 After volley had been fired over the soldiers grave Joseph Min archin. deathly pale raised his bugle to his lips and with pain that was evident to spectators. sounded the notes prescribed by military ritual.
 As he fell several comrades rush. ed to his side and he was carried to the office of neighbOring physi elan who. after vainly attempting tt resuscitate him with the aid Of 8 pulmotor, pronounced him to bt dead as the result of heart disease.

KETCH|KAN FISH
 CANNING SEASON
 IS NOW CLOSED
Pack of District Is Expected to Be Close to 235,- <. 900 Cases.

(Ketchikan Chronlcie.) )

The 1921 canning season is over only one cannery in the Ketchikan district now operating. A total of 229 900 cases of salmon of all kinds has been packed, with the expecta tion that the total will be increased by several, thousand more during the next couple of weeks
 The J. L. Smiley & Go. cannery packed 98,008; Wards Cove, 16,0GG ; Annette Island Packing Co.,. 65,000 and the Sunny Point Packing Com pany has about 50,000 and will con- tinue to pack for several weeks yet Much of the total pack is of he cheaper grades of fish, although some echoes and sockeye have been put up too.
 The situatic1 is becoming more ia; vorable, although slowly. With Se- attk brokers now predicting that the Iaccumulated packs of last year and this season will be disposed of by January 1, 1899, incentive will be given for every eannery in the Ter tritOry to operate. It is reasonably certain. that the plants of this dis ftsict will run if prices suffer no de cline before next season, say local cannerymen.
 ! The G w. Hume cannery at ScOw Bay packed 12000 cases this year according to J. s. Hume, superin tendent of the cannery. The com l pany drove only one trap, getting most of the fish that were canned from it. and buying very few. They did not intend putting up a large pack, but filled only the cans on i hand with one line in operation.

CLEAN SWEEP BY
BOND PROPONENTS
School Bonds, Three Mill Tax
and Funding Bonds All
Win Out

Albany November 23.-(SpeciaLl--
Proponents OF the school bond issue,
3 mill tax and funding bond issue,
made clean sweep in the election
here Tuesday. all three of the meas
ures receiving substantial majorities,
tho largest being polled in behalf of
the school improvement bonds
The vote was lighter than is usu-
ally the case in Albany, less than
I 200 ballots being cast. A majority
OF 73S was returned in favor of the
100000 bond issue for the schools;
a majority OF SIS in favor of the q
mill tax and a majority for the $780,
900 funding bond issue OF sci.
The proceeds of the 100000 issue
will be used in constructing a new
high school and Improvement of the
present buildings. The revenue from
the 8 mill tax will be used to meet
interest payments on the bonds and
to create sinking fund from which
the principal will be retired in 80
years. The funding bond issue will
take care of the city's present float
ing Indebtedness.
The school bond issue probably is
the greatest step forward the mu-
nicipality has ever taken in educa
tional affairs. Steps will be taken i'm
mediately looking toward the sale
OF the bonds. and as soon as the legal
steps necessary have been completed,
work will be started on the building.
DR.. Dressler, well-known school
architect. has made several trips of
Inspection here in connection with
the new building. and has made a
number OF recommendations which
probably will be included In the plans
for the structure.
