USEFUL SUGGESTION MADE
BY JUNEAU NEWSPAPER
TO MEET NEW CONDITIONS
(Juneau Empire)
Should the expressed will of the people
of Alaska-.be given effect by congress, with
reference to the enactment of ti prohibtiory
liquor law for the territory, the different
municipalities will lose an important source
of revenue now accruing to the incorpor
ated towns from liquor licenses. This will
be generally conceded, and how this loss
may be replaced without adding directly to
the present volume of taxation in incor
porated communities becomes a matter of
more than ordinary interest, especially to
the citizens of the various Alaska towns.
That the territory should bear a portion
of the municipal taxation burden for the
support of schools would seein to be only
just and equitable; and the way to do so
may be found through the operation of
what is now known as the Alaska fund.
Ths fund is derived from trade and license
taxes laid by the federal government out
side of incorporated towns, and is paid di
rectly into the federal treasury, where it. is
apportioned as follows; 65 per cent to the
Alaska road fund, 25 per cent to the sup
port of white schools outside of incorporated
towns, and 10 per cent for indigent pur
poses. The total of .this fund for the fiscal
year 1916 was $249432.39. ;
Now, there would seem to be no legiti
mate reason why the absolute control of the
Alaska fund should not be placed in the
territorial legislature, to be appropriated by
that body for the support of white schools,
both within and without incorporated towns,
and also for indigent purposes, and the resi
due, if any, could be applied to road-build
ing purposes, as at present.
It is evident that were this fund con
trolled by the territory instead of by the
federal government,. the Alaska road fund
might be deprived of a certain amount of
money each year. That this is true is shown
by the amount accruing to the federal road
fund for the fiscal year 1916. which was
$163,141.04. But this sum might, in part
at least, be made up by a direct increase
of appropriation by congress, supplemented
by an appropriation from the territorial
legislature from any sum that would re
main in the Alaska fund after the terri
torial white schools had been provided for. I
The money derived from liquor licenses j
in the different incorporated towns of the
territory at the present time amounts to ap
proximately $90,000 a year. The amount
derived from the Alaska fund during the
fiscal year 1916 for the support of white
schools outside of incorporated towns was
$62,358.19. This sum is insufficient to
maintain these schools,- the amount re
quired during the present school year
1916-17 apipg approximately $86,000. The
sum available for 'indigent purposes from
the Alaska fund during the fiscal year 1910
was $24,923.23, dictributed among the four (
judicial divisions in equal amounts.

control, after providing, say, $100,000 for
the support of schools within incorporated
towns and $00,000 for the maintenance of
white schools outside of incorporator! com
munities, and allowing $25,000 for federal
indigent purposes, the sum of approximately
$35,000 would be available for roads or
other purposes, this estimate being based
upon the total of the Alaska fund for the
fiscal year 1916.
But it would probably be practicable to
cause the municipalities to contribute a cer
tain proportion of the moneys needed for
the support of their schools by direct taxa
tion, thus permitting a larger proportion of
the Alaska fund to be used for road pur
poses, under the direction of the Alaska
road commission, as at present; and, as sug
gested above, the deficit could well be sup
plied by an increase in the annual appro
priation by congress for road construction
purposes in the territory.
The transfer by congress of the control
of the Alaska fund to the territory would
entail school legislation by congress as well.
The territorial school law is notoriously in
adequate and inefficient, and a complete
new school system is desirable if the chil
dren of the territory are to he provided
with the best educational facilities that can
be procured for them. In all of the West
ern states the public schools receive a cer
tain amount from the state school fund,
prorated among them according to school
population, and a similar system can be
devised for Alaska.
One day Alaska will have a large fund
derived from school lands; sections 16 and
36 in every township will be set aside for
school purposes, as in the public land
states of the West. Of course, some time
must elapse before a school fund from
this source will be available, and in the
meantime other means must be found to
maintain the schools of Alaska.
The plan outlined above, it is submitted,
is merely tentative, and is subject to modi
fication, but the Empire believes it to be
wholly practicable. It is also believed that j
the control of the Alaska fund can be se
cured by the territory if concerted action
be taken by the people, especially those of
the incorporated towns, who, it is not nec
essary to point out, are vitally concerned
in this matter, a3 it directly affects the
maintenance of good schools without a j
large increase in the volume of their local
taxation.

