fact they seem to grow stead- ily worse as time goes on, to the detriment of the territory and the discredit of it's people. It is high time that something be done to relieve so. deplor- able situation or we are li- able to soon witness the day when the federal government will become so disgusted with the recurrent avalanches of slander over Alaskan appoint ments that Alaskans will be no longer considered as candi- dates for the major federal offices.
 The fact that two presidents have nowsopenly deplored the inability of Alaskans to agree on local candidates and threat ened to make appointments outside of the Territory, dis closes all to plainly, that Wash ington is growing. tired of list ening to the : reprehensible rowing and scandal mongering over appointments :and may either demand a cessation in the interests of common de- cency to spare official ears and stomachs by selecting outsfd- CTS for office.

SETTLE UP

This is the second day of June. Last months bills are due and payable and you may be sure that the merchant with whom you do business needs the money you owe him to settle his own obligations. Remember that while he is waiting for you and others to come in and square accounts with him, he is not unfre- quently compelled to borrow money at interest to meet his bills. Thus, in effect, he is forced to pay interest on mon ey that you owe him by reason of your failure to pay prompt ly. Don't put it "off for day or two;" go in and pay him today.
 Obligations of this kind should never be overlooked and should be discharged as speedily as possible. When the merchant carries you on his books he is doing you a favor and you should be willing to do him the return favor of clearing your account prompt ly when it is due. If every one met their bills on time there

RETURN OF CARPET
 BAc RULE THREATENS

The announced intention of
 esident Coolidge to go out
 i'e Of the Territory to fill Alaska appointments, in the event that Congress rejects the present nominations, is a
 fitting rebuke to those self
 seeking elements in our body nolitic who every four years cast the stigma of shame upon Alaska by conducting a loud- voiced campaign of villifica- ton and defamation directed
 against the nominees for fed eral offices. On practically ev- cry occasion since the govern ment adopted the policy of appointing Alaskans to the major offices, the selection has been attended by as nause- ating a display of contumaci- ous muck raking and slander- ous mud singing, as ever dis graced a decent people. It mat ters not who the nominees may be, the result is the same. The announcement of their select ion is the signal for scurrilous attacks by opposing political factions, who all too frequent ly descend to the utterTnost depths of depravity in their eff forts to besmirch and discredit.
 Fortunately for those who are made the victims of these ini- quitous attacks, time and in- vestigation usually discloses that the charges made are either dastardly misrepresent- ations of fact or bare faced falsehoods impossible of utter ance except by such as. are utterly lost to truth and hon esty. This fact, however, does not undo the damage done to those whose characters are un- warrantedly traduced or re- duce in the least degree the re- currence of such attacks. in

school plant to take the place Of the inadequate and antiquated buildings now in use During the past year a two room emergency building was erected to take care of the overflow until the new plant could be erected. So rapid has been the increase in the towns growth that already the condition is worse than before the building was erect ed.
 The new school site selected by the Council is on rising ground overlooking the city and harbor. At it's front a tract has been pur- chased as a playfield for the chiI- dren. This is the most desirable plot of ground in town. It's acqui- sition was made possible through the generosity of the late Fred Be vier. who bequeathed the money for the purpose The tract is large enough for a standard baseball and footfall field and can be put in shape at very moderate cost, funds for which are also available from the Beyier estate.
 The new school building as de-. signed will be constructed of lum- Der. with the exception of the con- crete basement. and will provide a commodious auditorium and gym nasium, adequate manual training shops, commercial rooms, science la aboratories, domestic science rooms and all other special provisions nee essary for complete high school courses. Tn addition it will provide room for each elementary grade. Plans will call for force ventilation and hot water heat.
