In case the Methodist Board of
Missions decides to remove the Jes
se Lee Home from Unalaska to Se
ward or Seldovia, as stated at a re
cent meeting of the Seward Chamber
of Commerce by the Rev. R. V. B.
Dunlap, in charge of the missions in
this district, it will mean the addi
tion of over 100 population and much
work for carpenters, plumbers and
painters. Several large buildings
must be erected to properly house
the youngsters and their teachers,
and a large tract of ground must
be made ready for fields and pas
tures.
There is no doubt that the Home
would be nearer self supporting by
adopting Rev. Dunlap's plan and that
students could be better instructed in
crafts and trades. Unalaska has had
the Home for the past quarter of a
century and it has been a great help
to the town. Removing it to a more
eastern point will undoubtedly hurt
the flourishing community to the
westward, and will not add anything
to Alaska’s industries or population.
The order for removal has come
about through no seeking by Sew
ardites, and is in the nature of a sur
prise on account of the permanency
of the buildings to the westward. In
case the removal is made another
school building close to the Home
will be necessary, as the site will be
too far from the local school to allow
the scholars to attend, and it is
also bad policy to mix natives and
whites indiscriminately in the public
schools. A committee will reach
Seward in April and its decision will
be final. In case it is determined to
remove the Home Seward will un
doubtedly be selected on account of
agricultural possibilities and conve
nience in transportation.
Parties reaching Seward recently
from the Interior tell of climatic con
ditions this year that are very unu
sual. Snow fell on the Yukon Au
gust third, and many gardens were
ruined by frost. Ice formed nearly a
month earlier than usual at Teller
and in all parts of the Territory to
the North the freezeup was unex
pected. On the Yukon many boats
were caught in the ice and forced
to lay up in unexpected places. The
cause may be, as scientists claim, a
result of unusually large sun spots,
or it may be the old-time weather re
turning to Alaska. Whatever the
cause it has made considerable trou
ble and expense to Alaskans.
Within the next month or so the
canners’ association of the Pacific
coast states will run a series of ad
vertisements of an educational na
ture, showing the people the expense
connected with packing, and where
the money goes. We have had it
I declared on good authority that the
profit this year on a case of fish,
j with the lowest possible production
• costs, is less than one dollar per
j case. The canners are endeavoring
! to show that an increase in taxation
■ means the destruction of the busi
! ness. Had they taken the people
i into their confidence several years
I ago much misunderstandings now ex
| isting would have been cleared away.
Parisian beauties are now seen on
the streets with the most homely dog
that can be found, evidently to con
trast with their beauty. Somewhat
for the same reason that causes a
pretty woman to pick an ugly hus
band.
Next year will se many more fish
ing boats plying out of Seward to
the halibut banks, according to fish
ermen operating out of here this

CAN'T WEAR EARRINGS
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Nov. . 5 -
Earrings are taboo for freshmen
girls at State College here, accord
ing to the handbook for women
students published by the Women’s
Student government association. It
is down in black and white, so
that she who runs may read.
Whether the upper class girls fear
the new girls may appear too “vam
pish” or whether it is just a dis
plinary measure necessary to the
newcomers, cannot be fathomed.
They know that it is, and there
must be some good reason.

years.
