VALDEZ SCHOOLS THE BEST.
Valdez lias now no douDt aoouiiue
standing of its schools. Ddring the
past four nights the scholars of the
schools from the first grade to the
high school graduates have done
themselves and the faculty honor by
a splendid series of entertainments
and exercises. What greater asset
has any community than a well equip
ped, efficient school? The lisping
recitation of the dainty little first
grader develops into the oration of
the high school graduate, whose
chances for success in the thing call
ed life depend very largely upon the
application of the school learning and
training, in the building of character
and the pursuit of a livelihood. We
thank you, scholars, for you have
proved to us that you are receiving
from the routine of your school life,
the effect of training by efficient
teachers. We thank you, teachers,
because your scholars have proved to
us that Valdez children are capable
of giving entertainments that can
compare favorably with any that we
have ever heard. We can afford to
forget many things but we cannot
forget our schools. Valdez should
have a larger and better school build
ing.
As we pass on over the plains of
Time let us not forget that perhaps
it is our greatest duty to give to
the children of today the opportun
ity and the preparation that will fit
them in the best way for the work
of the world of tomorrow. We have
seen what we have desired results—
and we are satisfied with our fac
ulty, our board and—our children.
THIRTY YEARS OF GOOD SERVICE.
Colonel Wilds P. Richardson,
chairman of the Alaska road com
mission, .today rounds out thirty years
of service in the United States army,
having graduated from West Point
on May 11, 1884. The last seventeen
years Colonel Richardson has spent
in Alaska. His work here has been
constructive, coming to the territory
when neither trails or roads exist
ed, the only paths being those made
by the moccasined feet of the na
tives, thp rivers the only means of
travel, yet through his efforts it has
been made poss'bje for the prospector
and miner to journey to the remote
sections. of Alaska over trails and
roads that are a credit to the gov
ernment; automobiles can be and
have been run from the coast to Fair
banks; large tonnage of mining ma
'chinery has been transported over the
government roads to the different
camps in the north, while, because
of the constructive work done by the
road commission under Colonel Rich
ardson’s direction the government to
day plans the building of a trans
Alaska railroad.
The work of ‘‘Colonel Dick” has
been that of a builder. The people
of Alaska congratuulate the colonel
upon his thirty years of endeavor.
As a road builder he has no equal;
as a friend he is par excellence; as
a soldier he is of the best. The Pros
pector congratulates you, colonel.

British and Indian Governments Con

South Africa — Treatment Accorded
Natives Arouses East Indians Living
In British Isles.
London. — The British and Indian
governments are very seriously con
cerned over recent occurrences in
South Africa arising out of what the
East Indians consider discriminatory
legislation against them. An effort is
being made to minimize the serious
ness of the situation, which was ac
companied by a general strike of thou
sands of East Indians in Natal and
riots, in which several were killed.
Viscount Hardiuge, viceroy of India,
has tried to pour oil on the troubled
' waters by expressing his sympathy
with the East Indians in South Africa
and asking for a thorough investiga

tiou by the imperial authorities, ami
tlie Marquis of Crewe, secretary of
state for India, in reply to a deputa
tion of East Indians, has likewise ex
pressed himself in favor of investiga
tion.
All this, however, has uot had much
effect on the natives or, at auy rate,
on East Indians living in the British
isles. They are thoroughly aroused
and are demanding equal treatment
for their fellow subjects in all the
British dominions.- practically all of
which have adopted or contemplate
adopting laws to keep the Indinns out
of their respective countries.
The difficulties of the Imperial gov
ernment are twofold. It is pointed out
that it cannot dictate to the dominions
as to what immigrants they shall ad
mit without arousing, particularly in
South Africa, a storm that might lead
to a demand for separation from the
empire, and in India it is realized by
the authorities that it would not take
a great deal to fun the flame into a re
bellion, the suppression of which
would tax the resources of the em
pire.
A rebellion In India would be a very
serious matter under any circum
stances. but there Is the added diffi
culty now that Hindus and Moham
medans are united In demanding what
they consider Justice to the Indian sub
jects of his majesty. It is not often
that the two sects .Join together, but
in this case they have been acting as
one, and have been holding joint meet
ings of protest and making joint rep
resentations to the India office. The
meetings have been scarcely noticed in
the papers, although the speeches de
livered at some of them have been of
such an Infirm matory character that
on other occasions the speakers would
have been charged with sedition.
Another matter irritating the Indi
ans is that they have found out that
some of the men who professed to'be
heart and soul In their campaign for
redress were In the pay of the Imperial
government One very prominent In
dian, whose speejtjes at some of the
meetings verged very closely upon se
dition has been found to have been in
the pay of the Indian government for
years. He is now receiving police pro
tection for fear of assassination.

ASSEMBLE MIDGET DINOSAUR.
Only Six Feet Long and Hae Three
* Horne—Found In Montana.
Washington.—There are now being
assembled In the National museum the
bones of a very small three horned di
nosaur, which is being made the type
of a new species. When assembled It
will be only about six feet long and
three feet high, less than one-quarter
the size of the largest members of this
family. The head is twenty-two inches
long. In the museum are several skulls
of one of the large horned dinosaurs,
Triceratops. which measure six to
eight feet and in one case nine feet.
The group to which the new member
belongs is called the Ceratopsia. from
the horns which adorn their heads—
two above the eyes and one on the end
of the nose.
Its jaws are like those of a turtle,
there being no front teeth, but a sharp
curved beak. Farther back in the jaws
are cutting teeth, which show the ani
mal to have been herbivorous.
This specimen was found with the
foot and tail articulated, being the first
complete and connected specimen ever
obtained. The foot has four toes—the
first with two bones, the second with
three, the fourth with five, while only
a trace of the fifth toe remains, tend
ing to show the loss of that member
through disuse, as is the case with the
horse.
IMPROVING HEALTH
OF THE FILIPINOS
Martin Giving Special Atten
tion to the Children.
Washington.—A feature of the new
administration In the Philippines is the
educational program, which is to be
greatly enlarged and popularized. Vice
Governor Henderson S. Martin, who is
also secretary of public instruction, ac
cording to advices received here, has
determined to devote himself especial

ly to the improvement of the health of
the school children, putting into prac
tice the old precept of "a sound mind
in a sound body.”
Already remarkable results have been
attained in this direction in the Philip
pine schools, following the successful
“com campaign” which improved the
conditions among the children. In the
Manila schools alone last year, out
of 24,(360 children examined. 7,619 re
quired medical attention, and as a re
sult the more serious forms of skin dis
eases and trachoma are now under
control, in one province many chil
dren were afflicted with hookworm.
There are already nearly 000.000
children in the schools and it is be
lieved that by this attention to their
welfare In a comparatively short time
the entire Filipino people will be great
ly improved physically and mentally.
