WANTS WOBBLY TEACHER
We haven’t the least idea who he is but we do have an j
" idea what may happen to the man, signing as Walter I
Jackinsky, treasurer of the Ninilchie school to a copy of
an alleged letter published in the July 2 issue of the Indus-1
trial Worker, Seattle.
The article or letter:
Here’s a chance for an I. W. W. school teacher to spend a few months
in Alaska and at the same time earn a neat little income. The Ninil
chic, Alaska, school has asked the Industrial Worker to advertise for &
Wobbly school teacher, about 25 years old, to teach nine months at $150
per month If any one knows of a teacher who would like to take on this
proposition, write to Walter Jackinsky, treasurer of Ninilchie school,
Ninilchie, Alaska.
In the first place the writer of the above letter will
be relieved of his job and secondly, his name—we’ll bet he
isn’t a citizen of the country good enough for him to make
a living in—will be placed on the debit side of all <5f Uncle
Sam’s official office records.
Think of it! Advertising for a Wobbly teacher to
instruct Alaska’s young. Preposterous! Yes, but ap-j
parantly true.
Out with him!
LEVEES THE BACKBONE
4 MIDST the wide discussion of flood control now going
** on, and the various methods being suggested for mak
ing the Mississippi Valley secure against repetition of this
year’s disaster, some recent observations by Secretary
Hoover stand out with clear significance
Mr. Hoover, in addition to being one of the ablest men
who ever served in a cabinet post, is an engineer by. pro
fession and therefore able to grasp the fundamentals of
the flood control problem.
He believes, as do the army engineers, that the only j
practical solution of the problem lies in providing higherj
and stronger levees. He has^little faith in reservoirs for
holding surplus waters, although he admits that they
would aid navigation. He recently said:
‘‘The recent flood would fill Lake Erie in two months, j
You can get an idea from that of the impossibility of
building reservoirs of sufficient capacity to take care of
the excess water. On the other hand, it is perfectly pos-*
sible to build levees to contain that water. The levee sys-1
tern must be the backbone of any practical program of
flood control.”

ALL SET FOR TIE
DREAMLAND SHOW
TONIGHT, SAKS MACK
LOCAL TALENT AND PROFESSION
ALS TO VIE WITH OTHER
THIS EVENING
With a large staff of carpenters,
painters and electricians, all under the
supervision of Sgt. Charles R. Evans
finishing a strenuous two days effort,
Dreamland hall is ready to comforta
bly accomodate an expected large at>
tendance of theatre goers tonight
when the Mack Comedy Vaudeville
Company, under the aupices of the
United States Army Signal Corps,
augmented by the pick of local talent,
including a harmony singing number
by members of the Jesse Lee Home
vocalists, a complete orchestra, that
will play selections between acts, all
presenting what gives -promise of
being as interesting an evening’s en
tertainment as has ever been witness
ed in Seward.
The program will consist of some
14 numbers being the best of the ex
tensive repertoire of the versatile
Mack Company and according to Man
ager Hart will include as variagated
an assortment of vaudeville as could
be desired. A local; touch will be pre
sented in the appearance of the Miss
es Roberta McIntosh, Neville, Sheldon,
and Rosness, who are important fact
ors in a tropical song and dance num
ber by Bobby Mack, while the Jesse
Lee Home singers will render several
favorite harmony songs. The pleas
ing surprise will be the first appear
ance with any show here, of a full
stringed orchestra, adding a metro
politan touch.
Bobby Mack, ever a favorite ftm
maker, promises some highly ludicrous
quibs and situations and claims his
sketch offering tonight is one of the
stage’s comedy masterpieces, it being
George Ade’s “A Horse on the Par
son.”

Madeline Lamont has a specially
selected program of popular and
operatic songs and this will be the
last opportunity of hearing her as she
leaves for the Outside to rejoin the
San Carlo Opera Company. Maxine
Kline, the graceful, versatile dancer
of the Mack aggregation, will have
the opportunity of the Dreamland
stage to present a program of dances
that were not fs^rmitted on account
of lack of stage space during her last
engagement here, and, by request will
present a new vfrsion of the famous
“Black-Bottom” dance
The performance will be worth
while, there is no question as to that
and, inasmuch as the proceeds go to
assist the Signal Corps workers to
make their post exchange more com
fortable and inviting, tonight’s show
deserves a packed house.
