FORMER NURSE IN
 JUNEAU HOSPITAL
 WEDDED AT WRANCELL
fWrange.l Sentinel.)

Miss May Bissett and Stephen D. Grant were married at the Catholic Church at o'clock Friday evening in tho presence of small gathering of relatives and friends. They were attended by Mir. and Mrs. B. Y. Grant and the ceremony was performed by Father Cocola, who had just arrived from visit up the Stikine and was leaving for the south the same even- ing
 Mir. and Mrs. Grant met here last November when the groom. who was in the service during the World War, returned to Wrangell from Germany. where he had been in the Army of Occupation. and the news of their engagement was heard early this summer
 Mrs. Grant. who is nurse by pro- fession, visited Mrs. B. Y. Grant here for the first time about year ago, after which she returned to the Bellevue Hospital. New York, for a time. She had nursed at St. Ann s in Juneau and has spent the past few months at the Petersburg Hos pital. She was born in Edinburgh. Scotland, and has been in this coun- try only about six years. MT.

done. H0 states that an enormous amount of work Is involved in this alone.
 Working Order Needed
 The third step. putting the firm in working order. involves all these things and is the immediate goal.
 The fundamental thing being un dertaken now is to stop the loss to the government through the board $ operations This is stated to be the keynote to the entire undertaking : This loss has been laid by board officials to the present system of operating Shipping Board vessels known as Managing Operators Agreement No. 4 Under this agree ment operators are practically guar anteed , per cent of the ships earn ings, although the losses in operat- ing might in some cases exceed by thousands of dollars the total No- come. This is held to be the primary cause of all the present trouble.
 Accordingly the first definite plank in the new boards platform has been to agree unanimously that this sys- tenn must be abolished. This feature of the permanent policy is the only one fully decided as yet, and until it is done it is stated that lesser mat ters must wait.
 To Stop Losses
 The board, of course, has deter mined on other steps besides abro- gating the present operating agree ments. but they are all involved un- der the general head of stopping loss to the government.
 Negotiations are under way where by all surplus material will be dis posed of and some of this work is now under way, including the sale of the wooden ships.
 When all this is done the present board hopes they will have the fol lowing:
 A business organization with all ac counts settled or accounted for, lia. bilities paid. and in modern form generally; all old stock off it's shelves, and everything in it produc- ing

HIGH. SCHOOL SENIORS
 GAIN FIRST RANK IN BIG TEST

Tn the test, "Arithmetical Scale A." Skagway and Wrangell tied for first place and are each awarded one point; Fairbanks and Anchorage tied for third place and are each awarded points: Douglas won fifth place and Is awsrded 5 points; Juneau won sixth place and is awarded 6 points; while Ketchikan with seventh place is awarded points. In like manner, the rank of the various schools and the points awarded may be determined for each test.
 more complete report of the re- suits of these tests is being mimeo- graphed and will be sent to each school as we'll as to any one interested in re- ceiving more detailed Information.
 Similar tests were given in the ele- mentary schools of the Territory. The results of these tests will be tabulated in an early issue of the Bulletin. All test papers were graded in the office of the Commissioner Of Education, thus assuring uniformity in grading and tabuiation. ~ . '....i@

The seniors of the 1921 High School class at Skagway gained first place in a test made in all bcsools throughout the Territory Pupils of the Wrangell school was second and Fairbanks third
 The following interesting article, concerning the test, is from the issue of the Alaska School Bulletin
 That the small school and the small class are by no means without merit is shown by the results obtained from a number of standard tests given to mem- bers of the high school graduating cla ass of 1921 turnout the Territory during the closing weeks of the school year f920- 21. Skagway with school faculty of five teachers and a graduating class of two students won first place while Wrangell with school faculty of six teachers and a graduating class of two students won second place. The latter school was an easy winner until the class struck the fatal "Standardized Si- lent Reading Test" which netted them a total of fourteen points at time when points were to be avoided
 The five accredited high schools will need to look to their aurels since, they were forced to assume third. fourth. ffth sixth and seventh rank respective iy in contest involving seven schools
 The tests given are listed in Table I which appears below and which shows the rank of each school in each test The sum of the various ranks Is the Is to be interpreted as follows:

TIME LIMITED TO
 INSTALL EXHIBIT
Alaska Exhibit Must Be in Seattle by Sept. 25.-Is
 Being Made Feature.

