HER WORK ON
 ARCTIC TRAILS
Elder Ella Irene Mallory's Life Con- secrated to Uphft of
 Humanity

Undaunted by the rigor of Arctic trails and unsweryed from her noble aims in the interest of common hu- manity. Mrs. Ella Irene Mallory has spent much Of the past twelve years in the broad. white North and con- fldently expects to spend the remain der Of her life fin the land she has come to love as her own. Mrs Mall lory is now in Douglas and will be here until after the issue of her quarterly paper, The Gem, which will appear in March.
 Modest and motherly in appear ance, Mrs. Mallory is possessed of untiring energy in her work. that ot uplifting the fallen and encouraging the weak and weary. Some years ago she filed on homestead at Rich- ardson, 70 miles up the Tanana river above Fairbanks and her chief aim in life is to establish a home there for unfortunate women who desire to forsake evil ways and bet ter their conditions. Unaided and alone she has done considerable im- provement work on her homestead. erecting buildings and clearing land. At the same time she has kept up her little publication. the sale of which has been her only source of revenue.
 Two different times Mrs Mallory has "mushed" over the trail and drawn her meagre outfit on a sled between the coast and the interior. On the last trip she had the mis- fortune to have her feet seriously frost-bitten but even that did not in any way deter her in the pursuit of her uplift work. When wholly down and out financially, she seeks work in a roadhouse or with some family for a short time. but is al- ways doing mission work no matter where she may be.
 At present Mrs. Mallory is taking the names of all the miners of this locality, which list will be compiled and later used as a means of iden- tity in case of inquiry concerning any of them. While in this part of the country she will visit all the mines. She expects to leave for the interior in the early summer.

CITY OF VALDEZ
 SCOURGED BY FIRE
Four Different Fires Start Simultan- eOusly at 4 O'Clock Tuesday
 Morning

Cable communication from Valdez Tuesday told of a S3OO,OOO fire which occurred in that city that morning, starting at o'clock and burning for three hours before the spread of the conflagration could be checked.
 As four different fires started in various parts of the business section of the city at practically the same time. there is little doubt but that they were an Of incendiary origin. The cable said one suspicious char actcr had been arrested and other arrests would probably follow. There was a strong wind blowing at the time and only by the most heroic efforts was even a portion Of the town saved. Tho following proper ties were wholly destroyed. many Of them not carrying any insurance;
 Golden North Hotel.
 The Arcade Cafe.
 s. Blum and Company.
 Haincs Sheet Metal Works.
 Ellis Block.
 Alameda House.
 Arizona Hotel
 United States Postoffice
 Max scmidt Grocery.
 Louie's Cafe.
 Plnzon Bar and Cigar Store.
 Empress Theatre.
 Three residences.
 or the above it is likely that s. Blum & Company lost most heavily as the firm was among the heaviest mercantile and banking concerns In Alaska. Blum was in Seattle and, on being notified of his company's big loss. at once ordered a duplicate stock of goods. much of which was on the Mariposa when she sailed from Seattle for Valdez Tuesday night. As but few homes were de- stroyed. there will not probably be any resultant suffering unless it is from shortage of provisions. and that can be rcmedied In a few days.

NEW YEAR OPENS
 ENCOURAGINGLY
Stability Which Characterized Past Year Bids Fair to Mark Its
 Successor

That Che year just starting and less than one week old will be Q most successful and prosperous one there Is every indication. This ap- niles to Che entire United States iu general. Alaska In particular and especially and most decidedly Co thc portion Of Alaska embraced In Che Gastineau Channel district In which prosperity means Che same thing Go the whole locality for Che reason that Che interests Of one town are those of the others
 In Che early portion ot che present year operations win be nauguratcd at Che new plant ot the Alaska Ju- neau mine which. while located practically within Che limits ot che city ot Juneau. nevertheless. num- bers among its long list ot employees many who make their homes on the Island. among that number being Mir. P. R. Bradley. the general man ager of Che big concern. The start- ing ot the new plant will be a boon Co the entire Channel district and at the same time win add greatly Co Che wealth ot Che world through its large gold output
 There ls no doubt but that the present year win witness Che start Ing ot work on the Gastiueau bridge which win connect Douglas Island with Che mainland and which win provide an outlet for ulrcady-crowd- ed Juneau by enabling hundreds ot families Co secure home siites for themselves on this side ot Che Chan mel. now inaccessible except by boat The promised bridge will add great Iy Co the value ot property on Che Island side as we'll as Co the popula- ton already here.
 Labor conditions n Che entire community are good except for its scarcity and the latter condition is. lu a sense. an asset for Che reason that where labor Is scarce. what there is Is invariably prosperous. But la- bor conditions win improve from now on for Che reason that many who Ieft during Che past few months in Che hope Of bettering themselves have discovered that the latter ob- je-t has not been attained and many ot them win return In fact. many gre already returning and others are Coming back.
 On thc whole. the year 1917 has started most auspIciously for this part oi Che uorthland. That it will "schlump" on us. there Is no reason Co believe. but that it win grow even brighter as it advances there is ey- cry indication. It found us happy and prosperous and win keep and leave us Che same.

