VACATION SCHOOLS PROVE A
PLEASING SUCCESS.

This is vacation school time and
over 200 Libby children are spending
their mornings in Libby's two vaca-
ton schools. According to report, they
come with eagerness to. the work and
leave it with regret at noon.
When the first vacation school was
proposed here number of years ago,
we confess we were skeptical of its
value 1t was something new in our
experience We felt the youngster, af-
ter nine months of study and applica-
ton, would resent being herded into
another school for two or three weeks
or month. Especially would he re-
sent it, we thought, with all the joy
Gus outdoors calling unto him, with
care-free life awaiting him among the
birds and flowers and mountains and
woods.
But what was our surprise to see all
our convictions proven without foun-
dation. The. youngsters flocked to the
vacation school and seemed to enjoy
the work in unstinted measure.
The schools do a great work. We are
glad to chronicle their unquestioned
success and to offer a word of COM
mendation for the valuable service
they are performing Those kindly
souls who devote their time and ener-
gies to the work of helping to mold
in right lines the young lives in their
care. are deserving of much praise.

MUCH CRITICISM HEARD OF
FOREST CONSERVATION WORK.

Throughout this western country
there is a prevailing skepticism re-
garding the practical results that will
follow the jobs to be done BY the
civilian conservation corps and their
work in the forests. That skepticism
IS widespread if it exists elsewhere to
the same extent that it does here.
This plan of throwing thousands Of
inexperienced young men from the big
cities and the plains country Of the
east and middle west into the western
forests and expecting them to accom-
pIish anything really worthwhile in the
way of work is one of those fine
theories that somehow fail to pan out
in practice
Forest work requires trained and ex-
perienced men. men who have been
raised to it and who know how to do
it. A greenhorn in the woods is just
as much nuisance as he is in any
other kind Of work. He may accomp-
lish a small amount of work under
competent instruction but 1t will be
at heavy cost to the government.
furthermore, there is feeling of re-
sentiment that men should be imported
from far distant cities to take jobs
away from local inhabitants who have
done needed work in the forests for
years, who have relied on this work
for the support of themselves and their
families and who feel that the jobs
by right belong to them. We publish a
letter this week from a Libby forest
worker who voices that resentment.
We fail to see the wisdom of incurr-
ing the heavy expense of transporting
several hundred young men from the
eastern seaboard across nearly the en-
tire continent to the western noun
tains in order to give them work IN
the forests, while there are thousands
Of men-old and young-in the western
states who are badly in need of work,
and large numbers of them trained in
woods work. Surely it ought to have
been possible to find work for eastern
men on eastern projects and have left
the western work for western men. If
that plan had been followed the gov
eminent would have saved thousands
Of dollars in transportation costs alone.
A man who has had years Of expert
ence in. woods work remarked the
other day that in his judgment this
forest conservation work by green
horns from the cities would cost the
government 10 additional dollars for
every dollar paid to the men in wages

WAGES ARE MUCH MORE THAN
DOLLAR A DAY.

There is a great deal of criticism
heard of the dollar day" paid by
the government to its forest workers.
We believe these who criticize are
losing sight of the fact that the wages
are, in effect, considerably more than
a dollar a day. That dollar day in
ciudes board and shelter, necessary
clothes, medical and hospital care if
the worker requires it. While the total
is not large wage, it really is much
more than dollar a day. That fact
should not be lost sight of.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT NOW
FACES THE SUPREME TEST.

