COUNCIL REGULATES SCHOOL FUNDS.

An important decision has just been rendered by Judge
Brown the district court when he refused the application of
the Valdez school board to the town council to make cash
appropriation for school purposes holding that the council
has absolute control all municipal funds and may its
discretion in disbursng the money He held that the
conc could not be compelled to make any particular school
appropriation but is simply bound to furnish funds in its dis
erection to maintain the schools.
During the past few years there has been less
friction in Alaskan communities between the school
trustees and councmen the mode of appropratng NUM-
cpa funds for the maintenance of the Schools and serious
clashes have resulted Under the ruling of Judge Brown the
council is the sole judge of the funds necessary to the
schools and the inference is that it say how this money
shall be expended.

MOUNT M'k|NLEY WAS
FIRST SEEN IN 1884

The giant of the Alaka range be-
held by Steller in 1741 was Mount St.
Elias, and ISL years were to pass be-
fore the Italian Duke of Abruzzi plant
ed his foot upon the summit after
Americans and Englishmen had tried
vainly to attain it.
Mount Mckinley was first reported
in May, 1894. by George Vancouver,
the British navigator, who at the time
was surveying the head of Cook Inlet.
He described Mckinley and it's neigh
Dor, Foraker, as distant stupendous
mountains covered with snow and ap-
parently detached from each other"
The Russians called the greatest noun
tain in their Alaskan domain "Bul-
shaia Cora" which means simply
Great Mountain" and to the native
tribes it was known as Denali, Doleyka
and Tralekr.
Princenton graduate, w. A. Dickey,
a prospector and miner, who explored
the Susitna river in 1896, was respon-
sible for naming the great mountain
Mckinley; and to the neighbor peak
Capt. J. s. Heron, U. S. A., gave the
name of Foraker three years later.
The first man who tried to scale
Mckinley was the Hon. James Wick
ersham Judge of the District of Alaska,
and now territorial delegate to con-
gress. He was somewhat of noun
tain climber. having "d'one" Mount
Rainier, but he got no higher on the
flank of the Alaskan Alp than 10000
feet. More than one desperate siege
was to be made of Mckinley before
the "mushers," Thomas Lloyd and Pete
Anderson, gained the slightly lower
south summit and DIR. Stuck finally
won the supreme height. Prof. Her

ACTIVE BROAD

The Seward Gateway insists that the
Guggenheims are still active in the
Broad Pass district, Notwithstanding
the statements of Stephen Birch to the
contrary. 1t says:
Notwithstanding the statements to
the contrary, and to the effect that
the Guggenheims had abandoned the
Broad Pass district, the information
comes from A d. Nash that the great
smelling people are still in possession
of the Golden Zone group of claims
in that country and were working
early part of the present month. Mr..
Nash arrived a few days ago after
having looked over that country dur
ing the summer. He was at Colorado
City, the distributing point for the
Broad Pass, on August and heard
there that the Guggenheims were still
in possession of the group mentioned,
which comprises claims Nos. 1, 2,
and A. Mr.. Nash was at the Golden
Zone group himself on August 3, ana
found the conditions to be exactly as
they were represented. The Guggen-
helms were still engaged in active ex-
ploration. On the day on which he

major portion of them have now gone

Roosevelt on a compaign tour
couldn't have greeted the newspaper
men more cordially or democratical-
ly. He was surprised, of course but
quite willing to take them along on
his trips about the coal camps of Las
Animas county.
He wanted to meet all the miners,
compliment all the women and make
friends with all the children in every
camp. He succeeded in meeting
many. Those he met were the strike
breakers, imported to replace the
5000 union men who lost the great
Colorado strike. He met only those
whom his agents wanted him to meet.
Forty years he had Stunned COM

The change made him as pleasant
as his advisers tell him his sugar.
coated open-shop policy is. Plenty of
ex-strikebreakers told him they liked
conditions and wages. ,
And he did find conditions better
than ever they have been before in
the history of the coal mining indus
try.
He found that the death of women
and children at Ludlow had brought
about better conditions for the strike
breakers than ever their fathers and
brothers had enjoyed:
Rockefeller had the battle of Lud-

He talked to miners wives about

Denver, sept. Z4.A-JOhn ID. ROOKIE
Teller, Jr., is in Colorado trying to put
a sugar coating on the bitter open
shop pill he told congressional in
vestigating committee a year ago
last April he stood ready to offer his
employees as a substitute for union
ism.
1t is his first visit to the vast coal
properties of the Colorado Fuel &
Iron Co: in II years.
In making it he is employing every
press agent trick in an effort to offset
the famous report of Frank P. Walsh,
chairman of the U. S. commission on
industrial relations.
Each day he visits his coal camps
it is like triumphant procession of
a king among his Yassals.
For the kingdom of Rockefeller has
been set in order since 10 women and
children and strikers were killed at
Ludlow, and his subjects have been
taught to cheer.
An expert was first hired to press
agent this visit of John D. Rockefel-
Ter, Jr., to Colorado.
Ivy Lee was hired as a publicity
man.
''You must practice the art of get
ting believed in" Lee wrote Rookie
teller after the Ludlow massacre, &C
cording to the Walsh records.
So Rockefeller, coming to view the
result of his social welfare substitute
for unionism, didn't overlook the pub
Icity end.
The night before he reached Trini-
dad three friendly newspapers in
Denver and the Associated Press man
were notified that he would begin the
next morning a tour of his coal
camps,
Reporters and photographers were

COMB SAGE TEA IN
 HAIR TO DARKEN IT
Grandma Kept Her Locks Dark, Glossy. Thick, With a Mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray streaked and faded hair is grand mothers treatment, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sen- sible, as living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage.
 Nowadays, though, We don't have tIe troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready to-use product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications. it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive; be- sides, prevents dandruff. itching scalp and falling hair.

