schools Of the county will resume
studies again this morning. All have
spent pleasant time, we trust, and
the scholars will enter upon their
work with a determination that will
bring honor to themselves and salts
faction to their parents, who are
anxiously awaiting the time when
they will rise in the world and there
make their lives worth while. The
teachers have all returned from their
homes, where they spent the holidays
with relatives and friends and are
anxious to get back on the JOB, feel
ing that the needed vacation has
rendered them doubly fit for the du-
ties of the remaining days of the
school session. Let all the scholars
strive to make the coming days of this
session one of the best in the history
Of their school days and emerge at
the closing with honors that will bring

SEASONS WORK ON ROADS HAS
 BEEN STARTED

JUNEAU. April 19.-Work on the | OphirTakotna road, in the Kusko- kwim district, is to be started this ! spring as early as possible and all ! the forces at the command of the 1 Alaska road commission used to bring it to a rapid completion, according 10 Col. J. c. Gotwals, engineering of ficer of the commission.
 w. M. Lukens, now in Juneau comforting with the commission Of ficers, will have charge of the pro ject as district superintendent, re. porting directly to headquarters at Juneau instead of to Fairbanks as heretofore. After remaining here a few days MT. Luckens will go to Seattle to purchase supplies to be taken north on the first boa. after navigation opens.
 AS explained by Colonel Gotwals this piece of road, although only 22 miles in length, is one of the most important pieces of road work in the territory. It connects McGrath on the Kuskokwim with Ophir and al. lows mine operators in that district to get supplies directly to their claims at saving, it is estimated, of 10 cents a pound
 Colonel Gotwals said he hoped the commission also would be able to get some work done on the Nixon Landing road leading to the Tread we'll property at Nixons Fork. This work also will be in charge of MT. Luckens, as will all projects along the lower Yukon.
 1 According to advices received at the headquarters of the Alaska road commission here, there has been an early spring breakup on the Richard son highway leading from Valdez to the interior. Work has been started there by the commission upon erec- ton of two bridges along the road crossing Sheep and Bear creeks. Material for these structures was freightcd to it's destination over the winter trail Colonel Gotwals said he looked for a fine seasons work along the Richardson highway.
 Work also will be immediately started on the Sitka to Jamestown bay road, sometimes called the In- dian river road, according to Colonel GotwaIs. A stretch of this highway called 'Lover's Lane," is one of the beauty spots of the north and has always been in great demand by "spooners." N. Trieschild of Sitka, who has charge of road work for the commission in the Sitka district, is now in conference with officials of the commission here and plans have been made that will put this road in most excellent condition.

HEADS RELIEF FUNDS
 FOR RUSSIANS

In subscriptions to the relief of starving European children, Alaska stands at the head of the United States of the national collection, ac- cording to advices received by Gov Thomas Riggs from national head quarters. Alaska's quota, on the basis of $33,000,0OO for the entire country, had been fixed by the control committee for the European council at $10,000, while the total fund raised by the territory is approximately $22,- 900, according to Governor Riggs, who acted as territorial chairman in this campaign.
 In a letter just received by Gov ernor Riggs from H. l.. Gutterson, of the control committee, it is stated:
 "It is with greatest pleasure that we are able to tell you that Alaska stands at the head of the Uuited States on the national collection. Easing our original estimate for each locality on readjustment of the Red Cross war drive quota down to a $33,000,000 basis, we had put Alaska down at $10,O00. Your letter, stating that you will realize approxi- mately $22,000, assures Alaska of the first place by very large mar

HAWAII is SECOND

Tt may be interesting to you to know that the Hawaiian islands are second, New Hampshire third, Ore gon fourth Rhode Island fifth, Min nesota sixth, South Dakota seventh, Michigan eighth, Alabama ninth and Arizona tenth.
 One fact stands out in the collec- tion and that is that the type of state-agricultural or industrial-the geographic location of the state, or the economic and financial conditions, have little or no effect on the cam paign. The success or failure of the campaign has obviously been in every case due to the ability, energy and interest of the state chairmen and their committees.

TOTAL UP TO DATE

we have succeeded in raising in cash to date $27,75O,0O0. In addition to this, we have certain other re- sources and expectancies from a few states that have not yet finished, which will bring us well over $29,- 100000. In view of the fact that the original program was made up early last fall, when the price of foodstuffs was considerably higher than at the present time, this sum of money will adequately cover the program laid out by the European relief council and so we can close knowing that we have carried on the only successful na- tional collection since the war and also knowing that it has been done at a lower cost than any national campaign that we know of. The cost has been less than two and one-half per cent.
 MANY SMALL SUBSCRIBERS
 One interesting feature of the campaign has been the innumerable small subscribers. The plight of the European children has appealed to the American imagination far beyond what we thought it would and the knowledge that the money was being expended under the direction of MT. Hoover and by the four largest re- lief organizations in this country in spired confidence among givers of every class.