WOUNDED SOLDIER WRITES
TO OLD-TIME ALASKAN
ABOUT WAR EXPERIENCES
Although a large number of former Alas
kans are fighting in the European trenches,
few letters have been received from them by
their Northern friends, and those that have
been receiver! have- been of the most frag
mentary nature. Evidently the censorship
on sohliers' letters from the front is still
most rigid, and the correspondence of the
soldiers is not very illuminating. The cen
sorship seems to be relaxed somewhat in the
ease of soldiers in hospital in England, as
the following letter from one of them will
show. It was received by J. W. Hill, better
known throughout Alaska as "Jim” Hill
and a copy of it was forwarded to Iditarod
friends. The writer, D. Q. McGregor, for
merly resided in the Iditarod district, and
his many friends here will be interested in
reeding his rather thrilling account of his
experiences:
“North Evington War Hospital,
“Leicester, England, Sept. 30, 191G.
“Dear Friend Jim: Just a line to let you
know that I am very well, considering I was
wounded on the loth, close to Courcelettc.
This is a village on the hills between the
Ameri and Somme. On your maps it may
not he shown, hut it is north of Albert, on
the road to Baupamne. The American term
certainly applies to the fighting of that day
—it certainly was 'fierce.' I got my souvenir
early in the morning. We had gone ‘over
the top’ at half-past 5, and had gone
through the German first line with very'
little difficulty. Of course I am speaking of
our bit; as a matter of fact their sentry was
asleep. He was bayonetted and we swarmed
into their trench and set up our machine
guns in their communication trench. This
brought them out of their dugouts, and in
the dark, crowded up to the very muzzle of
the guns. They took no notice at first of
our cad to surrender, but after a few
spray's from the m. g. had filled the trench
with dead they thought better of it and
surrendered sa quickly as they could walk
past. I dare say you have read all of this,
so will not waste time giving you stale news.
However, to give you some idea of the bom
bardment as I saw it.
“After clearing all in sight we went on
about half a mile under the fire of our
guns and started to dig ourselves in in front
of their second line. We were quite safe,
for nothing alive could show about their
trench while the bombardment was on; to
see it one cannot think that hell itself let
loose could be any worse.
“We worked in twos, one digging and the
other holding and tying the filled sand bags.
We had to go back (some of us) for the
sand bags; each man had fifty in a bundle.
1 had made three trips, and I was sent back
for some shovels. On my way as I was
crossing their lately-vacated trench and
looking into a dugout, 1 thought I heard
voices, so I determined to interview with
a bomb. On my return, just as I was on
ti e point of starting on again, one of their
9 2 high-power shells dropped into the
trench about five yards from where I stood,
ft went clean through into the dugout and
exploded. I was knocked down by the force
of the explosion, but was up in time to
get clear of the falling debris, which con
sisted of great sticks and beams eight or
nine inches wide, iron bedsteads, tables,
chairs, rides, machine guns and ammuni
tion. and several whole corpses oi men just
killed, besides several fragments; one head
dropped at my feet as I watched, doing my
best to stand from under. It will give you
some idea of the force of this shell when I
tell you that the chalk shower was thrown
fifty feet into the air (the country here, is
all chalk, with from one to three feet of a
clay loam on the surface). It left a hole
twelve feet deep and eighteen feet across.
After looking along the trench for any live
ones, I spotted one—he was beating it for
our lines, so I haded him. He looked
around, threw up his hands and came to
ward me, talking German 19 to the dozen.
I do not speak it, but said in my best Ger
man, 'Get behind me, Satan.' He under
stood so well that he went to go behind me,
but when I called, 'Here, Fritz, you savvy
this (pointing to the point of the bayonet
and making a lunge at him). I pointed in
the directitn of our lines. He saw that he
had misunderstood me at first, so he said,
‘Yah, yah,’ and off he went, about fifteen
yards in front of me. We had hardly gone
fifty yards when one of their shells burst
in the air about fifty feet above me. I was
not hit, but a big splinter struck him in
the back of the neck, splitting his head and
opening him right down through the cheat
to the navel. I went on—dead 'urns don t
count here. Any of these fields look like
an old gold field—say like French or Gold
“Well I went on and got a half dozen
shovel, and delivered them, and was about
half way back for another load of sand bags
when I was plugged by a sniper from some
where on my right. The bullet went
through my thigh in front of my hip joint,
passing through and into my abdomen about
one-third of the distance between the right
groin and navel. I was very lucky, as it
didn't touch the bone or break the inside
lining of the abdomen. At the point of en
trance it is already healed, leaving only a
spot the size of the end of a pencil. At the
point of emergence there was a ragged
wound about three inches long. I will be
as good as new in a fortnight^ I was hit
about 7 o’clock and was in Etaples that
evening, in Boulogne next evening, across
the channel into England and here at 1
o'clock the next morning.
“Oh, they’re not so slow here as some of
our ‘proud’ friends would have us think. Oi
course the job over there is one that cannot
be done in a hurry. We are not doing l
like Von Kiuck on his rush march on l ar
—he forgot the German proverb, Langsam
aber sicher’ (slow but sure). That is he
way we are doing it. Of course we are
paying a terrible price, but nothing like th .
are. No one can describe the effect of our
artillery; one has to be in front of it to
know what it is like^ is^what all the pnson
ers tell us.” ^ q MacGREGOR,

WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO
A San Francisco dispatch says that W. A.
Clark, Jr., son of the multi-millionaire
copper magnate, says he is keeping two
million dollars to contribute to the allevi

close of the war. The sum, he states,
represents his profits in “war brides.”

