LEGISLATORS ASK FOR SUGGESTIONS
 OF SCHOOL BOARDS

A meeting of the school board was held last night to consider the bills which have been introduced in the present legislature in regard to ter ritoi ial school mattcr%. t Is the de- sire of the legislators to have the opinion of the various school boards throughout Alaska, and to receive suggestions and criticisms of the bills to be voted on this month.
 The matter of financing schools is the biggest problem confronting the people at present, and with decreased revenue and increased expense, bill to make provisions in this regard is necessary. There are several bills under consideration which differ only in the amount of school upkeep that should be provided by the territory. Some think that forty per cent of the school expense is all that should be expected from the territory, while others maintain that seventy-fve per cent would not be too much. The plan is for the school boards to pre- sent certified vouchers annually to the territory, and the percentage decided upon will be refunded to the school districts.
 Another bill which is being consid- cred by the legislature is for the ap- pointment of territorial board of education of five members, the gov ernor being ex-officio chairman. The school affairs of the whole territory would be under the direction of this board. A superintendent of education would be appointed to supervise all schools and to establish a uniform system, so that students upon gradua- ton will be accredited to high schools and universities in the states. This bill is similar to the one which was passed two years ago in which the of flee of school superintendent was created, person was appointed to oc- cupy the position, but no salary was provided. On this account interest in the bill waned and was soon for gotten.

VETS WILL TAKE
 IN NEW MEMBERS

The Spanish-American war vet erans will meet this evening and muster in several new members. Business in connection with the local military unit will be taken up for consideration, as well as other mat ters along lines that will be of as- sistance to the Public Safety and De- fense committee. It is worthy of notice that the local camp has in- creased it's membership since the war has been declared. Which goes to show that the boys who fought in '98 have not lost any of their patriotism since that time, and are willing to do the same again if necessary.

WAITING FOR THAW
 TO BEGIN ACTIVE
 R. R. CONSTRUCTION

Although spring is here to all ap- pearances, the remnants of winter are still in the ground, causing the delay of considerable construction work along the railroad.
 The steam shovels can only handl, rock work on account of the frost ir the ground, which makes dirt handling slow and expensive.
 There is also considerable snow in the hills which makes for further dc. lay, although the flats are practically free from this hindrance.
 If the ground continues to thaw a the present rate, it is thought tha' activity in railroad construction vii be greatly increased in about ten days

APPROPR PRIAT|ON FOR R. R. IS STILL HELD IN SENATE

The current rumor on the streets, which has caused doubt in the minds of many as to the status of the rail road appropriation, may be dismissed with less than the usual credence given to avenue gossip"
 The appropriation has not been passed by congress, as yet, but this need give no cause for worry because it probably will be before long. The last heard of the bill was that it was amended by the senate and referred back to the committee.