For three and half months Presi-
through congress a program of legis-
lation that will give him unprecedented
power in directing the industrial life of
the nation. He has been remarkably
successful. Congress has now adjourned
after having enacted all the major leg
islation desired by the president. The
president has signed the bills and they
are now the law of the land
President Roosevelt now faces the
far more difficult task of successfully
putting in operation the theories that
his administration holds. 1t is COM
paratively easy matter to sit in con-
gress and spin into law beautiful
theory. especially when one has UNI
disputed control Of congress. II is an
entirely different matter-and a far
more difficult one-to put those theories
into practice and have them work out
successfully The supreme test now
faces the Roosevelt administration.
Will his theories work?
The president admits what is recog-
nized by everyone, that he is propos-
ing program of industrial control
never before attempted by this nation
in peace time. The old hit and miss
system Of free for all competition is
no longer to exist The theory of rug
ged American individualism that has
characterized the industrial develop
ment Of this nation is to 60 into the
discard In its place there is to come
national control and direction Of in
dustry, chiefly eentered al Washing
ton Industry is to be told how many
hours it shall work It's Iaborers. what
wages it shall pay, and how much it
shall produce.
That's d stupendous undertaking. It
is colossal job to work out program
of that nature and have 1t turn out
successfully. Possibly it sounds easy
to. say this and that shall be done But
when body Of men start laying down
a set of rules to govern any great in
dustry. they are at once faced with a
multitude of perplexing problems that
the man on the street never even
glimpses The solving Of those problems
is the stupendous task we mention.
The very nature of the task will re-
quire an immense bureaucracy. Just
vision the job of telling all the farm
ers Of the nation how many acres each
farmer shall put into crop. And then
think Of the additional task of seeing
that some of those farmers do not
evade the agreement. That is an e.-
ample of the number of men it will
require to work out such a program
as is now proposed. We have always
been taught to believe a bureaucracy
is bad thing. If it is, the nation IS
now going to have the largest one ever
witnessed in its history.
President Roosevelt and those who
think as he does are convinced that
society has outlived the old free for all
competitive system They believe that
the invention Of machinery and other
factors have made necessary planned
program for national industry. They
believe the old system has brought
chaos and misery. They are also con-
fident that the new system will bring
better wages to the laboring man,
surer return to industry, fewer finan-
cial depressions, more prosperity and

THE REBUKE TO FRANCE

President Roosevelt has addressed
a rebuke to France for not paying
her war-debt installment. He hints
that there can be no consideration
of debt-revision until France pays
up her installments. This must be
regarded necessarily, as statement
for home consumption. Mr.. Roose-
welt knows very we'll that if this
nation revises the debt structure,
France must be included, and he
also knows that if this nation in
dicates it's willingness to revise the
debts, France will pay up immedi-
ately. The French Chamber of Dep
uties has just as much as said so.
In the meantime, however, the re-
buke will probably do nobody any
harm, and may make some people
feel better.-Ex.

CALVIN SECURES OPTION ON
PROPERTY IN NOME DISTRICT

J. G. Calvin has taken an option
on the Big Hurrah property on a
tributary of Solomon River, about
thirty miles east of Nome on the
Boring Sea coast, according to the
Alaska Weekly.
The property was formerly own
ed by c. D. Lane and associates and
since 1908 has been tied up by an
estate. During its operations bank
records show a production of ap-
proximately 100000.
Reports on the property written
after examinations made shortly be-
state that at the 2S0-foot level they
were still in good ore, in fact that
the values had been steadily in
creasing. The faces of the drifts
and tunnel showed free gold and
every indication pointed to the
property eventually making one Of
the big producers of the entire
north country. The property COM
prises fifteen patented claims and
the title is said to be clear.
Shipping Machinery on "Vic"
Calvin states that the next sail
ing of the Victoria, early in July,
will find him aboard with an out
fit which will include pumping
equipment for unwatering the prop
erty and complete milling and gold
saving machinery to be used in con-
nection with the 81 stamps already
on the property. 1t is expected that
the historic property will once more
be turning out gold before this
season is over, helping to boost the
gold production record of the Sew
ard Peninsula.

