JUNEAU PAPER SAYS
 STRIKE IS THREATENED
(Stroller's Weekly)

A Juneau man who returned here Thursday says that when he left An chorage there was consternation in the railroad camp over a demand from the train-operating department that wages must be increased 40 per cent or a strike will result.
 The party bringing the news also said that it was not certain just what or how many brotherhoods were be- hind the demand but he had been giv- en to understand that the conductors, brakemen, engineers and firemen were back of the movement, and it was ex- pected the shopmen would be enlist ed in their ranks.
 The informant said that nothing had been published in the Anchorage or Seward papers regarding the threatened trouble and that it was hoped the matter could be settled and hushed up without undue publicity.
 Gull accounts of the wage demand and General Manager Smiths reply have been published in both Anchor age and Seward papers.)

OLDTIMER FROM TELLER
 ARRIVES ON CORONA

Chas .Dinton, an oldtimer from St. Michael, Nome and Teller, arrived on the Cordova this morning and will leave on one of the next trains for Fairbanks where he will spend the winter. MT. Dinton came directly from Teller where he went to look after a shipment of 400 reindeer, to be talk en out on the Apollo. Owing to this vessel getting fast in the ice an be- ing forced to turn back, the deer were placed in cold storage until next year.
 MT. Dinton has been connected with the Pacific Cold Storage Company for a number of years, and is we'll known throughout the north. He was at Teller when the U. s. coast guard Mo- jave arrived in port, after breaking ice for ten miles or more He states that the stores at Teller were practi- cally out of flour, potatoes, sugar, butter and other staples, and for a time it looked as if the people would be on a starvation diet this winter. The Mojave landed 36 tons of SUD- plies and quantity of coal placing the camp out of danger from want until next spring. The camp was very quiet when MT. Dinton left, a little mining and dredging going on. The freezup was quite early this year, ice forming on the 18th of October.
 The cutter Mojave searched diligent- ly for the Silver Wave, adrift on the ice field, but failed to find any trace of the boat. The crew got safely ashore with the mails and started down the coast for Teller. The Mo- jave reached port October 25, convey ing the party to Nome.
 The gas boat Meteor left St. Mich ael several days before the Cordova left for Seward and the states, going outside to have diesel engines install

REGISTERED FOXES
 FROM P. E. ISLANDS

The steamer Admiral Rogers which arrvied in Juneau recently brought about three pairs of reg istered silver black foxes for the Marshall-Dawes fur farm near Men denhall Glacier from Prince Edward Island, the animals travelling across the continent to Seattle and north by steamer. All six of the animals arrived in good condition. They were taken to the farm and turned loose in the corrals.
 The following from the Anchorage Alaskan indicates that Alaska foxes are being shipped to Prince Edward Island in much greater number than from the latter place to Alaska. The Alaskan says:
 The largest fox purchase said to have ever been cOnsumated in this section of the Territory, took place in the Cook Inlet district, few days ago when MT. Morrison, of Mill ligan and Morrison, big fox men Of Prince Edward Island, on the east coast of Canada, bought from the Williamson fox ranch at Kasilof, and other ranches in that section, 24O foxes It is stated that the sum paid for the fox was $500 per pair.
 It is understood that Mir. Morrison endeavored to purchase more but was unable to do so at that time. He was in this district last season and bought then, large number of fox from the ranch of Waller and Windson The Williamson ranch alone supplies him with 189 foxes of the total amount, in the deal last week.

MIXED RACE SCHOOLS
 QUESTION AT SITKA
(Sitka Tribune.)

The School Question, ie., entering Indian children in the Public Schools has been raised by MT. Paul. No one else raised the question, but it caused so much discussion that to get at the bottom of the matter a personal call was made on a promi- nent Indian business man in Sitka village, who, in reply to the ques tion, Do you consider Indian chil- dred should attend the Public School?" said, Not while they are small, they could not keep up with the white children, but if boy or girl can go through the eight grades and the Bureau of Education has no provision for High School instruction these children should be allowed to enter the Public Schools for the High School course" This mat ter also came up at a recent meeting of the City Council, when ways and means for securing new public school building were discussed. MT. Andrew Hope, councilman, said that as far as he was concerned, he only wanted to see room in the new building for an Indian child to take the High School course
 The Bureau of Education has fall en down badly in Sitka in not pro- viding better buildings for the edu- cation of Indian children. The funds for this come from the U. S. Treas ury. A new public school building is sorely needed. The funds for this building must be raised by the City of Sitka. A new Bureau of Educa- tion school would take care of the Indian children for many years to come, and here is where MT. Paul could do much good, if he used his influence for school, instead of over an issue for which the time is not ripe.

JESSE LEE HOME MAY
 BE REMOVED SEWARD

At the Seward Chamber of Com- merce meeting today the chief topic of interest was the removal of the Jesse Lee Home, to either Seward or Seldovia, some time this coming year. Rev. R. V. B. Dunlap told the cham Der that the Methodist conference at Kansas City had recently voted to re- move the home from the far west to a point where it would be more con- venient to transportation and where it would not be so expensive to keep up. Rev. Dunlap stated that two large buildings would be erected here, if the Home selects this site, and that these would have a central heating plant, with shops for manual training, the crafts and other work. Accom- modations for 100 children and some eight teachers would have to be pro- vided. He favored the acquisition of about 40 acres of land close to town, with sufficient water power for use by the home in lights, power, etc.
 There should also be enough tillable land to provide vegetables, and keep the cattle necessary. At the present time, the Rev. Dunlap said, it cost the home about $25,00O per year to operate, and this would mean a big addition to Seward trade. A school would also be necessary with four teachers.
 The chamber talked the matter over at some length and President Hinde appointed a committee con- slsting of Messrs. Dougherty, McMul- len and urbach to look over proposed sites and see what ground could be secured. Jos. Holman, who, was pres ent at the meeting rendered 40 acres of good land near the Nash home stead, and following adjournment of the meeting a prominent citizen of fered to donate 50 acres of fine land for the school. This land is on the
 
 and close to the railroad In case the proposition is accepted it will give Seward nearly 200 more inhabitants and add greatly to the volume of trade. The Rev. Dunlap stated that committee would arrive in April to look over conditions.
 A communication was sent to a colony in Connecticut desiring to To- cate in Seward, offering favorable To- cations.
 A communication was received from Al Sollers, of Grant Lake, offering this same colony an excellent water power site, sawmill and two quartz mines. MT. Sellers desired the cham Der to conduct negotiations for him.
 The Standard Oil company sent a communication to the Chamber ask ing for information relative to the city, it's population, and the number of vessels plying to and from this port This is to be used in compiling itss annual statistics.
 The San Francisco chamber sent a request for the names of coffee users, to be turned over to a large importing house.
 The question of advertising in the Alaska Weekly was taken up once more, the committee reporting no ac- tion taken as yet, altho several fa- vorable responses had been received from merchants and business houses.
 Manager Mel Holben of the Grill sprung a surprise in the meeting to- day by serving a chicken dinner to the members. Practically every seat in the hall was filled, the attend ance being larger than for some time. The meetings are increasing in attendance and much interest is man. ifested.
