i At a recent meeting of the Anchor
i age school boanl C. H. Sheets was
j | elected to act as principal of the An
i | chorage public schools for the years
11 1916-1917. Miss Ora Dee Clark was
!! retained as one of the teachers and
] the balance of the teaching staff will
j be composed of Miss Myrtle Record,
i; Miss Ethel Bennett and Miss Ethel
! McN’inch. Miss McNinch is from New
; York city and comes especially well
j recommended as a primary teacher,
) which department she will fill.
|; Mrs. E. S. Reedy, president of the
j board, advises that the school will be
j i opened the eleventh of next month
] and as the present accommodations
■ are inadequate for the 200 Anchorage
i school children it will be necessary to
j rent temporary quarters to care for
i the overflow. It is probable that the
j j board will rent the old Presbyterian
■ church until such a time as a new and
j more commodious building is provid
j ed for the public school children of
! Anchorage.

There was a meeting of the old-tim
ers last evening- at Labor Union hull,
in which a large number of Tillicums
participated. The object of the meet-'
ing was to arrange to take part in the
big Labor Day parade and P. S. Hunt
presided, with Matt llutton acting as
secretary. A committee of ten was
appointed to make all arrangements
and this bunch of old-timers is active
ly engaged in arousing the interest of
their comrades of the trail and prom
ise to have a representative turnout.
There will be another meeting Friday
night at the Labor Union hall to per
fect the plans with the committee
from the Labor union and as an add
ed inducement a typical Yukon lunch
will be served at this time to which all
of the Tillicums and old-timers are
not only invited but expected to at
tend.
A contract of more than ordinary
importance was closed yesterday be
tween Sutherland and P.rooks, con
tractors, and R. H. Fleming, of the
Bird Creek Lumber company. Suth
erland and Brooks are to furnish Mr.
Fleming with one-half million feet
of native logs delivered at the Bird
Creek sawmill and the life of the con
tract is until April 1, 1917. Mr. Flem
ing has looked into local conditions
carefully before entering into this
large contract and says that he feels
that the rapid and substantial devel
opment of Anchorage and surround
ing country justifies the venture. A
full crew of sawyers and lumbermen
have been sent to the Bird Creek mill
and the lumber will be shipped to An
chorage as fast as ready for the mar
ket.
The first exhibit sent to the North
i west Land and Products Exposition
j is ready for shipment and will go to
Seattle on the Admiral Evans. This
exhibit consists of Red Top wheat,
bearded barley and oats and Secre
tary Koch advises that other exhibits
1 will be sent as fast as they can be
gathered. The farmers from the Mat
anuska valley have promised a com
plete line of diversified crops to be
delivered later in the season but will
be in plenty of time for the exposi
tion. From the fact that this exhibit
will not only advertise Anchorage but
i the entire community everyone hav
I ing any product native to this part of
i Alaska should co-operate with Secre
tary Koch to make the Anchorage ex
j hibit one worthy of this city and the
surrounding farming country.
