NOT AGAINST ADMINISTRATION
Seward GatewayD


 One of the most surprising facts connected with the Territorial election that Anchorage could have supported the Hughes side Of all the places in Alaska Anchorage has most to be friendly to the pres ent administration Certainly Anchorage must have thought more of party affiliations than of local wei fare or could never have taken the antiadmnisra. tion side. What will Wilson and Lane say when they hear of the results in the railroads in Alaska? Maybe they will compliment them being more loyal party than personal interests, and maybe they will not. But the administration should remember that the newspaper talk did not mean that the bulk of the people thought along the lines. If it had been vote direct for against Wilson this part of Alaska would undoubtedly have been WilsOnan although some Of the papers boosted Hughes It should also be remembered that it the personal feeling for WckerSham that counted not his Republcanism. The fact that the only Anchorage daily paper was for Hughes against Wilson should not be taken to mean that the people against the administration hE any means.

INDIANS AND CITIZENSHIP
Douglas Island News.l

On general principles We have never advocated or favored citizenship for Indians but forced to admit that the few who have been so recognized lately by the Territorial Court both worthy and deserving of the privilege and honor of becoming ct zens of this great country and of having voice in the management of it's affairs. While it is prob able that many Indians will be able to pass the Quired examination for some time to come the fact that they in line for doing will be great incentive Co right living and the requirement of know ledge It will be a sort of bonus premium, to attain which enterprising and industrious young tyes may well aspire, and if they knock the persimmon, they will be all the better for having tried.

ABOUT THAT LIBRARY GIFT.

| have read with much interest the
various letters and editorials relative
to the matter AS different citizens
have expressed themselves through
The True Northerner and felt that it
was practically accepted as very
valuable contribution to the education
al resources of the community, and
that our citizens would gladly prepare
a place that would be fire proof, con-
venient for the majority, and last but
not least, commemorate the life and
worth of the Rev. f. H. Harvey and
his helpful wife. 1t is certainly a
rare and valuable collection which few
persons in this vicinity could possess.
We spend money for many things
that have no lasting worth,-can it be
we will let this pass us by.
Our schools send out into the world
several hundred young people just
partially equipped to take places of
distinction and be competent factors
in the worlds progress and they
surely need this collection of books
put into a permanent place and in
creased with the latest works of the
years as they come along. Let US
not miss this great opportunity-let
us come together, organize library
association, if necessary and have this
:. "a
be inspired to contribute as they feel
they have finished their work here,
and as we use these books we shall
often realize the truth found in the
words "He being dead yet speaketh." "
Such gifts to people are fitting
monuments to the memory of the
noble, the good and the true.

ANOTHER PAW PAW BOY Is
FAST MAKING HIS MARK.

We are always pleased to chronicle
the successful accomplishments of
Paw Paw people and t is noticeable
fact that an unusual number who
have received their early training
here have made good to a degree
which is remarkable, when we realize
that Paw Paw is but a town of less
than two thousand people. The latest
instance that is brought to our mind
is that Of Herbert Smith, whom many
will remember as having been con-
nected with The True Northerner
few years ago Soon after leaving
Paw Paw he purchased the paper at
Climax, Kalamazoo county, and be-
sides making a success in the news
paper business has obtained recog-
milton as a citizen of the community.
He is entering upon his third term as
the treasurer Of that thriving village,
and is closely identified with its in
dustrial welfare. We are especially
pleased to be able to record the fore
going, as we consider Herbert in a
measure q product of The True North
erner and it is therefore satisfaction
to know that he is succeeding so well.

SUPT. v. r. HUNGERFORD RE-
SIGNS TO ACCEPT LUCRATIVE
POSITION WITH THE w. NJ.
WEIGH MANUFACTURING co.
SUCCEEDED BY 0RREN ". KAYE
Principal Under Supt. HungerfOrd
Promoted to Fill Vacancy. New
Teacher in Mathematics Employed.

