crops were followed up by other food
crops, while now in places where the
drouth has damaged the crops other
food crops will replace them.
Mayor Hodges, of this city, says

chelle this season than has ever been
known before and that every availa-
BILE space has been used for truck

liter CLOSE RACE HOLDER
ELECTED SPEAKER HOUSE
Until Names of Over Half Members
Had Been Called the Winner and
Culpepper Ran Neck and Neck.

Atlanta, June 29.-In winning the
race for speaker Of the Georgia house
Of representatives over Nathan F.
Culpepper, of Meriwether by 27 votes.
John F. Holder, of Jackson county,
yesterday morning fulfilled his pre-
diction of Wednesday night that he
would receive more than 100 votes.
However until the names of half the
members had been called, the candi-
dates were running neck and neck.
Each candidate had Al votes when Mr..
Holder took the lead, which he kept
to the finish
Then there followed another dead
lJck over the selection of seats, which
for a time assumed serious proper
lions.
When the house convened at 10
o'clock William H. Burwell, of Sparta,
briefly addressed the members, say
ing that he had been persuaded and
he'd persuaded himself that the mem
b57shii' wanted him to preside this
term, but the majority of the mem
bersnip was of different opinion.
! In retiring from the race, he said, he
did SC without i'll feeling to any man,
with a deep sense Of appreciation to
the trends who had supported him
and, in extending the cordial and
warm hand of friendship to every mem
Der OF the house, he hoped he would
| feel that same warmth of friendship
in a returned grasp. To the house, he
said, he had to offer the very best OF
service he is capable of and readi-
ness to- perform whatever service is
given him.
On the roll call the balloting for
Holder and Culpepper left the results
not only in doubt beyond half way the
list of members, but the two candi-
dates were never up to that time
more than couple or three votes
apart. When the last third of the
list was turned into, however, Holder
began to- pick up rapidly, and the 95th
and deciding vote was cast by DR..
White of Fulton. Despite that fact,
though, CGlpoppec ran his total from
70, when Holder stood 81, to 70 at the
end of the roll call, the last vote cast
being for Culpepper, after Holder had
gone to- 105.

ATLANTA Sees UNRULY
BUNCH IN LEGISLATURE
Four Times RuIss and Prescedent of
House Are Disregarded. Body Sc
vereIy Reproached by Speaker.

Atlanta, June 30.-The house of rep
resentatives did something yesterday
that no other house has done in TWEEN
ty-eight years, to a certainty, and
probably a thing no other house has
ever done.
1t is the time honored custom for
the seats in the house to be selected
by drawing numbers from a hat That
is to say, the members of the house
retire to the halls and corridors The
clerk puts in hat little slips of pa
per on which are written the names
of the counties of the state. A man
blindfolded draws out these slips, the
clerk reads aloud the name of the
county, and door-keepers at the three
doors cali out the name of the waiting
representatives in the hall, VINO come
forward as the names OF their coun-
ties are called and pick their choice
of seats. The first one whose county
is called gets first choice, and the last
one gets the last choice. Such has
been the custom in the past, and such
was the custom attempted to be fol-
lowed yesterday, but something went
wrong.
Instead Of staying outside until the
names of their counties were called,
the representatives waited until four
or five were called, and then they
ran over the door-keepers and swarm
ed into the house and made. a grand
rush for the choice seats. Members
reproached them in scathing terms
for their bad manners and disregard
of the rules of the game" They got
up and struggled out most reluctantly,
and then rushed the door-keepers
again.
Four times hand running they re-
peated the performance, until finally
the new speaker, John NJ Holder, rose
up and said some things to them that
made them feel ashamed for such fla
grant disregard of custom and ETH
quette, and finally on the fifth attempt
some semblance of order was had.
But it took an hour and a half to
seat the members, and the delivery
of Governors Harris farewell mes
sage was delayed until Friday as a
consequence of the delay.
Before the drawing commenced, the
house as usual gave first choice to the
Confederate veteran members, of
whom there are very few.
The 1878 house is going to be
an unruly body, unless all indications
fail. The taking of the four ballots
for speaker on the opening day was
marked by all kinds of disorder. The
tumultuous misbehavior yesterday in
he drawing or seats, which resembled
a school boy performance, was even
worse. Speaker Holder found it ex-
tremsly- difficult to bring the house
to attention. and he is going to have
his hands full until the representa-,
tives work off their surplus pep"

