ance of public schools in such counties. While in Alaaka We have no counties established, we have the Territory divided into judicial and legislative divisions, which it would seem answers the purpose as to where the money should be spent, thus carrying out the spirit and intent of the law. Therefore. as practically all of the money now in the treasurer hands was derived from the sale of timber etc. in the First Division, our members of the legislature from this division should take special interest in the matter.

A petition sent out by the ket ch. ikan Chamber of Commerce reques- ting signatures, was received few lays ago, praying the proper gov ernment officials for the construc- ton of a wagon road or trail across the island from Hollis to this place. also for the construction of tele- phone line from Hadley via kas- aan, Karta Bay and Hollis to this point. It is needless to say that 1t was unanimously signed here md everybody seems ready and
 willing to push the scheme in an, other way that should become nec- essar" to obtain this much neeied improvment. Any one who is la rnilliar with the country at either of the termirieses of this propo3ed road and telephone line, vii! tell you that the scheme is not onlv possible but practicable, and would be an improvement that would cer- tainly open up and make accessible a new and, to the belief of all O. Us who have prospected to linn tied extent in that vacinity, exceed ingly rich mining district. thus liding greatly to the developm ent ,f the country. The upper end of
 lasaan Bay, karta Bay, Hclls ,nd the West Coast will, if the
 proposed trail and telephone line IS assured, experience a rapid dew
 elopment of their natural resources ,nd prominent growth of popu
 lation that will be surprising to the
 most rabbid optomist. We are glad to note that the ketchikan Chamber of Commerce is at last showing a disposition d to take up matters that will help the whole country and not the town of Ket- chikan alone: That which helps one; helps ali. Keep it up gentle men, we, on the West Coast of the island will give you all the aid possible, for we are pledged to the development of the whole country.

We understand that a certain business man (?) of neighboring town is one of party now in Washington lobying with congress and the heads Of certain depart- ments of the government for the removal of the bonding privileges to shippers through Canadian ter ritory and the placing of an export tax or something of that sort, on ish cnught in American waters.
 knowing the individual we are not surprised that he would be intlu- enced (properly approached) by the Seattle gang (birds of a feath- CT etc. to aid them in their nefar- ious plot to retain their present she'll game controll against the in- terests of the Alaska fisherman and business men. The gentle

WOIuan's Chief Trade.
(Pittsburg Dispatch )

Yes, of course, it is homemakinR Everybody knows that, but the fg- ures for it, compiled by the United States Board of Education statisti- clans, are worth noting. Of the 31.- 100000 females over 10 years of age in the United States 24,OOO,OOO are engaged in homemaking Girls may be entering more and more into other trades, but in the last analysis they generally fall back or advance to the rank of homemakers.
 Hence, says the federal educational board, the importance of giving special attention to scientific cooking in the vocational schools. The girlish hone of being able to hire a cook is ant in De disappointed as frequently as the nope Of keeping one when she is hired. 1t IS one of the oldest things of life that cooking, the preparation of the food that sustains life, the art that can waste or economize in the chief item of family expenditures is so large ly left to be picked up as best 1t may be without serious consideration or framing. If the woeful waste re- sultlng from amateur cookery could be computed in dollars and cents it would rival the war bills of Europe If the indigestion dyspepsia and kin dred physical disturbances caused by incapable cooks could be tabulated they would dwarf the list of killed missing and wounded
