STATE DEPARTMENT HEARS
 OF BOLSHEVIK BREAKDOWN

SEATTLE, Jan. 25-The Wash ington correspondent of the Seattle Times says the state department has received some slight hope for the early resumption of trade with Siberia in the form of dispatches which leave room for the assump- ton that Bolshevik rule in Eastern Siberia will be ended this winter.
 The report says that conditions in the Trans-Baikel region have reached a point where the shortage of even the elementary necessities, including food, clothing and medi- cine is so serious they are practi- cally unobtainable.
 Reports received locally from Blagovest Schensck, where Joe Vint, Fred Parker and other former Alas kans have installed gold mining machinery, confirm the Washington reports.

HAWkESWORTH SAYS ALASKA
 MUST THROW SCHOOLS OPEN

SEATTLE, Jan. 25-Charles W. Hawkeskorth, superintendent of the buereau of education in Southeast ern Alaska, in a statement relative to his announcement that the bur eau hopes eventually to eliminate federal schools where territorial and Nelson schools are in operation, said, in an interview published here yes terday: "The bureau of education has been misunderstood in the ter ritory, particularly among the mem- bers of Alaska native neighborhoods. It has been accused of wishing to segregate the native people and keep them from the plane of the whites. The contrary is the case, and from now on the policy of the bur eau will be to eliminate bureau schools where other means of edu- cation exist.
 "We do not expect that assimila- ton will be a matter of few months or a few years, but in time there will be no more bureau schools in Alaska where there are other schools. We expect some opposition among the white people but the fact remains, as long as the native is citizen and taxpayer, his child

ren can attend the schools of the territory if they come from sani- tary homes"
 Territorial Commissioner of Edu- cation Lester D. Henderson says the abolishment of the bureau school is not timely. He declares that the elimination of the native school in any community does not mean that the doors of the public will be open ed to receive all native citizens. Three things, he says, stand in the way of the unified scheme of educa- ton in Alaska-the economic status and hereditary tendencies of the native which renders it difficult for him to conform to the standard of the territorial schools in regularity and punctuality of attendance; the inability of the average native to conform to the rules of home sani- tation and bodily cleanliness, and the prevalence of infections among the native population.
 W. T. Lopp, chief of the Alaska bureau of education, says the con- troversy between Hawkesworth ond Henderson is very premature, in as much as no assimilation of white and native children can be expected un- til the distant future, if at all.

TO TAKE CHARGE
 OF COAL COMPANY AFFAIRS

Robertson s. Donaldson, who came to Nenana more than a year ago to take charge of the Nenana store of the Alaskan Engineering commis- sion, has rendered his resignation to the engineer in charge and will leave the employ of the Govern ment about the first of February, to become general manager for the Healy River Coal corporation, his selection being the result of a re- organization of the company. The annual election of officers will take place about the first of the month and at that time MT. Donaldson will be formally installed in his new po- sition.
 Another change in the affairs of the company will be the employ ment of MT. Pete Conley, as under ground foreman, and still other changes are contemplated, all with a view to improving the service to the public. Both MT. Donaldson and the new foreman have had experience in the coal mining game-in fact, the latter is veteran coal miner, having devoted many years of his life to the business.
 Mir. Donaldson has become asso- ciated with the coal company be- cause he believes Alaska has a solid growth ahead of it and that coal mining will be one of the big industries of the future. ~:..
 Under the present management the Healy mine has been opened in a thorough manner and has been brought to the point where it can produce about 100 tons of coal daily.
 Ernest Peterson, who is in charge at the mine now, expects to leave for the Outside as soon as MT. Don aldson can relieve him. He is going out to join his brother Gust, who is in the oil game in the state of Washington. The Petersons are not quitting the country altogether, for they still own interests in several Interior camps and probably will be back to operate them after they have brought in a few oil wells.
 Dr. J. R. Bowen will retain his interest in the coal company and will continue to act as local selling agent.

Scarlet feverN and diphtheria are
both unusually prevalent throughout
the state this year. Fortunately, tc
date, but. very few cases of diph.
liberia have been noted in Medina
county, However, the number Of
cases of diphtheria reported each
month of this year throughout the
state has been consistently higher
thar last year, the total for 1920 be-
ing 3,840, as against 1899 for 1921
There have been just about twice
as many cases reported this year as
last, and preliminary figures for Oc-
tober. indicate that the increased
number of reports is not lessening
Unless prompt action is taken the
death rate will be very high from
diphtheria this year.
While diphtheria is prevalent in
many communities, RIO section Of the
state has a monopoly on the disease
and it is so well seeded in every Sec
tion that the most stringent precau-
tioas should be exercised by everyone
Every case of sore throat should be
considered as possible diphtheria un-
til the contrary is proved. Suspected
cases or actual contacts should re-
ceive antitoxine Immediately.
The Medina County Board OF
Health row has on hand for distribu-
ton "a limited amount of diphtheria
toxin for Schick tests and also toxin
antitoxin, which gives fairly perman-
ent immunity.
