 FOR SOUTHEAST ALASKA
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer) )


 Definite information that the United States bureau of education will construct its fourth industrial school for natives in Alaska, with Ia location in the Southeastern Pan handle, was brought to Seattle yes terday by Dr. Jonathan H. Wagner, chief of the Alaska division of the bureau. The appropriation for the initial units will be approximately $2O0,0O0.

BOND ELECTION

The question of bonding the town for the purpose of obtaining funds TOT the construction of a new schoo. Aouse will be voted on again next tuesday.
 on March ' Mrs. James H. N heeler and Dr. O. H. Whaley of the Wrangell school board appeared before the town council to again urge the need of a new school building. Mrs. Wheeler, president 5I tIIe board, reported that at the last meeting of the board which was held before the departure of Hon. r. c. Mccormack, secretary of the board, the board went on record unanimously as favoring a new school building.
 Mrs. Wheeler and Dr. Whaley pointed out to the council that in view of the prevailing conditions it Is imperative that something be done, but that to undertake to re- pair the present buildings would be d most expensive procedure and in the long run would prove most ex- travagant. It was also pointed out tnat under the present system the fuel bills are enormous on account of It being necessary to maintain several individual heating arrange l.nents.
 After the school board departed from the hall the council entered into a discussion of the school situ- ation. The proposition of building d new school by the bonding meth 1d was discussed and various mem bers of the council expressed the belief that the towns financial record for the past two years is such as to give assurance that the town is now in a position where it could be bonded without making it necessary to increase the taxes.
 Finally motion was made that ,n pursuance of the provisions of an act of Congress known as H. R. 1O,901, 69th Congress, the ques- tion of bonding the town of Wran- gell in a sum not exceeding $50,- JO0 for the purpose of constructing and equipping public school building be submitted to the tax payers at a special election to be held on Tuesday, April 16, 1929. The motion carried unanimously,

NEWS FROM ALL OVER
 THE WORLD

NEW YORK-An attempt to kill Governor Franklin Roosevelt at AL bany with a bomb was frustrated when Post Office porter kicked the parcels post package that had dropped to the floor of the main Post Office here. Scarcely had his foot come in contact with the par oei when there was sizzling sound and a puff of acrid smoke issued from the bundle. He shouted to wetnty or more clerks in the room to run but he, himself, did not run. Instead he delivered another we'll aimed kick which apparently ex- tinguished the blaze inside the in Iernal machine and severed the fuse from the percussion cap attached to a six-inch stick of dynamite. Had his kick failed he might we'll have been killed by the explosion.
 ihe boinb was intricate and well made and the affair plainly showed that it was the work of practiced hand. It was contained in a tin candy box, carefully wrapped in L.own paper. The device itself was neatly wedged between wax that weighted the box and made it appear that the contents were inno- cent bon bons. Police are puzzled by the incident. The package had a return address but a checkup re- yealed no such person as was named on the wrapper. Governor Roose- welt has taken no decided stand against any group of radicals and the only conclusion that remained was that a criminal had mailed the deadly gift.

WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE

WHAI HAPRENEO bEEOKE
The Sheridan Dramatic Club, of which
Tom Bilbeck, the narrator, Maryella, the
girl he cares for, and Jim Cooper, his
rival, are members, start performance of
Pygrnalion and Galatea at the Old Sol
During the rehearsals Tom Bilbeck is ac-
cused by the husband of one of the actors,
Mr.. Hemingway, of being in love with his
wife.
Riding away from the scene of the ill
fated play in their costumes and overcoats,
the group of players is held up by two
escaped convicts, one of whom is captured
by Bilbeck after struggle.
The captured thief is tied to a chair at
the Old Soldiers Home. Unable to leave
the home as the car refuses to bulge, the
way, hearing this over the phone, says he is
coming right to the home-as he is suspicious
of his wife and Bilbeck. Meanwhile the
Sheriff arrives.
Hemingway arrives Just when Bilbeck
is assisting Mrs. Hemingway, who has
tainted, and of course thinks the worst.
Meanwhile a disturbance is heard in the
cellar, and all in the house rush down
to it,
The Sheriff's horse has broken loose.
Meanwhile Hemingway suspects Bilbeck
more and more, and Jim Cooper mixes IN
to tell Bilbeck he has arranged that the
is to marry Mrs. Hemingway.
To get back home, Hemingway must
travel by foot, and Bilbeck offers to go
with him. In violent disagreement, they
nevertheless start out together on snowshoes
ana skis and soon Bilbeck tumbles over
Hemingway the going being difficult.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.

We tried the same trick again and
again, and always with the same result.
One or the other of us would slip and
it would involve the entire party in
disaster. 2
After we had done that for quite
a while we desisted We didn't
have any more wind left, anyway.
AS we sat there painting l tried
to rack my brain as to where had
been in similar situation At last /
remembered It. 1t was in a summer
amusement park years ago. There
had been depression in the floor
of one of the concessions called
the Soup Bowl" out of which it
was very difficult to extricate your
self after you had once got in.
There was a trick about 1.-THE
trick was the only way you could
ever get out :
racked my brains to remember
that trick. At last | did.
Keep little bit to one SIDE" I
told Hemingway, and wondering
but docile, he obeyed.
l ran up the side of the howl as
far as | could and then turretI and
ran straight down again and up on
the other side. | repeated this pre-
cess several times, the impetus car

we had put on our skis and snow
shoes we started off once more.
eve were there so long," I said,
that we have probably missed the
train"
II suppose So" Hemmingway as
sented gloomily. "But there will be
another train some time, l guess,
and if we hurry we may be there
before it goes"
SO we pushed on. We had been
travelling in the woods, so we were
little doubtful about Our direc-
tions, but as soon as we emerged
we found the sun again and headed
in that general direction, bearing
little to the left as before.
was getting hungry, but Hem
mingway vetoed the idea of stop
ping at farmhouse for lunch be-
cause, as he suggested, we could
probably get better meal in town.
He thought we must be almost
there, as we had been travelling
quite while before we found the
soup-bowl. and it, was only about
eight miles all told.
So we pushed on.
At the top of every hill we expec-
ted to get our first glimpse of Fair
Oaks, but every time we were dis
appointed. 1t seemed incredible
that we had not come eight miles.
We had been walking for hours and
were all worn out.
Still we were headed in the right
direction, due east, toward the sun.
1t was only when the sun set
that we realized our blunder. While
we had been in the soup-bowl the
sun had passed overhead; and when
we had taken our bearings again
after coming out, we must have
headed southwest when we went
toward the sun and little left. 1t
was absurdly simple when we came
to think about it, but l doubt if
any one not trained in woodcraft
would have done differently than
we.
We had been going ever since
noon in exactly the opposite direc-
ton; and by this time we're three
or four hours travelling from Fair
Oaks!