COUNTING THE COST

OF course, it is no immediate con-
Germ of ours, but we cannot help
rejecting on the folly of public OF
ficials as shown by the recent news
from Georgia. In that state, the
governor, in a wrangle with his
highway board over budget mat
tiers has taken matters into mis- own
hands, declared martial law, called
out the national guard and now
proposes to run things in his own
way.
We have no objection to his max
ing himself dictator, but We wonder
how sincerely he desires economy.
In order to carry out his highway
program, he calls out the national
guard. Who will pay for this ges-
ture? 1t costs money to feed, clothe
shelter and operate the guard The
peoples tax dollar will go to defray
the expenses, as usual. 1t all goes
to show how utterly short sighted
are many of our public officials.
Penny-wise and pound-foolish is an
ancient and trite expression, but it
fully expresses the viewpoint OF
too many of our elected officials.

recovered as a by-product in con-
nection with the mining of gold
ores in southeastern Alaska.
Producing Coal Fields
Coal to the value of 1913, 500 was
produced in 1882 from Alaska
mines, principally in the Matanuska
and Healy River fields. This marked
a decrease both in quantity and
value, but the output of the year,
102,700 tons, has been exceeded in
only five years in the entire period
that coal mining has been in prog
ress in Alaska. No Alaska coal Is
exported, but 2S,422 tons was i'm
ported from the states, chiefly from
Washington, and 1883 tons from
foreign countries, chiefly British
Columbia, so that the total consump-
tion of coal in Alaska in 1882
amounted to about $4,000 tons.
Miscellaneous Products
Among the products that entered
less largely into the Alaska mineral
industry in 1882 may be mentioned
marble, limestone for cement pc
troleum, platinum metals and quick
silver. The total value of the mis-
cellaneous products was 1929, 400,
or considerably more than that of
the similar group of products in
1881.
The foregoing notes are taken
from a comprehensive report of the
United States Geological Survey,
entitled Mineral Industry of AL
aska in 1882" which was prepared
by Philip S. Smith and will form
one of the series of similar reports
that the Geological Survey has is
sued to describe the progress of AL
aska mining each year since 1904.

WRANGELL GIRL ENJOYS
MATANUSKA VALLEY SCHOOL

Miss Edna Bidwell, returned last
week from teaching her first term
of school at Lakeview in the Mata-
nuska valley, which she describes
as having been a most enjoyable
experience.
The Lakeview school is six miles
from Wasilla on the Alaska Rail
road and is close to two lakes of
the Fish Hook chain. Five families
are homesteading in that part OF
the valley, the seven children of
school age coming from three of
the families who moved to the val
ley within the past three years
from such widely separated states
as Montana, Georgia and Washing
ton.
While the enrolment was but
seven, Miss Bidwell had to teach
the third, fifth, seventh and eighth
grades She prepared the three
eighth graders for the Territorial
examinations and all passed with
high grades. She plans next year to
give these pupils a full first year
high school course.
School was carried on in the up
stairs rooms of one of the valley
homes in which Miss Bidwell lived
The children all walked about two
miles to school in weather ranging
from an average of SO below zero
down to 40 below during a cold
snap with but three absent and
tardy marks for the term.
The weather was dry and cold
and furnished no end of good times.
Children and teacher together out
of school hours fished in the lake
through ice holes, sailed ice boats,
enjoyed ice skating, snow shoeing.
skiing, and riding on skis behind
horses. Every Sunday they went to
Wasilla for the mail.
The Matanuska valley is unbe-
lievably fertile, she states. Winter
comes early but so does spring and
by the latter part of May the crops
were all in. When she left wild
roses, days slippers, canterbury
bells, violets, johnny-jump-ups and
other wild flowers were blooming
in profusion.
The wild Land of the Matanuska
is covered with tall, luxuriant grass
the valley timber being birch and
willow which fringe the lakes and
lower portions of the valley.

DENVER MAN USES CABBAGE
PLANTS TO SAVE FINE GOLD

DENVER-George Kettle, Den
yer mining man, with the use of
cabbage plants has devised what
he believes to be a practical means
of extracting light flour gold par
ticles from gold bearing waters.
Great quantities of flour gold, so
finely ground that it floats upon
water have been lost in the past for
lack of a way to separate it from
the water.
Kettle puts a number of split
heads of cabbage into a drum and
pumps the water into the drum. The
gold is attracted by the cabbage
and clings to it. The water is
drained from the cabbage. 1t is then
simple matter to remove the gold
from the cabbage, according to
Mr.. Kettle.
Thousands of dollars worth of
flour gold may be recovered from
the streams in this region by this
process, Kettle predicts. He has OBJ
tanned a patent ON his invention.
