Captain Johansen knows the needs of the coast to the westward better than most mariners, and besides ad- vocating an increase in the number of beacons and lights, believes that better communications would be open ed with all sections if the local sta- tion were made more powerful.
 New membership cards were issued today.

Citizens May Vote On
 Bonds for Schoolhouse

At the city council last night the most important order of business was discussion as to the proper proce. dure to secure a new school building for Seward Professor Guy Barnett. superintendent of the Seward schools, was present and spoke at length on the needs for larger building and grounds, which was listened to with interest by the members. MT. Bar nett said the present building was overcrowded, was dark and gloomy, and that the childrens health and eyesight would inevitably suffer as a result. He believed that new build ing should be erected in a part of the town not directly under the bluff, and where the morning and evening sun could have access to the building.
 It was resolved by the council to call special election in the near fu- ture to vote on a $100,OOO bond issue to be used for new school building. Ten days notice will be given before the election is called, and if the re- quired vote is secured Delegate Suth- erland will be asked to introduce a bill allowing the town to float bonds.
 The delinquent tax list was ordered printed.
 The town clerk was ordered to issue tax deeds to the city for the property taken over under the last tax sale.

LIVENCOOD HOTEL HAS FIERCE BLAZE AND
 BURNS TO GROUND

One of the iercest fires that has ever occurred in the Livengood dis trict happened on the morning of the 24th, when the Livengood Hotel, wooden structure, owned and op- erated by Mrs. A. l.. Dickenson, went up in flames and burned to the ground within an hour. All efforts to recover furniture and personal be- longings proved futile as the ravag- ing flames swept from one end of the building to the other.
 Guests stopping at the hotel at the time were all asleep, as the fire broke out in the early morning. Liv- engood being but a small camp, is one of those unfortunate places where the fire demon has the advant- age in that no fire department is being maintained by it. The loss of the hotel is estimated at about ST. 900.
 Mrs. Dickenson, the proprietor of the hostelry is a well-known business women of Interor and a sourdough of the Fairbanks region, having own. ed divers establishments for years throughout the Tolavana district and was at one time in business in Nena- na when the latter town boasted of xlnts L along the Alaskan coast. When Nena- na was doomed and took the count, after construction days of the Alas ka Railroad, Mrs. Dickenson was one of the business women to seek better pay. She started a roadhouse at Log Jam, on the Tolavana river and later moved to Livengood where she received her recent loss. It is Mrs

BORAH SCORES BRITISH POLICY
 RUM RUNNING

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-The Commit tee of One Thousand for Law Enforce ment received letter last night from Senator Borah comparing the activi- ties of British cooperation with the American bootleggers with the Zino- viev letter preceding the downfall of the Mcdonald ministry. He said:
 The Eighteenth amendment noti- fled the world that the United States would undertake the stupendOus task of ending the liquor traffic. We are entitled all governments respect this policy and compel their people to re- spect it."
 He cited Chamberlain's declaration to Russia: You can either control your national in it's effort to SOW dis cord among other peoples, or you can- not" We say to Britain, You have a government or you have not You can control your nationals in their effort to break our policy and plant murder and misery among other peo- ples or you cannot"
 If it is against international law to run guns, or spread discord and se- dition among nations, it should also be against international law for na- tion's subject to conspire to violate the laws of another country declared Mr. Borah.

The Macmillan Party.

Weather conditions in the North
Pole region are not as satisfactory
as Arctic explorers would have them,
and indications point to a hard Win
ter. Winter at the North Pole and in
its neighborhood is never what might
be called a mild and gentle season,
and it is reasonable to believe that
if that part of the world ever be-
comes popular with tourists, it will
be because of its advantages as a
Summer resort, and not because of
its facilities for snowballing and
other Winter sports.
Reports from the Macmillan ex-
ploring party tell of rough weather
for August. Unless the expedition
can become established at an advance
base at Cape Thomas Hubbard on
Axel Helberg Island by September
2, it probably will be blocked by the
advance of Winter There is talk of
a possibility that the expedition may
give up its effort to reach the Pole
in 1895 and examine the unknown
area Of land believed to exist in that

lish shore she gave up the struggle
and was taken from the wafer, ex-
hausted.
Men have made the swim across the
channel, but never a woman. Some
day, doubtless, woman will reach
the goal. 1t is a hard swim, one to
tax the endurance and the skill of the
stoutest and most competent. There
are swift and tickle currents that
must be breasted. The water flowing
out of the North Sea through the
channel Is cold, even in Midsummer.
Owing to the peculiarities of the tidal
flow and the length of time required
for the passage, the swimmer must
make a circumffex course, greatly
increasing the distance from shore to
shore.
To Gertrude Ederle, though she
failed, the cheers of her fellow Ameri-
cans go forth. to praise her for her
remarkable effort and the nearness
with which she went to victory. Per-
haps she is justified in her confidence
that she will succeed on her next at
tempt. The honor of being the first
woman in the world to swim this most
difficult stretch of water is worth
striving for and all Americans hope
that it will fall to one who wears the
Stars and Stripes on her cap.

Dayton Rejects Scopes.

Dayton, Tenn, is ungrateful. After
all John T. Scopes has done for it to
make 1t known to the world. Dayton
has turned him down. His attorney
at the recent trial announced the
other day that Scopes was an ap-
plicant for reappointment as teacher
of science and foot ball coach in the
Dayton High School. denying that
he had accepted another position or
was planning a lecture tour. So 1t
was up to the school board of Rhea
County to rename or to dtsplace the
protagonist of the evolution issue,
and the board decided against him
and named a Nashville newspaper
reporter and former teacher at Day
ton to the vacancy, after subJecting
him to a rigid examination on funda-
mentalism. 1t would have been the
merest courtesy to the man who has
put Dayton on the map TO continue
him as a teacher. He would doubt
less have observed the law as the
court has recently interpreted it and
eschewed evolutionary teachings. In
deed the reappointment of Scopes
would have been calculated to remove
him from the field of controversy.
His rejection. however. makes him a
free agent for continuing the fight
for a different Interpretation Of the
law and for a final judgment by the
Supreme Court upon its constitu-
tionality.
