That the public schools of Nome are considered to be US we'll equipped and as capable of providing an education for the pupils as any schools in the country Is conclusively proved by let ,.rs recently received by Superintend- ent Karrer.
 The people of the town of Nome. nc matter what other conditions may be may well be proud of their schools when such institutions as the Univer- s.ty of Minnesota and tho University of Michigan. the latter one of the greatest educational institutions in the country. are willing to admit gridu- ates of the Nome high school to their depar,ments of literature. art and the sciences without examination.
 The Nome schools have heretofore been recognized In this manner by the leading universities of tho Pacific coast but this Is the first time that tho fame of our local institutions has gone % far afieid. The next step will he the same recognition by the great eastern universities. Princeton. Yale cEd Harvard and when that comes there will be no public schools In the United States that stand higher in the educational world than do the schools of Nome. Alaska.
 That is a record that the town may we'll be proud of for this is time when education Is one ct the things that the world lays great stress upon .,nd the progress and civilization of a country Is shown by the excellence "i its public schools.

 "Old Charlie" was mentally defi- cient in many ways, but he had a keen eye for track trouble, and while not employed by the Southern Pacific performed voluntarily and diligently the work of track walker on a con- tinuous journey that usually found him somewhere between Fl Paso and Yuma. He was kn Iwn to members of liseey train crew, station agents, and practically all of the section crews in the Southwest, and every one did his best to tighten the burdens of his life. For twenty years, he took the railroad under his care, and scores of times has inspected block signals and road bed, all the time sending in painstaking and what to his mine were essential reports cn conditions as he saw them. The management re- ceiyed them in the spirit in which he sent them ,and good-humoredly thanked him for his efforts.
 Whenever "Old Charlie chose to enter railroad restaurant, he got a good meal and trainmen were lenient when he wanted a lift in his weary trip across the country. Recently his health began to fall. and although many wanted to look out for him in some substantial way, he refused al help and indignantly insisted that he must keep on with his work of in spection IS la
