the opportunity to decide as to whether or not We are to
 have school, and it is to be
 hoped that by that time every
 resident will have given the question very careful study and
 be prepared to vote intelligent ly.
 The plan of those who have interested themselves in the
 matter is to incorporate a dis
 trict embracing all the desir- able land contiguous to Nena- ma, with a total area not ex-
 ceeding forty square miles A
 part of this proposed district outside of Nenana already has
 been occupied by hOmesteaders
 and, as the valley develops, will form steadily increasing source of income to the district
 and permit a approximately wider distribution of mainten- ance charges, so that the town,
 in later years, will be called
 upon to bear only a part of
 the burden of the upkeep de- manded by the Territory.
 A petition, requesting the court to call a special election,
 has been circulated and will
 be forwarded to Judge Bun
 nell immediately. When the order calling an election is is-
 sued, notices announcing the
 fact must be posted for per- iOd of thirty days, after which providing a majority of the Icitizen-residentS favor the es- tablishment of a school, the work of organizing the district can proceed without further delay. In the meantime it is probable that an allotment of town lot money can be secured from the Chairman of the Alas
 kan Engineering commission sufficient to construct a school
 house. In this event, the build ing will be ready by the time
 the organization of the district
 has been perfected and other arrangements completed.
 Under one of the laws en- acted by the late legislature, the burden of maintaining such a school as it is proposed to
 establish here will be borne by
 the Territory to the extent of 75 per cent of the cost of main
 tenance, providing that the amount does not exceed the sum of $15,OOO annually. The
 amount required of the district
 may be raised by levying taxes
 not to exceed one per centum. Another law enacted during
 the late session provides a uni
 form school system in the Ter
 ritOry and creates a territorial
 board of education and a com
 missioner of education who
 shall have supervision of all
 matters pertaining to the pub
 lie schools.

..FLAREBACK" CAUSES
Anxiety FOR fruit
Milford Growers Fearful for
Peaches, PlumS and
Cherries
GOVERNOR TOWNSEND
SAYS HARM LILELY

According to reports from some sec
tions down the State the sudden cold
spell and freeze Of last night has done
much damage to peach, plum and
cherry trees.
More anxiety is felt in Sussex coun-
ty than through Kent county for the
fruit, for the buds are far more ad-
vanced in the southern county than
through central and upper Delaware.
Governor Townsend, himself an ex-
pert orchardist, in Dover today, said
he had received no definite reports as
to the effect of the cold and the freeze
on the fruit, but he believed much in'
jury had been done in some sections
of Kent and Sussex counties. partic
ularly where the buds were far ad-
vanced. Governor Townsend said the
buds were far more advanced on the
trees in some parts Of the State thar
in others.
He had observed, he said. that buds
on Sussex trees were maturing more
rapidly than those in Kent county
Governor Townsend said the brlsl
wind Of yesterday and early last nigh
blew moisture from trees in parts o
lower Delaware and reduced the pos
sibility of injury from the weathe
bareback.

Growers ABOUT MILFORD
FEAR HURT TO fruit

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
MILFORD, Del. April 1O.-Reports
from the fruit-growing districts are
to the effect that the peach. plum and
cherry growers are much concerned
for fear that those crops will be
badly injured by the unreasonable
weather On Sunday the plum and
cherry trees were in full blossom,
while the late varieties of peaches had
also shown evidences OF blossOming.
The dampness settles in the buds Of
the blossoms, and should it freeze un-
told damage would result. During
yesterday and last night there was a
high wind, which blew much Of the
moisture from the trees, reducing the
danger from a freeze, although much
damage is feared in some sections to
fruit
Those who grow pears and apples
are unconcerned about their fruits for
they are not far enough advanced 10
cause any material damage to the
crops Strawberry growers, together
with blackberry and raspberry farm
ers, also report that they expect nc
harm to their crops as a result Of the
winter back Factory peas are
now about halr an inch in height, bu
they can stand a heavy freeze withou
any damage.

DOVER Growers SAY
Trees ESCAPED INJURY

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, April 1O.--With ice
and snow and the low temperature OF
Sunday night and last night, central
Delaware has had a narrow escape
from the loss Of its fruit crop as we'll
as early vegetables. Several promi-
nent fruit growers OF Kent county in
terviewed this morning, however,
claim that after a careful examina-
ton of their fruit trees they see no
damage done. At the Cooper and
Terry farm, some peach buds which
had broken through show no bad ef-
fects from last nights freeze.
Those who gave expressions to the
belief that the fruit was still in good
shape include c. L. Terry, with farms
both in Kent county and Sussex
county II. NJ. Richardson, near Ris-
/ ing Sun; F. NJ. Soper & Son, near Mag.
nolia, and Thomas Cook on the Henry
Ridgely farm, just over the railroad al
Dover. All of these men claim thai
after examination OF several trees II
different parts of the orchards, they
find the fruit is still alive. but admit
they have had a very narrow escape.

TO issue PERMITS FOR
ENEMY Aliens GUIDANCE

When seen today, and told there
was much uncertainty In the COM
munAty, concerning the prohibition
in the Presidents proclamation OF
enemy aliens being found or ap-
preaching within a half mile of any
fort or arsenal, or factory or work
shop where munitions are manufac-
tured, or other supplies for the use
of the army or navy, District At
torney Charles +. Curley said that
the Inconvenience will probably he
done away with by permits issued by
| the United States marshal permitting
| aliens 10 use much travelled streets
and roads, even though the latter be
within one-half mile of any such fac'
tory.
The issuance OF any such permit
Will be in the exercise OF the sound
Judgment OF the marshal, after con-
sultation with the United States at
| torney.
In Mr.. Curley's view. II is the duty
of the management OF all factories en-
gagged In making munitions or other
supplies for the use OF the army or
navy TO Immediately dismiss from
their employ all enemy aliens, II any
such are employed. Mr.. Curley fur-
Their stated that both the marsha's Of
fee and his Office would endeavor to
see that the directions OF the Presi-
dents order were strictly enforced and
that offenders were sternly dealt with.
Every enemy alien has had full op-
portunity to read the proclamation IN
the newspapers and to know just what
limitations are placed on his actions
BY enemy aliens is meant any un-nat-
uralized German.

GEORGETOWN Sees NO
DAMAGE TO The BUDS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
GEORGETOWN, Del, april lO.-An
examination of several fru G. trees re-
veals the fact that the buds have not
developed sufficiently to have been af-
fected by the storm and cold spell. The
sudden change in the weather will have
a tendency to retard the development
of the buds for several days and this
condition is highly pleasing to many
fruit growers, for there is less danger
of the fruit being killed later on by
frosts which usually visit this section
during Nav at a time when the tree:
are in full bloom. Fruit growers are
hoping that spring will not fully oper
until all chances of damage to fruit il
past.
