week." said MT. Valentine this after noon.
 Several days ago I wrote Ions letter, giving all details regardin2 Juneau and facilities for cold stor age plant, to the fiscal agent Oi those interested in the propose plant here. I showed conclusively that this city was the place. In this letter I also asked that decision regarding coming to Juneau be wired me
 Before this letter had reached the East. I received cablegrams from the fiscal agent showing that Juneau had been misrepresented by a man now in the East.
 Upon receipt of this cablegram sent reply telling what I though of the former Juneau mans story. and then advising that I stood ready tative making the trip to Juneau to make a personal investigation
 AS I have said before the people of Juneau must consider that fin ancial bodies move slowly. but I have received every indication that the cold storage plant will come to Juneau Few people know that MT. Snow left New York after the fiscal agent had been told to follow as soon as possible. This is shown in letters I now have on file. Mi. Snow was in the New York office Of the man who is chiefly interested in the plant for Juneau, when this capitalist instructed the fiscal agent TO join MT Snow in Seattle as soon as possible and come here and make his report
 "You see why everything looks favorable? Capital ready for the .oH storage plant both in the East drd in Juneau, and instructions is- sued to the,efiscal agent or general manager to come North and see for himself why Juneau is the logical center and then start things.
 Right now there is an unprece. dented run of fish on the Atlantic Coast, and the fiscal agent, or as l have been told, the general man ager of the proposed plant may De busy with his other affiliations in the fishing industry, owing to the present Eastern fish run., and il might be several days before the To- cal matter is again taken up.
 q believe we will have the cold storage plant in Juneau and il is only a matter of few days be fore we know for certain

Emery Valentine Voices Be lief Eastern Capitalists
 Preparing to Co Ahead.

Important developments are due in the next few days regarding the cold storage plant planned for Ju- neau by Eastern capitalists accord ing to Emery Valentine, who has been associated in the promotion of the project. Mr. Valentine has re- ceived many letters and cablegrams during the last few days and his answers to the cablegrams and let ters are expected to bring decisive results.
 H. H. Snow has wired Mr Val entine that he is remaining in Sc attle, awaiting the arrival of the fiscal manager of the Eastern capital ists, and MT. Valentine has not only written, but cabed to the Eastern representatives 10 advise him one way or the other regarding the cold storage plant.
 MT Valentine has also sent cable grams informing the fiscal agent that if there is any doubt as to Juneau not being the proper place for a cold storage plant. that he come to Alaska at Mir. Valentines personal expense, and make a first hand investigation.
 'I am quite sure something very definite will be received in Juneau regarding the cold storage, or freez- ing plant as the Eastern interests call it, before the end of the coming

IRON COUNTY pays q state income

ty is about 5000, while Washington
has in the neighborhood of 1890. Is
it a general proposition that the more

may be SO in many instances, but sta
tistically Washington boasts more
than a million of taxable wealth over
that of our own little county.

1T appears that the "County Unit"
Bill passed by the last Legislature
will, if allowed to go into effect, prove
to be the mostunpopular of any OF the
pet measures of Governor Hyde.
Men Of both political parties through
out the State look upon this bill as a
dangerous and injurious law because
1t deprives the people of local self
government and takes from the local
school boards the right of managing
their affairs, and vests all important
local management of the various
school districts in a County Board of
Education consisting of six members
to be elected by the people of the
County.
Here are some of the duties of the
County Board: to appoint a county
superintendent of schools. To dis
charge him upon charges preferred in
writing. To provide for Office and
travelling expenses of the county su-
perintendent and his assistants and
prescribe his duties; to contract with
teachers; fix their salaries; elect as
sistants; exercise supervisory power
over care and keeping of school prop
erty; change boundary lines; combine
local school districts; establish, gov
ern, and maintain high schools; as
sign eighth grade graduates to high
schools; prepare a budget setting out
total amount Of funds necessary for
maintaining schools; make rules for
classification of pupils; provide for
free libraries; free text books; ascer-
tain amount of indebtedness of local
school districts; levy an annual tax
for the payment of the same; take
over the official records of the local
districts, as we'll as the title to school
house sites, buildings, ETC.; pay tut
ton costs of colored children in any
colored school in the state; pay school
teachers by warrant; fix salary of
janitors, clerks, teachers, etc.
For performing ell these duties and
many others the members of the
County Board shall each receive five
dollars per day and 20 cents per mile.
The law very wisely provides that
these six men who perform these va
rious acts and practically monopolize
the educational interests OF the coun-
ties of this state shall be able to READ
and WRITE, They are not required
under the law to take a civil service
examination, but since the county su-
perintendent has only to look to them
for his election, he will probably lend
q helping hand to them in running the
educational affairs of the county.
Heretofore the local districts had--a
hight to vote levies, issue bonds for
the purpose OF building school houses.
Not now. These six men attend to. all
these local matters at the expense Of
the county. They contract with the
teachers and pay the teachers.
The local school boards are retained
but their purpose seems to be only or
namentai.

A RACE riot in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on
Tuesday night of last week, resulted
in the loss of scores of lives, and for
a time set aside the restraint OF law
and order. The negro section of the
city was virtually destroyed by incen-
diary fires, and thousands were made
homeless. The strong arm of the law
finally prevailed, but the evil results
of the riots will long be felt. To a st.
Louis POST Dispatch reporter, sent to
investigate and report the conditions
at Tulsa, Rev. H. G. Cook of the Cen
tennary Methodist church, said in
part:
One cannot, of course, be certain of
the exact causes which led up to the
outbreak, but it is my opinion that
the principal one was the drafting of
negroes into the army, and their re-
cognition by the United States Gov
eminent as soldiers on the same plane
as the white soldier. l cannot be-
lieve other than that attempts to place
negroes on an equality with white peo-
pie will inevitably lead to a wider and
more dangerous gulf between the rae
es. That is particularly true in such a
State as Oklahoma, which is on the
border between the North and the
South. The United States placed
them on the same footing in the army
as the white soldiers, and many of
them when they returned walked
through the streets with an
arrogance they never would. have
dreamed of assuming before the war
White people have been forced either
to step aside on the sidewalk or be
brushed aside by negroes. Negroes
have ignored the Jim Grow law on the
street cars, under which the car is d.
vided into two sections, one for whites
and one for negroes. They have over
flowed into the white section of the
cars and have remained seated there
while white women we're forced to
stand in the aisle"
