Alaska stopped oer in this city Sunday and yesterday en route cast from an Alaskan trip While there is I nothing doing at present with the college col-lege project he said yesterday we hopE to be able In the spring to take I some steps looking to the beginning of j I building operations In the matter of educational work In Alaska Dr Jackson Jack-son said There Is much to hope for There are now nineteen or twenty Gov frnmant schools in the Territory with an attendance last year of 1700 native pupils The Incorporated cities are now receiving 00 per cent of he local license taxes to be devoted to school purposes and there is no reason why I Skaguay Juneau and Ketchlcan should not have Just as fine schools as any American city The natives are appreciative appre-ciative of their t opportunities and will I Improve these as far as they can by sending their children to school The doctor has been at Nome and In speaking of It said The trouble with the crowds that went up there was they did not realize that the information informa-tion that sent them to Nome was a year old at the time they learned it and all the desirable claims were filed on before they began their crusade to the gold fields Thousands landed from the steamers with but a dollar or two In their pockets expecting to pick up nuggets from the beach on landing There will be no such rush this next season for people have learned wisdom wis-dom and will stay at home rather than go through this years experiences I again Nome is a good mining camp I but It has been very much overdone o 6 a Assistant Trafflc
