 Gentlemen: am interested in the Sunday ad- dress made by MT. H. L. Faulkner, speaking to a crowded house at the Elks Hall Juneau, Alaska, Novem- Der 23th, 1924. Appeared in the Alaska Daily Empire November 24th, 1924.
 "ILLITERACY IS CRAVE PROF. LEM" DECLARED LITERACY TEST NEEDED? crowded house Sunday address. "llllteracy constl> tutes a grave problem in Alaska that will require serious consideration in the process of it's solution," declared H. l.. Faulkner.
 He knows, everybody knows, all walks of life knows, all races knows, education is the only solution to this grave problem confront us in Alaska, or so called grave problem. All must support this statement, as an important statement, that will help both, if not all races to lm- prove exercising their opinion, in selecting good men, and make laws that governs Alaska, and not allow ing few people runs it, as 1t run today.

 Will not agree with you, or any one, or both from illiterate and lit erati to compare Alaska Native In dians, as forth grade school chil- dren, or in the issue of The Empire Jan. 9th, 1925. "It took generation and absorption of most of the h. dian blood to make the Indians of Oklahoma qualified for the class of self-government they have shown"
 Nature and surroundings taught us, and teaches, in every 800 or 1000 miles using different custom, lan- guage, and different stock.
 The making of the Oklahoma In dians qualified for the class of self government they have shown, edu- cation and good financial standing, and are given their full rights, whites goes there paid the Oklahoma h. dians every inch of their land. Okla homa and Alaska are two different Territory altho under the country. As above since the time of Captain Cook and others, Alaska Native h. dians have been breaking the recoru of North American Indians, of been friendly, unless misunderstanding, or

PREYED UPON
CHICKEN BOOSTS
HaMkinstown Man Alleged to Have
Illegally Acquired Poultry

Elmer Sherman of Hawkinstown,
thus far in life has had a varied ca
reer of criminality, although thus far
nothing spectacular has occurred in
his law violations.
On three different occasions he has
been the Sheriff's guest and on each
occasion his stay in the bastile was
caused by a different crime First
as violator of the prohibition laws,
then for the larceny of automobile
tires in Warren County. and now it
is chickens.
Saturday hurried call from Haw-
kinstown was answered by Sheriff B.
NJ Borden, with j. d. Harpine as
special deputy. 1t was found that
Mrs. Kagey's henroost had been de-
nuded during the night and that Will
Estep had lost fifty hens through the
alleged poultry purloiner. Some of
the chickens were found at Rosen-
berger's store at Bowman's where
they had been sold, 1t is stated, by
Sherman. The Identification of the
hens led to Sherman's arrest, and he
is now on bail waiting for the action
of the grand jury.

BARN FIRES
ARE EPIDEMIC
another Big Blaze In Rockingham
Five Horses DESTROYED

Five fine workhorses and four hogs
were burned to death and damage
estimated at more than 5000 was
done late Monday afternoon when
nre. started by bolt of lightning
during the severe electric and wind
storm. destroyed the big hank harm
on the BURNER Mill farm of DR. G.
H. Rolston. Mount Clinton physician
and one of Rockingham County's
most prominent citizens. The loss is
partly covered by insurance.
Included in the contents of the big
barn were $50 bushels of wheat. more
than 20 tons of hay, quite few i'm
PIGMENTS and other farming equip
ment.
While the loss is heavy one. Dr.
Roiston and his son, John Rolston.
who resides on the farm, are very
thankful that the brisk wind was
blowing away from the other struc-
lures. This fact alone saved the
farm house. another large barn. two
silos. poultry houses and various
barnyard structures. All of these
buildings are either adjoining or are
nearby the barn destroyed.
There was no one at home AT tho
time of the fire. the Ralston family
being in Harrisonburg. A farm hand
had placed the horses in the barn
,nly a short while before the flames
started. After the severe bolt of
lightning. the hand CHANGED to look
'ut OF the window of his room and
Jaw the big barn ablaze.
The man rushed to the barnyard
'ut was unable to save the livestock
because the flames covered the en-
rance to the stables. He said the
horses made no noise, leading to the
belief that they were either killed or
by the bolt.
