EDUCATION AS IT
 IS IN ISLANDS
Report in Philippines to Be
 Presented

Manila, June S0p R-The report of the commission, headed by pr. Paul Monroe of Columbia uniyer- sity, which made a survey of the educational system of the Philip pine islands, Is now in the hands of Eugene A. Gilmore, ylce-governor and ex-officio secretary Of public instruction, who will submit 1t to the legislature when 1t meets July IS.
 Vice. governor Gilmore said tho survey was not an investigation for the purpose Of effecting a cleanup so that alleged undesirable clements might be weeded out, but that 1t was for the purpose of pointing out the defects which all human insti- tutions have, In order that the proper remedies may be adopted for the improvement of the educa- tional work in tho islands.
 There has been an impression on the part of some that the mem bers of tho commission are after the scalp of somebody" said Vice. governor Gilmore. This is errone- ous. The commission was created that it might look over the whole educational system in the Philip pines, make constructive criticisms. give suggestions, and submit re- concentrations In order that for every peso expended for education a corresponding benefit may be reaped by the people.
 Tn this work the government is spending an insignificant sum com pared with the big appropriation set aside every year for education In the archipelago. In all we are spending s12.OoO.ooO annually. The appropriation for the survey is only i s50,000 and the expenses of the commission were within the appro- priation.

With the coming Of settlers the ountain streams were stemmed and Little Bear lake came into existence.

WILD PONIES ARE
 FED TO THE HOGS
Far West Experiments With
 New Kind of Feed

Olympia, Wash, June 30 P-- The apparent success of an experi- nlent in converting horse flesh into hog feed has given rise to the hope ,smong eastern Washington stock men that a practicable means has ,st last been found to rid Washing ton ranges of thousands of worth Hess wild horses, declares Harold Dobyns, field leader for the biologi- cal survey, who returned recently from a coyote hunting trip in Ben ton county. Cattle men and wool growers have long considered tho horses a menace to the livestock in- dustry, since the animals. described localyl as ''knothead Cayuses." place an added burden on the none too abundant range.
 In recent months, MT. Dobyns said, an enterprising individual has established a slaghterhouse and hog feeding plant at Plymouth, on the southern border of the Horse Heaven country, long famous as It's name implies as a horse range. The horses are purchased at an average price of about s3 a head, which while low, enbles the owners of the long neglected ponies to realize a profit by rounding up their other wise valueless animals, and the sup ply has 50 far kept pace with the demand. .s~-"s
 7 The slaughterhouse is. modern in every respect, Mir. Dobyns said, ,.and none of the carcass is wasted. The flesh is cooked with corn and other cereals for hog feed the hides bring about s2 each. or nearly the cost of the horse. while the bones are disposed of to fertilizer plants at price said to average $15 a ton. The hogs are shipped in, fat tened and then reshipped to the markets. Approximately 60s hegs are fed at time, while there Is al- ways supply of horses awaiting slaughter in the corrals. When the supply of cheap horse flesh is ex- hduotcu db IiylHUulli, the oldu6Hlci house.wi1 be dismantled and moved to other fields, it was pointed out.
 The horses are said to be de. scended partly from old } range bands built up by the 'horse kings in the days when light horses could be raised at a profit, and partly from Indian bands. The stock has run down until very few of the horses are of use even al saddle animals.
 While the hog feeding process promises to rid the range outside the Indian reservations of worth. less ponies, no such relief Is 1T sight for the areas inside the reser' vations. Plymouth was chosen al the site for the erection of thu

CHAMBER LUNCH
 DRAWS CROWD

A capacity crowd attended the chamber luncheon yesterday, the long table having some thirty mem bers and visitors around it when President Hinde called the meeting to order. A number of visitors were present. including Capt. J. H. Eos ter, Frank Case, Al. Blair, Frank Skeen, Dennis Hurley and MT. Ang- ner. These gentlemen are all inter-
 ested in Nuka Bay properties and
 came before the chamber with plea
 for assistance. Capt. Foster, who was spokesman on the subject stated
 that unfortunately the properties were outside the forest reserve, and
 therefore could expect no help from
 that source, but must look for assist ance from the Territory or from the Alaska Road Commission.
 He stated that about mile and a half of road would serve the commu- nifty passing or touching all proper ties yet developed He described the difficulties of freighting supplies up
 the turbulent river, and said that
 when the bay was surveyed to allow
 large vessels to come in close, the road would give an outlet to the beach and also to the mill on the
 properties of the Alaska Hills, which could reduce ore for the entire con-
 munity. Ore assaying $135 per ton
 was being blocked out, and last fall four days mill run on poor rock produced over $2,000 The values increase as depth is attained and al
 tho the lead is small it is immensely
 rich Capt. Foster judged that about l $7,0OO would build. good wagon
 road, and that if this could not be
 secured good trail would help.
 Frank Case believed that the road
 would require about s10,000 to build. The other visitors made brief re-
 marks and were assured by Chair
 man Hinde that everything possible
 would be done to help secure the project.
 The secretary was instructed to write to the head of the coast and
 geodetic survey asking for survey of Nuka Bay.
 Judge E. E. Ritchie in reply to a telegram from the chamber sent the | following letter explaining why the jury term for Seward had been aban- doned:
 Seward Chamber of Commerce, l Seward, Alaska.
 Gentlemen:
 Answering more fully your cable regarding spring terms of court I'll say: There has been no intention of
 having the grand jury at any place this spring unless business should suddenly arise. Grand juries are ex- pensive. Only few cases are pend ing and in the most important cases investigations will have to be made before the district attorney will
