O'CONNOR > Latest Novelties in Tobacco Jars and i Pipe Racks at Burford's I THE OLDEST MAIL CARRIER HERE Hugh Day arrived in Juneau on the Georgia yesterday. Hugh Day is the oldest mail carrier of the North now living. He carried the first winter mail into the interior of Alaska mak ing four trips from Juneau to Circle City during tho winter of ISilG. In those days it meant something to start out on this long journey over land in the midst of winter. There were no road houses after leaving Dyea until reaching Selkirk. In 1S08 Mr. Day, who wus then op erating a mining claim on Lower Do minion Creek in the Klondike coun try was badly crippled by the falling of a bucket down the shaft In which he was working. His leg was so bad ly broken that it had to be amputat ed. This forced him to give up the strenuous life of the interior and come to the coast. Last March he estab lished himself in business at Tenukee and now is making that place his home. Yesterday Hugh sat around waiting for news of the dog races. He seem ed as excited as Senator Bruner and the other Nome contingent over the probable outcome of the great sweep- j stakes. "Do you know," he said, "I'd I like to drive a team of dogs once more! but of course I can't with this leg j gone. The next best thing is to get; in a small boat in the spring and float' down the old Yukon, camping where I you like and time enough to get i few graylings for breakfast ?Oh, there's nothing like it." JAFET LINDEBERG TO MINE FOR HIMSELF Jafet Lindeberg. of Nome, president of the Pioneer Mining company, and believed by many that know him to be the greatest expert on placer min ing in the country, is going into the dredging business for himself on Se ward Peninsula and in California, as a "side line" to his occupation as the directing head of the great Pioneer company. Concerning Mr. Lindeberg's new venture, the Seattle Times says: Guided by the success made by the Seattle constructed dredge on the In machuck river, Seward peninsula, last summer, Jafet Lindeberg, president of the Pioneer Mining company, and A. H. J. Prichard, another Alaska mining man, have purchased an im mense tract of land on that stream, and have commenced the construc tion of a dredge handling 2,000 yards of gravel daily. The barges are be ing built in Seattle under the direc tion of Walter W. Johnson, of the Union Construction Company, of San Francisco. "The organization, which is known as the Kotzebue Mining company, has acquired all of the land lying be tween the Fairhaven Water Company property and the Fries ground, upon which the American Dredge Building & Construction conipanv's machine made such a success last year. This machine not only paid for itself the first season but took out sufficient gold to pay a handsome profit to its owners. "Lindeberg is also planning big min ing operations in California. Apart from the installation of the dredge next summer, he will not extend op erations at Nome." ? ' ? - ? ? ? TOWNE IS BACKING JORDAN OF NOME WASHINGTON, April 14.?Former Senator Charles A.

Ingram, of Vuldez, has Introduced a joint memor ial In the House of Representatives asking congress to amend the Alaska school law in such a way as to make the schools in different parts of the territory uniform, and to improve the standing of tho schools.

It is made the duty of he superin tendent of education to superintend the schools of the territory; to inves tigate all school accounts and moneys; among the several divisions in pro portion to the number of school chil dren in each division; and such other duties as are involved by his headship of the school system. The division superintendents are required to apportion the moneys of the separate divisions among the school districts of the divisions in proportion to the number of the school children; to conduct examina tions of teachers under the rules adopted by the board of examiners; to have supervision over all school ac counts in his territory; to visit all the schools in his district; and to have general charge of the schools subject to the rules and regulations of those above him.. 111111 n111ii111111111 m i! :: Personal Mention :: 111 i 111 n i?? ? 1111111111111 W.

SENATORS TOKEN Of APPRECIATION The members of the Senate deter mined not to wait until the session was over before their appreciation of the services of their chaplian should take some outward form, therefore, on Saturday Rev. Stevens and Mrs. Stevens were each presented with a nice easy chair. Accompany the token of appreciation was the follow ing letter: Rev. J. B.

That the caucus rule will be adopted to help drive the Demicratic tariff bills through the Senate should some of the Democratic Senators prove recalcit rant is the opinion expressed at the capitol. No effort will be made, how ever, to compele Senators tc vote ac cording to caucus instruction when they have been instructed by their state, or given pledges to their states to uphold other positions than those taken by the caucus. Senator Martin, of Virginia, cliair-1 man of the appropriations commit tee, says that while he had not dis cussed the tariff situation with other senators or with members of the House, he believes the Senate Dem ocrats with a majority of six or sev en could get together 011 the tariff measure without much difficulty. He said that there was no good reason provided that only tariff was taken up, why Congress should not com-! plete its labors by the middle of June. "I believe that the House should send the tariff measures over sclied-, ule by schedule, or with two or three of them consolidated in a single bill" said Senator Martin, "and in this way the Senate would be enabled to get many of the schedulesou tof of the way while the House was putting; through the others."
