The main line be. tween Anchorage and Kings river is siXty-five miles and the train oi four cars makes the rblnd trip ev. cry two days. The engineers ex. pected to get the line into the Chickaloon coal fields some time this spring. Jenkins was with Mears when the latter was estab fishing a government railroad be tween Cuba and Panama and work. ed on the road as conductor for more than eight years.
 There has been scarcity of labo! on the line and the government is paying about 45 cents an hour for common labor" said Jenkins Men on the works have holdings all along the line and as soon as the road is finished expect to work them. We are not bother much with snow during the winter, but last year we ran out of coal, so we opened ur Q mine at Moose Creek that sup. plies the railroad and Anchorage. It is about 300 feet off the line and we have a spur that runs righ. up to it, so we just have to shove it on the cars.

ALASKA SCHOOLS

Seattle POstIntelliGencer)
 Alaska has problem of some difficulty in pro- vding for the maintenance of its schools The adOp- tiou Of prohibition law Is to cut off the saloon li- cense money formerly devoted to school maintenance and new source of revenue must be provided.
 The Territory has been very liberal in dealing with educational matters and has built up an effic- lent school system. Juneau has S67 pupils and thir- the average annual cost. per pupil, is $5419. Fair banks has l92 students and nine teachers, with an annual average cost per student of $1l725 the age teachers salary is $1,6923O Alaska's schools last year cost $S950994, the total enrolment was 1901 and the average cost per pupil, $5962.
 Nome will perhaps lose $lOOO0 annually in saloon licenses; Juneau stands to lose $2OOOO; Fairbanks collects $10000; Seward has license revenues amount. ing Co S7,0OO perhaps a total of $1OO,OO0 year is collected in all other for saloon licenses. Loss of these amounts is likely to result in less lberalty in school maintenance
 Alaska is to ask Congress for aid in maintaining the standard of its schools and t should be given In few years the Territory will be in position to supply it's own needs without hardship Just the burden would be very great.

 Everybody knows what mason is, but not ev- erybOdy knows what a billymason is However, the Hon. William E. Mason Congressman.eect from Hi nOs, showed exactly what the species is in a speech on the state of the nation and present critical relations delivered Thursday night.

 As a general thing, when a girl has pretty feet she wants to fall in love heels over head.
 Our observation is that when a woman wears stays only on Sunday they make her feel like straighten- cd circumstances.
 Another thing-how would it do to appoint a Committee of Taxpay- CTS to investigate the high cost of Congress?
 Whiskcy, of course. can make fool; but as a general thing it takes a greasy cook to make a grouch. The reason a woman is a woman is because even when she is riotlng in the breadline she will stop long enough to smile into the camera. And it is equally to be doubted if any girl ought to wear earrings large enough to make her look like her head had been tagged.
