FUR CATCH POOR
 AT THIS SEASON
Country Is Played Out at Present Time Too Many
 Trappers Says J. Luden.

John Luden, old-timer in this vi cinity, and well known trapper, re- turned to Juneau today on the gas boat Pheasant from Snettisham. MT. Luden has been out in the hills since the first of January and brought a number of furs in with him.
 Trapping is very poor this sea son." said MT. Luden. "The country is overrun with trappers and the catch is about played out along this coast at the present time"
 The statement of MT. Luden sub stantiates that made short time ago by Ernest Kirberger of Rake, in The Empire, and denies the statement made by c. w. Hawkesworth, super intendent of government schools in Alaska, in recent interview.
 Mir Hawkesworth stated that trap ping has been very good this season among the natives in comparison with previous years.

 "Whereas, These conditions in Al aska result entirely from the radical change in that liberal public land policy which gave the United States the greatest development in history through the individual effort and in itiative of it's pioneer citizens; that this change was prompted by mis- guided policy of so-called conserva- tion which sought to prevent the domination of Alaskan resources by large interests, but it's results thus far have tended and now tend to greater monopoly by large interests in Alaska than was ever known in the development of the States, and which bids fair, if continued, to place each large resource of Alaska in a monopoly similar to that enjoyed in the last century by the Hudsons Bay Company and the Russian American Company;
 Wherefore, It is by the Northwest Mining Association, at it's annual convention unanimously
 Resolved: That we heartily en- dorse in principle the proposal made by the Secretary of the Interior and several predecessors. and embodied in bills introduced in Congress by Chairman Curry of the House Com mittee on Territories and by Sena tor New, chairman of the Senate Committee on Territories, to the end ington, having to deal with the nat ural resources of Alaska, be cO-ordin ated and united, insofar as their Al aska activities are concerned, under one responsible head, preferably the Secretary of the Interior, with an representative resident in Alaska, and we also urge early legis- lation by the Congress for a return in Alaska to that liberal public land policy which has been so successful in the Great West, both in the Unit ed States and Canada, by the en couragement it gave to individual in :tiative and pioneer effort, and by which policy only can Alaska be de- veloped into a land of homes and in dividual operators, attracted and en- couraged by the ties of ownership and personal interest"

ALASKA SCHOOL STUDENTS MAKE
 UNIQUE RECORD
Only One Graduate in Elgh- teen Fails to Make Good
 in Higher Institutions.

Records made by graduates of Al aska High Schools during the past year in higher institutions of learning i'll the States are said to be much better than the average of graduates of High Schools of the country as whole, according to statistics com piled in the office of Territorial Com missioner of Education. Out of IS students, graduates of Alaska High Schools in May, 1920, only one failed to make good in colleges and other institutions during the scholastic year of 1920-21.
 The Alaska ,ocnuoi Bulletin for March reviews this matter as fol lows:
 What Alaska high school graduates can do when they leave Alaska to enter higher institutions of learning and are forced to compete with graduates from high schools in the States is a matter of interest to everyone. The 1920 graduating class is the latest on which complete records for an entire year can be secured. The school year 1920-21 is an especially good year in which to apply the test because at that time uni versailles and colleges were crowded with students and standards of work were very high as a means of weeding out the unfit and providing necessary room for the fit.
 Twenty mine students were graduated from seven Alaska high schools in May, 1920 Eighteen of this number attended higher institutions of learning, as listed below, during the school year 1920-21. This record is in itself exceptional It is extremely doubtful if any State in the Union can show a record of 62 per cent of it's high school graduates for the year in question who entered higher institutions of learning. Of the eighteen who attended higher schools, only one failed to complete the work of the year. It is also extremely doubtful if any State in the Union can show a record superior to this
 Schools attended with the number en- rolled in each are as follows:
 University of Washington .-...----..-........- 4 University of California ........--........-.--- University of Oregon ......-...-....-..-.-.-.-..
