SCHOOL NEGLECT EVIDENTBLLY IS
 HABIT OF WICK

Word comes from Nome that Dele gate James Wlckersham neglected to pay any attention to request from the city councl and school board Co secure the passage of a law that would permit the Seward Peninsula community Go issue bonds for the purpose of building new school house. The people of that city did not send an unofficial rep resentatlye to Congress. and they will so without a school house until another Congressional session pro- vldes for it
 Wonder What He Wanted
 Juneau people are wondering what Delegate Wickersham means when he says that he had concluded that a majority Of the people Of Juneau did not desire an opportunity to vote upon the question of school bonds. They say that two city councils and two school boards, both chosen by the people of Juneau, had requested the passage of the bill, and that at least should have been evidence that the people would at least like to have the opportunity to express their preference on the subject at an election for that purpose.

ALASKA TREES
 TO BE USED IN
 NORWAY REGION
Norwegian Official Is Here to Secure the Seed to Transplant in
 His Country.

Antone Smltt. forestry expert for the Norwegian government is in the city for the purpose of securing data on the forests and general weather conditions Of this section oi Alaska and also to secure seeds of lall the trees indigenous to South eastern Alaska for The purpose of re- foresting the barren slopes Of the Norwegian mountains.
 Mir. Smitt has been in Alaska for the past two weeks and has been making a general tour of the Ton gass Forest in company with w. IG. Weigle. the forest supervisor The seeds secured will be sent to Norway and there will be planted iu experimental stations The young seedlings which are raised from the seeds secured here will then be transplanted and forests will be started on all lands of western Norway which is unsuitable for az ricultural purposes.
 Western Norway was formerly heavily forestcd with a thick growth of pine and spruce. but within the last hundred years the trees have gradually been cut off until the greater part of the mountaineous land is now barren. lt is in most cases unsulted to agriculture pur- poses and the disappearance of the forests has greatly interferred with the stream flow and water supply. It has also resulted in a marked change Of climate.
 Tho Norwegian government has realized for some time that steps must be taken to reforest the coun- try and after investigation it was decided that the Sitka spruce. which forms the bulk of the forests in Southeastern Alaska. was the prop CT growth for their purpose as the two climates are so nearly equal according to the statements of Mir. Smitt
 Several hundred pounds of tho seeds will be secured from the For est Rangers of Southeastern Alaska for shipment to Norway, within the next couple of months. Wilfr Cab rielson. who is connected with one of the largest papers in Norway, is accompanying Mr. Smitt on the trip. The two men are registered at the Alaskan.

ALASKANS START
 UPON HARD CHASE

If anybody knows a dairyman liy- ing between fifteen and twenty miles Of Seattle, who has a son fa- miliarly known as "Pete," he will re- lieye the anxiety of couple of AL askans registered at the Hotel Nor thern, says the Seattle Times of Aug. S1. It isn't very serious mat ter, but the two Alaskans having come outside for the first time in several years would like to visit Pete's family and let them know that he is doing well.
 With no better clue to Pete's iden- tity save the fact that he was gen. orally called Pete" and had anoth- CT name which they could not pro- nounce the two Alaskans started out to find his family. At the North ern Hotel the clerks were acquaint- ed with a number of men named Pete" and a number of dairymen who live from fifteen to twenty miles distant from Seattle, but none of them fitted the description.
 So 1t is up to somebody else to relieve the anxiety of the Alaska prospectors so that "Pete's" family may know that all is well with him.
