SCHOOL OI'KVS
The opening of school In the fall
is a big event in the life of the boys
and girls and not of less moment to
the mothers of the community.
Mothers would be noting for school
oven if there was Lot the emphasis
placed upon tiie vrlue of education
since school gives \hetn the relief
from wondering ant sometimes wor
rying where children are.
Skagway i.» justly phased with the
work done by our school in prepar
ing the youth for t..e ..igher studies
many of them tak< up and for the
life of labor in various lines which
others pursue. An earnest endeavor
is made to give th? children every
thing possible and helpful within the
limits of time and ueans at hand
One is unite safe in saying that our
children here receive everything re
quisite for the grales and most of
the high school wcrk. The stardingi
which our Public School scholars
take when they go 'o t>e schools in
the state.- give full evidence of that
fact. We have excellent school and
are reasonably projd of the work
done.

The Juneau City Council and the
Forestry Service combined iu mak
ing a trail from Jjneau to tbe top
of Mt. Roberts. The trail is complet
ed and is being use- by hundreds of
people for pleasure trips. On a re
cent day more than one hundred
were counted as having taken the
trail to the summit.
People. who never set away from
the sea level cannot appreciate what
an inspiring view can lie had from
an elevation of a f iw thousand foot
in this wonderful country. It means
labor to make the vimciits out its
labor which yields a lar&e ;«juirn.
People speu dhundiods of dollars to
go to Kurope to se views which are
no better than we have within two
hours walk of our doors.
It is to be hoped that other towns
will co-operate wUh the Forestry
Service iu other piojects of this
kind, in other town*.
Our Denver Auto trail should be
pushed for completion next year. Tiio
A. B. Trail, made by volunteer laoor
of Alpluers is a stioke in the right
direction, but the upper reaches of
A. 13. will require labor 'o put It
within reach of the corpuleut and
easily discouraged. Lower Dewey
should be widened, improved anu
cleaned up. A ridge trail along the
bluff overlooking ths track as far lh«
bunkers would b a splendid addition
to what we now hai e. This would be
within reach of tl.jse who do not
want a strenuous climb.
Two Million Club Women Awake to Fact
That Good Roads Benefit Everyone
By MRS. JOHN D. SHERMAN. Executive Board. Road Division. A. A. A.
One of the most important activities of the Cimeral Federation of
Women's clubs ii its work for a greater development of the roads and
highway* of the nation. The two million of the federation are fully
aw ;ike to t'.ie fact that good roads are a benefit to everybody. They save
the farmer time and money. They decrease the cost of food to the con
sumer. They help to increase school attendance. They stimulate travel,
outdoor life, and acquaintance with the country.
la this connection the federation is actively supporting the plans of
the National Park-to-Park Highway association for the establishment of
a national park-to-park highway which will pass through ten western
state? an i connect eleven national parks. Th < will he a great system of
interstate routes and means much for the education and pleasure of the
American people. Those who travel this highway will gain a better
understanding and appreciation of the potential resources of the great
west and the rare scenic beauty of the parks will he a lasting inspiration.
Good roads also minimize the isolation of the farm by making possi
ble greater sot ial intercourse. A vital need of today is the establishment
oi a better understanding between the women of the urban and rural
communities and good roids is an important factor in bringing this about
Two Kinds of Lawyers, Those of the Old School
and Those of the New
By ROGER SHERMAN, Vice-Pres't 111. Bar Ass'n.
The profession of law can regain much that it has lost in the eonfi
dem e of the public if lawyers will establish business methods and business
and deal with questions submitted to them less as professors of law
as welt.
There are today two kinds of lawyers, those of the old school and
those of the new. . . . The lawyer of the old type occupies a dingy,
dark, dusty room in an unattractive building. The client and the book
agent walk from the hall directly into his mom.
With the lawyer of the new school, it is different. . . . Everything
is clean; uo dust is visible: no papers are exposed to view. The lawyer
the client or prospective client came to see sit- before a flat-topped desk
that has no books on it and no papers, except those on which he is working
at the time. An office boy brings in the papers that may be required and
restores them to their file in the vault when they are no longer needed.
There is no delay in finding the papers.
