Reasons why for a New High
School Building

the total enrolment last year was
915. This year so far the ENROLL
ment is 231. At Christmas time
there will be 33 more ready to enter
the high school from the Washburn
grades. There are some coming in from
the country schools. This makes a
total of 264. At present we have
only 222 seats; 6 post graduates,
taking teachers training work, hav-
ing no desks assigned to them.
The school is going to publish the
list of tardy pupils from now on. We
are pretty certain that some of the
pupils are tardy without good ex-
cuses. If your child is tardy when
you send him early enough, you
surely ought to know about it..
Watch for the list of tardy pupils.
Miss Madeline E. Mathews has
been engaged by the Board to help
in the teaching of English and His
tory. Our increase in enrolment
was taxing our teaching force. We
expect much better teaching from
now on.

Packers Negotiate Big Merger.

The following report of a big deal
among Pacific Coast packing interests
is contained in a recent issue of
San Francisco paper:
The $25,OO0,0OO merger of the prin-
cipal canning interests of California,
with the biggest salmon packing inter
est in the world has been completed.
The Gamers and factors in the new
organization are:
California Fruit Gamers associa-
ton.
Central California Canneries' asso-
citation.
Griffin & Shelly.
]. X. Armsby company.
Sixty-eight per cent of the stock of
the Alaska Packers association is in
the pool to insure the entrance OF that
company into the deal. This is enough
to make certain of the amalgamation
of the association and the fruit inter
ests.
Those making the combination say
that for the present it will be more of
defensive trade organization than
anything else. Because Libby, Mcneil
& Libby, Swift concern, is not only
in the fruit business, but recently
bought the North Alaska Salmon COM
pany, the fruit Gamers of California
took alarm at the possible develop
ments.
The outcome has been the forma-
ton of this fruit and fish corporation
to meet the eastern packers on equal
terms.
The business organization of the
new company will be founded on the
plan of the Standard Oil company.
The business will be managed by an
executive committee, consisting of the
heads of the various departments,
such as salmon, canned fruit, dried
fruit and so on. This committee will
be the working heart of the organiza-
ton.
While William Solomon & Co. are
the fiscal agents of the combination,
the idea of the merger is understood
to have originated with William Fries.
president of the Fruit Gamers asso-
citation. He is to be president of the
new company. Balfour, Guthrie & Co.
and the Armsbys are heavily inter
ested.
The new company will handle the
fleet of the Alaska Packers associa-
ton differently from what has been the
case in past years. 1t is understood
that the deep-water fleet of about 20
ships and barks will no longer spend
the winter in Oakland creek, but will
be used in carrying Alaska and Cali
fornia products direct to England and
New York through the canal. The
company's vessels, which make up the
largest fleet under one ownership un-
der the American flag, are thus to be
kept constantly employed.