skAGWAY PARENT
 TEACHER ASSOCIATION

The decision Of the city council in Bession Monday night to build a permanent concrete base around the property used in Skagway as a skniiRg rink is 8 direct compliment to the success of the movement started bv the Parent-Teacher As sociaion of last year. The P. T. A. Was effective and instructive in msDY different ways and helped to pass the winter evenings in 8 man her that was instructive and bene- ticial 10 parents, teachers, and pu- pils.
 We are pleased to note the Psrent-TeScher Association is to be recognized again this week.
 The need for these associations oi parents and teachers Is as great ia SkIgway as In the elites and rural communities of the states where they have been found to be ot the utmost benefit. There are mahy factors that So to make up A successful school, and among the most important is the attitude ot the home. As one writer On mod eFa education says; Tt is quite elear that no teacher or teachers cgp alone make a good school. The interests Of the child demand the interest of the home. For, after ali, tbe child finds its most impell- iRg forces in the place and in the persons where it's earliest instincts are firmly embedded. And fathers or mothers word, or evidence of thier approval or disapproyal, can make or mar much that is done in thS school"
 Another writer speaking of the RcCiAl aspects of education says The teacher very much needs the stimulus and the enlightenment that cones from 8 comprehensive knowl- edge of the home life of his pu- pills"
 A democratic community needs to have its imagination quickened as to thV needs of the school. An edu- cated public sentiment Is sup port to & good school board and q check 10 an inefficient one.
 Ire Daily Alaskan strongly urges A lRrEe attendance at the meeting Friday for the reorganization of the Parent-Teacher Association in skAgWay. It will be for the com bJned good of the pupils, the teachers, the public and all the edu- caticHRl work,

iu this same room. On holidays they gather there for the feasts prepared for them by the teacher la charge, or by the missionary.
 There Is also in the school house a room set apart where the yillag- ers may gather at any time of the day or evening to sit around the fire and smoke while they visit. At these informal gatherings every thing Is discussed, from the teacher, whose popularity depends to an ap- prec.able extent upon the number of presents he hands out, to hunt ing, the weather, the white mans ships, etc.
 Is there illness in any igloo, the medicine chest in the big house" is the first thing thought Of, and to the "big house" the Eskimos come for aid, be it night or day.
 If a dog-team is sighted coming towards the village, messengers" hurry to the "big house" to inform tho teacher of the coming of Strangers" so that he may be prepared to receive them.
 Aud so it goes. The center of all activity and thought and life in the village is the red-roofed school house, and the white man in charge. Besides a fairly we'll equipped school room there is a large storeroom in the building wherc are provisions of all kinds, and living quarters for the teacher and his family.

PIGS, VICE WIDE OPEN AT
 TEBAKEE

A woman is in Juneau bent on the extermination of gambling, blind-pigs, and prostitution at Tenakee. Failing to secure satis- faction from federal officials in Ju- ueau responsible for the administra- tlcn of law and order through the residen: '. S. Commissioner and deputy U. s. Marshal at Teuakee, sn appeal Is to be made to the Woman's Club and other organiza- tfous of Juneau to petition the For estry department to remove the U. S. Commissioner and Marshal at Tenakee and appoint an agent to clean up the town.
 The woman is Mrs. Ella M. Hart, Mrs. Hart has, so she informed the Dispatch last night, suffered as 2 result of the conditions existing at Tenakee, and is in Juneau seek ing assistance ir the clean up campaign.
 Blind pigs, gambling and pros titution are so openly carried on at Tenakee as to become a stench be fore the respectabl people of that community" said Mrs. Hart last night. With little children in the community and hundreds of visitors there for the benefits Of the min eral springs, it is a disgrace that federal officials allow present con ditions to exist"
 Tenakee is 8 small town located on Tenakee inlet, and is becoming a center of Icy Straits fishing ac- tivity. Several years ago a saloon license was granted at that place. Later this license was revoked and iR late years several efforts nave been made to stamp out diSorderly conduct there. Tenakee property Is leased from the Forestry depart ment and all civic improvements are authorized through forestry of- ficials. If Mrs. Hart is successful in her efforts for better moral con ditions application will be made through the Juneau Woman's club for the department of justice to remove the present petty officials, and an agent sent from the for eStry department.
 "Individuals at Tenakee are rent ing forestry ground from the for estry agents, and re-renting the property for houses of prostitution, IS one Of the charges made by Mrs. Hart. "Gambling and bootleg ging are openly carried On," is an other charge. o..
