Mr. Ostrolenk goes to The National
Farm School as it's director with an
enviable reputation as a teacher and
as an administrator, and it is felt that
the fact that, having one of it's own
graduates to head the work Of the In
stitution, will have a most inspiring
and rejuvenating influence on the
school and its activities. Mr.. Ostro-
lenk is expected to assume charge of

Taking into consideration that Mr..
Ostrolenk was an immigrant boy, and

there, The National Farm School may
we'll be proud of it's achievement in
bringing back to it's institution, as it's

who graduated from it ten years ago.

THE MORRIS LASKER HALL.

A very handsome donation has re-
Gently been made by the Lasker fam
lily, of Galveston, Texas, in memory of
the late departed head of the family,
Mr.. Morris Lasker. The donation is
to assume the form of a Domestic
Hall, which is to be known as Morris
Lasker Hall, and on which the family
is to expend the sum of SIS, 900. This
building is to provide for all the do
mestic needs of the institution. It
will contain kitchen, dining room and
laundry, equipped for the care of 200
students, as we'll as for the faculty and
matrons, domestics and janitors. 1t
will also contain suites of rooms for
members of the faculty and the ma
irons; linen room, store rooms, cold
storage, cellar for the storage of large
quantities of vegetables, fruits, provi-
slons, canned goods, and the like.
Messrs. Magaziner & Potter, archi-
tects, are at the present time, drawing
the plans, and building operations will
begin early in the spring.
The National Farm School is in the
hope of soon securing building, in
which instruction shall be given in a
number of mechanical trades, such as
carpentry, blacksmithing, saddlery,
wheelwrighting, stonemasonry, brick
laying, plumbing, electrical mechanics
and the like,-trades that are needed
in the country, especially when colon
ization of Jews shall be taken up on
a large scale. This, of course, will
mean a much larger student-body than

Ezra and Nehemiah, the two most
jealous restorers of Israel's faith and
law. They came to Palestine at the
head of colony of Jews from Persia.
Conditions in Judea were very de-
plorable. The Jews, descendants of
the first colonists who had returned
from Babylonian captivity, were in
a disorganized state religiously and
politically, and were struggling
against many untoward circumstance
es. The two great leaders came to
remedy these evils. They improved
and strengthened the peoples mate
rial conditions and introduced a con-
stitution and code of. laws for their
government. From their point of
view, however, the greatest evil to
be eradicated was the many mixed
marriages the Jews had contracted.
Whether there were not enough
women of their own among them, or
whether the gentle women were
more attractive, the Jews had inter
married with all the neighboring ma
tons. Domestic confusion was the
result. The children were raised in
the faith Of their mothers, spoke
their language, followed their Gus
toms, and the greatest danger of
complete decentralization and disinte-
grafton threatened the young, weak,
and struggling community. With
the zeal of the religious reformers
Ezra and Nehemiah decided to
change all that For them, how
ever, it was not enough to prohibit
such marriages in the future. The
marriages already contracted had to
be dissolved, and the foreign wives
unceremoniously put away.
From our point of view that was
an extremely fanatical and heartless
measure But religious zealots know
no pity, and feel no remorse, and
the measure was vigorously and
ruthlessly carried out
There were some men, however,
with more tender hearts, finer SEN
sibilities and broader sympathies,
who wished to raise their voices in
protest against such high-handed
proceedings. They could not see
what harm after all the gentle wom-
en- had done, that SO many homes
and hearts should be broken. One
of those men probably wrote the
story of Ruth, in which he tells the
jealous reformers that it was a Gen.
tile woman, the Moabitish Ruth,
who was the ancestress of King Da-
vid. That was his motive in telling
the story.

JUDGE SORRY

Judge Spence, U, s. attorney, ar rived in Seward recently to rrake final arrangements for the sale of liquor here which had been confiscated neap Anchorage.
 In discussing the various protests against the sale of this liquor Judge Spence said 1t was unfortunate, but he law under which this liquor was seized and the owners jailed provides specifically that the liquor shall be sold to the highest bidder.
 "I would gladly have seen it dumped overheard from the scow," said Judge Spence. "It is too bad tha' the weather on the way round was not SO severe that the crew wouI; have been forced to throw it overheard td Iighteni ship but 1t Is here and must be sold. Fortu- nately some of the bottles smashed.

Whether Sulzer wins or whether Wickersham is victorious in the present election, which will be un- certain until all precincts are re- ported, it is certain that a legal bat tie will ensue. Sulzer packers are rs, orted to be preparing to protest many of the precincts and it Is said also that the Wickersham cam pairn managers are preparing to mako a fight. At present the in dications are that the house of representatives will be called up on to pass upcn the election re- turns.
 According to information received bv the News7Min.r the Wickersham managers are Investigating the precincts in which soldiers voted and may try to have many of them thrown out, particularly Tanana and & Michael. In case Sulzer is foun 70 vhae a majority of the votes, rumor has it that Wickersham may go so far as to attempt to have the whole election held invalid.
 Tn regard to the soldiers vote, it is reported that should Wickersham attempt to have St. Michael and Tauana thrown out, the Democrats would ask to have the Fairbanks vote thrown out, as soldiers voted here also.
 Iu political circles, it is rumored also that the people of the Sec onI division did not register as they did in other divisions, and for that reason an attempt may be made to have the whole division thrown out.
 This, in all likelihood, would in volve the validity of the election law passed by the last legislature. A number of attorneys questioned as to the act have expressed Opin- 'ons that part or all of the act is invalid.
