Law to Amend
Nome Situation
To relieve a grave emergency at
Nome arising from the (lecisoin of
i he Alaska Lighterage Company not
to .operate its lighterage plant there,
the House this morning under sus
pended rules passed a bill emend
ing existing statutes so as to auth
orize municipalities to own, operate
and control lighterage businesses.
The bill was introduced by Repre
sentative O. D. Cochran, of Nome,
at the request of Mayor Charles
Itice.
Mayor nice, in a telegram to Mr.
Cochran stated that the Alaska
Lighterage Company had advised
Nome that it would not operate this
season. As all freight coming into
Nome for Seward Penissula points
from the South is handled by light
ers between ship and shore, and as
there are no other practical means
of handling the freight, Mayor Rice
stated that it was necessary for the
city to take quick action. At a mass
meeting of Nome citizens, it was de
cided to finance the undertaking lo
cally and ask the Legislature to
pass a law enabling the city to en
ter the lighterage business.
After reciting the facts, Mr. Coch
ran was given unanimous consent to
introduce the bill which was passed
without a dissenting vote and ord
ered transmitted to the Senate.

Haines Notes
Haines, May 2.—Last Thursday
afternoon, Mrs. Ellon Pyne and her
school of native pupils, gave an en
I tertainment in the Government
school house, which was a decided
success, and in some ways, your cor
respondent thinks remarkable. There
were twenty-two numbers rendered,
and not a hitch from start to finish.
Kvery child seemed to know just
what was required of it, and was
anxious to do its part. The old
est scholar taking part in the exer
cises I am told is twelve years old,
and from that down to four or five,
and it must have taken a great deal
of labor and patience 011 the part of
I the teacher to bring about such tine
results. The superintendent cer
tainly made 110 mistake when he em-,
ployed Mrs. Pyne to teach the gov-1
eminent school at this place. The
following is the program rendered:
1. Song "America, by the school.!

There is one phase of President

ance of which should not be over
shadowed by what may be consider

and that phase deals with highway
construction, and the necessity for
making some provision for the re

"I know nothing more shocking

wasted in Improved highways be
