, the city administration has kept
well within the budget made out one
Year ago. Unless an unexpected e<-
rense is thrust upon the commission
ers it is believed in city hall circles to-
day that the present commission will
end the year with comfortable bal
ence in the treasury.
The Bone figures today show that
each commissioner has kept under the
quarterly allowance. Although no dis
tinction is made in each quarter, the
expenses of January, March and April
represent fairly the probable outcome
Of the years showing. In this period
the departments are confronted with
the maintenance of winter and the i'm
provements and betterments of the
spring months.
The Figures by Commissioners.

statistical expenditures follows:

Freedom Of Many Americans
Due to an Englishman.

Vera Cruz. April 29.-Mr. Onslaught
messy and Arnold Shanklin. the Ameri-
can consul general at Mexico City, who
came out with him, are still here
awaiting orders. So far as is known
they have given no intimation as to
their probable instructions from
Washington. This is construed here
to mean that the state department re-
tains hope of q satisfactory adjustment
of the present difficulty which would
make it possible for these officials to
return to Mexico City. Consequently
their return to the United States now
might be inexpedient.

and Mexico City on the direct line Of

lies whose whereabouts are not known.

 Mrs. Strong, wife of the governor of Alaska, is quoted by the Providence Journal as having said of the women of the North: "I do not know of any other women who can equal them in resourcefulness. And they are filled with an energy which makes nothing too hard of accomplishment. If they give an afternoon tea it is in as attrac- tive surroundings as one could find anywhere, with the same appointments as the East affords Flowers from Se- attle will adorn the rooms, the whitest of napery covers the table, while the service is perfect, not 10 mention the refreshments"
 4. B. Ferguson, known all over Alas. ka as "Loug Fergie," owner of valuable mining properties at lditarod, and ono of the old-;imers of the North, has rather positive ideas about the efforts being made Co educate the Indians of Alaska. Yesterday at the Frye he put into speech some of his ideas on the matter, says the P. l. "Both the gov. ernmeut schools and the secular schools of Alaska" he said, with the emphasis of conviction, Bare going about this matter of Indian education wrongly, if anybody can judge by the results. ] have seen little Indian kids that could put me to shame with the English they can talk, who know how to speak and sing in Latin, in addition to Knowing how to use their own tongue, but what do they amount to? Some of them get to be guides, and they don't make very good ones, either; they are too proud to do any work when it's needed, and they look with scorn on the other natives who haven't as much knowledge aud who manage to get an honest living by hunting and fishing without putting on any airs Mrs. Ferguson taught at the Indian school at Nenaua during the winter of l9O9-lO, at the reqnest of Archdeacon Stuck and Mr. Betticher, and she came, during that time, to love every Indian child in the whole of Alaska. After that winter, though, she was asked by tLe department of educa- tion what she thought of efforts being made to educate those people. Her letter is on file in Washington DOW. She wrote that in her opinion most of the work being done was a mistake. She said that in educating them their traditions and all things that they hon. ored and loved were being taken away from them, they were raised above the level of their own people without being able to enter any other social level or to associate on equal terms with white men, and that eventually most of them grayitated back from the veneer of ciY- ilization to their own people and the ways of their people.

 The conference report on the Alaska coal leasing bill shows that the leases are to be granted by the secretary of interior either by competitive bids or otherwise as he sees ft. It also pro vides for 5lOOOOO for the government survey of the Bering, Matanuska and Neuaua coal fields It also provided that in case a company takes over leases lhe majority of the stock in that company must be owned by citizens of the United States. No one may have an interest in two leases each comprising 2,560 acres. By violating this regulation a fine and imprison- ment may be inflicted. The leases will each be for forty acres or in blocks up to 2,5GO acres, but no more.
 Although Che agricultural develop ment of Alaska is still in its first stages, the products of theiadustry are almost always better than the best shipped from the States. The following notice in the Ketchikau Miner may be taken as a sample of the song of praise that is coming from the hearts of the news paper men in all parts of the territory: "Capt. Shepard, of the Mary Island light, arrived in town this afternoon, bringing his wife, who is troubled with rheumatism, for medical treatment. As a reminder for the Miner Man that vegetables can be grown to perfection in this pat of Alaska, notwithstanding a poor season just past, he brought in a lG pound cabbage, as solid as some peoples heads, and six huge rotatoes which aggregate better than eight pounds, fine turnips and a carrot as big a. a quart measure finish the collection which promises a fine boiled dinner for the Miner force Vegetables are on eX hibitiou in che Miner window"
 According to press dispatches from Washington October l3, Mir. J. P. Nor gan has offered to sell or lease the Cop per River & Northwestern railway in Alaeka Co the government for use in connection with the proposed govern ment railroad system in the territory. Owing to the fact that the railroad oc cupies the water level route to the inc terior and, eliminating politics but 6guring purely on engineering and physical facts, is the only low grade line. the offer is a valuable one at this time. The fact that the offer is to either lease or sell is also significant, for by lease the government would solve at once the greatest difficulty, that is, surveys and construction which will require two or three years to get from the sea coast over the Frontal range. The Copper river cuts directly through the Frontal range. It has been operated during each winter with one exception, when the delay was caused bv labor troubles and not by failure of the snow rotaries. By acquiring this line the government would merely have to build a 38 mile branch to reach the Boring river coal fields and l3j miles of the man line could be utilized in the main line to the valley of the Yukon. From a practical standpoint it cannot be seen how Mir. Morgan's offer can be ignored Railway and Marine News

BITTER COLD WEATHER.

After the storm clouds rolled away the
winds shifted to the north and west and
the first real cold wave of the winter
started on Monday evening last. When
the sun came up on Tuesday morning the
mercury stood at temperatures ranging
from Is to IA degrees just according to
the exposure of the thermometer. There
has been no snow in sufficient quantity
to whiten the earth in this part of Della
ware, but the lakes are covered with a
thin sheet of ice for the second time this
season. A few fields where the corn
was delayed in husking. are fine rem
devious for the crows and wild birds to
find a Christmas feast ready for them.
Wednesday morn the mercury indicated
that the cold had reached a lower point
than on Tuesday. From Is to II above
zero was the general reading of the
and even though the sun
was shining the temperature did not
reach the thawing point during the day.
The cold continued through Wednesday
with but little change.