Superintendent Volney r. Hunger
ford, who has been at the head of the
Paw Paw schools for the past two
years has resigned to take charge of
the state Of Wisconsin for the w. M.
Welch Manufacturing Company. a
School Supply house. Mr.. Hungerford
resigned his position with the schools
to accept this lucrative and respon-
sble position last Friday. The Board
OF Education met on Friday evening
accepted the resignation and elected
Prof Orren w. Kaye to fill the
vacancy.
Mr.. Hungerford and his splendid
family have been residents of Paw
Paw for the past ten or twelve years.
He was commissioner of schools for
the eight years prior to his superin-
tendency Of the Paw Paw schools
two years ago. He has a host of
friends in the school and in the COM
munity who will regret his decision
to leave, but will wish him well in his
new role. The writer is not informed
as to his plans, but it is presumed
that his family will remain in Paw
Paw at least until the close of the
present school year.
Prof. Orren w. Kay has been prin-
cipal of the schools the past year.
He is a young man of exceptional
ability and qualifications. While it is
something of handicap to start his
work in the middle of the school year,
the Board of Education and patrons
in general have confidence that he
will make good and maintain the high
standing and excellent reputation of
the schools.
A new teacher Of mathematics to
take Mr.. Hayes place in the faculty
was also employed, Miss Bandfield of
Che Chicago University, who reported
for duty on Tuesday morning. Every
thing is working smooth, and excell-
ent results are anticipated for the
year.

CAR COLLIDED WITH LAMP
POST WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

Some one had the misfortune some
time during the night Wednesday, to
run into the street light at the inter-
section of Main and Niles, shattering
the globe and post and knocking the
cement base from its foundation
The car that did the damage. was
a South Haven car containing four
passengers and according TO the state
directory is owned by II. A. Parker.
The driver stated that the light was
not burning (but he is probably mis-
taken about this) and the rain on the
windshield obscured his vision. 1t did
not damage the car to any great ex-
tent, at least it was able to continue
The journey. The question now is,
who will pay for the damaged post
and light.

ENTEREST CENTERED ON SUPER
VISOR. REPUBLICANS MAKE
SUBSTANTIAL GAINS ON
OPPOSITION.
FOUR AMENDMENTS CARRIED
Salary Raise Lost in County and in
State. Republican State Ticket
Wins by Normal Majority.

Probably not in years has there
been as hard fought an election as
was held last Monday. The contests
all centered about the local tickets,
especially on the Office of Supervisor
and every inch of the ground in all
the precincts was hard fought. The
democratic party made determined
effort TO gain control of the Board,
but met with stubborn resistance.
The result as shown in the table on
this page shows the Board will stand
six democrats; twelve republicans
and three Independents, although the
Independents in the city of South
Haven are said to be all republicans.
The vote was heavy throughout
the county. In Paw Paw a total of
637 votes were cast. The entire re-
publican ticket was elected by major
tiles ranging from IA on Paul II.
Smith for Supervisor to pa for Earl
Burhans Justice of the Peace. The
republican majority on the state tick
ct in Paw Paw was approximately POI
while all the amendments carried
with good majorities except the
Salary amendment which lost by a
small majority. Judge Des Voignes
vote here was 447.
In the entire county the total vote
on the state ticket was approximately
$500 giving the republican nominees
majority of 2,15O.The amendments
all carried except the Salary amend
ment which lost in the county by
majority of 1880. The other four
amendments carried in the county by
the following majorities: Absent
Voters. 1893; Drains, 473; Railroad
Purchase, 2,085; Highway, 581.
In the state the entire republican
ticket was elected by the normal
majority, The amendments likewise
carried, with the exception of the
Salary provision which was probably
defeated.

SLASHED AUTO CUSHIONS

slashed two automobile cushions on
the streets of Paw Paw last Wednes-

foot. The cuts were evidently made
with knife or other sharp instru-
ment. The leather covering being cut
clear through, necessitating at least
partial new covering. 1t is inn
possible of course to find out who the
miscreant was who did it, but if he
could be apprehended, no punishment
could be neted cut to him that would
be too severe.
