NOME, ALASKA MARCH 19, 1917.
An ounce of preparedness is worth
a barrel of pork.
According to unofficial forecasts, the
allies' peace terms will allow of the
kal*er retaining his wrist watch and
two union suits.
"The kaiser suggests holding the next
peace-conference in some neutral
city” which lets Milwaukee, Cincinnati
and St. Louis out of the running,” so
■aith the La Crosse Leader Press.
"Old timer, have you heard the
news? Alaska's going to cut out
booze and henceforth will that frozen
clime subsist on pop -itui selzered
lime and miners from the riczen hills
in buttermilk will bathe their gills,
and Klondike Pete and Rough House
Liz will quench their thirst in kick
less fizz, and mushers chilled op Arc
tic trips will drink beef teu and
smack their lips.
“The roadhouse will no longer cheer
the trailworn soul with hootch or
beer; the mining camp will silent
be, except for miners’ drinking tea.
No more they’ll keek D. Rum of
nights and get lit up like northern
lights, since none may buy or steal
or mooch one tiny little shot of hootch.
And Yukon Ike, the good old soul, will
have to shinny up the pole, and soon
we’l! see Hell-Roarin’ Pete, upon the
water wagon's seat.
“The sourdough when he wants a
drink will amble to the Yukon brink,
and quaff a horn of H20, a harm
less drink as well you know; then go
hio way in hearch of gold and sing
an ode to water cold* and when he
makes a strike he’ll go to camp and
buy a drink or so, of orangeade, near
beer or lime, and say he’s had a rip
ping time.
“Not like the days of old, not much;
John Barleycorn is now in Dutch,
from Sitka to the Arctic shore, and
FoHy-Rod will cheer no more, the
hardy Argonout for he has climbed
the pole like you and me.”—Ana
eortes American.
The most Important matter under
discussion before our territorial leg
islature this season is the bill in
troduced by Representative Allan call
ing for an appropriation from the ter
ritorial treasury of 70 per cent of the
moneys needed for the anuual up-keep
and malntainance of muncipal schools
throughout Alaska.
The subject calls for the greaest
consideration and support, of the en
tire community, for the education of

the children of this territory—or any
other for that matter is one of vital
importance first, last and all the time,
and, the fact that the need of terri
torial help in maintaining our schools
is recognized by tiie august assembly
now in session at Juneau is a further
indication of the progressiveness of
Alaskans.
Should the Allan bill go through—
which It undoubtedly will—it means
a uniform system of education in the
municipal centers of the territory and
the scholar who leaves one town for
another in Alaska can step right in
and continues his studies where he
left off.
During the last session of the leg
islature Representative Burns of Fair
banks Introduced a bill which is al
most sure to be incorporated with
the Allan measure. It calls for a
thorough territorial school system, a
territorial superintendent of schools,
which was to be an elective office, a
territorial board of education as well
as a standard system of teaching •
discipline.
It Is our opinion that the best in
terests of the residents of this terri
tory will be served by taking <
municipal schools under the terri
torial wing and the money expended
on a school system conducted on the
most progressive lines possible would
be the highest type of investment that
our legislature could make.
Another matter of vital importance
which will engage the attention of the
legislature this session is the care of
our Insane. During the past two
years a campaign of protest has been
carried on throughout the territory
against the treatment accorded un
fortunate Alaskans confined at Morn
ingside. Mass meetings have been
held throughout the territory, many
affidavits taken in the face of which
immediate action is sure to result, and
our lawmakers at Juneau will in all
probability make an emphatic record
to this end in a strong memorial to
congress.
DAMAGE FROM
FOREST FIRES
Pacific New3 Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, The United States
Forest Service estimates that in 1915
there were 40 Of'O Icrest fires in the
United States which burned over ap
proximately 6,900,000 acres and caused
damage amounting to 67,000,000.
This amount of damage was done
despite the work of the Forest ser
vice n cheeking forest fires. Ses'vrui
times 67,000,000 would have been lost
had not the Government agents put
out hundreds of fires, it is claimed.
ELK HERDS

WASHINGTON, The Forest Ser
vice of the -United States Is protecting
