LEGISIATCRE WILL
 PROVIDE FOR SCHOOLS

Representative C. K. Snow, of Ruby. who arrived in town yesterday and who is on his way to Juneau
 to attend the coming meeting of the territorial legislature, is of the opin- ion that there will be no trouble in getting the legislators to make pro- per provisions for the needs of tho schools of the towns and camps throughout the entire Territory. l. fact, at the last session it was the consensus of opinion that it was the duty of the legislature to do this. He stated in part: "At the las, session of the territorial legislature bill was passed providing for a un''
 form school system in the territory After the passage of the measure the attorney general of the United States in a letter to Governor Strong, stated that in his opinion the act was ill., valid, as the territorial legislature, under the organic act, had no right to administer to the school system. Ma attempt was therefore made to put the provision of the measure into effect. However, there is a measure now pending in the national congress
 which, if passed, will give the terri torial legislature authority to regulate and make appropriations for all the schools of the territory. The first duty of the coming legislature is tl
 look after this, and l will do every
 thing in my power to carry this fol
 ward"
 MT. Snow is we'll known throughout
 the territory as the father of the dry
 referendum which swept the cOuntr.. so overwhelmingly last fall. He ex- presses himself as well pleased with
 the vote on this question, especial!
 that of the Fourth division. He is es-
 pecially we'll informed on school mat ters, as he has made study of them
 during the last year.
 In regard to matters of general leg
 islation h chad very little to say
 beyond that he had two or three mat
 ters in view which he will present t1
 the legislature during the coming ses
 sion. He states that he hopes the
 legislators will forget party lines ard
 work together harmoniously for the
 good of the territory, without regaro
 to political alignment. - Cordovs
