FISHER SAYS THAT
 CONGRESS RESPONSIBLE

Washington, May S-Former Secretary of the Interior Fisher in an address before the Sen- ate committee today said that the responsibility for the con- ditions Of Alaska rests squarely on the shoulders of congress and the necessity for legisla- ton has been pointed out scores of times to them but nothing has been done. He declared himself heartily in favor with the government operating rail- roads in Alaska at least as an experiment and that there can Ie no great development of the Northern Empire unless there are more railroads.

THERE'S A REASON

Statistics show that the Un~ tied States pays the greatest fire insurance business, relative to the extent of buildings than any other country in the world.
 The reason for this it that the United States allows more film sy construction than any other country in the world. Most O. the building construction in the is an invitation to fire.
 The express companies admit that their business has been iii jpred by the parcels post. The people got an idea some years ago that the establishment of the parcel post system would not benefit the express com panies.

 He was encored so heartily that he come back and went through the whole poem again, doing even better than the first time.
 And we are at a loss to know what to say regarding the next lumber, the drill by the soldier boys. These sixteen little fel- lows from Miss Bugge's room certainly went through their part in a most praise worthy manner. The fact that their hdyOnets did not fit first rate made some confusion, but it did not get the boys rattled at ali. They actel like old sold icrs of the line in their uni forms of blue overalls with red stripes on the legs and their paper hats with a flag on each. Captain Uric Sellers made a very good drill master and gave tis orders forcefully and dis tictly. The Miner can not re- train from saying that Miss Rugge is to be praised again here. The work of the two drills from her room certainly speaks volumes for her pa tience and perseverance.
 Raymond Russell Howard is iu a class all hy himself when il comes to stage work, and the way he went after "Soap The Tormentor", was nothing slow. Raymond always makes a hit W ith his audience and a school program would hardly be com plete without him.
 The Mandolin Duet by the Iaup children was excellent, l showed careful preparation and was received with great ap rtause by the audience and as encored gave another number equally as well. The Miner be- lieyes that Helen and Everett are in Miss Arke's room.
 Rilly's poem "Little Orphan Nnnie" was very nicely ren- oered by Nora Ross, who re- sponded to a prolonged encore with a cute little parody on ''The Roy Stood on the hurn- ing Deck"
 Her part was followed by a couple of selections from the Band which were fine and proved that we have a band in Ketchikan that would do credit to any city of ten thousand in habitants.
 As the closing part of the program the students of the Eighth Grade put on a play thas was certainly winner. The play was an adaptation of an 'Old Maids Club" and the To- cal hits that had been arranged no doubt by the eight grade teacher, Mrs. Combs, were cer- tainly very pat and called down many a laugh from the audi enc. The old maids, too, in their customs were especially fine and each acted the part to perfection. Some of the boys who represented visitors at the cid maids club might have spoken a little louder. but on the whole the act was ene that
 
 did great credit to Mrs. Combs and to the pupils themselves. The get ups were certainly rich.
 The Miner trusts that this program may become regular yearly event, and if it were to eFfer any criticism it would say that it was too long. The aud fence become tired, especially ire part that was Standinp