NEITHER FISH
 NEITHER FOWL
Four Half Breed Children Refused Admission to Both White and
 Indian Schools

While schools are provided here for both white and Indian children. a peculiar condition of affairs arose this week when four half breed children were refused admission both at Che Indian and white public schools
 The teacher Of Che Indian school declined Co take them for two req sons. first. the children are what might be termed civilized and the teacher thought it would be an in- justice Co the children to take them in with full-blooded Indian pupils, and. second. that school is already mu Co its capacity.
 The children then appeared at Che white school and were denied admission on the grounds that they are Indians and that few parents de- sire Co have their children associate with either full or half Indian chil- drcn. 10 appears that while the chil- dren in question are both white and Indian. they are neither SO far as the schools are concerned. The fo- thcr Of the children. they are an Of one family. Is a white man. while thc mother Is full-blood Indian. The family lives In the Beach neigh borhood but their home fronts on a white settlement and, it is claimed for the children that they do not associate with the Indians.
 While no right-minded person would desire Co see these half breed children deprived of Che privileges of schools and Of education. the qucs- tiou Of properly classifying them is a somewhat intricate one. IT they actually have been reared Co associ- ate with white children. it is un- just that they should be sent to an Indian school. On Che other hand, it they have not associated with white children. it would be unjust Co the latter Co have Co associate with them, and thus far. in this country. at least. no provision has been made for ex- elusive half breed schools
 In the meantime, the children are not i'm school and those who have any knowledge ot Indians need not be told of what hapens to half breed children. especially girls who run Che streets. The question ot where these children belong should be set tied and their position defined and they should be placed where they do belong.
 But where is that?

MANY NATIVES
 HEAP DRUNK squaw Dies as Result of Over In- dulgence-City Jail Filled
 to Capacity

To Indians Tennyson's Ring out the the old, Ring in the new" may not have much significance, but to escort the old out and the new in with drinking and boisterous con duct appears to appeal to them in no uncertaiin manner.
 Last Saturday afternoon squaw with the perfectly good name of Del Ia Brown died in a cabin on the Beach after several hours of heavy drinking and Jan Coperas, a Greek, who supplied her with the liquor, is now in jail at Juneau where he will have ample time to reflect on the evil Of his ways, United States Com missioner Henson having held him over in the sum of 5000 bail.
 Saturday night Eva Williams, an- other native woman, was found glo- rlously jagged and she finished the old year and started the new in Jail.
 New Years night, the death Of Della and the misfortune Of Eva were forgotten by a party Of five men and two women. all natives and residents of the Beach, and a hiyu drunk was indulged in, the juice being supplied by a scion of the storm cloud, Peter Jackson, by name. In the bunch were Bob and Jake Lewis who pro- tested that not in all the court re- cords of Alaska could it be found that they had ever before graced the interior of skookum house. Joe Collier, who could pass as a Mexican any place, was another of the party. Joe had two bottles Of beer in his raiment when arrested, he having taken advantage Of his Castilian fea- lures Co purchase the stuff from one of the local saloons Peter and Joe were fined S1O each and the others 80 each by Magistrate Erie.
 With accommodations for three, the capacity of the city jail was somewhat taxed when nine prison CTS were in at the same time Tuesday morning.

SOME SOCIAL OUTCAsT

The little one act drama given at the Lyric Wednesday and last night in connection with the regular pie ture shows, was a great hit and was much appreciated by the large crowds which witnessed both produc- tions. The acting was all good but that of the Social Outcast," which role was played by Pat" Mcclure, was exceptionally well impersonated. The same company will put on a play for the benefit of the fire de- partment some time next month.

 Since leaving here three months ago Mir Jensen has travelled over much Of the United States, SO it is uncertain where he was married, if he has really forsakcn the ranks Of bachclordom. When last heard from he was baskIug In Che orange-loden zophyrs of southern California.
 William Suubbins. who made mud pies on thc Douglas beach with Mir. Jensen 3S years ago and when both were callow youths that is, fairly callow-says the report that the lat ter is married Is doubtless true as. Co bis knowledge. Mir. Jensen has been contemplating motrimony for, To. these many years.
 Certain it is that if Mir. Jensen arrives accompanied by a partner ship trunk. "TcN" will enjoy a boom at his cigar factory for a few days.

For the hrst time in the history OF
the American League and probably in

baseman; Ty Cobb. center fielder, and
Bob Veach. left fielder. pounded all
four Washington pitchers who hurled
against them for five hits each and
compiled total of fifteen hits bez
tween them. All the hits made By
Witt and Veach were singles. but Cobb
treated himself TO a double and triple.

gets five hits in a game. but when
