 Alaska at the present time is on the crest of an unparalleled era of good times, according to statistics made public recently by the United States customs house, and cold figures show that trade between the territory and the United States and Canada will be two and a half times greater for 1915 than for 1914.

 Seward.-A poor year for salmon packers, with falling off of from 20 to 50 per cent from a full pack, was re- ported hero with the arrival of the Santa Ana, Capt. Hansen, from Boring sea ports The Bristol bay canneries, according to Hansen, lack 40 per cent of their usual pack while at Kodiak, Uyak, Seldovia and Port Graham, the season closes with only half pack A full pack, however, is reported from Chignik aud Port Muller. The heaviest run of 6sh in Bristol bay came July 4, while fishermen were celebrating. One fisherman who was attending to busi. ness caught 5000 fish.
 Seventeen years ago Dan McCarty, Alaskan sourdough, played a prospec- tore hunch in the gold mining game and lost. He staked a claim in the creek bed of the most promising stream in the Fairbanks district; other pros pectors came along and staked claims on the hillsides. He went broke; others made fortunes. Dan McCarty, six months ago, left Seattle and went 10 the Tolovana, the newest of interior Alas ka's mining camps, mushing forty miles over a rough trail from Fairbanks. He played a prospector's huneh again, but this time it was a different hunch from his first Others staked claims in the creek bed; he staked his claim on the hinside-aud won.

A suggestion to Alaskans may be found in the following Simon Dana, of Greenville, Me-, Penobscot Indian, is doing a good business selling porcu pine quills for toothpicks. He has eight porcupines specially trained to approach his camp and shoot their quilIs into a tub near the camp door that is, he says so.
 Increasing their fleet to fourteen ves- sells, officials of the Alaska Steamship Company chartered the American steamer Eihu Thompson and will place her in the Southeastern Alaska trade out of Seattle Never before in the history of the shipping of the North land has the trade reached such tre- mendous proportions.

 Whether as worthy examples or hor- rible ones, pictures of Alaska are very often used toillustrate Sunday school talks. The following from a Seattle paper is an example: Edgar c. Raine, who has visited nearly every city and village in Alaska for the past six years, will deliver an illustrated lecture on "Alaska, the Frontier Wonderland of the World" in the Sunday school room of the First Methodist church, First avenue and Marion street, tomorrow night. He has nearly 200 pictures, taken in Alaska and Siberia.
 The Providence Journal, published long ways from Alaska, prints the fol- lowing: Anchorage has newspaper al- ready, which was to have been expected The newspaper is never far behind the pioneer. Under government regulation the new town will not boom in the old mining camp way, but will enjoy a high degree of civilization from the start. Army methods will shape Anchorage into a model town. It appears that the officer in command of the railroad en- terprise is a lieutenant of cavalry, rather than being of that branch of the service which built the Panama canal, the corps of engineers. So, also, the chairman of the Alaska road commis- sion, which constructs the roads and trails, is a colonel of infantry. Here is another reminder of the versatile talent found in our army, and it's great use fulness in time of peace
 The fishing schooner Zinah May, once a member of the famous Boring sea fleet of sealing vessels, was sold re. gently at Seattle to satisfy a score or more of creditors who held claims against the craft. The little schooner gained renown in the Far North for veuturing into the farthest stretches of Bering sea in quest of the fur-bearing mammals. Four times she crossed the Pacific battling with storms which would have caused a much larger vessel to founder. Her occupation as a sealer taken away by the government, the Zillah May, with other vessels of the sailing fleet, was tied up at Victoria, where she lay for a long time, finally being purchased by Chris Endresen and associates. The schooner was wrecked near Wraugell, Alaska, and on the California coast and her misfor- tunes were responsible for large amount of tbe indebtedness

Alaska fish stories should be above the average, Here is one from the Seward Gateway: We have all heard that Russian river is the greatest fish stream On the American continent and the experience of Mrs. J. II. Sears besrs out the description. While visiting that stream recently the lady decided to jump in for a swim, and she did, but was unable to make the slightest head way owing to obstruction caused by the congested condition of the salmon trout. To get back to the bank she was compelled to crawl over them on hands and knees
 Ketchikau Miner Bringing a big pump for the purpose of pumping the coal out of the Delhi, Capt. W. H. Tim returned from the south last night, and he and Diver Stagger will tackle the problem of getting the ship in shape for trip to dry dock. While below, Capt. Tim obtained copies of blue prints of the structure of the Delhiand made the discovery that there are two water ballast tanks in her stern which hold close to one hundred and fifty tons of water He will pump these out and replace the water with air, thus adding materially to the vessels buoy. ance. She will tEen be lowed down to the dry dock at Prince Rupert, which will be ready for use within the next ten dave or two weeks, and there re- paired. The demand for tonnage te carry ammunition across the Pacific is SO great now that a fortune could be made in a ship the size of the Delhi.
 The experiment of transplanting humpback salmon from the Pacific coast to Maine waters, from which the native salmon have largely disappeared, is proving a decided ruccess. Reports, apparently wildly exaggerated, have been received from private individuals of the manner in which the humpback are filling those streams DiscountinR these reports 90 per cent, and there is reason to believe that the fish are doing well in their new home. This experi- meut was stated in 1913, when car load of eggs in the eye stage, gathered at the Yes Bay, Alaska, and Puget Sound stations. was sent to Maine and placed in hatcheries on Green lake and Craig brook, Maine. Last year more eggs were shipped and still more will come this fall. Tn 1914, 100000 baby salmon, product of the first shipment, were liberated from the hateheries into various Maine rivers. The work of Iiberating 6,OOQ,OOO more has just been completed. A total of fifteen streams have been stocked. The bureaus eff forts in the direction of transplanting fish from one coast to another have been marked with decided success. Only a few years ago the bureau intro- duced the striped bass and the shad, heretofore unknown in those waters, to tbe Pacific coast. In consequence, the Sacramento river shad industry is now mounting to large proportions. Sac ramento river shad now sells in the markets of Washington in competition with Potomac river shad More than worth of Pacific coast shad has been taken and sold since the gov ernment planted the first fry. The ex- patriated striped bass also has become a reliable Gsh.food supply on the coast. The Baltimore Sun.