All articles intended for the Alas kan exhibit at the International Mining Congress to be held at Chi cago October 1722, should be in Seattle not later than September 25, according to telegraphic advices re cciycd by Gov. Scott (. Bone this morning from J. l.. McPherson, sec rotary of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Gov. Bone said that he believed that the complete exhibit is now en route to Seattle for assembly as a whole and would reach there in plenty of time
 OI have asked the Alaska Bureau to have a representative at the Ex- position to aid in looking after the exhibit" said Gov. Bone. Owing to lack of funds, it is impossible to send an official representative from the Territory to do this work. A Mir Leopold, of the Bureau of Mines. will be in attendance from Wash ington, but he will be unable to give attention to the entire exhibit
 Falcon Joslin, it is understood, will be- in Chicago at the time of the Exposition and will aid in this mat ter, also" ,ft
 The Alaska exhibit is expected to be one of the main features of the Exposition, according to MT. Me fherson's telegram to the Gov vernor. The September issue of the Mining Congress Journal carries a big boost tor the exhibit, declaring "the Al aska exhibit alone will be the equiv alent in many respects to a trip half way around the world"

rection. if there was available cash in said fund"
 Explains Point Involved
 The issue before the court. de clared the opinion was not the pay ment of Mrs Sheelor's claim, but whether it was the treasurer's. duty to pay the particular warrants in question. The vouchers were the property of Mrs. Sheelor and if she had presented them to the treasurer, says the opinion, "and herself de manded payment, there would have heen no excuse for his not paying them
 Continuing on this point the cour; said:
 "The propriety of the issuance of the mapdamus asked for depends upon the answer to the question, as to whether or not it is the duty of Smith to pay these particular war rants-not 10 pay Mrs. Sheelor's claim not to pay the vouchers that Governor Riggs has signed, but to pay two particular warrants signed hv R. l. Sommers. secretary of the Territory. asked for by himself. As there musx be some law enjoining the performance of the duty -alleged before a mandamus can be issued to secure the performance of that duty. the question naturally arises: What law gives R. J. Sommcrs. secretary of the treasury, the right by his warrants to command Smith to pay any sum ont of the appropriation in question? What has the secretary of the Territory to do with this claim , Manifestly he has nothing to do with it so far as the law is concerned.
 Evidence, said the court, showed that in this instance the drawing of warrants was but following the usual custom followed in such matters. Vouchers were approved by the proper official and warrants were drawn to cover by the secretary of the Territory but there is no law prescribing such a method which was adopted as a matter of convenience. "No plausible reason is apparent why that question and method was not adhered to in this particular case, declared the court Indeed it ap- pears from all the facts and circum stances that the refusal to so deal with this claim approved by the Gov ernor and the Commissioner of Health, was due to petty spite. per sonal animosity and to that inordin- ate bumptiousness which sometimes afflicts the brightest intellects How ever that may be, yet the system usually employed was not enjoinet, by law. and not being enjoined by law, might be changed at any time, for better or worse. without laying the officers liable for non-perform ance of a duty imposed by law. Man damus will not lie to secure adher ence to a custom"
 Hopes for Payment
 It is hoped. said H. L. Faulkner, attorney for Mrs. Sheelor, following the rendering of the opinion. that payment of the vouchers can be ob tained without further legal action Now that the court has held, he stat ed that funds are availa blc for pay ment of his clients claim, it is not believed that there will be any fur ther objection on the part of Terri torial officials to making full and complete settlement without delay
