It is estimated by the school
board that $lfOOO'wilhlte required j
to run tlie school tor the ensuing!
year on the present basis. This!
allows of a principal at $1,500 it -
Stead of $1,250 us has I teen paid
heretofore,, and two assistants at
$1,000- each; janitor and incident
als making up tlie Iwlance of the
$4,000. This is an expense of
about $100 jier annum for each
scholar. By abolishing tlie graded
work and employing two teachers
tlie lionrd figures that the expense
would l>e about $2,075. The pol
icy for the coming year will not
be definitely settled until it is as
certained what projKirtion of the
exjlenses can bo liornti by- the res
ervation school board..
For tlie information of the resi*
•JenIs of adjoining towns- who are
about to pc! iI ion for the establish
ment of a school district,, the fol
lowing requirement a of a petition
are published. Failure to comply
vith-all the re<|iiiromer»ts-given be
low will necessitate the return of
tlie petition for correction and a
consequent loss of time..
A petition must ho signed liy 12
or more citizens of the United i
fBates of adult age. District boun
daries-must be definitely and care
fully defined. District boundaries
must not contain more than forty
jquars miles of territory. There
must lie 20 or more white children
b-itwecn the ages of t> and. 20 years

of mixed blood living a civilized |
life must be enumerated separately, j
i* near as can be learned there
are now three parties figuring on a
Ualdez-Kuglc road. Thcv are the
'lazelett party, Stewart, who owns
all the Helm interests, and Ken
neth Hose., who _ recently incorpo
rated a eoinpany. in New Jersey,
and who has at present several
options on property in this-section.
A lie'her any of these people will
proceed with construction, or are
merely making a play for govern
ment assistance remains to be seen.
3 the residents of the reserva—
3on who objected to paying $d a
month tuition will do a little figur
mg they will see t*ait they were i
getting off cheap at that amount, as I
’1 costs nearly $100 per pupil to
maintain the Valdez school for j
Vbn. months.
