The school lioard recently adver
tised for and received bids for the
erection of a new school house.
When the bids were opened and
examined the contract was awarded
to a company of builders who
•greed to do it for 91,140.
The plane call for a simple
addition to the old school house.
It will give more room, bat will it
give the necessary comfort to the
teachers and children who are ex-1
pec ted to sit for three or four hours j
•t a time?
The old school house was put up
and improved nt a time when our
population was small and was)
considered adequate for the pur-1
pose. Bat it proved too small and j
the place was vacated just as soon 1
as the city hall could be put in;
condition to be used as a school
house and the eity hall has been
Used ever since.
At the time the old building was
prepared for school purposes the
visible income was small, but since
then the town has rapidly increased
in importance and the income toj
the town is yearly becoming much
larger. The school lioard therefore
ahould,in view of past experiments
in that line, give up tinkering with
cheap shacks nnd build a good,1
substantial school house tq cost.
not l*s# than four or live thousand
dollars. It should lie a building
properly heated and ventilated,
and with all modern improvements,
Insuring no risk to the lives or
or health of the children in at
tendance.
Valdez is here to stay and the
sooner we realize that fact the
better, and if we are going to have
a permanent town let us have per
manent buildings. If the town is
too timid to put up good, perma
nent structures, the residents can
not be expected to do it, and as a
result we will continue to have just
shacks.

The newspapers of southeastern
Alaska are registering a stiff kick
against the appointment of some
gentleman down in that section
named Arthur C. Jackson, who is
evidently desirous of representing
Alaska at the 8t. Louis fair. If he
ia going to represent Alaska we
would very much like to know who
and what be is, and what his abili
ties are to take charge of the job.
We understand him to have made
the assertion that he can raise:
$20,000 in the incorporated towns;
if that is so, we, here in Valdez,
may some day in the near future
be asked to plank down our share,
and while the people here are very
liberal in all legitimate enterprises,
they have one peculiar trait, and
that is a desire to know the party
whb whom they are dealing.
Won’t Russel, of the Dispach,
kindly introduce us, so that we
may be prepared for the hold-up.

A committee was appointed in'
Beattie at a meeeting at men who
call themselves the Alaska delega
tion, to assist in the entertainment
of President Roosevelt while in
Beattie. A man named McPhee
was appointed aa representative for
Valdes. Meet ot the people in town
would like to know who he is end
what reason there is for having
him represent this place? J. W.
Ivev, who made auch a talk last
fall alMMit being a permanent citi
sen of Valdes, represents Sitka on
the committee.
