MORRIS WINS FIRST PRIZE
 RADIO CONTEST
Has Best Home-Constructed Receiving Set-Henry Pigg
 Tells of Operations.

Robert Morris, IT years of age, won the Cunningham vacuum de- tector tube offered as first prize by the Juneau Electric Company for the best home constructed radio re- ceving set in Juneau. The second prize. one 23-plate variable condenser, was awarded Arthur Peterson and Curtis Shattuck won the third prize, one three-inch dial. Winston Cheath- am received honorable mention.
 There were seven entrants in the contest. The judges were: W. J. Lieyers. o. F. Iverson and Charles Goldstein
 As far as could be learned today, there are nine boys in Juneau, be- tween the ages of 13 and IT. who operate amateur radio receiving sets. With the exception of two or three, the sets have been completely as sembled and installed by the boys themselves, the parts being obtained in the local stores.
 The boys owning sets are: Henry Pigg. Winston Cheatham, Henry Sully, Albert White, Robert Morris, Richard Carrigan, Curtis Shattuck and Kenneth Marshall
 All the sets except those owned by Henry Pigg, Robert Morris and Henry Sully, have Crystal detectors. Pigg has a WD11 type vacuum detec- tor tube and Sully and Morris have Cunningham vacuum detector tube, the latter having a Crystal tube un- til winning the Cunningham tube of fered by the Juneau Electric Com pany.
 Sully claims he has heard Seattle, CTS, Pigg said, hear only the broad casting from the Alaska Electric Light X Power Company. Pgg ex- pects to install three tubes of the WD11 type and will change his aerial from it's present position on Second and Main Streets to a higher eleva- ton, probably near the telephone office, or on the roof of The Empire building. He said he thinks with this change he will be able to hear Seattle
 Tonight Gypsum is scheduled to make a trial broadcast and all the boys plan to stay close to their in struments as they expect to be able to receive from that station.
 The boys take a keen interest in radio and are well informed in it's technicalities. Henry Pigg and Cur lis Shattupk and thp two vnuppest operators

DECEMBER LIST SHOWS EXPORTS
 TAKE BIC JUMP
Alaskan Products for Last Month 56 Per Cent More
 than December, 1921.

Showing an increase of virtually 56 per cent over the same month in 1921. exports of Alaskan products in December 1922 were valued at $4.519,77S, an increase in amount of s1.616,724, according to the monthly statement of commerce is sued by Collector of Customs John c. Mcbride. Every industry is rep resented in the gain, furs being first in value closely followed by copper

 Seal Skins Decline.
 Although the Government seal skin catch from the Pribioff Islands which is included in last month S exports, was over 5000 skins larger than the catch in 1921, it declined approximately s200,000 in value. This is accounted for, said MT. Me- Bride by the lower valuation per skin placed by the Government. In 1921 each skin was valued at ap- proximately $37.50, but this years valuation was only $25. a total of 31,4S9 skins being taken, valued at $802,000 as compared to 26, 135 skins last year valued at S1,000,00O.
 Other furs, listed as exported dur ing the month, were valued at S1, 270,186.% This, however, includes the shipments of fur by mail for the entire year, amounting to little more than s1,000,000.

 Herring from sS5,356 to s2o1, PAS;
 Fresh fish other than salmon from s4s,114 to s72,515;

 All other kinds of fish and fish products including shell fish. from s13,858 to $29,077.
 Fish oil from $S333 o$22,361.

Gold more than doubled in value for the month, being s711.287 as compared to $345,766 for December 1921. Silver showed slight de- crease, as did lead

CONSERVING FERTILITY

Organized efforts to preserve the fertility of the
soil of this valley if publicity of these efforts
only to advertise that the soil requires such attention
will not have been at all sufficient.
Imperial Valley is only twenty years old and If 1t
should be assumed that its fertility had been danger
ously exhausted the conclusion might we'll be that 1t
was not in the first instance at all what has been
claimed for it. The proper moral to be drawn is that
land owners here forehanded and wise enough to
begin their program of conservation in time. This is
certainly commemorate phase of it. 1t is one that
should be emphasized and this the Press desiring to
serve its constituency at all times in the best possible
manner, wishes to do.
After ALL there is thing that must be renem-
bered in connection with conditions here. That is that
the ordinary rules of exhaustion do not apply in this
valley In all one-crop regions the drain is slower than
if here For in Imperial Valley the growing season
continues nearly the whole year through. Here the
number of crops from two to ten. Based upon
this fact the valley has been under cultivation not
twenty years. but from forty to hundred years, COM
pared to most other agricultural sections.
From any view may take of it the work of the
Soil Fertility committee of the Associated Chambers of
Commerce must commend itself. It's timely recogn-
ton of vital necessity, later urgent. The
meetings and the demonstrations scheduled this week
we'll worth many times than their cost in
time and effort

WARNING AGAINST CRIME

The execution of former resident of Imperial
Valley at San Quentin prison one day last week will
have been entirely in vain if it does deter
rent from crime in this section of California. Capital
punishment cannot serve its serious purpose if it
does not stand warning to those who may have
murder in their hearts "An eye for eye and tooth
for tooth may furnish scriptural warrant for the
forfeiture of life for life but this policy will not
have best subserved its end if it be not held up
signal for guidance in the right path.
The modern tendency of lawmakers is to get away
from the drastic terms of the code which fixes penal
ty equal in character and severity to the crime per-
petrated But in California such statute remains

that in doing it contributing, let US hope in
some degree to warning others against the perpetra-

ONE-ROOM SCHOOL 0UTGROWN

1t is hardly far to attack the little red school
house with such violence as group of representative
women did in one state recently They accused that
historic edflce of being grossly inefficient mpractic-
al and unscientfc apparently forgetful of some of
the excellent work done in that type of schoolhouse
and of the great men and women who have cheerfuy
that they obtained their start in educa
ton in the little district school.
1t cannot be denied however, that whatever its
service in the past the little red school house is now
outgrown by modern educational needs. When there
in single state 1000 schools each of which has
fewer than nine pupils in attendance, it must be ad-
mtted that the system is not suited to present needs
The centralized consolidated school, wherever it is
at all possible, is big improvement over the one-room
and one-teacher school, 1t encourages attendance and
affords better equipment modern and hygienic
conditions, better trained teachers.
Let not condemn utterly the pioneer school
house but, grateful to it for the excellent work it did
in its time from to the sort of schools teachers
and teaching required by the present and future needs
