Gross and Mr.. Howard are not IN
need. 1t may not be to their interests
for the workers to have party Of
their own. But the workers, those
who have minds with which to think,
will want Labor Party, and they
will make it known at the conven-

Valentines Hunch

The following communication has been received by the Empire from E. Valentine, one of Ju- neau's earliest residents, who has been following with interest the animated discussion here of the 'ength of time the old ship has lain on the beach near Salmon Creek Point:
 Regarding to picturesque old schooner hulk, lying near Salmon Creek. will give you the follow ing history:

Aggasiz, He fitted it out to run to Cook Inlet and made his first voyage. with passengers, during the year of 1S95.- Upon arrival at Cook Inlet she ran aground and after the tide had receded it was found that she was perched on top of cliff, she then proceeded to roll over. and fell on the rocks forty feet below; some of the ribs were cracked but she was still sea worthy and shortly thereafter she sailed for Juneau, finally landing here with some forty passengers, all flat broke, as they had been caught in the Cook Inlet rush and found nothing there.
 Upon arrival here at Juneau the captain immediately ibeled her for his salary and in spite of the fact that he had signed to make the voyage for one dollar and fifty percent of the accruing profits, he secured judgment for he amount which he claimed. "Mr. Abbasiz had no money to pay the judgment and he gave me l bill of sale for the vessel and made arrangements with me to bid her in when she was sold by he U. s. Marshal. He then de- parted for the south and L never heard of him again. The vessel

SCHOONER HULL
 SECRET SOLVED
Customs House and Files of Former Juneau Paper
 Unravel Mystery

The history of the hull of the boat on the beach near Salmo. Creek Point has been settled iu the satisfaction of the two parties who recently started the areu ment as to the length of time the hull had been at it's present b. cation and it's name.
 Registration figures carved into timbers of the schooner corfe spond with those in the Customs House for the Standard Fish Company No. 2.' and this settled the identity of the boat, the two interested parties agreed
 Finding conclusive proof as la the duration of the schoonera residence on the beach was not so easy, but the following in formation was gained from the Territorial Library through Rev A. P. Kashavaroff. The Alaska Dispatch of July 23. 1916. said:
 Capt. Charles Sinclair and Frank Harris. two well known old timers yesterday reached port on the gas boat Pilot with the twl mastel schooner Standard" in tow. The schooner had been abandoned in Canoe Pass for sey. eral months. 1t is the intention of the new owners to remodel the hull and place her in service T
 This story was confirmed by MT. Harris, of the Harris Hard ware Company here. Although this news item does not set . definite date on which the schooner was placed on the beach 1t eliminates the possibility oi the boat being placed there il 1915, the latest date set by one ol the two parties laying the wagers

 Shortly after I became owner l sent her to Cook Inlet with q load of provisions for the Polly Mining Company. which was op- erating up there. George Carpen- ter. of the Alaska News, published at Juneau, was supercargo on this voyage and was very enthusiastic over the country and wrote and published much about 1t and was the main cause of the disastrous stampede which took place so that disappointing country called Cook Inlet. George was later frozen to death at Nome
 After this voyage the vessel laid at her moorings until the Skagway boom commented l then put her to. carrying lumber from juneau to Skagway but af- ter the third voyage she ran on the rocks off Marmion Island. I finally got, her off and she was then brought to Juneau and was beached just north of the old Carroll dock.
 "The sails were stored in the old warehouse and the rats made short work of them, cutting them up for bedding. A inai wanted the hauser pipes and took an axe and chopped them out; another man wanted the winch and anchor and took them without leave; an other wanted the masts and pro. .ceeded to take them. George Francis wanted the steel ropes used for mast stays and took them and spliced them together and did a tight.rope performance osl one Fourth of July, running his rope from the electric light build ing over to the bank building.
 There was nothing much left of the schooner Prospect but she still lay on the beach until some good citizens got the high minded notion that was leaving her there in order to hold the ground, so at an extreme high tide she was showed off and cast adrift. Haf si;Ft's
 "She drifted around the Chan mel for some months and finally landed where she now lies. This must have been during the year 1902 or 1903. lp

most screen comedians, in fac. would lead one to believe they began their studies in slapstick while still in the cradle.
 Compare the careers of these professional fun-makers with the Cinderella experiences of some of the romantic heroines of the screen who have leaped in a few months from high school to high salaried roles in big pictures.
 Charlie Chaplin was a child when he won his first burst of applause in an English music hall. but he was veteran actor by the time he reached celluloid Raymond Griffith was carried on- to the stage at 15 months and played Little Lord Fauntleroy at years. Harry Langdon started as an errand boy in theatre and became in turn usher, stage hand and actor. Karl Dane was on the stage as child. Buster Keaton was acting before he was old enough to go to kindergarten Jimmy Adams was a child so- prano on the stage. Harold Lloyd was page boy in Hamlet" be. fore he was 10 and played in stock as youth years before the camera got him.
 w. c. Fields ran away from home at the age of II to become a juggler, and at 15 beer garden in Atlantic City was paying him $5 week for his act. For 25 years he amused vaudeville and musical comedy audiences before entering the movies. At the ripe age of ten Charlie Murray was wearing grease paint on the stage. Bobby Vernon began acting in musical comedy before he was out of short pants. and Ford Sterling got such an early start he learn- ed all about circus clowning, mu sical comedy and vaudeville. spot to mention Mississippi boat shows and ordinary travelling repertoire companies, before he was ready for the movies.
 At the age of eight Neal Burns was playing in stock in Philadel- phia, and when Billy Dooley was that old he was making summer tours with circuses as a trick cy clist. Larry Semon kept off the stage until he was four years old, at least he was not billed as one of the players in his father's show until then. Raymond Nc Kee began his acting career al the age of three.
 Some comedians were not sc nasty about beginning the long grind that made screen comics Of them Wallace Beery, for in stance, was all of sixteen when he ran away from home to join circus, and he was old enough tc shave by the time he went into musical comedy. Chester Conk lin even studied little law be fore becoming an actor and later circus clown.
 But practically without excep tion all the comedians in pic lures seem to have fought theii way up through an off-screen pc riod of training before they even found minor comic roles on the screen. In other words, one has some chance of becoming TO mantle screen hero overnight, but to be funny in films one must really know how.

Down on the Gulf coast there
is an institution called 1.-THE
School of Organic Education.
1t is rather widely known and
there have been numbers Of ar.
ticles published about that school.
The information that filters
through to the public is that the
children are allowed TO do as
they pIease-and yet they advance
faster than the majority of pupils.
If they wish to go swimming in
the bay at . o'clock, instead OF
working arithmitic examples-all
right If they prefer to study
reading the whole afternoon and
omit the spelling lesson alto
gether, all right. If they decide
to hunt bird eggs instead of
parsing sentences, all right.
On the face of things, it does
appear that the school is operated
along those easy lines. But /
spent a day at that famous insti-
tuition and ] discovered the rea-
son for the progress of these self
controlled children. Every teacher
in the school. including the pri1-
cipal, Mrs. Marietta Johnston. is
person of dignity, of force and
attractive personality. they will
for the children TO do the right
thing. They suggest the advts-

"And ] don't want any back

How much better it would ne

1t doesn't matter so much what

it doesn't matter so much about
the order in which tasks are per-
formed 1t IS the thoroughness,
the efficiency. the rightness of
forming them that counts.
Only few parents have great
strength of character and will
power. But each one has some
gift of heart. mind or personality
that can be used in getting re-
suits at home.
When you are not sure lust

strength in silence. A calm.
pleasant attitude is check upon
a turbulent spirit.