ALASKA NEWS
Will Get All Mail
The postmaster at Fairbanks has been
notified by the second assistant postmaster
general that an order has been issued au
thorizing the chief clerk of the railway mail
service at Cordova to employ a carrier to
perform emergency service from Cordova
to Fairbanks for the transportation of not
exceeding 6.000 pounds of mail a month
from November 1, 1916, to March 31, 1917,
and not exceeding 2,000 pounds from April
1 to 10, 1917. This shows, says the News
Miner, that some fifteen tons of mail will
be sent to Fairbanks by emergency service
during the winter. This will clean up prac
tically all of the mail for Fairbanks, so
that everybody in the future will be sure
of getting their papers and magazines with
greater regularity, and it may be possible
to get in some parcel post also. Practically
it is a compliance with the demand for “all
the mail a l the time.”
O
A Luminous Porcupine
A Fairbanks newspaper is responsible for
the following: “A couple of Eagle river
prospectors, who had a can of luminous
paint in their outfit, caught a porcupine
and painted his quills. It is stated that
every native in the district who caught
sight of the animal at night has stampeded
the region.”
Kataan Made a National Monument
A Washington dispatch says that the
“Old Kasaan national monument,” consist
ing of thirty-eight acres within the Tongass
national forest, Alaska, has just been cre
ated by presidential proclamation, as the
result of recommendations made by the
secretary of agriculture. The tract em
braces the well-known abandoned Haidah
Indian village of Old Kasaan, situated on
Prince of Wales island, in southeastern
Alaska, about thirty miles west of Ketchi
kan. The village was abandoned by the
Indians about ten years ago. Among the
relies which remain are about fifty Indian
totem poles, five or six of which are
c!eased as exceedingly good specimens. In
the deserted village there are also eight large
square buildings, which were originally con
structed according to the peculiar plan of
the Haidah Indians, and which, it is stated
by those best qualified to know, represent
the best specimens of Haidah architecture
that now exist. The largest of these build
ings is approximately 40 bv 60 feet in sixe
and is made entirely of round and carved
timbers. There also remain a number of
Indian grave houses erected by the Indians.
Since the village was abandoned by the
Indians the buildings have bee* rapidly
falling into a state of dilapidation and de
cay, and a certain amount of vandalism by
tourists and souvenir hunters renders some
form of protection essential. An exami
nation of the area was made jointly by
representatives of the forest service and of
the interior department, and reports
stronply urging the establishment of a na
tional monument were approved by the
- ecret aries of both departments. The Smith
sonian Institution strongly indorsed the
proposition for the establishment of a na
tional monument. The new national mon
ument will be protected and administered
by the forest service, as is the case with all
monuments located within the national for
ests.

