Phippsburg, July 21-Fire which
broke out in a pile of lumber re-
Gently sawed by the A. ID. Page
mills on Reeds Point in the Par
ker Head district, threatened the
destruction of three million feet of
piled lumber tonight. The village is
so filled with smoke that it resem-
bles a dense fog and traffic on the
highway is hindered.
Assistance was asked of the Bath
Fire department and Chief Charles
Parks sent down combination
pumper with many hundred feet of
hose but the fire is such a distance
from the travelled road that this
piece of apparatus was of very lit
tie use. Hundreds of people in the
surrounding towns, aided by scores
of summer visitors, were combating
the flames tonight.

HENDERSON, THE PET
 PROPERLY CARED FOR

On May 4, 1925, in the office of Governor Bone, a most astounding occurrence was recorded. Lester D. Henderson, the shrinking violet who has the honor to be Commissioner of Education, resigned his office. What a terrible calamity to befall the Territory.
 But the Governor, fianked by Sen ators Dimond and Aver, rose to the momentous occasion and saved the fair name of Alaska. Lester had only been reelected on March 3 last, at a salary of $4,0OO per annum, for a two year term, and he agreed that his resignation should not take effect until after office hours on June 3O, 1925.
 Because of this exceeding magnan- imity of the Territorial Board of Education, consisting of Scott, Tony and Fred, passed various Whereasas, concluding with the folloWing:
 BE TT, THEREFORE RESOLVED, that in conformity with the pro- visions of said Chapter 30, Session Laws of Alaska, 1925, said Lester D. Henderson, of Juneau, Alaska, be and hereby is, elected Commits sioner of Education for the Territory of Alaska, for the two year term to commence on July 1, 1925, and that his salary for said term be, and the same hereby is, fixed at the sum of $5,00O per year.
 Lester was said to have been al most overwhelmed with this eXpres- sion of confidence and generosity up- on the part of his good political cronies. And after they had tear fully plead with him he decided that he would not efface himself from the politics of the Territory, and deny the Teachers Institute and the various Parent-Teachers organiza- tions of his wise suggestions and learned opinions on various political measures and who should represent the teachers and incidentally the vot- CTS, in the halls of Legislation.
 Good old Lester.
 And he further proved his patrio- t;sm by deciding to accept the raise of $1,OOO per year that the Legisla- ture was willing that an efficient and high class educator should re- ceive.
 And the Organ and the Demo- Rep. political junkers are again jubi- lant. For are they not to have Les ter's wisdom to draw from for the next two years, in regulating the political matters of the Territory.
