At the council meetiug last night
$1/300 was appropriated for the
school board. Considerable dis
cussion was caused by the fact that
the ValdfK school board has been
issuing warrants since last June to
Miss Conway, the teacher who was
employed by the Reservation
board. Last rear the Reservation
board paid their own teacher, but
this term for some reason the local
hoard issued warrants to her the
.same aa to the teachers employed
by themselves. The understand
ing has bcf*n that the Re&eVvation
would pay its own teacher from
the funds received from the gov
ernment, but for some reason no
federal money lias been received so
far. The money was turned over
last night with the understanding
that it would be applied only to
the payment of indebtedness in
curred by the local board, Mr. Craw
ford stating that in his opinioh
it was the proper course to pursue.
A. J. Meals was elected clerk of
the school board at Valdes. It
remains to be seen whether the
teachers will bo abl® to eat off the
board now.—Gateway.
Wealth is largely a matter of
opportunity. Alaska is oppor
tunity. What has been won from
this Land of Gold, is but a prelim
inary or preface to the raster and
greater wealth that lies still buried
beneath her cold soil. The oppor
tunities of Alaska are open to all.
There is a story 1 hat a few days
before William H. Seward’s death
he was asked what he considered
the most momentuoiis measure in
ills busy official career. “The
purchase of Alaska,” said the grand
old statesman, but it will take the
people a generation to find it
...ut.

At the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific ex
position in 1909, thte visitors will
be able to have meals entirely of
Alaska origin in a building that
was a restaiirant irt the Nome and
Dawson rush days, cooked and
served entirely by native Alaskahs,
says the Seattle Times.
The author ol the idea is James
Fish, Sr., of Valder, a sourdough
of the days of Circle Citv and ’88.
Mr. Fish has applied for a conces
sion foT a restaurant—uossibly
more than one-i—and he outlines a
plan which the directors of the
fair are inclined to look upon,
very favorably.
Mr, Fish would bring to the fair;
and erect a building and reproduce
the signs, surroundings, etc., of a
restaurant in the days of the great
rush North. Nothing in it would
be served except Alaskan food.
Moose, caribou, salmon ahd all
other kinds of fish, ail kinds of
ducks, vegetables of all kinds, and
different kinds of fruit that are be
ing now grown in Alaska will be
served. EVen the bread will be
made from whest grown in the
Northern district.
In order to carry out his plan
Mr. Fish ahd his sons have taken
up 1,600 acres of land in the Solo
mon valley, near Valdei. There
he is planting all kind of vegeta
bles and fruits and cereals that
can be grown in the North. The
farm will be profitable apart from
the fair. Mr. Fish calculates, and
as he has money to spend, he
hopes apart from the profit element
that his farm will so demonstrate
to the world the ability of Alaska
to bo -elf-supporung that many
others will staH farms and ranches
In the Solomon valley, which is the
best adapted land for the growing j
i of necessities', in all the North.
The natives of Alaska are the
beet cooks in the world, is the
claim of 5tr. Fish. He figures
having them cook in the restau
rant, and will bring south Indian
maidens from different parts of the
' country who will do the serving in
their native costumes.
Shipping Coal From Alaska To
Seattle.
Fred M. Brown, the well known
Valdez attorney, has just shipped
a ton of coal from Valdez on the
Steamer Shelikoff, to liis family in
Seattle. Mr. Brown thinks this
will be a very acceptable Christ
mas present. When he left Seattle
December 4th, not a pound of coal
could be had in the city. It was
expected however that the famine
would be relieved, but dispatches
from Seattle now show that the
condition is growing worse.
This is probably the first ship
ment of coal ever made from Alas
ka, for any other purpose than
testing, but within two years,
Alaska, which was po long thought
to be only an iceberg, will be sup
plying the whole jPacifio Coast,
with a high.grade anthracite coal
from the Matanuska and Kyak
coal fields.

High Grade Gravel.
The Sunrise correspondent of
the Gateway reports th&t R. B.
Mathison and sons have done very
well this summer on Resurrection
creek near Hope. A new discovery
on the benches shows gravel averog- j
lng as high as II to the yard. Thcj
ground was worked this season
with scrapers operated by water
power, which dumped the gravel
into boxes.
