MUSIC DEPARTMENT
By Evalyn Brown

Miss Purtell has started a very
complete musical department anC
a great interest in it is manifested
throughout the school. More thar
fifty girls and nearly twenty boys
have Joined the different classes anc
much unlocked for talent has beer
discovered.
Last Monday morning at $50 the
Harmony Class enrolled. Because OF
their diligent practice of the scales
they have been designated by some
Of the less industrious members OF
the school as "The Howling Class. .
On Tuesday evening Orchestra
practice began and H. C. H. S. has
hopes for some home music in the
near future. Those taking part SC
far are George Vargas and JOSEPH
Lorentz, violins, Ida Gregg and
Edmund Reconzone, mandolins
Mr.. Gray, cornet; Bertrafn English
saxophone; Evalyn Brown, piano
Miss Purtell and Mr.. Brady are the
leaders, and if diligent practice and
superior training can make sue.
cessful orchestra we shall certainly
have one.
Mr.. Brady has also volunteered to
give violin lessons and on Wednes-
day evening a large class of more
then forty students and alumni be.
gan their training.
Friday after Student Body meet
ing, the girls had their voices tested
by Mrs. Brady who has volunteered
to lead the Glee Club, and practice
was started at that time.
Because Of the scarcity of violins
and because of the large number OF
students wishing to take lessons a
fund has been started for the pur-
chase of several of these instru-
ments which are to be kept by the
school and loaned to those of the
class and of future classes who have
no instruments of their own. Quite
few dollars have already been
donated. We hope more donations
will come in, for without the instru-
ments many of the class will not be
successful in learning to play.

Thus was the freshman class Of

were read as they appeared in the company's pamphlet, MT. Rustgard claiming he WAS credited therein witt having made certain statements de rogatory to tho Guggenheim interest when the interview did not so show and that the statements in question were really made by tine correspond ent and not himself. The Attorney General said he had never made any unkind statements regarding the com pahy nor had he ever written letter containing such statements The Gug genheims, he added. had done a great deal for the Territory and Al asAa wants and needs more compan des 11ke them.
 He criticized the company's pamph let sharply, declaring it was not au thentic. contained inaccuracies and sad he was sure if MT. Knickerbock er or "Jim" Fozard had seen it be fore it was mailed out, 1t would never have left the company's offices. Later MT. Knlckerbocker said he accepted fall responsibility for the pamphlet and that iSf it contained ,mis-state ments the company would see that they were publicly corrected after proof was given showing their in, correctness.
 Mir. Rustgad said. not only did he hxve. data in his files to support the cont tentions made in his report
The Alaska daily empire., 1923-04-05

but he had secured additional data since it was published. He quoted from an expense bill as an evidence of the unfairness of rates between Seattle and Alaskan ports as com pared to those between Seattle and San Franclsco. He reiterated his statement that seasonal traffic in Alaska was no greater than on oth- CT routes, citing port entry statis- tics on vessels loaded and in ballast in support bcreof.
 He disputed the company's conten- ton relative to the disparity of costs of operating 1,500-ton boats, and 15.0O0-ton ships. He claimed a1 al legged discrepancy existing in, ship ment of rubber boots cited, coming from New York to Seattle on the Mo torship Kennecott and to Juneau on the Jefferson. The freight on the first leg of the voyage, he said, was $1510, and from Seattle to Juneau $2727.- The same rate, he said, would have prevailed on the Alameda. As to size, he alleged, the Kennecott was only 300 tons larger than the Alameda. consequently the lower rate could not have resulted from the disparity in tonnage. MT. Knicker- booker, in his statement later. de- clared the tonnage figures used by the Attorney General were absolutely untrue, that the Kennecott has a cargo capacity of some 5000 tons more than the Alameda.

DOUBLE BILL AT LIBERTY PROVES TO BE BIG HIT

Bought and Paid For" with three we'll known stars, and big comedy by Harold Lloyd, two fast reels, made up corking good bill at the Liberty Theater last night The audi ence was well pleased with the dou- ble bill and attosted to that when leaving the theater It is on again tonight for the last time, only one show
 Bought and Paid For is from the great stage success of George Broad hurst. AS screened with Jack Holt, Agnes Ayres, Walter Hiers and Lesh Wyant in the leading roles, and with the exquisite setting by William de Mile, the film version is better than that seen on the stage One Of the thrilling scenes was when with only a door between her and her drink crazed husband-only thin panel of wood separating her from her dear est possession-an every moment the fiend in the man was triumphing. What was she to do? What could she do? What was to be the end?
 Bought and Paid For" was the cruel boast he hurled at her. Yes, all but hcr self-respect had been Bought and Paid For" and that could never be bought. There is a big scene well done.
 The comedy by Harold Lloyd was immense and the two reels took big last night.