 Women now are not only grasping at mans political duties, but they are wrestling back from his their own de- spised vacations, at which man has so excelled,
 It has always been to man a crown of glory and to women a crown of thorns that the chef was man and the cook. the mere cook, a woman But investigation mitigates the re- spective emotions, for it reveals that there are in this city several women who are manager, steward, command ing chef and just ordinary cook in large public restaurants.

"TOHN BARLEYCORN"
 ATTRACTS AT FOX'S

John Barleycorn," the six reel at Fox's today and tomorrow is a story of the life of Jack London and the following preface is self-explana- tory: T must ask you to walk with me in all sympathy and understand ing. I am a normal, average man. To this day I have physical loathing for alcohol. Yet to me, as to every man and at every turna ohm Barley corn has beckoned. All paths led to him. The first when was only five years old" So begins the story of Jack London's encounter with John Barleycorn. The picture is unique in that it is a true story of a mans life, told by himself, and frankly taking the audience into his confidence. No man has ever opened his heart or the pages of his past life more freely than has MT. London in his recital For the sake of driving his lesson home he has been unsparing both in telling of his own conduct and in describing conditions. And when that conduct and that lesson relate to so intimate a side of a mans life as the part drink has played in it, it is readily conceded that in John Barleycorn" the public is offered a production un- like anything it has seen before. Six reels tell the story, beginning with the little chap of five who drinks the beer intended for his father, plow ing in the distant field; and ending with the dramatic fight of the suc- cessful writer of today against the final mastery of Barleycorn. Several other single reel comedies and dramas are offered. John BArleycorn will al so be shown tomorrow with a change of the balance of the program fore
 most among them being Irma Earl, New Britains favorite actress, ln The Yellow Streak a two part darma replete with pretty sentiment and heart interest.

opinion. Women undou bt edly are the cooks when it means working in the ! home kitchen, they say But in big hotel In a public restaurant Pre- posterous! Women had better leave it to the men.
 But that is just what women, g few of them at least, will no longer do. ; They see the sQuabbIing They have gone back, seen kitchens and said they could do better than that. Just go into one of the kitchens where woman has entire or partial charge. The neatness and the calm ness of it are quite astounding. The frightful din. the excitement and the unsanitary conditions that one has learned to associate with them are not to be seen at all.
 Women Bring Neatncss.
 "Women," says Miss Macdonald, a strong, mild and dependable person, will not stand for untidiness. They cannot bear to see 1t around them. They will see to it that their workers obey orders of this sort, and soon it is found that order and cleanliness are easily attained" Her statement was
 
 of the large restaurant and London Lounge, Where nearly 200 Waitresses were busily engaged during the days rush luncheon hour there was abso- lutelN no noise or panic, nor was tho order and neatness of the kitchen in the least disturbed.
 . "Noman is quite up to the nervous strain of this work. The rush excite ment at certain hours of the day means nothing to her if she goes about it in an orderly way. It is merely a matter of system,' said Miss Mac Donald, who ses in this larger work of women a lesson for the individual housekeeper and for the young wom- an who starts home without know ing anything about it.

THE CONSPIRACY" IS
 FINE ATTRACTION

Big Jim Garrity'' will be repeated
 by the Lyceum Players Saturday af- ternoon and evening, also this even ing. It has been one of the most enjoyable attractions offered in a long time. Everybody is enthusiastic over the excellence of the presentation
 The Conspiracy" which will be presented during the coming week, is another of the high class attractions which Manager Birch entered into special arrangements in order to pro- cure. In this play MT. Birch will be seen in the character of Winthrop Clavering. It IS a character of eX- cellent opportunities and the recog- nized merit of MT. Birch is a guaran- tee of the excellence of the presenta- ton it will receive. Miss Galloway will assume the important character of Margaret Holt and Mrs. Hubbard will appear as Juanita Perez, char acter which will surely win new lau- rels for her. Miss Bolton Is cast in the character of Rose Towne. Miss Gertrude Clemens, who made such a favorable impression last week, will be seen again. MT. Cross and MT. Wright have important parts. There are three acts, each chock full of keen dramatic incidents. The action opens in the Refuge, an East Side settle ment house and the remaining acts take place in the Clavering studio. "The Conspiracy" Is a clever play, dealing with the operations of the scarlet band. The co1nbi- nation of absorbing scenes and laughs go to make up clean, wholesome play which teaches strong moral lesson.
