| CITY COUNCIL
URGES RECOGNITON OF
IRISH REPUBLIC
_
1 The adoption of a motion which had
|as its ultimate object the iwssage of a
councilmnnic resolution requesting the
! Aliuska liPijislAlure to memoria!i‘/.e
[t'ongress to recognize the embryonic
"Irish republic." was the chief feature
Nome Common Council. This some
what surprising: plunge of the council
into the sea of international politics,
was the result of tin appeal made to
the council body by M. J. Walsh, who
offered on behalf of the Knight's of
Robert Knwnct a strong plea for sup
port for the Infant republic:' n govern
which t 1m* sons and daughters of FJKn's
permanent world institution.
Thn council met around tlie usual
hour with :dj hut one of the city dad's
on hand to answer the roll call. The
missing member was councilman It.
ftaelson. Following the usual opening
routine, the reports of the City Clerk
and City Treasurer wag read ;md or
dered fll«d. The council then turned
its attention to a report by the Trans
portation and Harbor Committee rela
tive to the lighterage situation, which
is ap)KLTently no closer to resolution
than before. The committee report
through its chairman. Coune.lmaa
Tarnutzcr, that, some one had secured
an option on the lighterage plant of
the Alaska Lighterage and fomnwr
cial Company and the committee had.
therefore, concluded to defer any ac
tion in the. matter until the outcome
of the option was determined. The
identity of the option holier was not
indicated. In 1he discussion it devel
oped that the option was scheduled
to terminate April 10.
The council next devoted Itself to
nunvastUng the vote cast at the recent
municipal and school board election
and passed resolutions declaring the
successful candidates duly elected.
At the conclusion of this perfunctory
duty. City Attorney Hugh O'Neill an
nounced to the council that Mr. WaJsh
was r’res<nt and desired to uddruss the
bod> . The latter informed the. coun
cil that he. appeared on behalf of the
Knights of Robert Kramet. with a view
to enlisting action toward securing
recognition by the United States of the
“Irish Republic." Mr. Walsh stated
that a general movement, is in pro
gress all over this country to induce
eivie councils and legislative bodies to
meinuralize Congress in this relation.
The speaker drew attention to various
phases of the Irish situation and re
ferred in forceful manner to the long
continued i ffort of the Irish io secure
freedotin and self government. In con
clusion he urged the council to adopt
resolutions requesting the territorial
legislature to urge congressioncJ re
cognition of the "Irish republic."
City Attorney O’Neil! told the coun
cil in response to a question by on?
of the members that he bad investi
gated the subject and found that, the
council could rightfully puss re.xolu.
tlorvs of such character. .This point
resolved, (lounvililuin tieerge S. May
nard arose and. offered a motion for
I the appointment of a. committee to
>draft suitable resolutions. The motion
■was (Xtased without dissent. Mayor
iKice named Councilman. Maynard,
i sponsor of the motion, as chairman of
the*, committee and Counci Uhnen Kd
Tarnutzer and Chus. Cavey as asso
ciate members.
The transaction completed, the.
council adjourned until Thursday.
April. 21. at which time the present
body will clean up its business and
retire in favor of the new council.

