UNIQUE SCHOOL BEING
CONDUCTED IN COLORADO
Carr, Colo., Nov. 25—With only
her brothers and sisters as pupils.
Miss Agnes Mantey, 20, today is
conducting on her father's ranch sov
en miles north of here the most uni
que school in the state of Colorado.
The school was established recently
and despite the small number of
pupils is a grade and high school
of equal standing with the biggest
schools in the state.
Miss Mantey was regularly appoint
ed to her position by the school di
rectors and, draws a salary of $G0
a month from the county treasurer
just like any other public school
teacher. The school district stood
the expense of fitting up the single
classroom and Mantey's sons are the
official janitors of the building
The school was established at the
Mantey house when Mantey and
his wife represented to the school
directors that their ranch wob five
miles from the nearest school build
ing and that the Mantey children
would grow up in ignorance unless
the public authorities acted.
Six Mantey children are enrolled
in the grade schools and one in the
high school. Three of the Mantey
children are under school age but it
is said the district, under pressure,
may pay for installing a kindergar
ten for them. The only pupil in th«
high school is Mary, 15, but thtT
enrollment will be increased to two
when Martha 12, graduates from tli
eighth grade next June and is awar
ed a grade school diploma. The on
ly ripple in the calm course oi the
school occurred when Teacher Ague,
claimed the right to inflict corporal
punishment and was firmly resisted
by her mother who clalincd that pri
ilege exclusively. There has been
no hazing so far.
MICHIGAN ALUMNI START
UNDERGRAD LOAN FUND
Seattle, Nov. 25—The Seattle Ai
i mni association of the University
of Michigan has set up a loan fund
of $15u for the use of students in
the University of Washington; also
the Wolverines have given $50 to
the Washington cre\r, a duplicate of
the gift they made to the oarsiueu
last spring, when the Pouglikeepsie
trip was in prospect.
The money for the loan fund and
the gift is the profit which resulted
from the concert given by the Mich
igan Glee club here last winter un
der the auspices of the Seattle Al
umni association. When all expen
ses are met, the Michiganders found
themselves $200 in pocket, as an as
sociation, and set about devising
means of utilizing it to the best ad
vantage.

MOVING PICTURE PHOTOGRAPHER
TELLS OF THE I'M! TIL
Dr. L. S. Sugden, well known here
and in Wliitehorse, where he has
for the past sixteen years been en
gaged most of the time in mining,
and was among the first of the
stampeders into the Alsek, Kluane
and Burwash strikes of several
years ago, is back iu Whitehorse af
ter a four months' trip through the
newly discovered gold fields of Chls
ana and surrounding country. Dr.
Sugden is a graduated physician,
highly intelligent and perfectly fam
iliar with conditions as they now ex
ist and as they have existed in the
interior for years. He is truthful
and not given to exaggeration, and
we have no hesitancy iu accepting
his words as truthful iu the follow
ing interview published in the White
horse Star of the 21st:
"We left Wliitehorse with a singl
horse and light rig and niacin fine
time to Lake Kluane in spite of
breaking the front axle on the Kuf
tawulsh meadows. * * *
"We could not buy any grub for
love or money. Hearing that Bones
had gono over with his party to
Chisana after bear we followed to
see if he had grub enough to carry
us all through tne season. We lo
cated his camp about S miles from
discovery in the new diggings, he
was short, os we had to turn back
and hike for McCarthy. The trail
was lined with people, parties were
galloping all over the tundra betwee
the White and Chisana, it reminded
me of '07 and '9S.
Wo went by the Scolal Pass ana
Chitistone. I will describe this and
ihe other routes in lectures in con
nection with our pictures at a lat
er date. We saw that this stampede
was liable to assume large propor
tions and "be of historical interest,
and also tangible visuai existence in
regard to the different trails, and
their impassable condition except
during the middle summer months.
And so after getting an outfit at
McCarthy we devoted our time to
taking pictures over all the trails.
We took a great many pictures.
There was practically no summer,
the worst season I have seen in IS
years; the conditions were very bad
from a photographic standpoint. If
our pictures turn out so that they
can be seen at all I can divert 90
per cent of the travel this way for
the spring and winter season. The
only summer route for any outfits
outside of light foot-passengers and
pack animals is down the Yukon
and up the White by steamboat,
thence 70 miles to the diggings.
The McCarthy trail is 90 miles long,
It may sounc 4aradOvical but 300
miles is sometimes shorter than 90.
We saw the Hazelet party who were
sent in by the Cordovians to stake
a route over tho Nizina and Chis
ana glaciers, they failed to get
through—the Cordovians are a won
derful bunch. Alive to the great ben
efits to be derived from a stampede,
they subscribed $5,000 in twelve
hours to send Mr. Hazelet in just
to look up a trail. They have since
subscribed a like amount as a pub
licity fund and are going to get the
business if not checked in the right
manner.
"About 2,000 men and some wo
men went in by McCarthy, the Co
per River & N. W. railway had
men working on all the trails, they
have had a taste of what stampede
money is like, and it savors very
much of milk and honey, and they
want some more.
There are only two sure ways of
going in this winter, namely, via
Skagway, Whitehorse, lKuane and
Horsfelt, and by Skagway, White
horse the Dawson trail and up the
White.
"""What about the McCarthy trails?
"There are no McCarthy trails in
winter, three death traps that's all
they have."
"Are you aot putting it rather
strong, Doctor?" "Am I a darned
i Cheecbaco, I know what I am talk
ing about. I've lost paradise driv
ing dogs on some of the toughest
trails in the north; but what's the
ase; wait and »,ee our pictures, they
will speak for themselves. Yes I
am going to deve.op and print day
and night, and when ready will show
here. If we can get an audience of
course.
"We came out by the Jenerk,
Donjek, Kluane route. The trail
.s in better shnpe than I have ever
seen it. The White Pass launch was
at ♦he lake and is being rapidly as
sembled. We came in by the Royal
Mail stage line, operated by Harry
Chambers, In five days, and had a
fine trip.
