MT. RAINIER, Nd, March p
It was learned yesterday that Bill
Hoffman. star twirler of the Mt.
Rainier baseball team is to report
on April Is to the Philadelphia
Athletics for a try1out with that
team.
Plans are under way by the
Officers Club of Magnolia Rebekah
Lodge, IL, I. o. o. F., to raise
funds for the new I. o. o. F. home.
The Magnolia lodge is planning an
entertainment for the members of
T. o. o. F. on April il. in Star
Hall.
One of the biggest real estate
development projects ever started
in this section has been started on
the south side of Rhode Island
avenue, taking in the entire wood
ed section. Sites are being cleared
preparatory to digging foundations
for about 26 new dwellings,, most
of which will face Eastern avenue,
connecting with the new sub
division recently opened by Thomas
w. Smith at Rives Station.
Eulysses Hoge who was appoint
ed postmaster on March 1. has al
ready sent in his resignation to
the Postoffice Department. He
gives as his reason, the low pay
Of the office. The position pays
$1,000 q year, out of which the
postmaster must pay part of his
clerical hire and the overhead. The
net salary is about 5000 a year. Mr..
Hoge has never taken the oath
OF office or signed for his bond,
which is fixed at $4,000, he said
last night. Under this condition
he has the privilege of walking
out OF the office any day, but says
that he will stick until q new post
master is appointed. So far as it
can be learned. the only remaining
candidate in the field is I. S. Gallo
way. who has been in the Post
office Department for about twelve
years. The examination for the
postmastership which was scheduled
Tor tomorrow. has been postponed.
County Superintendent Of the
Puohc Schools Nicholas Orem has
been invited to attend the next
meeting of the Mt. Rainier Citizens
Association and Gcquaint the asso.
cation with the details OF the
scnooI system. It is hoped that
some remedial solution may be
reached over the present contro-
Versy that has been Waging for
several months. The root of the
school evil has been aid to the
text books used.

DENYCONF US|ON

Citizens Declare judiciary and
Legislative Representation
Would Be Unchanged.

CLARENDON, Va, March S.-
Denial that the bill introduced in
both branches of the Virginia legis-
lature to incorporate Arlington
county would necessitate drastic
changes in the representation In
that body, and confusion in the
judiciary, was made today by the
| legal subcommittee of Arlington
county and the Civic Federation on
Incorporation Of Arlington County.
Legal obstacles raised in news dis
patches from Richmond, it Is stated,
are without foundation.
The subcommittee states that the
| change from a county to q city gov
eminent cannot deprive the people
OF representation in the legislature
as alleged, as the bill expressly
provides that the legislative district
| snail remain the same.
In connection with the Judiciary,
the subcommittee says that the
only change which will take place,
II the measure is passed, will be in
the name of the present Arlington
county court to that of the Airing.
ton city court.
The present judge, the subcom-
mittee claims and the clerk, would
| remain and all suits now pending
would be tried as If no change had
occurred.
Continuing, the subcommittee
points out that any opposition on
the part Of the people, as was al
legged, is covered by a provision
for q referendum vote. The charter,
1t states, cannot go into effect Until
ratified by a. majority vote of the
| people.
Dispatches from Richmand state
that the number of counties will
be reduced from 100 to ninety-nine
II the measure is passed, thus af-
fecting representation in the legis-
lature. The bill was referred to a
committee and q date will be set
for hearing.
1t is expected that a bitter fight
will be Waged IL any determined
opposition to the measure is brought
forth.
The measure provides that Falls
| Church and the town of Potomac
may become a part of the city OF
Arlington, or they can affiliate with
Fairfax county.
The point is stressed that IL they
go to Fairfax county they viii take

MINING MACHINERY SHIPPED

Indications of mining activities of the interior were noted among the freight shipments on the Northwest ern, large number of pieces of ma chinery being scheduled for shipment to points along the railroad. Perhaps the heaviest shippers were the Fair banks Gold Dredging Company, oper- ating on Fairbanks creek, 2S miles from the town of Fairbanks. The property upon which the dredge is en- gagged is of some extent and many more years will be required before the ground has been worked out. The Mt Mckinley Gold Mining Company, in the Kantishna district, also receiv- cd quite a shipment of hydraulic SUD- plies and it is expected that this con- cern will produce heavily this year.

TO OUR PATRONS.

In order to avoid any misunder- standing on the part of patrons, it is customary for this and other papers in Alaska to charge for all advcrtis- ing, local and otherwise, where a charge is made in turn. Lodges who advertise will receive notices of meet ings and special meetings free; but will be requested to pay for dance mo- tices where admission is charged. This custom has been generally followed, but there appears to be some misun- derstanding about it.
 If The Gateway is to continue pub fishing it is necessary that we get ev- cry cent possible, as our monthly ex- penses are enormous and our receipts limited.

It appears that Seward is to have Standard Oil tanks despite all the ob- stacles thrown in the way of the in coming industry.

It was hoped that these tanks would be in operation by the first of May or June, as it meant dozens of halibut boats and other vessels calling at Seward If we get them in time for next years operations, we shall be thankful, however.

Because history has repeated itself
in the willingness Of a people TO stake
their lives and their property in a high

that it will be duplicated, too. in the
solution of the problems of peace by
those who were c%onquerors in war.
For if we shall glance back over the
period since the greatest civil war in
all history was fought. we shall be
impressed rather by the phenomena
Of the Reconstructed than by deeds Of
