PRINCIPAL
AND TEACHERS
School Board Committees For
Coming Year

At meeting of the Board of
Education held on Monday even
ing the president announced the
committees for the ensuing year
as follows: Teachers and Discip-

Mrs. E. B. Frazer and Mrs. w.
H. Cook, representing the Parent
Teachers Association were pre-
sent, to bring before the Board
the Importance of the installation
of sanitary drinking fountains.
The ladies offered to plan a series
of bakes if necessary in order to
finance the proposition. The mat
ter was referred to the property
committee. 1t was believed, how
ever, the improvement could be
made before the opening of school
in September. Mr.. Griffin is at
present working on plans for the
installation of indoor toilets at the
primary building and it would
seem more practicable to do all the
work at one time.
The question of the general eff
ficiency of the school and the
qualifications of each individual
teacher was discussed at length
by the members of the Board. All,
with the exception of the teachers
of the first and second grades,
were reappointed, the two men,
toned not being considered at the
meeting because of lack of time.
The urgency for more time on the
part of the principal, to devote to
supervision, was appreciated and
arrangements made for the princi-
pal in cooperation with the COM
mittee on Teachers and Discip-
line, to revise and arrange the
schedule to cover this. defect in
the general efficiency of the school
Miss Katherine Heiser and Miss
Elsie Davis were transferred from
the third to the Overflow primary
grades respectively, each receiv-
ing an increase in salary of $3.50
rer month, in accord with the rule
introduced several years ago
which increases the salaries at the
above rate per month until the
maximum of $50 is reached.
Applications from West Chester

ESTATE IS LEFT TO
 MRS. DORA DILLON


 Mrs Dora Dillow, the widow of the late Joseph c. Dilow. lawyer, of Fairbanks. who, with her children left last year for the Oustide. has been left the estate of her brother-in-law, Dr. George Dillow of Chicago. The news of the estate having been left to her was received here a few days ago by Dr. M. F Hall. who was an old friend of Dr. George Dfnow.
 Few widows were more in need of financial assistance than has been Mrs. Dillow. as her little ones are so small as to require her attention most of the time After leaving Fairbanks Mrs. Dillow went to Alameda, Califor- mia, where she has been working as a nurse.
 Recently her brotherlnIaw wrote from Chicago to Fairbanks, asking for her address, and stating that he wanted to help her. Immediately a letter was sent to Mrs. Dillow. sue- guesting that she send her address to pr. Dillow, but 1t seems that the lat ter died before he received it.-(The Fairbanks Citizen)

 Favor Government School
 The Delegate asked if they pre- forred school controlled by the church or one conducted by the de- pertinent of education itself. This led to some discussion, which resulted in majority favoring @ strictly govern ment school. He agreed to set the whole subject before Che proper of- ficials and Congress upon his return to Washington, and to see # some thing could not be done Go better the present condition and Go put control into more central overs. As it now stands, about @ dozen different de- partments look after the natives of Alaska, responsibility being divided and few results being accomplished in satisfactory manner. The de- partment of education, under the sec retary of the interior, probably has more to do with them than any other but their authority is limited. Some beneficial legislation win very likely result from these conferences of the councils.
 Commissioner Riggs has nothing to do with the control of the natives in any way. but he agreed to be their friend at Washington and to give the natives any work that they were com petent to carry out
 Flrst Attemps As Council
 Some of these venerable chiefs ex- plained their tribal relations at length and gave much insight into their view of the white mans invas- lon. One of them stated that this was the first attempt at council since Russia had sold the Territory to the United States, or ever. for that mat ter. He said. through the interpre- ter, that when the natives were inform ed that they country had been sold to other white men that the Russians explained that the new owners had always treated the Indians like broth CTS and had been good to them, and that they might expect to be treated the same way. This had filled the Indians with confidence, and now, in attending the council called by the chief white man. whom they took to the government in every thing said and done. they had Q right to expect good treatment in every thing.

