ROAD IS
 BUILT IN RENAL DISTRICT

Not satisfied with having picked and shoveled out nearly all the humps in the Kenai river road, Charley Lean, road foreman for the Bureau of Public Roads, has finish ed the work by topping the road off with a gold plate, says a recent Seward Gateway.
 During the past summer the road crew has consisted only of Mir. Lean. He has devoted his time to digging out the hump and removing bumps and grayeling surface.
 His gravel pits are located at points where a shovel thrust into the ground produces fine colors. Thus one of the sights to be shown the chekachos is a gold plated road. which is going some in these times of depression.

IMPROVEMENTS

Anyone passing the school last Saturday morning might have be- held two high school students busily at work Git is possiblei) They were building a road with implements usually associated with the manly art of ditch digging. They were building what they believe to be a vast improvement to the school grounds-they know you don't, but don't shatter their youthful dream. All this fall, those using this path, which connects with the road be- hind the school, have jumped over one puddle after another, usually landing in the middle of each one. These two girls, who use the path daily, decided to make the trail. They were very proud of their stone steps until some mysterious villain of villains broke them. However, the mere mention of MT. Rasmussen's name worked wonders and the structure has remained for five days so far.

CLUB FORMED

The grade school has formed a club which meets weekly. They have elected a president and secre- tary to carry on the meetings and also appoint committees to take care of different things such as keeping the terrace clean and enforcing the rules which the pupils make.
 The minutes of the last meeting were as follows:
 Grade School Club Nov 1893
 The meeting was called to order by Ronald Carlstrom, president. The Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting.
 The main reason for the meeting was to choose a committee to keep the terraces free of the papers that were thrown on it. Kenneth Dolan, Billy Lloyd, Buddy Jenkins, and Richard Paul were willing to take charge of keeping the terraces clean. Alan Mckay was to keep the children from throwing refuse on the grounds.
 The meeting adjourned

entitled Blue Bells of Scotland, adding some variations of his own Then he talked to us about Elijah Cadmun, a noted worker in the Sal vation Army. He began by telling us how Cadmun grew up He start ed to school when he was five years old. His grandmother paid what is equal to about four cents in our money for his schooling each week. He had gone to school about two weeks when he went by taffy shop and smelt the candy. It was too much for him and he spent his mon ey for that After class that day the teacher discovered that he had no money so the boy was dropped through a hole in the corner of the room down into cellar. After stumbling around in the darkness he found bit of light coming down through an old chimney which he began to climb. Halfway up he got
 
 sweep, a very common job in those days. Usually men hired young boys as their partners as they were small and could climb through chimneys easily In a short time he found a man who, after getting the mothers consent, took him to work with him.
 He spent. his youth as a chimney sweep and besides this became quite a speaker. He used to bewilder his listeners by telling them he had been through Cambridge and OK ford and then finished by explain ing that he had cleaned all the chimneys there.
 For a time he became boxer and drinker but gave up these things when he saw that they were not helping him at all. He ended by giving the ropes from his prize ring to a lady to use as a clothes line.
 Then he began going to church and consented to teach the youngest class in Sunday school. It was from this class that he learned how to read and write. He would ask a child what a certain letter was and when the child told him he would remember it. In this way he grad ually learned the entire alphabet. He became one of the great workers in the Salvation Army. He was one of the few men who could call on the king without going through a lot of ceremony and guards before hand. When an old man, he was talk en i'll and people came by the hun dreds to see him and express their sympathy.
 Capt Belkovitch ended his talk by telling us that we ought to make great people of ourselves with all the chances we have when Cad nun made a great man of himself without any chance.

FISHERMEN

The Biology class has been study ing about fish this week and two of the boys were sent down to the shrimp cannery to get a few speci- mems to use for laboratory work. So far the boys have been studying grasshopper and other insects which are not common to Alaska and not much laboratory work could be done. Now that the pupils are on the chapter about fish they can tell MT. Gray a few things on this

WANTED!

Did little Willie leave anything in the way of a musical instrument in the attic when he left the par ental hearth in pursuit of higher learning? Plans are being made to start orchestra rehearsals this week, provided we can locate a few more instruments. The list of volunteers for orchestra is coniderably longer than the list of available instru- ments so if you know of any that are simply crowding the attic won't you let Us know. The orchestra would like to arrange to borrow or rent enough to fill the demand. Clarinets and violins preferred.

Wednesday afternoon we had our first pep rally. Lois Wheeler and Billy Ferguson were busy all day typing new yells which were placed in the red pep books made last year.

SUCCESS !!

Last week the boys cooking class made their first cakes. They turned out to be very good, in spite of the fact that some of the boys sifted the flour on the table instead of into the bowl. The most unusual thing, however, that has happened this year was that Marion Nuss- baumer got so full of cake that he had to. take part of his home.

