trict school board because, rs was
stated in our former article, a posi-
tion on the school board is the biggest
little thank,ess joD in the word and
in many instances, the school board
receives blame for misfortunes that it
is in nowise responsible for. We are
not familiar with the school law in
Oregon but, in most states, where
members OF schol boards are proven
to be so incompetent as Mr.. Glaser
AYERS is the case in his and other dis.
'tricts, it is possible to recall them and
put men in their liaces who will dis.
charge their duties satisfactorily. Es'
pecially is this true when, as Mr..
Chaser says, he is on the eide of an
discontented organized majc 'ity. We
would suggest that providing the coun-
ty unit plan fails to carry. Mr.. Glaser
get busy with his organized majority
ard oust those members of the school
be ard in his district that are alleged
to be incompetent.
Mr.. Glaser's Plea for the county
unit plan is just one and It is to be
hoped that the freeholders of Lincoln
county will pile up q big majority of
"YES" votes at the election November
7 for this now s"hon' system.

FLEEs TO EUROPE TO
 ESCAPE NOTORIETY

WASHINGTON. May 23-Mary Cul- bertson the attractive daughter of the Senator from Texas, who has been much in the public eye of late, due to charges made by Alexander Robertson a British war veteran, that the Senator had attempted to spirit him out of the country to break off an attachment between Mary and Robertson, sailed for Europe on Saturday. The young woman was attended only by her maid and her destination is unannounced. Robertson is still in this city, although no move has yet been made by him to bring the Senator to account for the alleged efforts to kidnap. The British embassy has taken no official action as a result of Robertson's disclosures. It is believed the affair will die out without further notoriety.

OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR LOCATION OIL TANKS
 AT SEWARD SOON

MT. Sidney S. Chadderton Assistant Luncheon yesterday. In few informal Oil Company of California, with head quarters at Seattle, was a guest of the Seward Chamber of Commerce at a Luncheon yesterday. nI few informal remarks, MT. Chadderton explained the mission of himself and MT. R. Fl. Fleser to this section.
 Ut is not our policy to make promis- es,' said MT. 'Chadderton, ''but you may be assured that we are as anxious to en ter southwestern Alaska as you are to have us come. Just as soon as enough business is in sight to warrant it thera will be storage tanks built here or at some point along the railroad and We as we have done in southeastern AL aska"
 In speaking of Seward MT. Chadder- ton said, You have a most beautiful townsite It is one of the best that 1 have seen in Alaska. You have an ideal harbor and waterfront and from all ap- pearances Seward is very ideally situat ed. There are many advantages of this place that will not be overlooked by us in the determination of the location of our main distributing point in South western Alaska. When the business in this section becomes such that we are warranted in erecting the sized sta tion that is required by reason of the distance from the source of supply, we will do so.''
 MT. Fleser has been busy the last two days in making survey of the waterfront and available sites for oil tanks. As soon as all data that has been secured locally is gathered, MT Chadderton and MT. Fleser will make a trip over the railroad to Anchorage, Nenana, and Fairbanks.
