sweetly aggrieved fashion.
Recalling the Seminary.
It's far cry back to grandmother's
seminary, where the girls sat in dutiful
circles and sewed their little seams on
their little pantalettes or painted alb
normal roses on slickery concave
plaques. For girls boarding schools,
like the girls themselves. aren't what
they used to be. Instead of the deli
cate arts we are having sturdy inter-
vocational studies, outdoor work,
activities that viii make girls more fit
to live in practical world. And stur-
diest of the sturdy is particular feat
ure at Mrs. Knox's school for girls.
feature which by some girls might be
considered hardship, but for these is
a great privilege. 1t is nothing more
or less than three days camping every
month in the school year. And while
camping may mean automobiles, camp
cooks and gasolene stoves to some peo-
pie, to the girls at the Knox school it
means long miles of tramping, carrying
their own paraphernalia, erecting tents,
chopping wood, cooking meals. All of
which programme reflects very little of
the finishing school spirit" that we us
ually charge boarding schools with,
and less of the alleged delicacy of
women.
The girls at the Knox school do all
the things that ordinary girls do, these
camping parties plus. And the transit
ton from the schoolroom and the ball
room to the deep, dark woods is to
them very easy step.
Girls Are Perfect Campers.
Girls are better campers than boys"
AYERS Mr.. David Abercrombie, who
mornings runs his campers Quitting
business, and afternoons and even
ings pursues his avocation of camping.
But camping is now a vocation, for he
is a member of the Knox school faculty
and hired for the specific purpose of
taking the girls on their monthly camp
ing trips.
Mr.. Abercrombie talks about his
camping girls with great enthusiasm.
"They're good sports, my girls" he
said proudly, "and ID much rather take
them out than boys. Boys, you know,
are so wise you can't tell them any
thing. And they re not obedent; get
into trouble all the time. But the girls
will listen to you and do what you say.
And they're better In camp than boys,
because they are willing to do camp
work. The boys always want to go off
somewhere and find something and they
don't bother with such minor details
as keeping house"
Didn't you have a dreadful time at
first with the girls?" asked the inter
viewer, having visions of dainty little
maidens hobbling along on their hike,
utterly miserable.
"Not Bit" denied Mr.. Abercrombe.
"The first trip We walked fourteen
miles. No, the girls weren't any more
tender than boys would have been.

know. The sooner people get over that

JOsLIN BELIEVES TOLOVANA
 HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE

After making complete examin- ation of the Tolovana district, Falcon Joslin, president of the Tanana Val ley railroad, thinks that the new diggings will surely make a good small camp, and possibly, even prob ably a large one. While Livingood looks good today, the future of the district depends upon Mike Hess creek, he thinks, and as the prospects there look better than ever, indica- tions are that the future of a big camp is assured.
 While Investigating conditions along Mike Hess creek he saw pans taken from below bedrock on z above which averaged about cent to the pan. On top of bedrock, pans that ran from IS to 20 cents each were taken out.
 Many of the good mining men of the district are now turning their at tention to Mike Hess creek, and there has been a constant stampede on for 
 several weeks.
 On Livengood creek, the only new report within the last few weeks was the striking of pay on the bench op- posite 8 above. Ben Peterson and Nelson are working the ground, and they report that their pay will run Is cents to the pan.
 Telegraph Station. The new radio station erected in the Tolovana by MT. Joslin is now copying messages transmitted be- tween the Fairbanks and Circle wire less stations, but to date MT. Stev- ems, the man in charge of the Tolo- vana plant, has not been able to ad- just the apparatus so that it can transmit messages. It is expected that he will have it working within the next few days, however, at which time business will be taken up with Fairbanks.
 The rates between Fairbanks and the Tolovana will be $2.50 for ter words, or any number of words less than ten, and 25 cents per word fol each word over ten. Of this, the gov ernment will get 50 cents for the frs ten words, and five cents per wore for all over ten.-Fairbanks Times

JOE DIERINGER
 GROWS BIG POTATOES.

Any person who doubts the possi- bilities of the Valdez district to be- come self-sustaining in so far as fresh vegetables are concerned will quickly become convinced of their error by gazing into the window of the Love- Whitley butcher shop, where home grown Irish spuds weighing nearly two pounds each are on display. The potatoes were grown in the garden of Jos. Dieringer and without blem- fish. Cauliflower is also shown which weigh between five and six pounds, and celery stalks IS inches long, pure white and delicious1y crisp. MT. Whitley is also showing sunflower stalks which reach to the nine-foot ceiling which grew in the garden of Mrs. Fucker.
 Valdez should have held an agri- cultural fair similar to those of Skag- way and Fairbanks in order that the public might judge for themselves of the productiveness of the Valdez soil.

A. Amman and wife, who have been developing valuable copper properties in the interior in the Kot- gina district, returned to Valdez yes terday afternoon. MT. Amman has been passing into the interior each spring for several years, and Mrs. Amman always accompanies him. She is typical of the superior class of women who are pioneering Alaska by prefering to share the hardships of their husbands in their efforts to develop the resources of the Terri tory.

Robert Wiley, one of the best known mining men in the north, who has spent several days in Valdez, will be an outgoing passenger on the Ad- miral Evans for the states. MT. Wiley is one of the first white men to be attracted to the head of the White river mineral belt and has sev- eral valuable copper claims in that district patented. Lack of transpor- tation is the only thing which pre- vents that district from becoming 8 big producer of the metal which is now in such big demand.

POLL ACQUIRES
ANOTHER THEATER

Yet another link has been added to ihs
extensive chain OF theaters owned and
operated by Sylvester u. Poll and num-
bering twenty-five leading thcaters In
different cities and States. by the acqui-
sition OF the beautiful and famous Acad-
emy of Music in Baltimore. one of the
best known legitimate houses in the
United States.
A flying trip to Baltimore Thursday by
Mr.. Poll conference with Mr.. Nixon
who operates the Academy OF Music
there. and the control and operation
passed to Mr. Poll. the playhouse to b.
shortly opened under his direction and
by the installation of the Poll Players In
a series of high-grade stock and dra-
matte productions.
Up to within two months, and for two
seasons past, Mr.. Poll has occupied the
Auditorium Theater in Baltimore with
the Poll Players. and they are credited
with being uniformly successful and
popular, so much so that when the lease
of the Auditorium expired and Mr.. Poll
could not come to satisfactory terms re-
garding a renewal of the lease the Poll
Players were withdrawn and Mr. Poll
temporarily retired from the Baltimore
field.
The withdrawal of the Poll Players was
followed Immediately by a persistent de-
mand on the part of theatergoers for Mr.
Poll to return to Baltimore, and the
columns OF the local press carried numer-
Gus requests of this nature. On the basis
that a manager must cater to the de-
sires Of his patrons. Mr.. Poll yielded to
their wishes and has taken over the
Academy OF Music.
