 NORTHERN EMPIRE

J. D. NIckell, concerning whose whereabouts the Governors office re- gently received an inquiry which was published in the press of Alaska, was employed by the skagway dairy early last summer. In July he went to Whitehorse, and information in Skag- way is that he joined one of the boun- diary survey parties for the summer.
 Reports from Bella Coola are that this seasons fur catch in that section will be an exceptionally heavy one. In fact the fur catch in several sections of the North coast country will be large. Haines fox and mink trappers report better results than usual.
 A Prince Rupert Indian broke into a cannery at that place and stole a lot of canned salmon. Then he stole a hand car from the car-shed and took hi splunder to Fairview where he was captured. He was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary.
 
 Skagway is confronted with threat ened raise of its water rates just 100 per cent. The city council is combat ting the efforts of the water company to increase it's income in that man. ner.
 The schooner Azalea, we'll known among lumber coasters, has been pur- chased by the Mathieson Fisheries Co. of Anacortes, and will be sent to the Bering sea next summer with the cod fleet.

Fourth Scholastic Year.

The Middle Tennessee Normal
School enters upon its unprece-
dented attendance. Practically
every room in the dormitories has
been engaged and quite a number
of students have arranged board
in private homes. Last year the
total enrollement was, including
the model school, thirteen hun
dred and fifty four. The number
enrolled in the Academic and
Normal Courses was one thousand
and eighteen. OF this vast army
of pedagogues, at least seven hun.
dred and fifty are teaching in the
public schools of Tennessee. The
average number of students
taught by a public school teacher
is about forty, hence there are
more than thirty thousand school,
children being taught by those
who have had some training at
the Middle Tennessee State Nor
NAL School.
The work of the institution,
however, is not confined alone to
the few hundred who come with
in its walls, but the faculty as a
whole realizes that a vital part
of its work is to aid in improv-
ing educational conditions in the
state, this being done through
teachers Institutes, educational
mass meetings, county courts,
and other agencies. Thus it can
be seen that the Middle Tennes-
see Normal is constantly seeking
to advance the cause of education
in various methods throughout
Middle Tennessee.

Road Seeks Increase.

Claiming that it is entitled to
the five per cent increase in COM
pensation for railway mail serv-
ice on all mail routes because of
the increase volume of mail car
ried by parcel post service, the
Nashville, Chattanooga a. St, Louis.
Railroad has filed petition with
the federal court of claims asking
SAG, 1924 said to be due because
of alleged underpayments for such
service.
The railroad says that five per
cent increase has been authorized
from Ooalmont to Tracy Oity,
seven miles, and from Sparta to
Bon Air, eight miles, both routes
with only few pounds of parcel
post mail daily. The contention
of the railway is that if the ad-
vance is allowed on some routes,
even though they be small, it
should be allowed on the larger
routes, which the railway says,
bear the real burden of the in
creasing volume Of mail matter
because of the development of the
parcel post system.
