 The Princess Beatrice with a large number of passengers, arrived this noon. Only two landed here. Mir. Adolph Anderson and wife. Mr. Thompson general manager of the Hudson Bay Company with 5. a party of twenty were aboard, bound for Telegraph creek by the way of Wrangell. LEI,
 On Saturday last, we announced with pleasure, the efforts being made to clear a passageway in the creek past the falls for the salmon to sur mount the rocks and reach the spawn ing grounds. We regret that we have to record that this effort has proved a failure.t The fish can only climb to within four feet of the top, and then because of low water become wedged in behind the rocks unable to proceed. As far as can be seen, very few salmon are reaching the spawning grounds. This situation ought to be remedied at once. A fish ladder. costing only a nominal sum ought to be constructed which would insure the fish a possi- bility of reaching the headwaters and accomplishing the aim tor which now they are striving.
 Professor August Grimm and wife, the new principal of the Ketchikan Public school, arrived yesterday on the Dolphin. Professor Grimm is a native of Wisconsin. After graduat- ing from the Two Rivers high school in that state. he taught three years in the school, then for three years attend ed the state normal school at Stevens Point. After graduating there, he was assistant principal of the high school at Manitowoc, Wis. ,thtee years In 1900 he entered the University of Wisconsin, famous for it's law and classic courses, in the philosophical course, from which he graduated in l903.. He was at once elected superin. tendent of the Fox Lake schools of Wisconsin. Two years later, yielding to long cherished desire, he came west and accepted the superintendency of the schools at Sumner, Washing ton. It Is from rem arkab,e record of three years that he comes, in the prime of manhood to Alaska. At Sumner, he reorganized the schools, put them on the certificate list of the University of Washington and placed 1 the high school third in the oratorical rank of the state. Last December he 1 married Miss Alma aB con, the lead ing teacher in Pierce County, and as he says, the best teacher he ever met, who accompanies him in his journey to Ketchikan. The professor and wife will make their home at the James Millar residence in Newtown. The Miner wishes to extend a most hearty welcome to these talented educators ss they begin their work here.
 The Dolphin, arriving yesterday. .rred large number of through pas engers, largely for Skagway. She brought for Ketchikan, Prof. and Mrs. Augustus Grimm. Otto F. Kro- ger, Mrs, M Schlothan, Miss Maud Ed wards, and six second class.
