WORKING ON PROBLEM
 OF PROVIDING SCHOOL FUNDS
Fairbanks News Miner, Jan. 301


 In Fairbanks the city council, the school board, the leaders of the dry campaign, par cnts, and in lact al! interested iI t4t uiurc, are figuring on ways and mcGas rar nam taining the schools after proh.ttiLn k put into effect, m accordance with the Wicker ah am bill, which is now before congress. The same applies i'll every other incorporated town iii the North. Papers arriving on cycry mail show that the matter iS being given the fullest consideration, but to aate the matter has not been solved.
 That the schools may be maintained, if given sufficient assistance from the terri tory, seems certain but many lmpractlca6!e plans have been put forth.
 Recently, in the Juneau Empire i; was pointed out tha; the AIa-ka fund, 6 per cent of which is now used for road purposes and the balance for schools in the unincor- porated towns ard for the relief of lndl- gents, could be diverted for use of the schools It was also shown thau some Sl65.- GOO of this fund was given to the road commission in one year The writer in the Juneau Empire points cut that slCOO0O of this fund could H2 GivcN to .CAoola within incorporated towns; $90000 for schools not in nc0rn0rated towns, etc. This estimate was made on the rectints of the Alaska fund for the year 1916.
 But this estimator failed to remember that practically all of the so-caled Alaska fund was derived from liquor licenses out- side incorporated towns Cutting out these licenses. the fund would net be sufficient to furnish 25 per cent of the money now used for the schools outside Incorporated towns, 10 say nothing of those within the incorpor ated towns, one councilman of Fairbanks points out.
 Without the liquor revenues it will be necessary for the territory to find ways and means for the maintenance of the schools not only in the incorporated towns but also those outside the incorporated towns The territory has sufficient funds in the treasury and will have sufficient, according to its present revenues, to appropriate money for schools. but 1t cannot be worked out by depending on the federal licenses, which are now turned into the Alaska fund.
 And this brings up another question-that of the indigent fund Heretofore the , per cent of the Alaska fund set aside for the relief of indigentS and under the control of lHe JuUSeS Ol tue StNSIdf NIlFlSlOllS, lldH DSeh scarcely sufficient in the past, and in the future ) per cent of these revenues will be so insignificant that they would scarcely give relief to one old-timer, so that it would be impossible for a judge to look after whole division.
 All legislators of the Fourth division are giving their full attention to the matter and are trying to arrive at suitable solution of the problem. They agree that the Alaska fund suggestion bears little merit

FINE TRAILS WERE RUINED
 BY HOOPS OF REINDEER

Travellers over the trails between this city and the Tolstoi and Ophr recently have been loud in their complaints at the way the trails have been cut up by the hoofs of the reindeer which have been driven over them. Until recently these trails were in excellent condition, and fast time was made by the freighters and mushers. But since the reindeer passed over them travehng has been made much more difficult.

SAVAGE BEASTS OF PREY CREATE HAVOC AMONG
 REINDEER AND CARIBOU

During the present winter, probably be- cause of the almost total disappearance ot small game, such as ptarmigan, grouse, rab- bits, etc, there have been evidences of un. usual ferocity among beasts of prey such as wolves, lynx, etc Lynx, which heretofore have not been plentiful in this part Of Alaska, are numerous and savage. Driven to desperation by hunger they are said to be attacking and devouring caribou and even reindeer. Al Walsh, who arrived in the city on Wednesday evening last from the lnnoko country reports that lynx are fearlessy attacking the reindeer herds under the very eyes of the herders Twitchell and his Lapp partners recently drove their herds into that region, and it is said that since then many of the animals have been killed by lynx The reindeer men are now deVot- are said to have captured several of the animals
 A Race for Life
 J. F. Beattie. the Tolstoi freighter, who returned to this city last Wednesday even ing tells of an interesting race he witnessed Tuesday last on the trail near Jerry Baker 5 roadhouse between Dikeman and Tolstol. The contest ants were three large wolves chas- .ng caribou that had doubtless carelessly wandered away from its herd, and the crafty wolves apparently made it their urgent business to keep it so separated. When MT. Bcattie first espied the contest they were about quarter of mile from the trail, and the course, generally speaking, was diagonaly from it across the tundra lover the moss, the niggerheads, and inland em- plre" as a former Idltarod editor was wont to express it. The freighter stopped his string of dogs to watch the chase. As the caribou, savagely pursued by his re lentess enemies, disappeared beyond swalc of tundra, he gave every evidence of col lapse and after run of only a few rods would be the meat of the hungry wolves.
