Mayor Six Terms
Since Juneau was incorporated in
1900*. Mr. Valentine had served as
its mayor for six terms. 1908-9-10
11-17 and 18, and member of the
City Council in 1902, and for a
great many years he was an impor
tant factor in city politics. While
he withdrew from personal partici
pation in them shortly after the
beginning of the present decade, he
never lost interest in municipal
questions and issues and was ready
to go to the front for his friends
and associates whenever called upon
for assistance.
In national and Territorial politics
he was a Republican, but in 1912
cast his fortunes with the Bull
Moose movement. He was one of
the leaders in the insurgent move
ment in Alaska and presided over
the Territorial convention that sent
delegates to Chicago when Roose
velt was nominated.
C hanges His Allegiance
He was one of the first of the
local leaders to espouse the cause
of Judge James Wickersham on the
latter's entry into territorial poli
tics, and for many years staunchly
supported him and his policies.
In 1926, he broke with his erst
while leader and his group in tilt
Republican party and since tha
time was aligned with the opposing
or administration, faction.
Mr. Valentine was registration of
ficer during the draft at the time
of the World War. He registerec
714 men for military service. Hf
took an active part in the severa
war loan drives, subscribing gener
ously to them and working to put
Juneau over the top in each sub
scription campaign.
Works at Skagway
After the Klondike stampede was
well under way, Mr. Valentine ex
tended his activities to the then
thriving town of Skagway. There
he built the wharf, and shipped in
the first million feet of lumber for
the construction of homes and busi
ness houses. He was one of the
leaders in raising funds for and
building the celebrated White Pass
Trail.

Department of Interior Of

(Continued from eage One)
changes of headquarters from
Washington to Alaska were badly
I needed, and predicted that they
| would come about in time.
In the past wuth local offices
! scattered around in privately owned
■ buildings, the making of changes
[ was not always possible. However,
'with the completion of the new
j capitol building, which will take
! place in the next few months, a
j different situation will present itself
! and consolidation will be made eas
ier, he believed.
Definite School Program
So far as the Office of Education
1 is concerned, it is now working on
a definite program of expansion.
Each year estimates are submitted
to the Bureau of Budgat for new
[ school buiffiings which will be lo
cated at points best suited to serve
the Indian and Eskimo population
dependent on the system.
The Department looks forward to
the establishment of more indus
j trial training schools such as the
one now in operation at Eklutna,
on the Alaska Railroad, and an
other that is being constructed at
Shoemaker Bay near Wrangell. It
is believed that schools of that type
are better fitted for the needs of
Alaska's primitive races than the
more formal institutions where em
phasis is placed on the three "R's"
and not on the arts and trades
which play a vital part in the
everyday lives of the students.
Upon the success of the initial
training schools depends the meas
ure of their future growth here. If
the Eklutna and Shoemaker Bay
i schools live up to expectations, the
Department hopes to largely inT
I crease their numbers as appropria
1 lions are made available by Con
j gress.
Spend Week Here
i Mr. Burlew will spend a week
j here. He covered all of the Dc
■ part ment's" activities in the interior,
i along the Alaska Railroad, and will
i visit all of its bureaus here.
1 He was in railroad towns during
| the investigation of the Senatorial
; Investigating Committee recently,
I and said he was awaiting its report
j with deep interest. He had no
| additional comment to make on
] that subject.
