AXOHORAGK. ALASKA. MONDAY. APRIL .'50, 1!)17.
BURDEN WILL NOT BE HEAVY.
Tin* Alaska legislative assembly lias passed a measure al
lowing 75 percent out of territorial funds for the maintenance
of public schools in incorporated towns in Alaska. We under
stand that Anchorage and Xenatia, will be considered as “in
corporated towns.” within the meaning of the law as passed,
and that they will receive 75 per cent of the cost of school main
tenance from the territory, the remaining 25 per cent to come
from local taxation. If our information is correct, tin* burden
on local rate payers will not lie heavy. Assuming that the
maintenance expense for a year will aggregate $20,000, we
shall have to raise by taxation only $5,000 of the amount. W’e
can well afford to pay this amount. W’e must have good schools.
That goes without saving. And we must expect to have to
i>av something for their upkeep.
It may not lie generally known, Imt il is a fact nevertheless
that the valuable far animal known as the heaver, i» native to
the region lying hack of Tvonie ami exists in numbers then*.
In order to protect the heaver from total extinction in that
country, the government placed a ban on the killing of the ani
mal fora given period, until 1 !•'_!(). we believe. Tin* native pop
ulation has shown due regard for this regulation and as a eon
sequence the animals have* shown a healthy and encouraging
increase. Now comes the information that a company of for
eigners has visited the beaver grounds and have taken main
beaver skins, that will probably be offered for sale to local fur
dealers. There is no fur warden in this community. The game
warden has nothing to do with fur-bearing animals. In this
situation, it is up to private individuals to act, to the end that
those guilty of a violation of this important regulation -hail
be punished to the full extent of the law. If any of tiles** Inis
arc offered in the local market, let those offering them for sale
be apprehended.
Rumors are current today to the effect that the steamshi|
lines have raised the freight and passenger rates between Se
attic and Alaska ports. Impiiry at tin* local offices reveals that
the local agencies have received no official information with re
spect thereto. For tin* sake of the development ol Alaska, we
hope there will be no further increase in the passenger and
freight rates maintaining. They are unite sufficiently high
now. and any further increase will but tend to lessen traffic.
What Alaska needs at this time is population. The territory
■ ■an never develop as it should Ik* developed, by a mere handful
of people, comparatively speaking. While we have but thou
sands, there is room for millions. And the steamship line
arc* vita 1 lx concerned in Alaska's development. Fvery addi
tional person that comes to Alaska means future business for
the transportation lines, in that it will require that much more
freight in the way of food and clothing.

Vol. 1. No. 243. ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, 4th and D
APRIL RECORDS ARE NOW IN
A Victrola can make the home a church, an opera house, a recital hall,
a theatre, a vaudeville show, symphony hall—and yet it makes the Home a
better Home than ever!
We have just received a record by Mischa Elman—The “Orientale" by
Ce’sar Cui. A'ou must hear it to fully appreciate the charm of this piece.
We have heard so much recently of Mme Galli Curci, that we were very
anxious to hear her sing. Her rendition of the Valse Aria from Romeo and
Juliet is wonderful. It brings back memories of Melba, Sembrich and
I'inkert at the Metropolitan and Manhattan Opera. She also sings "Home
Sweet Home” in English, and I’d just as soon have her record as Patti’s.
John McCormack sings "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling.” Whoever
heard Chauncey Olcott in "The Isle of Dreams” will be glad to hear this song
again and particularly the man who has charmed the continent with the sun
shine and radiance of his presence almost as much as with the wonder of
his lyric tenor voice.
Herbert Witherspoon sings “Arm, Arm, Ye Brave,” from Handel’s Ora
torio, “Judas Maceabalus.” The oratorio was composed in 174<> and is one
of the most magnificent of Handel’s works.
For the lovers of chamber music we have a double record “The Vacant
Chair,” and “I Can Not Sing the Old Songs.” The two melodies are both
quiet reveries which lend themselves to the ethereal beauty of Violin, ’Cello
and Piano combination.
And then for a change we have some delightful rag One-Steps. Some
thing new—on a piano. About twenty-three centuries ago Aristoxenous of
Tarontum said about all that is worth saying about rhythm. Nevertheless,
we imagine that Mr. Aristoxenous would be astonished if he could hear some
of his theories tried out in modern ragtime as played by Harry Thomas on
the Piano—Imagine the philosopher dancing a modern One-Step! Yet the
music can’t make your feet behave.
The latest popular hits—‘The Miracle of Love,” "The Magic of Your
Eyes,” and "Mv Rosau for You,” Hawaiian Songs and Guitars, "Our Old
Friend Mr. Goldstein Who Is Arrested for Speeding,” Swedish, French, Rus
sian, Polish, (1 reek and Yiddish records—are opened up and ready for your
inspection and trial.
We have a contract with the Victor people for new records coming out
every month and will announce them as they come in.