Stealing from Railroad a Felony
Before leaving Anchorage Captain Mears |
of the Ala<ka engineering commission di
rected the radroad officials to ask United
States Commissioner David to bind over
to the grand jury any person charged with
stealing from the government railroad or
attempting to defraud the road, says the
Seward Post of December 1. "It is not
generally realized that etealing from this
railroad constitutes more than petty lar
ceny," said Captain Mears. “It means
stealing from the United States, and is
punishable by a $5,000 fine, five years in
prison, or both. To take anything from
the government railroad is a felony. Just
before I left two men were arrested for
padding a payroll to the extent of $36, and
they will be taken before the next grand
jury. Recently a carpenter was caught
stealing a little flooring to complete a
cabin which he intended to rent and then
go Outside on the Crook for the winter. He
is serving six months in jail now. He was
fortunate at that, for had the order to
prosecute for the more serious offense come
sooner he would have a term at McNeil's
island to serve.”
A
Military Reserve n Resurrection Bay
By order of President Wilson, Rugged
island, in Resurrection bay, has been re
served for us« as a military reserve, says
the Seward Gateway, which says it indi
cates the intention of the government to
fortify the harbor or to establish a mili
tary post at least, but nothing further than
the act of withdrawal is stated in the order.
Rugged island is near the entrance of the
Druggisti Don't Want Booze
A Seward dispatch says that following
the victory of prohibition in the recent
election, Alaska druggists are pre
paring to send a lobby to Washington to
obtain from congress the passage of a “dry
law for Alaska which will protect all bona
fide pharmacists. The druggists wish all
liquor prohibited, and each drug store re
quired to register the amount of alcohol on
hand. They point to the fact that Ameri
can pharmacists no longer regard whisky
and brandy as medicines as a reason for
barring those liquids from drug stores.
The Indian Voter
Walter Shields of the bureau of educa
tion is satisfied that natives voted strongly
in the election at Unalakleet, says the Nome
Industrial Worker of November 14, lie
does not think that this is entirely right,
and in fact is downright in his opposition.
He says emphatically that this will lead to
all sorts of complications, should it be ad
mitted. He acknowledges that the law on
the subject is vague and indefinite, and so
has been informed by local federal au
thority. He says that he himself advised
against voting, and did so for very good
reason. He says that the natives are de
veloping strong racial solidarity, and ihis
instinct contends that the Eskimo consid
erations come first. He holds that for this
reason next election the Eskimo will con
trol the election; there are thousands of
them, and they will elect Eskimos to Ju
neau i He says that he thinks that some
of the natives are well fitted for the suf
frage, but the majority are not, and that
there should he some means whereby those
who are competent to vote should have
their right disposed of by the courts, and
if unfitted should he denied the privilege.
There has Keen considerable effort made
to bring this matter before congress, with
the intention of having a somewhat vexed
question settled with some definiteness, hut
the uncertainty of the entire problem at
to the right of the natives to vote is likely,
he thinks, to have a very demoralizing
political effect in the Second division. Be
ing the local head of the bureau of educa
tion, which holds dominion over the abo
rigines in this section, the opinions of Mr.
Shields were naturally received with con
siderable respect, although there was a pos
sibility of the political danger being magni
fied
m.
THE PARSON’S REPLY
The congregation criticized the parson far
using long words. He replied as follows:
“Respected Friends: My ora! documents
having recently been the subject of your
vituperation, I hope it will not be ari in
stance of vain eloquence or supererogation if
l laconically promulgate that, avoiding all
-;>ll gistical, aristocratical and peripatetical
propositions, all hyperbolical exaggerations
and extenuations, whether physically, philo
sophically, philologically, politically or po
lemicclly considered, either in my diurnal
peregrinations or nocturnal lucubrations
they shall be definitely and categorically as
similated with, and rendered congenital to,
the occuputs, caputs and cerebrums of you.

SAD LOT OF THE SOURDOUGH
(Anacortes American)
Old-timer, have you heard the news?
Alaska’s going to cut out booze, and hence
forth will that frozen clime subsist on pop
and seltzered lime, and miners from the
frozen hills in buttermilk will bathe their
gills, and Klondike Pete and Rough house
Liz will quench their thirst in kickless fizz,
and mushers chilled on Arctic tripe will
drink beef tea and smack their litis.
The roadhouse will no longer cheer the
trail-worn soul with hootch or beer; the
mining samp will silent be, except for min
ers drinking tea. No more they’ll seek
D. Rum of nights and get lit up like- North
ern Lights,'since none may buy or ste;l or
mooch one little shot of fiery hootch. And
Yukon Ike, the good old soul, will have to J
shinny up the pole, and soon we ll see Heli
Roarin’ Pete upon the water wagon's seat.
The sourdough, when he wants a drink,
will amble to the Yukon’s brink and quaff
a horn of H20, a harmless drink, as well
you know; then go his way in search of
gold and sing an ode to water cold; and
when be makes a stake he'll go to camp and
buy a drink or so of orangeade, near beer,
or lime, and swear he’s had a ripping time.
Not like the days of old—not much; John
Barleycorn is now in Dutch from Sitka to
the Arctic shore, and “forty-rod” will cheer
no more the hardy Argonaut, for he has
climbed the pole like you and me.

ALASKA’S MODEL CITIZENS
Andrew Stevenson, president of the Bank
ff Alaska, which operates banks at Skag
way, Juneau and Anchorage, was a recent
visitor in Seattle. Mr. Stevenson said that .
the most remarkable thing he found in j
•Alaska was the high standard of integrity |
and moral stability of its population. For j
instance, his banks, he said, had more than j
1.200 customers, yet they had not handled |
a single item of protested paper during the ,
past six months. Furthermore, there is a |
remarkable freedom from all forms of ruf- |
fianism and drunkenness so commonly as- :
sociated with frontier communities. For
instance. Anchorage had a Labor day cele
bration which attracted 9,000 persons, but
there was not one arrest for drunkenness
or disorderly conduct. That these facts
are contrary to common conceptions of
Alaska is all the wore reason that they
should be given publicity, Mr. Stevenson
thinks.—Pacific Banker.