cation everywhere classify high
schools according to the length of
the course of study in years rath-
er than according to the lists Of
subjects taught. Surely the pride
of this community in educational
matters will not long permit that
Newark continue as one of the
few towns of it's size in the State
which maintains a second class
high school. A further considera-
tion is that it should not be our
aim to just meet the requirements
for college admission, but to give
our graduates the most complete
equipment possible within our
means for life's duties. This ap-
peal comes with especial force
from those of our graduates who
do not find it possible or conven-
lent to take a college course. An
extra year would allow of such en-
richment of our course as would
mean much to the future useful
ness of these graduates Of our
school.

THE POST OFFICE SITE

With the acquisition of land by
the College, the site for the pro-
posed Federal Building has been
a topic of discussion this week.
At the time of the purchase of
the site by the Government, the
sentiment of the citizens was di-
vided on the location at South Col
lege and Delaware avenues. With
but few exceptions, the business
men and manufacturers favored a
site more central to business. The
present site was chosen on the ar
gument that Depot Road promised
to be built up in few years to an
extent that would make the Della
ware avenue site nearer the cen
ter to the greatest number of pat
rons. This argument is now, in
the opinion of several citizens
made practically void in that all
the territory between Delaware
avenue and the Women's College
will be taken up in campus devel-
opment.
Another argument being pre-
sented is that being at the cross
section of streets, with the prob
able style of architecture, it will
interfere to some extent with the
plans of the collexe extension.
Adding additional force, comes
the news today that Newark will
have free town delivery. This
service will meet the general
needs of the residential section.
With all these influences, and
the attendant changes, it is just
possible the post office authorities
will reconsider their action. 1t
is rumored that these new condi-
tions, which will have so decided
an effect on the efficiency of the
service, will be called to Govern
ment attention.
If such action is contemplated,
the topic should be discussed pub
licly in the light of town interest
and not by political sub rosa
methods so prevalent in such pub
lie affairs.

We have admitted from other
districts 80 pupils, exactly the
same number admitted the pre-
vious year. Of these 68 were ad-
mitted under the Graded School
Law, which provides for the edu-
cation in graded schools in grades
above the sixth, of pupils resid-
ing in ungraded districts of the
State. On the basis of 20 cents
per day the Board will receive
from the State Treasurer tuition
for these pupils the sum of $2095.
80. In addition we have collected
tuition for other pupils residing
outside the district SIG. For the
most part these outside pupils are
sthe choice Of the country schools.
They are frequently but poorly
prepared for the work they are ex-
pected to take up here, but what
they lack in preparation they more
than make up in earnestness of
purpose and devotion to their
studies.
In conclusion | should like to
urge that the Board consider the
addition of a fourth year to our
High School course of study in the
near future. A number of schools
in the State now provide a four
year course in addition to the
eight years of primary and gram
mar school work. Others are pre-
pairing to do so next year. While
it is true that we are covering in
three years the work accomplished
by some of these schools in four
years and while our graduates as
rule have made good in college,
nevertheless there are considera-
tions which strongly recommend
the four year course even for our
school. In the first place there are
far too many failures in the first
year of our High School course,
while many of those who do the
work satisfactorily, especially
girls, are confined more closely to
their school work than the best
interest of their health warrants.
A course Of four prepared daily
recitations instead of five, would
correct in part at least this condi-
ton.
Moreover, it stands to reason
that our graduates will be at a
disadvantage when they find
themselves placed in college
classes with those of other schools
giving the four year course. So
important is the time element in
acquiring subject for permanent
results that State Boards of Edu-

schools invaded by epidemics of a
serious nature. Nevertheless when
we consider that this record was
made in spite of all day sessions
in the primary grades during bad
weather and in spite of regular
sessions during Christmas week,
we think it worthy of more than
passing notice. Surely this re-
cord would have been impossible
without the active cooperation of
the parents of this community,
and to them is credit chiefly due.
The number of promotions at the
close of the school year show
marked increase over the number
of promotions reported a year ago,
again pointing to the close connec-
tion between attendance and pro-
motions. In grades one to eight
inclusive there were $40 promo
tions against 319 year ago. In
the High School there were 35
against 38 year ago, making
total of 4O5 promotions against
total of 357 in June 1914, an in
crease of 48. OF these 81 are pro-
motions from the eighth grade in
to the High School, an increase of
Id over the number promoted from
that grade last year. In addition
we graduated a class of l8, only
one less than graduated in the
class of 1914, the largest in the
history of the High School.