Jn due course, within 30 or 60 days, the client receives a bill showing
in general terms the services rendered. It indicate.- on its facc that in
making the charge the sender then had in mind just what services had
been rendered, the time required, the importance of the transaction and
the n-sult accomplished. The fact that the bill was sent promptly and that
the barge is fairly high does not in the least offend the client, because
fron; his entrance into the bailding to the receipt of the bill he was im
pressed witk the fact that the lawyer knew two things, his client's business
and his own. The client "got mrviee"—the thing he wanted above every
thing else—and is willing to pajf the ynw.

INTO SEATTLE
Seattle. Sept. 2.—J., J. Biggens,
and H. W. Cole, <ederal narcotic
agents, who have tnen investigating
conditions in Alaska fur several
weeks past, have iiade some start
ling discoveries, which are the sub
ject of a long repcrt that has been
sent to federal authorities at Wash
ington. Tliey sura up their conclu
sions, briefly, as fellows:
"Fleets of small rakish sailing
craft comprising several hundred
vessels rigged as tishermen and
manned by crews of armed piratical
smugglers are now plying among the
islands along the Njrth Pacific coast
between Puget Soui d and Southeast
ern Alaska laden with morphine, co
caine and opium, lc the Interests of
probably the greatest dope traffick
ing syndicate opera.lng lu this hem
isphere."
Biggens and Cole visited Ketchi
kan, Juneau, Valdej, Skagway, Pet
ersburg and Sitka, and in small
boats, went inland to a dozen can
nery villages. TLi two narcotic
agents claim the distinction of hav
ing made the first raids ever con
ducted in the NortLeru territory for
dope.
Leaving nere secretly nearly nvo
months ago. Biggens and Cole, with
the co-operation of he United States
marshals, deputies and district at
torneys, made a series of raids, suc
cessful iu many instances; on Alaska
seaport towns and inland river fish
ing villages, seizing opium smoking
paraphernalia, breaking up hop par
ties and destroying the evidence on
the spot.
"We arrested nooody," said Big
gins. "We weren't after the smok
ers, who are all Chinese employed in
the lish canneries.'
It was fro mUnited States Cus
toms men at Ketciii.i:'.n, Biggins said
that he learned of \he operations of
the smuggling "fishing" fleet.
"These customs men who have
been watching operations," Biggins
said, "told me it was their theory
that the smugglers take their dope
cargj at Prince Ilmert, B. C., where
it coines from the Crient, then carry
it into the islands, eventually to he
placed on board vessels bound from
Ketchikan to Seattle. The force of
customs agents at Ketchikan is
small. It is comparatively easy to
load dope there."
It is expected action will he taken
by official Washington.
Keep the Baby Quiet at Night.
netting up in tin- night to quiet mi
uneasy baby Is not the joke (hat si>me
comic writers represent It to he. A
young husband discovered this in case
of his first-born and the means he
t<d>k to overcome the difficulty won
I him a prize In a coutesi lu new uses
for electricity.
The only means of quieting this
baby, who was ailing, was to move
him up and down, gently, in the low
er part of the crib the father fastened
the motor of a discarded electric fan
From a una 11 pulley on the motor he
ran a belt to a larger pulley on a
short shBft, at the other end oT which
he rigged a crnnk. Then he extended
a connecting rod to the center of the
frame that supported the springs and
mattress.
The motor, when started, moved
springs, mattress and baby up ami
down about an inch, smoothly, gently
and regularly. It proved entirely sat
isfactory to the baby, who Is now
one year old. healthy and happy, and
he has never got his parents out of
bed at night sluce the apparatus was
installed.
Remarkable Old Beliefs.
Since the age of legend, thunder
and lightning making lias always been
made the tlinil proof of the supernat
ural. Thor and Ills huge hummer,
which accounted for the thunder to
the old Norsemen, and Jove or Jupiter,
who hurled his lightning and thun
der In anger and thus explained this
natural phenomenon to the old Greeks
and Romans, are only two of the
hundreds of instances in ancient be
lief.
[ In later times the brand of magi
cian and evll-c'oer was put upon many
alchemists, with rmuors that spitting
tongue* of fire and crashes of thunder
were seen and heard in their labora
tories.
A Sufficient Excuse.
There was a wild and frenzied scut
termeut. Meu, wlilte-faced and stur
tag-eyed, fled as if pursued by a pes
tilence. They dropped whatever they
had in hand and stood not upon the
order of their goiug. but departed
like frightened roebucks, hitting only
the high places as they went.
