FACTS ABOUT FIRE

During 1881 ire destroyed ap- proximately 10000 lives.
 Nearly one-third of these were children under 10 years of age.
 Two-thirds of the total were burned to death in homes.
 The total economic loss was $464. 4.633, ,265.OO.
 In order to visualize these facts, compare them with the following:
 The annual fire bill is about equal to 75 per cent of the interest on our National debt.
 The new excise and miscellaneous taxes recently imposed on us will produce, in a year, very little more than the annual fire bill.
 Over so per cent of all fires are easily preventable.
 Fire is the great destroyer-not

CHILDREN FIRST

The Territorial Department of Ed ucation has outlined an expansion program for the schools which will ultimately provide every school with an adequate school building. Ter ritorial funds have not permitted the erection of new buildings during the past year. This interruption has been only temporary, however, and it is expected that the work will be continued at an early date.
 The public school system of the Territory needs further expansion and improvement, before new in stitutions of higher learning are established. w. K. Keller, Com missioner of Education, believes that the children of the Territory should come first in the education program, and that junior colleges should not be established until the common schools are adequately cared for. He believes that no program which will weaken the standing or work of the Alaska College should be undertaken.
 system of junior colleges in AL aska will result in diverting funds needed to conduct and improve our school system. Junior colleges are expensive institutions.

 The conquest of fire is simply the conquest of public ignorance, lax ness and indifference. Each of us owes the community a duty - to eliminate the hazards on our prop erty. We cannot afford the Tux ury" of fire.

THE ROTARY LAW

The so-called Rotary ballot law is at least a generation old and the original intent and working of the law has been good It was found that the careless and indifferent voter voted largely the first column on the ticket, an advantage enough in fact to change the result in a close contest as that between Wick ersham and Grigsby two years ago. This being known to politicians led to iockeying for this position even to downright bribery. The law cured this evil and put parties on an even footing. Law to be right must be drawn so as to be fool and rascal

When finally he had gathered his materials

reveals might not be hidden forever.
IT seems bit ironical TO note that the real
] name of the artist IS not known Shan"
the name given him, is really his tribal name.
He signed none of his paintings. He did not
know that was customary. The little missionary
to whom he gave his treasure is sorry that she
did not get his name.
Various haphazard explanations have been
offered as to why this unframed native was able
to turn out these pictures. One, frankly spiritu-
alistic, is that some great artist worked through
him as a medium Another. along the same
line. Is that he himself in another life" had
been an artist.
third Is that at some ancient time pictures
were known to and made by his ancestors and
his ability to make them finely IS a miracle
of racial inheritance.
The fourth explanation is that being jungle
man he lived of its bounty and in terror Of Il.
the savage mother. ever ready to devour her
own. This made it that his well-being and
his very life depended on his powers Of obser-
vation, his ability to find his food. and to see
his enemies first And in this ability to observe
keenly and closely lay the secret of his success
in being able to put nkenesses on paper.
His idea of picturing the trbesmen when
Mrs. Hendershot served in the hospital might
have come from his desire to give her something
to remember them by. He suggested much
