SemiCentennial exposition is the
subject of an editorial appearing in

Eastern newspapers are beginning
to consider such an exposition seri-
ously is commented upon fayorably
as an indication that the develop
ment of the government railroad
project will turn capital and popu-
lation toward the Northland and
furnish the excuse for the proposed
fair which will be international in
character.
The Times states that, as public
ity propositions, such expositions
unquestionably have merit.
COLLEGE BILL BLOCKED.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 60
The efforts of Delegate Wickersham
to secure the establishment of a
common school system in Alaska
through the passage of his school
bill have been blocked by Repre-
sentative p ID Norton ReDublican
of North Dakota. The bill, which
has already passed the senate, was
considered in the house today by I'M
animous consent. and failed to come
to vote because Congressman Nor
ton opposed the measure on the
grounds that it provided for the
establishment of an agricultural col
lege at Fairbanks. He contended
that the location of the college
should be left for the territorial
legislature to decide, lnaSmuch as
all the other details relating to the
establishment Of the school system
were left to that body.
Delegate Wickersham claims that
John Ballaine, of Seward, is respons-
ible for Nortons opposition, it be-
ing the hope of the coast promoter
to secure the college for Seward.
He says that Ballaine has been
lobbying against the bill with that
object in view.
Wickersham will make another eff
fort to secure the passage Of the
bill, under a suspension of the rules
during the present session of con-
gress.