one of the companv's ships had it been available at any single sailing date and much cheaper. In reality, he said, the cargoes went forward on 40 salings of eight differslt yes. sels.
 Refers to Measurement System He emphatically denied MT ..e st. gard's charge that the Alaska lines are the only ones using the wright or measurement system optional with the ships. In this regard he said In view of the fact that an i; pee. ton of a great many tariff sheets of steamship lines operating on othe, than Alaskan waters discioJcl defi nitely that the weight or measure ment basis is positively in effect it is 1 Difficult to escape the conclusion that perhaps this feature was not very carefully inquired into. l have with me tariffs eff some IA water trans portation lines operating in American waters which show beyond question that the weight or measurement sys- tenn is actually in effect" He filed a statement with the committee list ing these lines.
 Denies Box Shook Rate
 He further denied there is any dis crim.nation on the rate on box shocks originating in Seattle and those originating in Alaska destined for points within the Territory. The Seattle tariff on this commodity, he said, is $5, and the company's tariff sheets, he added, positively forbid a higher rate than that being charged from any Alaskan point to another point in the Territory He quoted Canadian Pacific tariffs between Van couver and Prince Rupert to estab- fish a comparison with Alaskan idess and show that the American com panies are not exceeding tn, Can adian tariffs He deEed th- Attor ney Generals statement that $9 per ton is the lowest sSuthbo1ad rate. quoting rates on salmon, pickled fish. fish oil. fertilizer all of which were under 80.
 In conclusion, MT. Knickerbocker denied that excessive rates are caus- ing an industrial decline In Alaska. He sand that census returns for the past 30 years show increases in in- dustries, towns and population in every section of Alaska except those parts where bonanza placer deposits have been worked out. Nome, he pointed out, declined in population between 1900 and 1910 some 5000 individuals, whilo during the same period freight rates were decreased from $40 to $l1 per ton. Gradual depletion of the placer diggings was the cause of this condition. In other sections of Alaska where similar con ditions prevailed there were similar causes. In Southeastern, Central and Western Alaska sections, he declared, there have been steady and substan- tial increases of industry, population and settlements since 1900.
 Low rates, he argued. will not in crease tonnage where there Is noth- ing to haul, nor induce settlement where there are no industries.

coastal shipments or ntercontinental
 traffic are obviously unfair unless the volume of business, size of car riers and other factors governing the entire transportation industry were also taken into consideration. which he alleged MT Rustgard has not done. The average monthly bust ness moving between the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards, he added, is greater fin volume than the entire yearly business of tho Alaskan trade
 He said the tables of distances used by the Attorney General are in- correct and misleading The actual distances he said were: Seattle to Ketchikan, 754 miles, Juneau 1,032, cordova 1903, Seward 1886, Anchor ago 2,144, as compared to Mir. Rust gard's figures of TOO, 1000, 1850, 1350 and 1,500 miles respectively. He gave statements of the Alaska traf- fic of the company for each month in the year to prove it's seasonal character. He denied the statement that the company had received more under joint traffic arrangements with the Alaska Railroad for through rates than it wouiu nave under local rates and quotes actllal--tonnage figures and receipts which he said proved that the revenue received was 21 per cent less than would have been the case under local rates. The entire tonnage, he added, of this kind was slittle more than 5000 tons and could have been handled on one saiilag Of

When such growth and development materializes, there naturally follows a flow of traffic in other commodi- ties, already highly developed, that can we'll afford to pay reasonable remunerative rates It is upon these rates on other commodities < thai in the final analysis compensate the carriers for having in the first instance wisely fixed a low rate upon the basic commodity or resource that enabled its complete developm ent, that built up towns and prosperous lumber and mining centers that are vtally necessary to the prosperity of the country. More .cr less criti- ciam has been freely directed against the steamship companies operating in Alaska because they saw fit to establish what are charged as low rates on canned salmon and cannery supplies, ere. etc, although I have not so far heard that we have been criticized for naming very low rate on wood pulp. which is as much a basic commodity as mining, fishing or agriculture. Apparently, we are criti cized. on one hand, for what gre termed excessive rates, and then when we endeayor to contribute to- wards the growth and development Of the country along recognized fun damental principles, we are charged with discrimination"
 Comparisons Are Unfair
 He declared that comparisons be- tween Alaskan traffic and inter-

MT. Rustgar said figures used in his report relative to the weight or measurement system and resultant rates were ultra conservative in view of the additional information brought out in the company's pamphlet. Can nery companies. he added. are get ting cargoes hauled for one-third of what the rest eff the Territcry pays for less expensive service. The yeal reason, he charged, is not that the companies desire to build up the canning industry. but because if more were charged, the canners would put on their own vessels.
 The fact about rates, he declared, is that the tariffs levied by the steamship companies have placed the Alaskan people four times as far away from the nearest American markets as Hongkong is distant from the Golden Gate.
 Refutes Certain Figures
 MT. Knicke,backer. who read from a carefully prepared statement, went into detail on many matters. He lOUh up al SOHiS ltuSln lHC itpOi of the Attorney General, giving par- ticular attention to the alleged enormous profits claimed by t to have been made by the Alaska Steam ship Company Those, he said, were so ridiculous as to merit little con sderaticn He gave a detailed ac- count of the company's stock trans acMons and said for .5he 1S years it had been in operation it has aver aged less than per cent on its capital stock.
 Referring to the rate On wood pulp, he said Mir. Rustgard's report left the inference that $5 per ton is the present carrying charge. This $ not the case, the present rate being $3. The actual cost of moving these cargoes from Speel River to Port Angeles. he added, without including any overhead es other general OK penses, Is $3.55 per ton. However, we are not undIly aprTehens.ve be cause we saw fit tc name a rate nf- ficiently low to move the pulp. which is one of A.aska's industries whlsA we trust will steadily increase an1 develop, and it is obvious that If tlis is to be accomplished rats taat will permit the marketing of tho product is yitally essential, ns de- clared

Establish Basic Rates

Outlining the policy of he con- pany in general. Mir Knicker5ocher said: 'fIt is a recognized p7drtice of common carriers generally h the making of rates, to establish as low rates as possible upon what are known as basic commodities, such as wood pulp, lumber and other forest products, ore, coal, salt and can.- ad fish. Such low rates are established solely fer the purpose of enabling q full development of mines, flsh.eg. pulp, agriculture, lumber and similar resources of the country. Past ex- perience has shown beyond any GGes- tion of doubt, that active industsi1l development of natural resources brings in its wake prosperous com
