FORD'S 1TBLK \TION
Sample conies of the Dearborn In

Weekly, were received by large numb
ers of Ala.-ka people in the last mail:
the idea evidently be*ng to invite sub
scriptions.
The Fowl publication is peculiar »*i
that it carries no advertising matter
of any kind, but i> strictiy limited to
reading matter and rather profuse il
lustrations of conspicious persons and
events.
“Mr. Ford’s own Page.’’ is reserv

his net theory that the best way to up

M . Lane is right in affirming that
one >f the most effective ways of deal
ing with industrial unrest is to edu
cate and thoroughly Americanize tin
illiterates. Kor tins purpose he p;o- 1

hood anti settlement courses in Eng
lish. civic, history and American ideas
and ideals.
The plan was first presented by tin*
secretary in an annual report. It was
discussed and approved over a year
ago at a national conference on Am
ericanization. Men and women who
have worked among immigrants and
know their mental habits are thorough
-ly convinced that without liberal
funds a*'d adequate machinery to p:o
mote Americanization all the talk
about tin* need of this process will
end in nothing.
The bill advocated by Mr. I.ane pro

funds would he used only for the pay
ment and training or teachers, supe:

DI KING COMING WINTER
General satisfaction was expressed
hroughout the camp when AI Walsh
arrived at Flat last Monday morning
from the Kuskokwim river with the
cheering news that the Northern Com
mercial Company’s new thousand-ton
power schooner Ozmo had safely
reached Rethel with a big cargo o!
supplies, all of which arrived in first
class condition, says the Iditaro I
Pioneer. There were about thirty
passengers aboard. The vessel made
the trip Corn Seattle to Rethel in fif
teen days. Resides catrying large
consignments of goods for miners an I
traders of the Kuskokwim valley, sup
plies were aboard for tin* fish packer-;
near the mouth of the river. Imme
diately after discharging eaigo and
taking on about .’>00 tons of fish, th**
Ozmo lost no time in “heating
hack to Seattle, from which port she (
is scheduled to sail on August 10 n*> j
b* • second voyage to Rethel. M •. j
Walsh says the schooner is a splendid I
vessel, equipped with a crude-oil hum- ]
ing engine of !’».'>() horse-power, opci
ating at a daily expense of not exceed
ing $ 1 for fuel oil. lie also learned
that the delayed arrival of the vessel ,
was due to the fact that she was tic
livered to the X. C. Co. thirty dn\ •
later than she should have been. Th •
;Y< <glit rate to Rethel is $.‘10 per ton
ant' to Seattle f:*.a. Rethel $10 per
Ion.
E. W. Parks and a party of six men
Mr. Glass and about a dozen employe,
going to Golden Gate falls for develop
merit work .and an expert enginee*
for Tom Aitken's Candle cioek
dredge, were on the Ozino's pnssen
ger list.
Mr. Walsh traveled from Rethel on
the steamer dan a (Captain Wallace
l.angley)as far as tin* mouth of Crook
ed river, and hiked overland to Flat
lie intends to return to Rethel shortly.
