primary school apportionment amount
ing to s6,438,075.45 to be distributed
among the various school districts

superintendent of Public Instruction
Fred l.. Keller. The apportionment
which is one of the largest in recent
years will be divided among $40, 1877
school children, a per capita OF $7.S5
and can be used only for the payment
OF teachers wages. There are a few
districts in the state that will not
share in this years apportionment due
to the fact that such districts have
primary school funds on hand suffi-
cient to pay teachers salaries for a
period OF two years, and under the
law are not entitled to share in the
apportionment this year.
Wayne county leads in the number
of school children who will share In

amount to be discussed.

NORTHERN CANADA IS
 BEING RAPIDLY DEVELOPED

It will be we'll to keep an eye on Canada. That immense domain has mighty possi bilities, and although there Is disposition on this side of the border to regard incred- ulously the many enthusiastic prophecies made for it, most of them are likely to be fulfilled
 Here for instance, is something calcu- lated to surprise Americans: Ten light houses have been established in Hudson bay and railroad has been nearly completed from Winnipeg to Port Churchill on its western shores. For five months in the year Hudson bay and the straits connecting it with the Atlantic ocean at the south of Greenland are navigable by steamships The route thus afforded for the shipment of grain from the great wheat fields of south western Canada to Europe is much shorter and cheaper than any now available.
 Hudson bay Is associated in the minds of the majority of people with ice Hoes, polar bears and Eskimos. But its outlet is farther south than all of Alaska except its southernmost strip of coast. Its lati- tude is about that of the north end of

GRANDSON OF VICTORIA
 LOSES HIS LIFE IN BATTLE

LONDON. Dec 3. Prince Maurice of Battenburg the youngest grandchild of Queen Victoria. and a lieutenant in the British army was killed by shrapnel bull let from a bursting shell while leading his company of the king's Royal Rifles at Ypres
 The prince was great favorite with Queen Victoria and passed the first few years of his life continuously in her com pany.
 Just few days before his death he wrote to a member of his family T am having the time of my life Don't bother about me It is like picnic com mandered chicken and cooked it with eggs Tell Mrs - the princess's cook that it was better than anything she ever cooked"
 Prince Maurice was the youngest son of Princess Henry of Battenberg, and first cousin of King George He was 23 years of age, and was the only prince born in Balmoral castle In fact, no other prince has been born in Scotland since 1900, when Charles l. was born at Dunfermline.

TO UNITE FACTIONS
 OF ARCTIC BROTHERHOOD

When informed of the action taken by the grand camp of the Arctic Brotherhood in regard to reunitng all factions, at it meeting in Seattle Henry T. Ray, grand Arctic chief. expressed himself as much pleased, and stated that it was in accord ance with his views and recommendations, says the Fairbanks Times of November l6
 Ever since being elected to the chair of grand Arctic chief a year ago, MT. Ray has worked necessarily for the reunion of the factions, and many of his friends in Fairbanks consider that 1t was due almost entirely to his efforts that the unpleasant situation was brought to a happy ending
 The break was caused by the action of the grand camp when, at its meeting in Van couver in 1912, it voted to grant charters to Arctic Brotherhood camps outside of Alaska The following March a meeting was held at Juneau, at which sixteen camps were represented, and some of these, par ticularly those along the southeastern coast of the territory voted to secede and to retain the same name, and with the positive understanding that no meeting should be held south of 54 degrees 20 minutes. In July, 1913, a meeting was held at Juneau, at which Governor Strong was chosen grand Arctic chief of the "outlaw" organization.
 Early last winter, after returning to Fair banks from the States Mir Ray got in touch with the governor and urged that efforts be made to get the factions together again The grand Arctic chief then com municatcd with all the camps in Alaska and urged upon them the advisabihty of giving their delegates to the convention definite instructions and also advised that the grand camp adjourn its Seattle meeting until March, to be held at Juneau, when the legislature is in session.
 In the "outIaw' organization the reunion has been urged, and the differences have been adjusted
 Mir Ray expects that when the meeting is held at Juneua all camps will be repre- sented, and that thereafter the grand camp will never meet in the States
 Like the Alaskans of the Southeast, MT Ray says that the organization is purely Northern, and he is quite as anxious as anyone that it retain its character as such The grand Arctic chief states that he would like to attend the meeting at Juneau in March. but at present he Is unable to say whether or not he will be able to do SO.
 All Fairbanks A. B.'s are delighted over the outcome of the Seattle meeting, and number of applications for membership have been received, and it is expected that the members will show the same old en- thusiasm that was in evidence in the early days in Alaska,

WASHINGTON-ALASKA BANK
 AGAIN OCCUPIES ATTENTION
lEairhanks News Miner. Nov. l3l

Fairbanks News Miner, Nov. l3)
 Next Wednesday will mark another i'm portant chapter in the pitiful and tragic history of the Washington Alaska bank failure It should be one of the most, if not the most, important dates in the long, intricate legal efforts to save something from the wreck for the unfortunate deposi- tors.
 It will be November lS the date that the Bernette trust deed goes into effect per hitting the sale of large amount of prop erty owned by himself and Isabelle Bar nette, his wife, to cover losses not made up by the sale of other assets of the bank which he established and in which he served as president until it closed January 5, l91l By that deed he temporarily re lieved himself from suits for the recovery of judgments because of his legal rcsponsi- bility as an official of the institution Also by that deed he made the recovery from other officials of the defunct bank diff cult, since they have contended with all the strength at their command that by glv- ing the deed Barnette himself assumed sole responsibility for the losses, and 1t was accepted by the old receivers as such.
 However, Judge Fuller held last summer
 
 that judgments might be secured against the old directors, and they were secured, as their responsibility was not relieved by Barnettes trust deed The court held that the Barnette trust deed should be enforced when the time came and make up any deh- cit that existed at that date.
 This trust deed was drawn up in favor If Receivers F. w Hawkins and E. H. Mack, and is to cover "any deficit that may hereafter be ascertained as between the amounts due to such depositors and own CTS of unpaid drafts, with 6 per cent in terest thereon from January ,, 1911, until paid" Up to date 50 per cent of these roven claims have been paid by the sale of other assets, leaving a similar amount to still be paid off if possible.
 The Barnette property, besides some city and mining property on local creeks, con ssts of an extensive land holding in Mexico

A. BIS TO SMOKE.

At last Sunday evenings meeting of Camp Iditarod, A. B., 1t was decided that here after, commencing with next Sunday nights meeting, a smoker will be given, to follow the regular business session. The first of these smokers is to be for members only, but it IS the intention later to give one for the general public. It is hoped by this means to awaken more interest in the af fairs of the camp which is now in flour ishing condition.
 All members of Camp Iditarod Camp Flat and visiting A. B's are cordially invited to be present, and a good time is assured by the entertainment committee, which is ar ranging program. There will be light re- treatments and "smokes.'
 Holiday Events Successful
 Reports wer received from the committees having charge of the Christmas tree and entertainment given on Christmas eve, and also from the committee which managed the mask ball on New Years eve.
 The report of the Christmas tree con. mittee showed that Q total of S2l7 was subscribed for the purpose, and that after paying all expenses incurred, including dec orations, trees presents for the children, labor, refreshments, etc, there was bal ance Of s775, which was turned in to partly defray the expense of lighting and heating the hall during the several days it was used by those engaged in the work of prepara- ton and on the night of the entertain ment.
 The report on the masquerade ball given on New Years eve showed that after pay ing all expenses a tidy sum was left to be turned into the camps treasury.
