NEGRO REFORM SCHOOL,
4. M. E. Presiding Elders Gall Upon
 Governor Hays for Aid.

lLittle Rock Gazette,
 The Rev. J. c. Robinson of Pine Bluff, and the Rev. w. T. Pope of Argenta, both presiding elders in the African Methodist Episcopal church called upon Governor Hays yesterday iE the interest of reform school for negroes, and to secure the appoint ment of a commission to attend the fiftieth anniversary of negro free dom, which will be held in Chicago in August.
 "fhe method now employed iu hording youthful lawbreakers wnn hardened criminals" said Pope, "is but q school of crime, and turns what might otherwise be made a useful member of society into a menace. The efforts now being made by cer- tain persons to realize a <und for the establishment of a school, which has not the sanction of the state should be discOura5 5ed. Not, however, that VIC are unwilling to contribute: but feel that it should be done, co-opera lively and under the management of the state government"
 The governor said that he ia in hearty sympathy with any movement looking forward the salvation of the irresponsible youths of the negro race, and had it been possible to have erected a reform school for negroes he would have recommended it to the present legislature

AMENDMENTS ID BRANCH NORMAL
 PROVOKE TALK
Generally Conceded That Property Occupied Is Not
 Worth $50,Oo0.

Considerable comment was caused in Pine Bluff yesterday over the action of Representa- E. ". Brockman of Jefferson county, in offering two amendments to the bill relative to the change in the location of the Branch Normal college here, both of which amendments were carried by the house in committee Of the whole, after which the hill was reported to the house with the recommendation that "it do pass"
 Representative Broekman's princi- pal amendment changed the bill so that the present site must be sold for price not less than $50,000, the bill originally having fixed the minimum sale price at $20,000. His second amendment YVES that the 200 acres to be donated as the new site for the i college must be gi ven the state in fee | simple. 5@ The following telegram from Rep resentative T., A. Wilson to the Chanl- Der of Commerce bearing on the mat 1 ter was received late Friday night:
 "Brockman amended Branch Nor- nal bill. placing minimum value OF i pfOFafGY GL 6aU,UUo. luStGdu 'A PAV,- 00O Does proposition of Chamber of Commerce still stand under these con- ditions and will it guarantee sale at this price? Answer Not WortE, S50,900.
 The following telegram in reply was sent to MT. Wilson yesterday by President N. J. Can't of the Chamber of Commerce:
 We can find no one versed on real estate values, who considers Bra.4cL Normal property worth more thail s20 GOO. Norris property, west, with more railroad facilities, selling at $1,- 600 per acre. Branch Normal con- tains twenty acres. If sold in dwell
 ing 60-foot lots. would not average $500 per lot Bayou cuts off part and Norris addition, adjoining west ard north, selling at $2o0 to $500 per let There are three lots to the acre. Pine Bluff could not agree to erarantee $50 o00, believing that S20,- GOO is liberal, especially in view o1 guarantee 200 acres for new site, all to be accept2 ble to state trustees Very unfortunate that whole bill and
 mantaranee is jeopardized by MT Brockman's amendment, and hope, for gcod of county, he will withdraw it. ;
 Secretary E. B. Bloom of the Cham
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1915-03-07

Der of Commerce stated yesterday aft ernoon that the telegram from Presi- dent Can't to Representative Wilson practically covered the entire matter.
 Mr. Bloom said that Mir. Brockman YVES in error in stating that the pres ent site of the college could be cut into building lots, six lots to the acre, each lot to be placed on the market at S750
 "Only three 60-foot lots can be ob- tained from each acre." said Mir. Bloom, "and there is no property in that section bringing more than $500 per 60-foot lot, which is considerably less than MT. Breckman said the prop erty is worth

More Than 400 Pine Bluff Boys
 Attended the Jordan Academy
At Least Fourth of This Number Will Join in Dem onstration to Former
 Mentor.

tAt least leo men who attended tue Jordan academy in years gone by will take part in a demonstration 70 their former meator, pr. Junlus Jor- tan, next Friday evening. pr. Jof- dan is now superintendent of the public school system of Pine Bluff, and his former pupils arc co-operat- ing in an effort to show how they esteem him. as well as display ap- D, eciation of the part he has had in moulding their characters. The demonstration will luke the form of banquet at the Jefferson hotel next Friday March IF, and the affair promises to be one of the most t,elightful that has taken place In tl.is city.
 meeting of the committee in charge of the event was held Fri day afternoon ot the office of Charles Eaycock, when it was found that ap- proximately 60 former students of tha academy had already arranged to participate in the demonstration. The committee men arc busy, endeavorlnS to communicate with other Jordan beys who nave not yet been reached. As many of the "boys" are now iccated in other cities, it is realized that not all can be brought to- gether, but the committeeman are enleavoring to secure the presence or all those in this immediate vicin- fly.
 It was pointed out at the meeting Friday that, although more than 400 ttys attended tee academy, not one tn the number has become peoa- sogue, bnt ishe school is we'll repre- sented in almost all other profes- s.ons, pursuits and trades. :Iordhn Academy ''Boys."

SOME EARLY HISTORY OF NOME

were massacred by Indians from the Koyukuk When the town was rebuilt
 it was moved a mile or more up the river to it's present location on d low gravel bench between Nulato slough
 and Nulato river.
 About 1850 the great activity among
 many of the different nations, notably
 the English, in searching for the
 Franklin expedition, resulted in several ships wintering in the waters of Rot
 zebue sound. From these ships. several exploring parties visited neighboring
 areas and added geographical data. Among the overland trips were the
 exploration of Selawik lake and vicin- ity by Surgeon Simpson of II. M. S. Plover the trip from Chamisso island by way of Buckland and Koyuk rivers to St Michael by Lieutenant Pim of the same ship and the exploration of the Buckland river by Capt Kellet and officers of H M S. Herald
 Probably the first important inland
 exploration was that made in lS6b-67
 by d party led by Baron Otto von
 Bendeleben, in the employ of the
 Western Union Telegraph Company who proposed to build a telegraph line through Alaska and across Boring I ln1 rts of America and Europe Von Bendeleben's
 party actually constructed Il few miles
 first to start a commercial enterprise on Seward Peninsula The party ascended the Niukluk river, crossed the
 portage to the kruzgamepa and then down to Port Clarence Of greater in- terest is the fact that von Bendeleben
 Is said to have found alluvail gold on Niukluk river If such were the case, placer gold was found here earlier than in any other part of Alaska except at Cook Inlet, where Doroshin, a mining engineer. sent out by the Russian gov ernment discovered gold in 1854. The telegraph construction was discontinu-
 ed after the successful laying of the Atlantic cable Non Bendeleben's party
 was disbanded and all returned 10 their
 homes in the states IL seems probable, therefore, that no one attached any i'm portance to this occurrence of placer gold, nevertheless Daniel E. Libby, a
 member of von Vendelebens expedition of 1866 was also member of the pros pecting party which 32 years later in the winter of 1S97-8 discovered gold on Ophir and Melsing creeks and in April,
 1898, organized the "Discovery District"
 now the Council district.
 In 1867 the whole of Alaska was
 ceded to the United States by Russia for the sum of $7,20O.O00 During the next three decades or until the discov- cry of gold in the Klondke in 1896 very little attention was paid to Alaska. It
 was regarded for the most part as n
 bleak and barren waste and those who
 thought of it at all did so only to con-
 demn the administration for it's folly
 in paying so large sum of money for
 worthless territory. A few adventur-
 ous spirits had penetrated the Yukon
