SCHOOL EXPENSES
Be REFUNDED
SEVENTY.FTVE PER CENT
BORNE BY TERRITORY
An Act Passed by the Last TerritO-
rial Legislature Will be Of Great
Benefit to Incorporated Towns in
Alaska.

House Bill No. 4, passed by the
recent Territorial Legislature, pro-
viding for the maintenance of public
schools and high schools in the Ter
ritory of Alaska is as follows:
Section 4. That seventy-five per
cent of the total amount expended for
the maintenance of public schools,
including high schools. within the
limits of any incorporated town, city
or incorporated school district. now
existing or hereafter established, in
each school year shall be refunded
to the school fund OF said fnc0rp0rat-
ed town or incorporated school dis
trict from the monies of the Terri
tory of Alaska, as hereinafter set
forth. Provided. that no expense in
Cured for the construction of new
building, purchasing building sites,
or other real estate, shall be consid-
cred expense of maintenance within
the meaning of this act and not more
than ten per cent of the total amount
of the expense OF maintenance shall
consist of expenses incurred for re-
pairs. alterations. or other improve
ments on buildings or other real es-
tate. Provided. further. that no in
corporated town. city or incorporated
school district shall receive more
than $4,000 from the Territory OF
Alaska under the provisions Of this
act, during any one school year of
nine months.
Section 2. Nothing in this act
shall be construed to prevent an in
corporated town. city or incorporated
school district from expending an
amount in excess of ten per cent Of
the expense of maintenance within
the meaning of this act for repairs.
alterations or other improvements Of
buildings or other real estate. How
ever, such additional expenses shall
not be considered within the provi-
sions of this act"
The City of Valdez now appropri-
ates about $1,000 for maintaining
the schools. Should the city now ap-
propriate $4,000. which it legally
has right to do. the sum of $500
would be repaid by the Territory and
the city would in reality be out but
$2,500, thus effecting a saving over
previous years of s4.5OO. By spending
$4,000 per year for twenty years on
good high school building the city
would still be $2.5OO per year ahead
over present conditions.
In other words for every dollar
spent in Valdez from now on for
school purposes. rs cents is return
ed by the Territory This will enable
the city to still pay off its indebted
ness at the present rate and have
$2,5OO saved over present expenses
each year. providing the city expends
$4,000 per year on it's schools.

BLONDE .ESK|M0S
ARE ARRESTED
NORTHWEST MOUNTED ON
WAY TO EDMONTON
Members of Tribe Who Are Accused
OF Numbering Catholic Missionaries
in the Great Bearsee Country
Taken Into Custody.
Rfonde EskimOS.

bIOuuC CShiMOo.
Inspector D. La Noize, r. N. W..
M. p, Is on his way down the Mac
Kenzie with the two blonde Eskimos
who are said to have murdered the
two Catholic missionaries in the
Great Bear lake country nearly three
years ago.
The men will be tried for murder
at Edmonton on or about August IL.
The party was due to arrive at the
chutes of the Mackenzie on August 2
and will make the last leg Of their
long trip in quick time.
The story of this man-hunt is an
other illustration of the oft-proven
perseverance of the mounted police
force. About three years ago the
Catholic authorities reported that two
missionaries in the north country
were missing. Tentative inquiries led
to the belief that they had been mur-
dered. A year ago last May Inspector
Denny La NoiZe was sent from Ed
monton to locate the murderers If
there were any. He was given the
powers of justice to assist him. Last
winter he spent at Great Bear lake
getting his outfit ready, and when
spring broke he went back toward the
mouth of the Coppermine in company
with Corporal Wright, R. N. w. M. P.
and an Eskimo interpreter.
The officers were especially fortu-
nate because from the first band of
Eskimos they encountered they learn
ed where the alleged murderers were.
Passing on they met DR.. Anderson,
who is in charge of the southern part
of the Steffanson party, and with him
found Corporal Bruce. of the mount
ed police post at Herschel Island.
Bruce had been sent in to assist La
Noize and had gained most of the in
formation necessary to get the MUIR
derers.
lOSCluc. IHC patty, WIN ehS IN
ception of DR.. Anderson, pressed on
clear into the country at the mouth
of the Coppermine where they took
their prisoners.
Inspector La Noize then took the
two prisoners on boat to the scene
of the murder. This was, strange
enough, at Bloody Falls, the spot
where Samuel Hearn's Crees massa-
cred the party of Eskimos when
Hearn was exploring the northland in
the latter part of the 18th century.
They found the remains of the priests
almost destroyed by the weather and
animals.
The murder was committed accord
ing to the Eskimo, because on the
the priests had promised one of the
Eskimos a rifle and had not carried
out his promise. Both the victims
had ,been shot, and the police think
they were really killed in order that
their rifles could be taken.
The Eskimos were given their pre-
liminary hearing before Inspector La
Noize at once, and were committed
fuv trial at Edmonton.
While in the Eskimo country, In
spector La Noize received word of
the whereabouts of two men who
murdered the explorers Radford and
Street on Chesterfield Inlet. He saw
the men who.did the deed and after
hearing their story decided that they
had acted in self-defense and that it
was not necessary to bring them out
for trial. Radford started the trou-
BILE by lashing his Eskimo driver with
a dog whip.-WhitehOrse Star.
