THE NEW CONQUEROR.
A strangely equipped United
States battleship docked' at Seward
this morning. From outward appear
! ances she: might have been just an
ordinary vessel. In. fact, she was. a
former brigantine, built in 1804, and
looks rather odd in comparison with
the- U. S., S.- Pennsylvania. Unlike
the big fortresses of the navy, the
ship’s “heavy stuff” was concealed
’tween decks,, .while her-lighter ord
nance was stowed in staterooms and
here and there in convenient nooks
and crannies, 'Yet her armament is
the most powerful of any warship
afloat. Her, long-range guns are
school houses! Her. strategists are
school teachers. Her enemy is ig
norance-^the, arch-enemy of man
kind; the blight which fills the prisons
and enslaves the individual..
This moat powerful, of Uncle Sam's
naval fleet is the Bureau of Education
shipBoxer. She is, the product of the
new age: of warfare against primitive
peoples of the nation. She is bom oi
the new. era, post-dating the period
, when regiments of soldiers marched
against the frontier to subdue the
primitive natives which , peopled it. In
• those earlier days it cost approxi
■ mately $1,000,000 to kill tone native
It costs the United States only $139,
920 per year to salvage 3^42: native
children and shape them far future

these children of natureithat the pe
, culiarly armed waTship now lying at

hour : when the battle of the school

What changes have come! ? The
roar of musketry is smothered 1 be

BESSIE BOTD TELLS OF HER
AIRPLANE TRIP TO FAIRBANKS
Mum Bessie Boyd has bo many
flriends in these parts that the follow
ing- letter, telling of. her airplane trip
to Fairbanks,.may prove of interest:
Fairbanks, April 22.
Mr. A. X.. Grant, Takotna, Alaska:
To thinfe that, last night I was bid
ding you all goodbye and tonight i
have already gone to the show with
John Holm and. had some fresh fruit
and seen some of. my. bid friends, like
Mr. Payne, Dora Werner and' Bil£
Werner, makes me feel like I am only
dreaming, and I often pinch myself
to see if I’m not.
Well, to tell you about airplane, l
did not have any thrills to talk about,
but Mr. Bennett is surely a good avi
ator, and. sometimes we flew so
smoothly high mother would have to
look over to see if we were still trav
plimr We nvor vnmp mnncn
and Mr. Bennett touched my hood to
tell me to* look oyer and see them,
and I thought he was trying to tell
me to put my hoed down and I ducked
down in the seat.
We got into Lake Menchumina, and
there we stopped about an hour or so.
We had little air pockets, but I did
not get scared. Sometimes I would
hang on to the seat just to know that
I was not flying by myself.
The trip was wonderful, and it is
the only way to travel. If I ever get
big and save enough money I am
going to buy an airplane and learn to
be an. aviator, and if you all are good
I might give yon a ride.
My goodness, but I couldn’t count
how many sloughs, rivers and lakes
there are in Alaska. I am beginning
to realize where the mosquitoes come
from in the summer time. 1 saw Mr.
Vanderpool’s place, Greg Stewart’s
and Diamond Dick’s place and Ne
nana, and quite a few little places, on
I the way over. Oh, and I saw Mrs.
Shannon. She came over from Mr.
Blackburn’s place with his dogs, and
she said that she almost had to pack
them over. The roadhouse man at the
| ■ =
lake has a wife and two little chil
dren. His wife is very nice, so is his :
little girl; she was cute. When I was
in the airplane and looked down on
the ground it was just like looking 1
down on the great park.
Well, Mr. Grant, I must close, be
cause the airplane did not wreck or
do anything to cause any excitement.
With love and kisses to all. Bessie.
Three out of every four airplane
accidents are said to be due to the
engine stalling.
Wore than 600,000 persons are em
ployed in the coal industry in the
United States.
Benjamin Franklin invented a mu
sical instrument called armonica.
The United States has 52,000 post
iffices.
