SCHOOL BONDS
ELECTION SET
FOR MAY Z

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE.
Va, April 27.-A special election
in Arlington county to vote on q
proposed $3.50, 1000 school bond
issue will be held May IL, it was
announced today.
An order setting this date for
the special referendum was en-.
tered in Circuit Court Of Airing
ton by Judge walter T. Mccarthy
late Saturday evening.
While only 1000 Signers were
necessary to call the election, ad-
vocates Of the school bond issue
conducted an extensive campaign
last week and presented petitions
bearing more than 5000 names
to Judge Mccarthy.
Round Up Voters
With less than 1000 votes being
polled in the county election here
last November, when all members
Of the county board and all
county offices were at stake, advo-
Gates Of the school bonds feel
confident that these 5000 names
will represent a majority.
Mindful Of the fact that a few
Of the signers will vote against
the bond issue, advocates are
planning to round up other voters.
Sponsors Of the election, includ-
ing members Of the various parent
teacher associations Of the county
and virtually every civic organiza-
ton, requested an early date for
the election so that actual con-
struction Of the new junior high
school may be started in time to
have the building ready for use at
the opening Of the fall term.
Fund for Grounds
The election will be held under
q special act Of the last session
of the general assembly, which per-
mits part Of the funds to be used
for grounds and equipment, as well
as for the actual construction Of
the building itself.
CONSTRUCTION of this new Junior
high school, which would be erected
in the east-central section Of the
county, is expected to be the be-
ginning Of q school program which,
in another five or 10 years, will
give the county three junior high
schools.

MINING SEASON NEARS CLOSE

AS the 1886 mining season in most sections of Sew ard Peninsula draws to close with the feezeup near let us direct public attenon toward the fact that this seclon of Alaska has enjoyed of is finest years with practically ideal conditions suitable for mining exper- fenced.
 Several hundred men have been busy employed at the numerous small and individual mining camps stretching from Nome to the Kougarok Teller, and down the coast to the Casa de Paga and Council and Candle.
 The gold that has already been shipped to the States through Nome is sufficiently valuable enough for Nome to be ordinarily proud of it. However, there is
 large bulk of gold bullion yet to be brought in from the outlying sections which will swell the final total to an extraordinary degree Of noteworthy reference is the development of tin mining at Cape Prince of Wal es this year.
 At, and in the vicinity of Nome large company op- eratlonS have been pushed since early spring. eral creeks and rivers As whole therefore, we are absolutly right in stating that Nome has been seeing one of its finest mining seasons.
 Where constant labor has been employed during almost the entire summer except for short period when the rains had not yet come there you may expect good business, activity and progress toward the Utopia of prosperity.
 The men employed have had job which they say them good living. They pay their way and prepared in instances to spend the winter in the States, but largely to remain in Nome during the next six months, before active spring work mences
 The general spirit and outlook has improved mar Veousy and there are very few who say that their business has not been above normal this year. Acv ity in Nome itself has reflected the improvement in gen era conditions. The prevalence of individual prospect ors and miners in the hills speaks exceedingly well for the future development and discovery of and rich CT god-bearing sections through the existing price of gold, which raised to S35 ounce
 So when you think of Nome, and hear of it's con- dtons and the future of it's vast mining ieds there is no doubt that it is forging ahead as producer It's prospectus of mining and business is much better than hoe l>ooy, fo,c that Nome has been worked out and is no more let them stop and think ttle for they surely do speak with any knowledge of the development taking place here and in the surrounding mining districts of Teller, Deering Candle, the newly awakened Kougar- ok, Council Haycock Casa and Somon river sections

MURDER WILL OUT

The fact that murder will out and truth crushed to
earth will rise again. demonstrated in Detroit this
week. by the uncoverng of the mysterious murder of Sill
as Coleman 42-year-old colored World War veteran,
whose bullet ridded body discovered in swamp in
Livingstone county about fourteen months ago.
The story of the gruesome, unprovoked Staying of
Coleman by members of the Black Legion, revealed
Monday by Dayton Dean confessed triggerman of the
hooded order Dean told how and several other
bers of his lawless organization, at the suggestion of
superior official the order decoyed the innocent
suspecng victim Detroit took him automobile
to the deserted spot adjoining county, and deber
atey shot him DEATH just 'to how feels to kill
Negro" They wanted to experience this thrill, as
feature of entertainment at a drinking party.
1t is difficult to comprehend how civilized human
beings when stepped in liquor and the spirit of nto
erance stoop to such cowardy deed to murder
another human being in cold blood for the sake of
and thrill yet this very thing happened in the
Christian state of Michigan in the of Colemans
der.
When the victim was ured from his home the night
of May 25, of last year. by Dean and white employer
whom he thought he could trust he was made to believe
that they enroue to collect eighteen dollars past
pay which he had earned hodcarrier He little
dreamed that he was riding his death. At any rate it
was an easy way to cancel the eighteen-dollar debt
After Coleman's body had been riddled with bullets
we told that his awess execuoners returned to the
nearby cottage to their drinking.
Before the present investigation into the activities of
the Black Legion ends it is quite likely that other mystery
murders in addition to the sayngs of Silas Cole
man and Charles Poole will be uncovered as well as
other crimes committed by members of this organization
When Coleman shot to death in that desolate
swamp, about year ago. the men who committed the
murder had idea that of their party des-
tined to reveal the secret Such gruesome, unprovoked
cod-blooded crimes may be concealed for time, but
sooner or later murder will out and justice will prevail