ALASKA SCHOOL TO BE AGEf#
IN PUBLICITY MOVE
T«> use Alaska schools as a means
of conveying real Information about
the Territory through the media of
letters written by students in various
grades to students in schools in the
St<tes who have indicated a desire to
exchange correspondence is proposed
by I*. TV Henderson. Territorial Com
missioner of Rducation. He sets forth
his Idea in a recently issued bulletin '
to teaching staffs in a. number ofj
schools located in several towns in Al-;
GIVING ALASKA PUBLICITY |
Thi* bulletin with:
"This office, from time to time, re- .
cr ives bundles of letters written by l
the pupils of some grade in one of th> |
schools of the States with n request
that they be Riven a similar grade in
sonic Alaska school for reply. Llke
wise. various Alaska schools receive
letters from schools on the Outside.
In many cases the teachers consider
the time spent in answering such let
ters poorly spent. Such a plan of in
terchanging letters wonld seem, how
ever. to bo highly advantageous from
not only a pedagogic standpoint but
also from a standpoint of removing
from the minds of some of the resi
dents of tiie States some of the lead
ins; fallacies and misconceptions ro
"ln so far as the former is enn
c* rued a very direct motive rs provld'-t
for training in expression through let
ter writing which is one of the most
important and largely used forms of
composition. As for the letter, real
facts can be substituted for the grossly
exaggerated ideas now existing es
pecially if teachers exercise some de
gree of supervision over the work and
encourage, children to discuss climate,
resources, commercial pnssdhill ties and
general advantages, not. only of the
• (immunity in which they reside but
niso in their section of Alaska and In
Alaska as a whole.
"We are gahig to suggest, there
fore. that such an interchange or let
ters be made n definite part of tile
work in Language a.nd Orography dur
ing the remainder of the school year
and that the Alaska schools take the
initiative and select schools in com
munities situated in many parts of
the States foe such an Interchange of
romwpondenee. The ■same type of let
ters which is sent to the sixth grade
of certain Oolomdo schools by the
sixth pff-a.de pupils of the Ketchikan
schools may also be sent to cert i.a
Iowa schools, and to schools In other
status. It will fac-ilitate matters if
the superintendent or teacher takes
charge of all letters and send them in
one package to the superintendent or
to the teacher of the grade with which
correspondence Is sought
CORRESPONDENCE URGED
"In view of the fart that especial
effort is being put forth to make Al
aska and things Alaskan familiar to ill.
school children In the Territory, an
interchange oI letters among the var
ious schools is also suggested. Such
a practice, in addition to increasing
the knowledge of each correspondent. (
would do much toward increasing that
feeling of unity which in to a great
patent kicking among the residents of
the Territory and without which the
highest degree of development can
not be reached.
"Such Interschool correspondence
should pave the way for an inter
change of photographs, products and
other materials which will be highly
interesting and educational. The
schools which secure one of the large
ears of yellow corn for which Iowa
and Illinois are famous, cotton hatls
from Alabama, wheat from the Tanana
River Valley, reindeer moss from Sew
ard Peninsula and coal from Flska or
Chlckaloon will have added much to
the sum total of Its interest to the
children who attend it. By such a
practice k will be easily possible for
schools to Build up a museum which
will l>e of great educational value.
“I trust that the importance of the
suggestions which _ this letter brings
to you is apparent and that each school
will take advantage* of the opportunity
fop increased efficiency which the ac
tion suggested affords. ”
BACHELORS OF ANCHORAGE IN
REVOLT, PREPARE TO
IMPORT MANY BRIDES
The wonn has turned.
The eligible bachelors, widower?*,
grass widowers, sourdoughs, etc., etc.,
have taken stops to lift the blockade
and take onto themselves divers and
sundry ribs missing since the day
Adam slept.
The Associated Press has been ask
ed to herald the nows throughout the
world that there are from fifty to one
hundred A-1 husbands awaiting an
equal number of blushing brides !n
Anchorage.
The heroic charge of the wifeless
brigade came a/ter much indiging
wherein said sundry and divers will
ing- to-be-grooms ;illcge they have
been overlooks by the fair se*. who
have shown a wooful lack of apprecia
tion of the finer points in a good spec
imen of the male gender, and have let
some of the best husbands out of cap
tivity slip through their hands, all to
the char-gin and against the d'gnlty
ami peace of the community.
The “Bridegrooms’ Club** has been
organised, and its headquarters are at
the Anchorage Hotel. .Tust who Is the
instigator of the revolt against single
blessedness, deponent sayeth not. but
the fact remains that henceforth sour
doughs and sourdough-nuts Intend to
hold their chin higher and bestow only
patronising glances instead of sheep
Here are the rules and modus oper
and: of the “Bridegroom C*ftib“:
twenty-five brid<s ranging from flup
pers to mature matrons were wanted

‘9*iuy the field" appears to epitomize
the choice of types. Two would-be
benedicts wimt orphans, three want
widows, three desire flappers, weak in
the head and strong on jazz, three de
sire petita blondes and three ask for
brunettes: all want helpmates capable
of composing a rhapsody of mulligan
stow in lieu of a nocturne of jazz and
syncopation.
And *tis said the indiging Is not
without reflection in other quarters
where the fair sex are gathering the
hammers for the anvil chorus, and
where the expression: “Why, the very
ideal" mingles with other and ambigu

uptilt of dainty noses and haughty toss
of heads.
“Tsh kablbble!” retort the heroes of
unnny years of single blessedness.
MINES INSPECTOR OESCRIBES
INTERIOR LODE STRIKE8
In his annual report for the year
1920, R. I>. Stewart. Territorial Min
ins Inspector, devotes censiderahlo
space to discussion of the lode mining
activities of the Nixon Fork district
of the upper Kuakokwlm and the Kan
tishna district In the Mt. MuKinlif
region and asserts that the develop
ment taking place in both areas pre
sages beginning of lode mining on a
large scale Jn the interior of Alaska.
“Hitherto this branch of mining
has beem carried on only to an almost
negligible extent in the Interior” the
report, says. “While these, two dis
tricts cannot be said to be proven as
permanent lode mining tumps, devel
opments thus far prosecuted hold forth
the promise that they will ultimately
become such.
“The deposit in the Nixon *T>rk re

this district during 1920. it Is estimat

independent prospectors were at
Regarding the promising Kantishna
district, che report says:
"In the Kantishna district a great
deal of Jode prospecting was carried
on over a. wide area and with most en
couraging results. About seventy flvo
prospectors and miners were engaged
in th;i« work during the 1920 season.
Most of the men were working tn
ilependentry and a number of excellent
finds were made. The surface out -
rrops in this district consist largely of
high grade galena and gray copper ore
l)earing a high precentage of silver.
Approximately 700 ton* of this surface
are was shipped to the Selby smelter
it San Francisco during 1920. and an
Kiual amount, or more, will undoubt
edly be mined during the present win
