ing that the shaft was not properly

his claim, saying that the engineer
himself was negligent for stepping
into an unknown darkness. Said the
judge: Darkness is natures own

stinct Of self-protection and

ing the farmer for not hollering
warning. The farmer insisted that
the neighbor could see what was
going on, and therefore should have
kept out of harms way. But the
court disagreed. Holding the farm
er liable, the judge said he should
have shouted warning as he
was the only one who could tell the
exact moment of danger.

A GOOD WAR

We shall be watching the Local
front OF the Virginia-N Caro-
lima corn war with a great deal
OF interest.
The people in our section who
are interested in farming can
learn a most helpful lesson from
the coIn-g growing contest. We
were shown last year that in
tense cultivation of an acre is
worth more than tending a whole
hillside as it has been done in the
past.
The old way Of farming in these
hills was to put a field or two in
corn. Corn was the chief and al
most the only crop. Put a field III
corn one year and use it as a rag
weed pasture the next-that was
once the practice, and that same
method is used by many people
even in this day. But the soldiers
in the corn war go about it in a
different way. Each has his acre.
He prepares his seed bed with
the greatest care, plants it in hy-
brid corn, and uses the fertilizers
needed by his soil. He harvests
more than a hundred bushels
from that acre. His other land is
thus freed for pasture, hay and
small grain
The Virginia. North Carolina
rivalry is one kind of war we
can afford. 1t will do more to
show the proper use of land than
years of teaching and discussion
One man actually shows a whole
community what can be done. The
contest throws a spotlight on the
progressive farmer.
May this war go on and on, and
may the fighting grow hotter and
hotter!!

Must You Step More

An engineer was hired to check
the heating system of an office
building. While poking around in
the basement, he came upon large
metal door. Curious, he opened it.
Alas, it led to an elevator shaft!

Let us imagine such prepara-
tons, for instance on Pound Riv-
err or Cranes Nest. Parties would
go there through the week and at
end of the week. These eXcur-
sions would increase the traffic
over the roads. AS the traffic
counts grew, the communities
could demand road improvements
A. small community investment
would bring better secondary high
ways. This improvement is the
first step toward the material bet
terment of a community.
The idea is really worth try
ing.

Must You HolIer
When You Fell O Tree?

One morning, a farmer went to
work digging up a dead tree. At
last the roots broke loose. The tree
came crashing down across the
back fence-just as a neighbor was
passing by with a team of horses!
Several big branches landed on the
horses, killing them instantly.
Afterward the neighbor sued for

COUNCIL NAMES
BEACH ASSESSOR
ATINF0RMAL MEET

Ray Beach was named city asses
sor at an informal meeting OF the
Juneau City Council last night.
Formerly employed by the Terri
torial Department of Labor and the
Territorial Treasurer, Beach began
work for the city this morning and
will complete the assessing job in
September, according to Mayor
Waino Hendrickson.
The council announced at its reg
ular meeting a week ago that an
assessor had been selected, but an
nouncement of the councils choice
for the job was not made until
after last nights meeting. Three
Juneau residents had applied for
the post.
C. L. Popejoy, city clerk, carried
out the duties of assessor last year,
but the expanded city limits, which
will mean more work for the man
who sets values on the property in
the city, prevented his taking over
the job this year.
The recent annexation OF the
Highlands district by the city viii
make the assessors job full-timt
one for five months, Mayor Hen
Erickson stated.
First step to be taken by Beach
in his new post will be the mailing
of assessment forms to Juneau
property owners.
The new assessor Will employ tie
method of assessing real property
employed for the past five years.
This roughly consists OF setting Q
value on a building according tc
cubic capacity of the building, the
type of building, the age OF the
building, and its condition.
This method has peen quite sat
isfactory in the past" Mayor Hen
erickson said.
Beach was a candidate for nomi-
nation as Territorial Labor Com
missioner On the Republican ticket.

1919 TAXPAYERS
ELIGIBLE TO VOTE
IN BOND ELECTION

Those people on the l949 tax rolls
in the Juneau Independent School,
District will be eligible to vote III
the special school district election
Tuesday. Sterling S. Sears, Superin-
tendent of Schools, told the Cham
Der of Commerce today.
He was guest speaker at the meet
ing of the organization at noon, ana
the subject of his talk was the
need for a. new school in Juneau
and the S750,000 bond issue which
will have to be approved If tbs
school is to be constructed.
Every growing community feels
its growth in its schools" he said.
For the past 80 years, Juneaus
school population has grown faster
than its schools. This year two KIN
dergarten classes are forced to NEE

pointed out.

more classrooms," he said.
Sears said there has never oeel
a more favorable time for con
struction. The Federal government
under provision of the Public work.
Bill for Alaska, will supply up tt
one-half the cost of planning, con
struction, and equipping the school
The remainder OF the cost woui,
have to be financed through bono
issue. If the S75O,000 bond issue
approved at the special election
Tuesday, the school board will no
issue bonds for more than is actu
ally needed. Sears feels that thu
would be much less than $750.000.
''But the school board wants def
mite assurance that it will be abb
to finance its sharesof the cost, 81
that the construction once started
will be completed as planned" hi
said.
Sears said the Territorial tobacco
tax funds would probably take care
of paying off most of the bonds, i
they are issued.
The school which is planned
would include 10 classrooms, rifle
range. a large auditorium gymna'
SUM and a cafeteria. as well al
store rooms. There would also bt
