SKAGWAV SCHOOL
Loyalty and outhusiasm on the
part c£ tlie graduating pupils for
tlio Skagway Schools and the touch
ers *u whom bus been entrusted! the
laborious task of guiding tha foot
sieps of the yyungei gentry of thio
community, speaks for the work
that has been don* by the schools
the past year.
It 's 'ha commcu oonsunsua of
opinion of those in nearest fo^ch
with the school of this uity that
the work done by the faculty Is on
a par if not above thud dona by
other schools in Al-aska. Thlg bo
ccmes jii the xaorQ minified by
the fact that the Skagway schools
are operated at less cost per oapi
'a iK-r month than any school op
erating In the northland. .
The work of the domestic science
classes was evidenced. by the beauti
ful dresses worn by the inombers of
tue graduating clasus last night. It
is understood that they made and
Mltd their own ga^m^nts at a cost
to nvt exceed fiva dollars. IScouomy
(It'illtU into young ladies who some
day will be sponjsois tor the keep
ing ot a home and .co-operative
■awrit with the earning mt-Hiber of
the family is a trait that every
succeboiui mother or wife should
'Ksstss. It is worthy of commenda
tion to l^arn that, the basic prin
ciples for this foundation are be
ing laid in the schools of Skag
way by the pupils.
The manual training department
serve a purpose *»'h the boys
wli'ch can be filkd by no othar
course. As the yc<>r has advanced
and the work *urntd out by tne
N5vs has been, dsiplayed to the
school board they could not but
hel^i be thankful that they had
advocated the adoption of that
course 10 the school curriculum.
All >u all tha Skagway schools
are in a auleudid condition.. The
pupils are loyal u> the school ai*d

and tax payer in 'hj district.
ALASKA COAL LEASES
After having been tied up beyond
tha possibility of use for something
like eight or nine years, there is
now a chance that the coal fields
of Alaska may be developed. The
departingJt of interior has at l"st
perfected regulations under which it
is prepared to lease considerable
areas in both the Bering river and
the Marsnuska coal fields, providing
capita] is williug to enter upon the
work of ilevelopment.
The regulations seem fair enough.
Leases ruu for fifty years, which is
ab( ut *.ie ordinary life-time of cor
porations rreated under the laws
of many states. The royalty of 2
cents a ton for the first five years
and a cents a ton thereafter is ex
tremely moderate. In any event it
is a caarga certain to *>e passed on
to the consumer. The form of the
lease is -fn general that prevailing ia
private ownership in the West Vir
ginia coal fields.
These regulations will not deter
capital irom entering the field,
providing there is fair assurance
tha* the mining companies will not
thereafter be harassed by constant
interference in their business and
attempts at even closer regulation
of it. The field is an tnvKii^ one
in many respects, although the re
wards fcr caipital investment will
reach vo such magnificent' figures
as were given in the fantastic esti
mates of professional conservation
ists, who succeeded for so many
years in keeping the coal resoucas
of Alaska locked utp, for the bene
fit of fuel producers elsewhere.
The opening of the coail mines of
the Matanoska field, as a business
proposition, is essential to the
profitable operation of the railroad
which the government Is now build
in* in Alaska. They will ba the
main source of tonnage for that
road. The private corporation
whkh originally undertook that oon
etruetion was forced into iaavltaiblt
bankrunity. after some eighty miles
of road uas baea built, because oi
the wli hrtrawal af all tlie coal lands
from ja-rket and tUa tying u.p ot
the lauds for an, Indefinite preiod
iu reaorva.tioaa, preventing tlie pos
sibility of tlieir developaneiiit.—P. I.
.SIUIKK EFFECTS IS
The news that tjie longshoremen
have refused to declare a truce and
load the many dhips that are lay
ing at *J»e docks in Seattle for car
goes to tie loaded to the aerrUilaud
douudb as if they meant whan, they
said aud that they would otaiid oul
for their demands.
.Mere or lesa comment tuia been

It comes just a.- the season of
the year that business begins to
break with us in Alaska. The tour
ist trade is jus»t ou tlie verge of
coming to our shores. Stores are
laying in their fall and winter sup
plies. Already it hsts 'bec-n report
ed that there is a shortage on same
of the commonest table vegetables.
A se'.tllng of the strike will t>e wel
comed b^ the peoplf of Skagway
and nearby vicinity.
\'ow that Superintendent: Hahn
has publuly commented on the pos
sibilities of reducing the cost of
wornens dresses, we are here to
•take cur gold dUBt that every wife
In town nas been told of how cheap
ly it can be done.
In addressing the graduating
class the spokesman outlined brief
ly the true philosophy of life. Liv
ing for hapipine s and to make oth
ers hart>y and the achievement of
ones ambitions.
Many a man in the audience
agreed witto V. I. Hahn when he
said thai the young man would be
fortunate to claim ae a life's oom
pauioa with any of th:*t bevy of
b lutiful voung girls.
We note that the graduating
class appreciate 'he efforts of the
Daily Alask&n ia giving them pub
licity. We aTe at all times more
fhan willing to give publicity to an
inititutiou whlcJi turns out sMeh fin
boys and girls to take a place in

Why go to a show when we have
