The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-02-23

A. A. Allan told the Workers Unalakleet correspondent in an in terview sent in, that he made no promises but now that the people have honored me by electing me as one of their representatives it is but right that l let them know how intend to serve them.''
 First as the future of Alaska de- bends primarily upon the intellec- tual and physical abilities of her ci- tizens and as the native born white Alaskan will soon be taking an ac- tive part in her development. good schools properly equipped from secular and industrial standpoint should be our first consideration. Alaska go- ing dry makes the question of funds a serious one, and in my opinion the school funds should come first and in full from the territorial funds.
 Families will not make theic home in Alaska unless the educa- tional facilities are equal to the Outside. It would be necessary for the high grade schools to centralize. in Nome, Fairbanks, etc., and those educated outside the centers could if they needed a better education go to these centers of educational activity.
 The development of Alaska is na- turally on account of climatic con ditions slow and will depend in the future as now upon the transporta ton facilities At present we arc depending altogether upon our water ways for the bulk of our ne- cessities, but our waterways are not cnn, Il, and while waiting tor rail roads to connect our centerS, I strongly recommend system of roadways, not goat paths, directly connecting centers and with smaller roadways acting as feeders and con meeting smaller communities. A system such as I advocate would give the prospector a chance to de- velop present prospects and open up new fields for the miner, and would through the increased area devel- oped and opened up repay hund- redfold the money expended. The road commission is doing all it can with the pittance the government accords it and my advocacy of bet ter roads is not to be construed as a criticism of the Road Commis' sion.
 I also advocate a system of sta tions under the road commission where there are no roadhouses, these stations to be given to pioneers at a nominal salary and under ap- proved terms, the present road houses in out of the way places to also come under such an act.
 Believing that the future of any country depends upon a well paid and contented laboring class, en- toying the immunities and privi- leges that are the basis of our con stitution and recognizing the fact that laboring class working longer than normal hours is mentally and physically inert and unable to de- velop through study it's higher attri- butes, I strongly advocate shorter hours and the best of living and working conditions. I also believe that labor and business should be in accord for the best interests of the community.

 A Nome merchant received a wire from the outside yesterday stating that it was impossible to think of buying anything just now until spring owing to the inflated condi- tion of all food products. Next May when the early southern stocks begin to move these will be cer- tainly reduced, but for the present the prices are outrageous.
 Natives report that seals arc now getting very plentiful. Dr. Neuman says that an interesting fact in con- nection with the seal that are now being captured is that many of them are a small hair seal whose favorite and general habitat is in the Arctic and has never before been observed further south than Cape Prince of Wales. Whalers and other Arctic explorers report such seal as being found plenNfully enough in the farthest north. Never before have they been captured in any such quantity south of Boring Straits. Patronize the Nome Tailoring Go. ! Why? Because they do the best work, and are the only pioneer tailors in Nome.

Where We Got "khaki.'

What is the origin Of khaki To
whom are we indebted for it?
It was first adopted in British India,
in ls4s, by Sir Harry Burnett Lumsden,
who had been asked to equip a corps
of guides sos collect intelligence and to
conduct an eastern force on the north
western frontier of India The cloth
used was light cotton drill. as suited
the climate OF Hindoostan. and took
its name from native term. Khaki
which means in the Urdu language.
dusty" being derived from KHAKI" or
dust, says Popular Science Monthly.
Thus the term applied to the color OF
the cloth rather tISan to the material.
