TERRITORIAL TATTLE

In a letter received recently at Anchorage from Geo, M Campbell, a former resident of that city, he said that he met four Anchorage men in New York City within "A hours in different parts of the city; Chas. Brown on Wall street, George Grigsby in the Grand Central ter minal, Chas. Heron at 42nd and Broadway and Jim Gaffney at the Waldorf. Later the bunch enjoyed a typica! Alaskan dinner at the home of Gaffney.
 w. I. Foster and brother, the for mer a pioneer of the Fairbanks dis trict, are believed to have perished in the Yukon river. They outftted at Whitehorse in October and start ed out for the Fortymile country. Later boat and some provisions which are believed to have been Fosters were found on the right shore of Lake Lebarge, opposite the island. The day was stormy when the men started out, and it is be- lieved the boat was swamped and the men drowned. | Beginning Sunday night, Feb. 5I and continuing until the following Thursday, a Taku wind swept Ju- neau with velocity heretofore un- known. Damage to plate glass win dows, store fronts, signs tar and gravel roofs etc., it is estimated, amounted to between $6,000 and $9,000 Emery Valentine was the heaviest individual loser, several big plate glass windows in the Val entine block being smashed, one of which in the jewelry store broke lot of valuable hand painted china.

Recent arrivals at Fairbanks from the Tolovana country say that Wil. bur creek is looking good and that there is promise of steadily increas- ing activity in mining there.
 J. c. Douhgherty. formerly of Val deg, and later in business in Fair banks, Cordova and Anchorage, suffered sight paralytic stroke re- gently at the Anchorage hotel, in Anchorage.
 E. Volkman, formerly agent fer the White Pass at Tolovana, says that the company will operate two steamers on the Yukon during the coming summer to carry silver ore from Mayo to St. Michael, but will not operate any boats on the Panama. Volkman says this ar rangement will be a temporary one as the White Pass will, no doubt, extend it's railroad line from White horse on into the Mayo district and probably to Dawson.
 The Anchorage Times says that Ole Jensen, of the Snowbird mine on Reed creek, in the Willow creek district, and his associates, have valuable property, situated in the vicinity of the Mike Sherry, Dake Skarstad and other proven proper ties. The owners have been driv- ing a tunnel this winter and expect to crosscut the vein at depth of about 100 feet. Fern and Goodell are working the Archangel property in the same district, and Bob Hat i cher is doing considerable work ol. the Mint. Mir. Jensen predicts that this will be a banner year for that section. |

MRS. HARDING
PASSES CRISIS

great optimism came from the
White House early today. It was
pointed out that Mrs. HardiDg's ex-
cellent condition now Is only com
parative and that she still is ex-
tremely weak and in great danger
OF her life. because OF the insidious
character OF the kidney malady
from which she Is suffering
Each hour. however. that sees no
recurrence of the alarming oompli-
cations which first appeared late last
week. strengthens Mrs. Hardings
chances. Nature and medical skill at
least appeared today TO have tipped
the scales in her favor.
What the doctors now have to do
is see that they do not tip back.
Whereas early yesterday the ply
slcians were wondering whether
Mrs. Harding would be able to with
stand the shock of an operation 10
relieve her, as the day went on, and
she continued to show Improvement,
they virtually abandoned the idea of
operating because they believed that
would no longer be necessary.
In any event the operation was
deferred for the present and II it
should become necessary Il Is now
assured, It was indicated. that the
patient has gained enough so that
she could undergo without such great
danger.
DIR. Charles Mayo. fhe famous
Rochester, MINI. surgeon, who hur-.
rled to Washington when It was be
lieved an operation might be the
only means OF saving Mrs. Harding,
probably will return TO his home to-
day. II an operation has to be per-
formed, DR.. John Finney. of Johns
Hopkins, probably will perform it.
As a result Of the lessening Of the !
crisis President Harding last night |
retired about $50. Mrs. Harding at |
that time was resting comfortably |
and told the President she was go
ing to sleep. Mr.. Harding is about !
worn out from his constant vigil |
and from the tremendous strain of |
anxiety which his wife's illness put |
upon him.
That the President was greatly |

