La lara people voted a bond issue
of $125,0O0 last Monday for the
drainage of La lara and large scope
of contiguous territory. To no small
extent is the successful voting of the
bonds due to Engineer Harry L. Nor

the area to be drained and showed
conclusively to the people the import

BRAKEMAN LOSES HIS LIFE

Paul J. Krogstad, a Great
Northern brakeman who lived
with his wife and four little
children at Minot, died at the
Rugby hospital Tuesday morn
ing a few minutes after being
taken to the institution. The un-
fortunate man was injured while
the way freight crew, of which
he was a member, was switching
in the Knox yards. Both legs
were badly crushed, one at the
knee joint and one at the hip.
Krogstad was discovered by
other members of the crew ly-
ing between the rails. It il
presumed he fell from the top of
a stock car on which he was rid
ing, but no one saw the accident.
He was unconscious until found
and until death occurred . No
medical attention being avail
able at Knox he was rushed to
Rugby on a special train and ex-
pired shortly after reaching the
hospital.
Krogstad was about % years
of age and leaves a wife and
four little children. He was for

ONE of the queer things about the
general appeal for saving sweeping
the country is the huge sum spent to
bring this saving about. Every mail
brings a dozen printed letters appeal
ing to the people to save this or that
thing, the saving of which has been
greatly exceeded by the cost of the
printed matter. The last mail brought
a voluminous appeal to the citizens of
Valdez to save gasoline by walking.
The last Pathe News shown at the
Empress gave a view of several miles
of motor vehicles escorting the Bel
gian and French commission thru the
principal cities of the Union, all
burning gasoline that should be saw
ed. What is the use of advising a
man to save who has nothing to save
while the example set is exactly the
opposite. Well venture to say that If
any one of these gentlemen who are
daily preaching economy were forced
to live on the diet of an Alaskan edi-
tor he would quit his job in a few
days. The nation should save, but the

PORTAGE BAY will ultimately be

PORTAGE BAY will ultimately be
the governments winter port for the
Chickaloon coal fields, according to
parties returning on recent boats
from the westward. Portage Bay is
a much shorter haul than Seward or
Anchorage and eliminates the deep
SHOWS and heavy grades on the line
between Anchorage and Seward. Now
that Anchorage has been definitely
turned down as winter port, it is
practically certain that Portage Bay
will be the site selected. The harbor is
unusually we'll protected, is free from
ice, and can be approached by the
construction of a short tunnel. And
it places the coal bunkers nearly 800
miles nearer to Valdez, which is the
most important consideration.

THE striking timber workers in
the state of Washington are asking
for an eight-hour day, and their EN-
ployers are asking the government to
interfere and force them to go back
to work, with the plea that the men
were l. w. WIS. The government has
interfered and asked the employers
to grant the mems demands as the
strike was holding up the construc-
ton of ships needed for the trans
portation of supplies to our army in
Europe. The employers refused to
consider the governments request,
saying that it had been prompted by
l. w. w. influences. In every instance
where the government has appealed
to the patriotism of the workers they
have returned to their duty. On the
other hand when the decision was
against them, the employers have re-
fused to listen to the president and
have overridden his wishes, Which of
these two parties is the most patri-

IN the fear future an attempt will
be made by parents with children Of
school age to have the question Of
bonding the town for the purpose Of
erecting a modern school building
placed before the people for their ap-
proval or rejection. 1t seems to the
thoughtful man that if the time was
ever propitious to erect a new school
building that time is now. The terri
tory has enacted a law providing that
seventy-five per cent of the expenses
of maintaining schools shall be borne
by the territory, leaving but twenty
five per cent to be paid by the town.
This will leave but about $4,000 to
be raised by the city instead of ST.
900, as formerly A new building will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000
to $4,000. With twenty year bonds
this will make only little over
$1,000 per year 10 be paid by the
city. The present buildings are prac-
tically unfit fof Se by the children,
being unsanitary,, cold, and with no
toilets worthy of the name. They are
heated by coal stoves and the light
ing is poor. In the winter the winds
sweep down on the buildings and pile
the snow about them. A new building
with a large basement for the chill
dren to play in during recess and to
eat warm lunches in at moons is vi
tai necessity. At this time when build
ing is slackening, the construction of
a school building would release many
thousand dollars of outside money in
the city, and would benefit all, while
the repayment of the loan would be
in such small amounts that it would
work no hardship upon the taxpayer.