WRANGELL A WINNER

The Wrangell Hi Basketball team won the first game of a five-game series with the Wrangell Institute last Thursday evening by a score of 29-17.
 The Institute boys started out with a bang and things did not look so bright for the High School During the second and third quarters Wrangell Hi had everything in it's favor In the final quarter the In- stitute started to play better brand of ball, but it was too late to pull their score up enough to make the game look dangerous.
 The success of the Hi team was mostly due to good team work and passing. The players and points made by each are as follows: Wrangell Hi Wrangell Institute Broad CPD Grant (3l B. Grant (10 Skan (4 Beri-ely (2) Bean (2) Urata (5) Williams (6) F. Grant (0) Baronovitch (0)

The attack on government invest
ments in waterways may be inspired
in part by the fact that one Of the
committees duties was to see how the
position Of railroad securities could
be strengthened. The fact that these
enterprises have not shown profit,
however, speaks for itself.

A TarniShed Jewel

It is always easier to criticize than
to construct but the recent report OF
a congress committee against the
government business activities does
call to mind that consistency is rather
tarnished jewel in our public affairs
For example, the government now Is
financing railroads through the Re-
construction Finance Corporation and
is restricting their profit making pos
sibility by cumbersome regulation. It
begs the farmer to reduce his acreage
and at the same time lends him
money to put in more crops. It claims
that the tremendous acreage planted
makes agriculture unprofitable-and
supplies additional acres by reclama-
ton and irrigation projects. It taxes
the profits OF business to support the
government-then competes with busi-
ness to keep those profits down.
There are hundreds of other in
consiStencies in minor detail, as near
ly everyone can testify who has had
dealings with the government.
The voter once was guilty Of COR
responding inconsistencies. He want
ed tax reduction-and greater expen-
ditures Of public funds; he voted bond
issues-and howled about his taxes.
But the voter has come awake very
acutely. More interested in his gov
ernment now and more active in its
affairs. he has quit expecting the i'm
possible. For him the game of polit-
ical fiddle de -winks is over. He Is
better off.
When the national government gets
to the same stage it will be better
off, too.

Holiday


II was a vigorous and drastic step
which Governor Comstock took to
curb a prospective run on Michigan's
banks but one which time probably
will prove to have been beneficial.
TO close every bank in a state
means to put an immediate halt to
business. Without the services of
these important institutions the holi-
day becomes one in fact as we'll as in
name.
But it is a good deal better to have
an eig;1t;day respite throughout the
entire state than disaster in many
communities with banks permanently
closed. Probably all of those banks
will be able to pull through if pro-
perly supported. Eight days will give
the banks ample time to liquify some
of their resources but, more impor-
tant, it will give the public chance
to think it over and cool down. Some
times holiday is wonderful thing

The Franco British Flop
NEW York World-Telerram

SNCW OTk WOl4Q. xClSkId1IIJ
The best news in world affairs In
long while Is the Geneva report
that the Great Powers have dropped
their pro-Japanese maneuverS and
are prepared to support the no-recog-
acknowledgements policy originally
promulgated by the United States
and later accepted by the Leagues
Lytton Commission.
For q year and a half the Japanese
militarists have been encouraged to
new conquest by the failure of Great
Britain and other powers to stand
with the United States and smaller
European nations for the Sanctity Of
treaties. From the beginning the only
way to check the Tokyo madness was
to outlaw 1t by world-united front.
The British Tories prevented that.
AS result the Nine Power Treaty
guaranteeing Chinese territorial in
tegrity. and the Kellogg anti-wal
pact have been broken by Japan
without even diplomatic rebuke OF the
culprit. And the League of Nations
because OF the refusal Of Great Bri-
tain and France to permit it to act
has lost most OF its remaining pres
tige.
But there seems to have been q
sudden shift of policy. Despite ia.
pans threat to withdraw from thu
League, to retain the inundated
islands, and even a japanese del
egate's threat Of world war, the Brit
ish and French governments have
now voted in favor OF Incorporating
the American policy In the forthcom-
ing League action.
In addition to the recommends
tions for withholding diplomatic
recognition Of Japan's puppet state
Of Manchukuo. for restoration Of
Chinese sovereignty over IN autouo-
NOUS Mauchuria ard for withdrawal
Of Japanese troops, France proposed
q financial boycott and possible in
ternatioual arms embargo by the
League in cooperation with Russia
and the United States.
All Of this Is significant for sev-
eral reasons; among others that ia
panese propaganda can no longer be
turned against the United States a.
the only diplomatic defender Of the
treaties and that Japanese conquest
cannot long continue without the fl
iancial and economic aid it has been
receiving during the last year from
Europe.
From the Japanese conquest the
world has learned that It's treaties are
worthless unless enforced by the neu.
tral powers. This does not mean that
the United States or other powers
should fight Japan-they should not.
It means merely that the world
cannot 60 on having treaties until
the united nations are willing to out
law aggressors diplomatically and
economically. Neither the United
States nor any other one nation can
uphold the treaties alone. It must
b . united front Dr nothing.