STORY OF INDIAN CHIEES
 FAIRBANKS CONFERENCE


ed for the occasion, and it was so- cial event of no small consequence in the pow-wow. for the Indian is very particular how he approaches the so- lution of his problems where politics are involved. He has politics in the highest sense of the term and is born diplomat.
 Monday night at 6 o'clock the eoun- cil adjourned after an exhaustive talk about reservations, allotments, hos pltals. industrial schools and other things. during which the chiefs asked much. explained at length. and prom lsed little. They did not want a res ervation. On that they were Q unit. believing that such a move would linn it their activities and pen them down the same as white men. Also they were opposed to allotment of home steads (they are entitled to 160 acres each under the act of Congress gov erning Alaska Indians) on much the same grounds. Special Agent Ritch- ie gave them a full explatlon of re- quirements and methods of obtaining land they could call their own.
 Risss Promises Help
 Commissioner Riggs. as Secretary Lane's highest official in the interior told the chiefs that the great secre- tary was Q friend of the Indians ev- anywhere. and that he would always do what he could to help and protect them. He explained that the rail- ways were building into the country, and joined Delegate Wickersham in urging that they should get land and hold it while they had a selection. He also offered his own assistance in any way he could help them. Later they remembered this.
 Then. when the council was sup posed to be closed pending further conferences among the natives of the Panama valley and that of the Yukon, suddenly yesterday afternoon anoth- CT council was called by the assem- bled chiefs and their missionary friend. Rev. Guy Hadara. At four o'clock the session began at the h- brary.
 Decide To Take Aallotments
 Again each chief in succession made a welcoming speech and announced that he was friend of the white man and expected the white man present to be friends of the Indian. who trust ed him implicitly This time, through their different spokesmen, the chief and head man stated that they had decided upon taking allotments, pro vided that their villages would be left intact as they were. and that they were not restricted in hunting and fishing where they pleased.
 Also. they asked for an industrial school to be established by the gov ernment. for physicians to better their physical condition and cure prevailing diseases among them. and of Com missioner Riggs they asked for work on the railroad, explaining that they desired this work not for themselves but for their people. They also ask

TOLOVANA IS NOW
 PRODUCING COLD

Fairbanks papers to arrive in the last mail say that the new Tolovana camp is showing up we'll. It is al- ready producing gold, which is com ing into Fairbanks. and Fairbanks merchants are sending stocks of goods to the camp.
 The Fairbanks Times says:
 "That Livengood creek is a pro ducer and will continue to be one for some years to come is evident from the second cleanup. taken out by liar ry Patterson on the third tier bench claim. opposite above Livengood. The cleanup was brought to town for the operators by Ole Fisher, and while he would have nothing to say regard ing it. 1t is learned that 1t weighed SS ounces.
 "Only two weeks ago. Mir. Patter. son came to town himself with a cleanup of 1SO ounces. so that the to. tai output of the claim to date is up. wards of S4.OOO. Mr. Fisher said that the Patterson ground runs about S1.5O to the foot and the paystreak is at least 160 feet wide. This much has been determined by the cross cut work that has been done. Another man well acquainted with conditions at the Patterson property. says that the ground will so fully S2 to the foot he thinks"
 Merchants Interested
 The Citizen says:
 "That things are booming in a bus mess way in the new camp is evi. denced these days by the fact that several business people have taken, or are preparing to take, large stocks of goods to the Tolovana country. At the clerks office, five mercantile li- censes were issued last Saturday, They were made out to Genoff & Ty. leer. Thos. G. Patterson. Yael Rozen. staine. J. W. Wood and Mahan & Tyler. A license to run a boarding house was also taken out by Mrs. c. B. Brown.
 'Tt is expected that most Of the business houses will be located on Discovery. Livengood, where it is thought that most of the people will settle"
 Marquam Mining

 During the last few days a letter was received from T. A. Marquam. the attorney who is now in the Tolo- yana. district looking after some in. terests there. At the time of writing. July n, he had his plant in shape. ready to start sinking, and expected to push the work as rapidly as pos sible.
 Tn his letter, he had nothing new to report regarding the finding of pay. Regarding general conditions, he said that grub was scarce. but there was plenty of fresh meat.
 "On Discovery, Livengood, some of the boys captured a very young calf moose and were preparing to raise it. Mir. Marquam does not intend to return to Fairbanks before the mid dle part Of August"
