As this figure in some in stances amounted to a raise of 6C 2-3 per cent, local people naturally objected, and will be pleased to hear that the old
 rates are restored. There can be no denying the fact that at the restored rate, Southeastern Alaska has a cheap freight ser- vice, and one at which there is little profit for the transpor- tation companies during the slack season. This the great majority of the people are will ing to acknowledge, as it will take the carriage of a lot of freight to pay for the damage inflicted by the Mariposa for in stance the other day at Valdez, and such things are bound to

WORK STARTED AT THE
 MOONSHINE MINES

w. W. Catlin, w. H. Gilmour w. P. Powers, Fred Gregg, and M. M. Churchill returned last evening from trip to the MOonshine property on Chol- mondeley Sound. They report an enjoyable trip and epress re newed confidence in the prop erty.
 MT. Catlin who owns con- trolling interest in the proper ty says that nothing beyond the necessary assessment work will be done this fall, but that as |soOn as the weather permits
 next spring the property will be systematically developed and placed on a shipping basis. Either by the company itself, or by one of the several people who are desirous of obtaining Ia bond for that purpose.
 This property has been eX-
 mined by several noted min ling men and geologists. Twice by Prof. w. o. Crosby of Bos- ton, one of the best known geo. |logists living; by H. w. Turner several years state geologists of California; and by Prof. Minor Roberts, Dean of the School of Mining, University of Washing ton. These experts have all eX- pressed the belief that the mines has an excellent chance of becoming a valuable produc- Ter.
 The ore is a high grade lead- |silver proposition. The general run of ore so far developed 
 carries good values in lead and averages about $7.O0 a ton in silver. In spots the silver val ues run "way up" assays as high as $500. having been ob- tained.
 The development of the Moon shine will be watched with in- tcrest by all who have thc wei fare of the Ketchikan Mining District at heart.
 The assessment work is be- ing done under the direction of Otto Herbst..

NORTHLND IN A NEW LIGHT

happen, but an incre ase of the size of that made this month is altogether too high. The shipper would probably have made little objection probably to a raise of $l.O0 per ton, but S2.00 when the base rate is only three is too much altogether, This when it is too late, they now realize, and the time for such change having gone by, they must be content with the $500 rate for while longer. The people are the gathers, even if the transportation com : panies do lose, and the prob abilities are that they can both stand the old rate again, at least for a time.

RETURNS FROM COOKS
 INLET COUNTRY

w. G. Weigle, forest super visor for Alaska, returned on the aMriposa from the Vest ward after a visit to the Cooks Inlet country. MT. Weigle was standing at the bow of the Mar iposa when she made her sen- sational landing at Valdez He states that the Sampson had just pulled out from the wharf as the aMriposa came Tn. while this was being done the Mariposa waited for the other vessel to get out of the way. When she was started again her nose was pointed directly along the long way of the wharf. A back bell was given but the boat instead of revers- ing went ahead at about half speed. Captain Moore seeing that a collision was inevitable but the wheel hard over and the vessel sheered enough to miss the main part of the wharf, on which many people were stand ing, and struch the wing or "L" with the damage reported several days ago by wire. MT. Weigle :eport's the towns to the Westward as very quite but that a big pack of red fish had been put up there, and as lar south as Icy Straits.

PLANS OF SCHOOL BOARD

Vacation days for the young hopefuls will end on next Tues day, Sept. 3rd, when the next term of the Ketchikan Public <. hool will begin.
 The teaching staff this year will be strengthened by the ad- dition of one more educator. Miss s. M. Bugge has been em- ployed by the board to fill the position made necessary by the increase in the juvenile por- ton of Ketchikan's population.
 All of last years teachers ev- idently gave general satisfact- ion for all of them have been re tained. Prof. Blake as princi- pal will be assisted in the High School by Mrs. M. V. Combs. Miss Arke will have charge of the 5th and 9th grades. Miss Bugge is to assist the yOungst- CTS in the 3rd. and 4th. grades, while Miss ROssiter has the diff ficult task of starting the pri-
 nary grades on the path of knowledge.
 The assignment of rooms will be the same as last year. Miss Bugge will be given the base ment room on the south side of the building formerly used as recreation room and play ground by the boys in rainy weather. It was originally the intention of the board to rent the building now occupied by the lighthouse department but the lighthouse people have been unable to find another location The room selected is the light est of the basement rooms and everything possible is being done to make the rooms servIce able and comfortable. A tenn porary building or pavilion will be erected during the next month to replace the play ground of which the boys were robbed in making space for Miss Bugge's classes. This building will be slightly larger
 han the old recreation room.
 The excavation will be con- tinued until finished. Next year the adition to the present building vii be erected where the present excavation is being done. The plans of the board call for two class rooms on the second floor and an industrial class room on the lower.

Russian Ride Completed This
Morning with Only. One Spill
at the Jumps-Mounted Ser
vice on Oahu Has Made Good

Especial star Bulletin Correspondence
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Dec. 20.
This morning the officers of the
First Field Artillery, led by Major
w NJ. Cruikshank, completed the
much-disCussed Russian ride success
fully, and Schofield Barracks has
Iapsed into it's wonted calm. For
month past the spectre of the steeple-
chase has hung over the mounted
service, and three serious accidents,
resulting from falls at the jumps, have
not served to improve the peace OF
mind Of those who had to complete
the test of horses and hOrsemanShip.
The fact that the former counted
more than the latter has been the
principal source of complaint, for any
child could have negotiated the low
hurdles and narrow bitches on a
schOOled jumper, while to get round
the course within the time limit on
green mounts was quite alother
matter.
There was only one spill during this
mornings ride, and luckily il turned
out to be more of an incident than
an accident First Lieutenant Ned 3.
Rehkopf went down at one of the
jumps, but like Captain Day of the
cavalry in the previous test, he
mounted again. took the hurdle, and
finished inside the time limit
The lartillery officers rode a
course of their own. measuring one
mile. and intersected by two 3-fOOt
hurdles and one 6-fOOt ditch. They
made three circuits, taking therefore
nine jumps in all. The cavalry, in
their Russian ride last Monday, rode
course which measured a trifle
more than two miles. on which they
made one and a third laps, over nine
jumps.
For another Vear. then. the officers
of the First Field Artillery and Fifth
Cavalry can turn their minds from
steepleChaSing to more purNy milf
tary matters. although it is possible
that more attention will be paid to
jumping as a regular part of the
schooling of officers mounts.

SLUGGISH THETlS
IS HEARD FROM
AT BIRD island

Mott-Smith. received the following
message at 3 O'Clock yesterday after
noon from Governor Frear, aboard
the revenue cutter Thetis:
Bird Island this morning, Neckar
tomorrow, fine trip, three sharks"
Bird Island is only about 275 miles
from Honolulu, and evidently it has
taken the Thetis three and one-half
days to cover that distance. With all
sails spread to a favorable wind and
the auxiliary running at full steam.
Neckar is about 175 miles father,
and at the ships present rate, it will
do well to reach Neckar any time to-
day
The last two words of the Cover
nor's message are a puzzle, as they
doubtless were intended to be by the
sender.
q can't figure" said Mott-Smith,
whether it means they merely saw
three sharks, or captured three
sharks, or is meant as the combined
signature of the Governor, Lindsay
and Gearge Willett, the policeman,
ornithologist from Los Angeles ~
George Clark. the governors private
secretary suggested that it probably
means they have been feeding three
sharks.
1T looks to me like a fish story"
decided the acting governor, "and if
it is, their next message probably
will mention whales"
