FEAST OF PURIM
TO Be OBSERVED
JEWISH FESTIVAL DAY WILL BE
USHERED IN NEXT SUNDAY.
WHAT 1T MEANS.

The Jewish festival of Purim, known
also as the Carnival of the Jews, will
be celebrated Sunday, March 10, in
Brunswick and throughout the coun-
try. In many communities IL is mar
ked by social festivities, and in
Columbus It will be marked by the
usual ball, the date to be given later.
The day is associated with an inter
change of gifts among friends and re
membranes to the poor
The festival is based on the account
given in the Book of Esther. This ac-
count comprises the romantic career of
a Jewish maiden who rises from OBJ
security to the throne of Persia. Her
womanly charms bring her the admira-
ton of king, and her tact and discre-
ton save her kindred in a tragic hour
OF danger. The story is typical of the
persecution to which Jews have been
subjected and of the providential res
cues they have had in their eventful
history IL has accordingly acquired
Significance and popularity, not only
as book for reading. but also as a
basis for festive edfication.
The book of Esther describes types
of character in strong contrasts, the
king dispensing favors and frOwns,
according to his mood; a willy minister
of state, conceited, selfish and without
conscience to satisfy his greed and am
bition; the Jew, humble to the utmist
limits of self-sacrifice; and, finally,
the queen, representive of Jewish wo-

The coming congress ends in March and more rapid action is expected on all bills.
 It is probable that Seward will see little of the chairman next year as all of the construction work will be in the interior except that along Turn again arm and his duties will keep him somewhere near the front" that ever moving section on new rail road where the questions to be decided are most numerous.
 Considerable of the funds for this years work on the railroad are tied up in supplies and construction ma terial, which will be used during the winter or early next spring
 The report now being drawn up by the commission will show clearly just how much of the money received so far has gone into equipment which will be used in building the entire line and how much has been used in clearing, grading and track work al ready accomplished
 All of the money expended in the town Of Anchorage for municipal i'm provements Is to be collected from the property owners by assessments covering not only street Improvements but the cost of the water plant When the government gives deeds to the lots at the expiration of five years and turns the municipal control over to a council the city will then own it's water plant

GRAND JURY IN SCHOOLS AND
 |NDIGENTS

The grand jury, in its recent report made the following recommendations in reference to the schools and the indigent of the territory.
 In the several precincts n this Thrrd division there is at present no provisions made for the care Of the indigent, other than the fund dis bursed by the district judge. the hal ance of which fund. we understand, has n hp turned into the department at the end of each quarter, nor is there any provision made for the bur ial of people without means or friends or relatives to provide this service. We would respectfully recommend that a fund be provided for this pur- pose. and that the U. & commissioner in the several precincts be authorized to use the same when necessary for these purposes.
 We are advised the territorial gov ernment has no jurisdiction over the schools other than that delegated the governor in the Nelson bill. As the several municipalities throughout the territory find the funds secured through municipal taxation inadequate for the proper maintenance of the public schools and the fact that sey- eral children are attending these schools whose parents are not resi- dents or taxpayers of the municipali, ties. we would respectfully petition congress to grant the territorial legis lature the power to enact legislation whereby a part of the territorial funds could be used for the maintenance of public schools.
 The grand jury comments the work of the Alaska division of the bureau of education. department of interior among the natives of Alaska.

Attention Is being called to the Of fieial ballot which, as it is printed under the election law by the terri torial legislature, gives rise to con siderable confusion where names of candidates are similar.
 The case at hand is that Of W. J Henry and W. P Henry. both of whom are candidates for the assembly. So far as the average voter outside of Seward and Anchorage is concerned few know these Henrys apart, there being no way to judge except by the "J'' and the "P."
 fiad tine legislature made 6 r=Hgs- sion for a party designation to foHow the name on the ballot, or some other means of Identification such as resi- denee this could have been obviated, W. P.

 "Only 20 miles of track were laid the first year. as we had a late start, " said the chairman. By December of this year 66 miles of new steel will be laid, which includes work done be- tween Anchorage and Turnagain arm, work on the main iine and the line to the coal fields.

CALVIN OP EWING UP COPPER
 PROPERTY

J. c. Calvin the we'll known mining man, had an option on the Berry Morton property near Ellamar, is now engaged in opening up a copper pro perty in Groundhog basin, about IS miles from Wrangell In reference to this project, the Wrangell Sentinel says:
 J. G. Calvin. of the Bon Alaska Min ing Company, arrived from New York Thursday, MT Calvin will leave in a couple of days with a force of fiji teen men for the GrOundhog basin, where his property is located
 From the mouth of Mill creek, eight miles from Wrangell, a wagon road will be built to Groundhog basin, distance of about ten miles. Work will begin at once on the construction of dock and warehouse at the mouth of Mill creek. The necessary houses will also be built for the men who will Ee at work there this winter. Sev- eral horses which arrived on the Hum boldt Thursday night will be taken in with the party and used to pack sup plies over the trail.
 As soon as the snow clears away in the spring the work of laying steel for the railroad from the mouth of Mill creek to the mine will be begun It may be that a portion of the wagon road will be used as a right of way for the railroad Once the laying of steel is begun the railroad will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible in order that shipments of ore may begin.
 The work done this winter will be chiefly in the nature of preliminary work. It is MT. Galvins intention to get everything in readiness tn rush work in the spring in order that the shipment of ore may begin as early as possible.
 This is the best news that the peo- pie of WTangell had for a long time. It is the beginning of big things in the much talked of Groundhog basin which is at last coming into its own.

ODDS AND [. NDS OF POL|1 l
 BATTLE

After an analysis of the vote of two years ago the Fairbanks News Miner,
 Democratic newspaper, publishes
 some information for dOpesters that
 is amusing even if it is misleading
 Admitting that Wickersham had
 plurality of 756 votes over Bunner in
 the First division. and at least TOO
 more votes will be cast there this
 year, 1t says that If Wickersham
 should lose 400 of his old support and
 not get any of the new votes cast and
 if Lena Morrow Lewis boiled less
 votes than the Socialist candidate did two years ago. this would leave 1t all to Sulzer, and he would carry the First division by 900. Still Editor Thompson states that in Fairbanks a number Of even bets have been placed that Wickersham will carry the First.
 In the Second, or Nome division, Wickersham had 8 plurality of l26 votes in 1914. The News Miner says if Sulzer gains 20 per cent of the Wickersham vote and 60 per cent of the Socialist vote 1t would give him a plurality of 168.
 Our contemporary fails to cook up any prediction dope whereby Wick. ersham can possibly lose the Third division but by juggling figures re- duces his plurality to 100, and does 1t in this way: Wickersham must lose 20 per cent Of his old vote gain no new support and only get a 50-5O split from the largely increased vote at Anchorage and other coast towns. Can you beat it.?
 In the Fourth division Wickersham is conceded a plurality Of 732, just about half of what 1t was two years ago, and the other votes as we'll as 300 of the 548 Socialist votes are df- vided so that in this way of reckoning Sulzer Is made to appear as having gained considerable strength over Bunnell in the Fourth.
 After taking away from Wickersham more than twenty per cent Of his old support, falling to admit that he has gained any new votes and only giv- Ing him an even break at Anchorage, at the same time cutting the Socialist vote in two and giving it all to the Democratic candidate. the Fairbanks News-Miner says: Thus Sulzer not only has a chance of election, but he has chance that is better than even" Figure ii out for yourself and see if he has.
