 "Be it resolved by the city council Of the city of Juneau that from and after the - day of . an lights now maintained by the city of Juneau outside of the city limits be discon- tlnucd, that from and after said date all fire hydrants now maintained out side the city limits by the city of Jul neau be taken out and discontinuedi and furthermore that from and after the date above mentioned no child residing outside the city limits be per mitted to attend the Juneau public schools without first paying the sum of - per month, payable each month in advance to the secretary of the school board.
 And all city officers, city employ ees, and heads of departments, are hereby Instructed to carry out the pro- visions of this resolution so far as they come under their iurIsdiction.'
 As shown at the meeting this reso- lution is the direct result of the deter mined opposition which has developed on the part Of a few of the outside residents to the proposed extension of the city limits
 The extension ordinance is the re- suit of a request on the part of prop erty owners on the outside that they be admitted, but few who are enjoy Ing the rights of citizens for the use Of streets, fire protection and iights, which are being paid for by the prop erty owners inside the limits, have been nlibustering against the proposed i measure.
 These outsiders pay no taxes and they set all the privileges. They | send their children to the Juneau schools free. which is being paid for st the rate of $66.0O per child perl fear by the tax payers, and as the out iiders pay nothing it is no more than light they pay tuition" said Mayor aeck.

A FESSENDEN MEMORIAL,

The Boston Transcript approves utilz-
ing the balance of the Reed statue fund
as the nucleus of collection to defray
the cost of a memorial to William Pitt
Fessenden, one of the worthiest of
Names many worthless. 1t points out
that Fessenden was famous as financier
and as an orator, a man of solid abilities,
distinguished in the Senate and in admin
istration. His opinions were highly val
ued by Lincoln, who appointed him secre
tary of the treasury in succession to
Chase. After brief but very success
full tenure of office Fessenden returned
to the Senate. There he voted against
the impeachment of Andrew johnson.
Fessenden died in 1869, while Republicans
were still bitter against those who &C.
quilted johnson, and perhaps this cir
cumstance may account for the indiffer-
ence to his fame which has inspired the
promoters of the proposed memorial to
organize for the erection of "the tardy
bust" as the due of "buried merit"
However that may be, Fessenden is far
more worthy of being commemorated
than many whose statues "adorn" New

AUXILIARY SAILERS POPULAR.

The satisfactory results obtained by
installing auxiliary power in sailing ves-
sells in the home trade of Great Britain is
evidenced by the new vessels of this
type that are being ordered, while it is
believed that auxiliary power in the
shape of internal combustion machinery
will be found to be even more profitable
in the ocean going sailer as in long voy-
ages the sails can be hoisted and kept up
for days on end, with favorable wind,
where it is not always worth while to
take advantage of wind for few hours
in the coasting trade. A good example
of an auxiliary motor schooner is the
Hjalmar Sorensen, which recently COM
pleted her trials. This vessel is 165 by
SO by IL feet. Her fuel capacity is sixty
tons, giving navigating radius of from
5000 to 10, 900 knots at full speed. The
auxiliary engine consists of four CYL l.
der 24O horsepower Bolinder hot-bulb
engine, giving speed of 8 IL knots I'M
der power alone. The Sorensen was de-
signed to run between Denmark and
Brazil. Quite q number Of other large
auxiliaries are building in British yards
to engage in long distance trade to be
equipped with paraffin, hot-bulb motors.

THE END IS NOT YET.

AVE- n
Itmust be wonder to the layman who
is interested in the craze for more laws
to govern the operation Of navigators
how the sailing shipmaster Of the clipper
and packet shipmasters of from thirty to
fifty years ago ever got anywhere after
leaving port through the lack of their
officers and crews being certified to as to
experience by officers of the Government
as at present arranged by Congress and
the Administration at the present day.
Most of our readers have become as
familiar as it is possible to be with the
conditions of that outrageous Seamen's
Union Bill. But steamship operators
have only begun to learn from Congress
what Is in store for them in the way of
expense and perplexities as the Depart
ment learns from more careful study of
the bill the amount of detail it has to
work out before putting it's provisions in
force. None but Furuseth knew where.
the jOkers in the bill were. not even the
committee of both Houses of Congress,
for the reason that they were not ex-
perts III the ways and means necessary
for the successful pursuit of commerce
and navigation on the high seas.
Seamen's Union Bill at Washington is
that every American seaman between
now and July LIST must, before receiving
his license as an able seaman and listed
as such after examination, have an i'm
press of his fingerprints taken and regis
tered at the Department of Commerce,
which has applied to the Coast Guard
Gate Revenue Cutter Servlce) for as
sistance, as it is estimated that there
will be 10000 of these. Each man who
passes the examination as an liable sea-
man" or Certified life boatman" will
receive card, giving his classification,
on which will appear his fingerprlnts as
mark of identification as we'll as his sign.
These cards are to be accepted by the
masters of vessels as qualifications. The
tlngerprint system is to be used to pre-
vent fraud. Without such safeguard
man who had qualified as an able seaman
or as certified life boatman could sell
his card to one who never had been at
sea. (How terribly awful!-Ed.)
After Furuseth and La Toilette 8 elm
ination of all that has been dangerous
through ocean travel which their bill
practically contends was caused by in
efficient seamen, there will be but little
for the officers of the ship to do there
after but to give the boss able seaman a
daily memorandum of course and dis
lance to be sailed, to entertain the pas
sengers and enjoy themselves.
AS these jokers in the bill are discov-
cred by the experts in Washington and
the manner of their enforcement made
public, the Marine Journal will endeavor
to keep its readers informed of their dis
covery. 1t is evident that the end is rot
yet.-The Marine Journal.

AN AMBITIOUS SCHOOLS
OF Which Rev. J. W. Hatch, Formerly of
Belfast, Is Principal.

Montpelier Seminary, the secondary
school established as Newbury Seminary,
changed to Vermont Methodist Seminary
and now bearing the title given above, is
the one private educational institution In
Vermont that is planning campaign of
development and greater field OF use
fitness. At meeting of its trustees held
last Friday, R. Clipstcn Sturgis of Bos-
ton, one of the most widely known archi-
tects of the country, presented plans Tor
new dormitories and new dining hall
and central heating plant for the whole
set of buildings. The plans for the dorml-
tories are of the latest approved style
with the students arranged in groups OF
twenty under the supervision OF an officer
of the school. There will be common
dining room, library and reception room
and several parlors. Each dormltory
will be only two stories high, the rooms
made homelike and attractive and the
whole as plain and simple as comfort and
good taste will dictate. These new build
dormitories.
This is an ambitious plan for any school
to adopt under present financial condi-
tions az a large amount of money will be
necessary to carry it out. But the school
is prosperous under the management of
it's new principal. DR.. ]. w. Hatch is
getting it financially grounded SO its per-
manence is no longer questionable and it
needs additional facilities to enable it to
accommodate the large field from which
it can draw students. Principal Hatch
possesses the courage to successfully
undertake this immense improvement
scheme and he has carried the work to
such a stage that the trustees will aid
him in formulating an appeal for finance.
They have become enthused over the
prospect and are confident that it can be
successfully carried out.
Such pleasing prospect for this grand
old college preparatory school will bring
encouragement and stimulate to splendid
effort the host of graduates and friends
scattered throughout the country.-St.
