HUNT BROWN BEAR FROM
 HORSEBACK

There is nothing new under the sun, according to learned scientists, yet, an Fastener, N. E. Boomhower, a New York carpet manufacturer, who has been big game hunting in this and the Interior districts for the past two months, hunted the fla nous Alaskan big brown bear from horseback and if that isn't some thing new in the annals of big game hunting in Alaska, local hunters have yet to hear of similar case.
 For forty days and forty nights a deluge fell over the land in the Hi anna district, a little west of Sew ard, and only once, then for a brief period of twenty minutes, did MT. Boomhower and Wm. Kaiser, guide, glimpse the sun. Even as they gazed upon the fiery sphere, it disappear ed, never more to return to warm with it's penetrating rays the water, soaked hunters proving about the wilds.
 But inland from Kamishak Bay about six miles, they came upon a brownie sleeping in the tall grass This was the signal for MT. Boom hover to dismount and prepare for the kill. Guide Kaiser whistled a plaintiff melody arousing the huge bruin from his slumber and as he raised his head and got his two front paws under him, prior to heav ing his bulk erect, MT. Boomhower standing at a distance of sixty yards fired one shot from his Whalen 35 rifle, the bullet entering the bears chest, evidently striking a vital spot for with no effort to lunge upwards

 MANY STUDENTS
 LEFT FOR STATES
COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION HENDERSON DEGREES CHILL
 DRENS' DEPARTURE.
SEWARD NEEDS NEW SCHOOL
 ACCORDING TO HENDERSON
No Town or City Can Progress Any
 Faster Than It's School System

'It is regretable that so many of the Seward parents have felt it has been necessary to send their child ren Outside for schooling" stated Lester D. Henderson, commissioner of education, Territorial public schools, who is paying his annual visit to Seward "There is no req son why Seward cannot provide am pie school facilities for all who live here. It is the only way to build up Alaska Keep Alaskans in Alas ka.
 'The present high school is only a makeshift, but is reasonably ade- quate for the number of pupils now enrolled. If all of the children had remained in Seward, it is safe to say, under the present conditions, they couldn't have been taken care of properly. The next step for Sew ard citizens is to erect schoolhouse large enough to take care of the present and next few years growth.
 'It is a conservative statement, when I say that if Seward had erect ed a new schoolhouse, five years ago, when the need of one first became apparent, there would probably have been a 100 per cent increase in the high school enrolment at the pres ent time, and from twenty-five to thirty percent increase in the elemen- tary school. AS comparison, 1t might be of interest to note the pro- gress of the Petersburg school in Southeastern Alaska. For a mum. Der of years, Petersburg had a high school enrolment of from four to seven pupils. A new schOolhouse was erected and last year sixteen pupils attended. This year the en- rollment has almost doubled, there being approximately thirty pupils now enrolled This increase is at tributed entirely to the fact that the graduates of the eighth grade in Pc tersburg, attended the high school instead of going to the States, as had been done in previous years.

hills near Richmond and was wound pating in the Port Hudson assault he served in the expedition of Sabine Pass and received a sabre cut on his wrist in hand-to-hand fight with Texas cavalryman at Fayetteville. , When Duryea's regiment became re- duced in numbers, the then Major An gus went to New York and enlisted four new companies. Returning to service he was made lieutenant col onel, served in the Nineteenth Corps whn General Sheridan checked Early's raids in 1864 and he was a personal witness of Sheridan's ride.
 When at the age of 25 he received his bervet as Brigadier he was the youngest of his rank in the army. Later he was detailed as inspector general of the Department of South and commissioned to dismantle Con-
 
 and Florida. After he was wounded at Gaines Mills General Angus was taken to Baltimore to the Home of Charles c. Fulton, owner and publish CT of the Baltimore American, where he was cared for by Mir. Fulton's s daughter, Miss Annie E. Fulton, who became General Angus wife when the war was ended.
 With the coming of peace, General Angus joined the staff of The Ameri- can and gradually was given respon- sibility and authority until 1883 when at the death of MT. Fulton, he became publisher. In that position he exer- cised powerful influence in advancing the interests of the city of Baltimore and in the promotion of many public enterprises.
 He was one of the original members of the Associated Press.
 MT. Angus was delegate to several republican national conventions, a member of the Grand Army, of the Loyal Legion, one of the charter mem bers of the Army and Navy Club of Washington and was a Knight Com mander of the French Colonial Or der of Nichan-el-Anour, one of the di. visions of the Legion of Honor Gen. eral Angus had two daughters, Mrs. Oscar Leser, wife of Judge Leser of Maryland, and Miss Elsie Angus.

solved! It is my view that under ordinary circumstances no town will progress any more rapidly than it's school system; that an adequate schoolhouse and equipment pays the highest return to any town or city"
 MT. Henderson stated the Jesse Lee Home school would officially open next Monday, and that three teach CTS will compose the faculty Mrs. R. V. B. Dunlap will serve as p cipal and teacher of the upper grades; Mrs. A. E. Fucker, the intermediate grades, and Miss Blanche Dyer, who arrived in Seward yestreday from Seattle, will teach the first grade, Miss Dyer formerly taught school in Juneau, but has been teaching in the States for several years past. The enrolment at the Home will total about 85 pupils. The school rooms this year, and probably next years, will be located in the Mission buildings. However, with respect to next year, the matter of school building remains to be seen, as to just what developments will take place at the coming Territorial Leg islature, next March.
 A similar case arose at Kenai. where a special Territorial appropri- ation of $1O,OO0 was made for the construction of a schoolhouse. In connection with the Kenai building bids were called for by MT. Tender son but as yet, no response has been received from contractors. It is stat ed if no response is received short ly the funds made available for the construction of the Kenai school, will revert back to the Territory. Two bids must be received from in- dividual parties or firms. Plans for the building are already prepared. Mr. Henderson estimates the cost of school for the Jesse Lee Home at approximately the same amount as the Kenai school, $10,000.
 In closing, Mr. Henderson, who leaves Seward this evening for Cor dova, thence back to Valdez, and lat CT, next Saturday South to his Ju- neau headquarters, said that here in Seward, an exceptionally fine corps of teachers compose the faculty.