he spoke last night OF today's cab

then. however, whether there would

BONUS Veto
NOW CERTAIN

CONTINUED From First Page.)
Nary forces feel about the rejection
OF their plan. II they will join
forces with me II might be worth
while to make a fight, otherwise It
would appear to be useless"
Senator Simmons asserted that
"only a feint of battle" was made by
the Senate conferees for the reten-
ton OF the Senate amendments. and
he entertains no hope that the Presi-
dent will sign the bill in its present
form. The North Carolina Senator
believes that word has been sent to
the majority conferees to eliminate
both the McNary amendments and
the proposal to pay the bonus by the
use of the foreign loan. The Presi-
dent has fully made up his mind to
veto the bill, he added, and the ad-
ministration leaders feel that it
would be a very unpopular thing to
give the McNary reclamation pro-
ject a black eye by vetoing a meas
ure of which it was a part.
Senator McCumber, who has
sponsored the bonus bill through
thick and thin and who has always
been optimistic about its fate, in
commenting on the measure, said:
'"I am not making any more prom
ises or prophecies"
1t seems that at last he has seen
the handwriting on the wall and has
been convinced that the President is
standing like a wall against the raid.
After telling of the elimination
or the Senate amendments-the
McNary reclamation project and
the plan of financing the bonus OBJ
legation by using the foreign loan
Senator McCumber told OF the other
changes made by the conferees in
the bill. They were:
The veteran must make applica-
ton for the adjusted compensation
on or before January 1, 1928. In
the House bill the limit was six
months after the passage of the bill, !
while in the Senate bill no time |
limit was imposed.
The land and farm settlement |
was changed so that the veteran is
given a straight credit of S1.25 per
@NJ AcA teNA ha9 , htE vice at nome /
or abroad. In the amended Senate
bill there was a graduated scale of
credit staating at 81 per day and
reaching s1.40 per day in 1928, de-
pending upon the time the veteran
applied for that benefit.
Senator Walsh (Mass) was much
when the conferees
lgreed to strike out the Simmons
amendment. He is absolutely sim
ere in his support of the bonus and
eels that the elimination of the
simmons amendment will likely
ound its death knell.
Asked what plan the conferees
greed upon to finance the bonus
aid. Senator Walsh said:
THE majority expressed the opin-
on that It could be taken care OF
y the Congress in the appropria- :
ion bills just the same as any other :
bligation. 1t will likely be includ-
d in the budget unless the Presi- J
ent and the Treasury Department c
gree upon some other plan OF rais-
ng the needed revenue"
Just when the bonus bill will be {
ent to the President is a matter of ]

The two items frequently dis
cussed in talking about school costs
in this State are general control and
Institutional service. Taxpayers are
always interested in seeing that the
general control or Overhead" as It
is sometimes called, is kept low and
that the largest percentage possible
Of school funds go for the main pur-
pose OF the schools. namely, instruc-
tion.
This analysis shows clearly that
the Delaware school system is now
meeting these requirements in that
while the average throughout the
United States for instruction is $50,
the percentage for our State in 1921
22 was II per cent. At the same
time the general control or "over-
head" was kept down. Another
point OF interest in this respect is
that this percentage for instruction
has been on the increase during the
last three years and is now much
higher than the average for the five
years. This means that most OF the
increase in the school costs goes to-
ward the payment of teachers which
must always be the big cost in run

Following n short session this
morning during which time the payl

Directors OF the Street and Sewer
Department relative to constructing
approaches to the proposed bridge
at Pine Street across the Brandy
wine river. The conference was held
in the Street and Sewer Department
rooms. No action was taken, the
city officials promising to make a
report later as to what location they
favored for the bridge and the costs
of the approaches.
Frank L. Jones, chairman of the
bridge committee OF the court said
he did not insist on the bridge be-
ing built at Pine street but thought
1t should be near that location.
A. l.. Johnson, president OF the
street and sewer directors, said he
thought Pine street was a fair di-
vision between the two bridges.
James Ball, of Brandywine hun
dred, asked If the city would build
the approaches to the bridge.
Frank w. Pierson replied the
cost would have TO be borne by a
bond issue. his department having
received its appropriation from the
city.
Mr.. Johnson said his department
had given but little thought to the
Pine street bridge project.
