FRED J0NASSEN DR0WNS
 OFF DAHL ISLAND SH0REl

KETCHIKAN-Fre Jonassen o the power troller Virginus lost his life in the icy waters off the Dahl Island shore on the morning of April 2, according to his partner. Lars Martinsen, who was aboard the Virginus with him at the time.
 Martinsen, in his report of the accident to Judge Arnold, says that they were trolling on the morning of the day named and were keep ing pretty close inshore, as the big ones were lying close in along the kelp. Suddenly the Virginus struck on a submerged rock and listed badly.
 Everything slid toward the lee rail, and the skiff, which had not been bashed down, went overheard. Jonassen jumped overheard after the skiff, which was then close alongside. Neither of the two men could swim any too well, and il seemed that the skiff might be essential to get them ashore in case the Virginus oapsized. A puff of wind caught the skiff and drifted it farther away before Jonassen could catch it, and he swan on aften it.
 After a short time he seemed to suddenly lose strength or to be seized by a cramp brought on by the ice-cold water. After brief struggle he threw up his hands and sank, while Martinsen, marooned aboard the Virginus, was unable to go to his aid.
 The Virginus hung precariously on the rock until the following high tide, when she floated off. Martinsen searched for hours for the body of his lost partner, but was unable to find any trace of it. He then started up and ran into town, arriving here this forenoon to make his report to the com missioner.

been able to maintain the standard of living which the character Of their work calls for. We have never given to our American rural com- munities the leadership of a stable well-paid, well-trained teaching pro- fession.
 To reduce teachers salaries now would be to weaken our first and last line of defense and to cripple the very institution-the common school-to which we must look for the training in skill and in char acter to enable us to rise above present conditions. Teachers know this but they do not always make it plain to other citizens of the community.
 This is the time when the schools need to keep close to the homes; when every teacher needs to realize that he must interpret his service in terms of it's human significance and values it he is to save the schools and protect the rights of the children.-Editoria in the Journal of Education for March, 1881.

ALASKA NEEDS CONSIDERATION

William Wrigley, Jr., has inaug- urated a plan which started into ops eration April 1st, whereby he will exchange his chewing gum in the Southern States for cotton. The plan contemplates the purchase of 100 million pounds of cotton be- tween April 1st and December 1st at an estimated total expenditure of $12,0OO,0O0.
 The project is similar to the Wrig4 ley offer last year to aid grain grow CTS by accepting wheat in payment of obligations to his Canadian cor poration.
 The chewing gum and baseball magnate announced his new concern to be known as Wrigley's Cotton In@ vestment Fund, which will use all money it receives from Wrigley-s hewing gum in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, .Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Ken lucky, Virginia, North and South Carolina to buy cotton.
 From April 1 to December 1, pro vided cotton does not rise above 12 cents pound his company will ac- cept cotton in payment for it's prod- ucts shipped to the South.
 This is a novel scheme, and one that will meet with wide popularity in the South. When Southern folks come to realize that when they buy chewing gum they are helping to create a sale for cotton, it will mean more popularity for gum.
 If the makers of Copenhagen snuff would announce a similar policy in Alaska-that all money received from the sale of "snus' would be used to buy fish-what an impetus our fishing industry would receive!
 Such a concern could be known IS Copenhagen's Fish Investment Fund and would meet with as much popularity as MT. Wrigley's gum chewing scheme in the South. Users of Copenhagen knowing that the more tobacco consumed the mora fish would be bought. would uccon+ seiously put more vim and vigor into each pinch taken and would naturally receive a double enjoy+ ment from their indulgence.
