The sessions of the council will be re- plete with instructive discussions and suggestions touching the problems of new markets, shipping salesmanship, advertising, stand ardization of methods, etc. Re cognizing the advantages of the promulgation of the aims and pur- poses of the council, it is earnestly urged that Alaska give it's support and be tittingly represented at the forthcoming session in order to re- ceive the benefit of proceedings manifestly conducive to prosperity and growth"

Junior High School

It is planned to include the seventh and eighth grades with the high school for next year to con- stitute, with the ninth grade, a Junior High School organization. This will mean many advantages impossible under the present system. It will give them longer class periods under teachers who are specialists in a particlar line, will eliminate the disturbance incident to classes being held in a room where others must study, and will permit of additional courses not possible at present.

SCHOOLS
TEACHERS SELECTED
 OF HIGHEST TYPE TO
 BE FOUND ANYWHERE

Not all of the teachers for the coming year have been selected but those who have been added are of the highest type to be found anywhere. The lineup for the coming year, so far as selec- tions have been made, is az follows; Miss Fanette Steele (sis.er of Miss Frances Steele) vii! be in charge of the Primary room; Miss Grace Larkin and Miss Frances Steele will retain the same departments in which they have worked during the year that is just drawing to close, and Miss Nellie Hagerty will, no doubt, continue in the work of ,he ungraded room; Superintendent Hagie is the only hold-over whose work has been with the Junior Senior High School grades. MT. William E.. Mcclellan who has had charge of manual training and the work in Mathematics in the high school of Clemenceau, Arizona dur ing the past three years will be in charge of similar work here. He is an experienced Athletic coach and Boy Scout leader. Miss Eva NJ. Cummins who taught in the Cathlamet, Washington high school during the past year will teach Latin and Spanish besides some of the Junior High subjects. She is qualified to direct Glee Club work and other social activities. Two other teachers are still to be secured, one for the work in Science and the other for the Eng fish and Commercial work A faculty of unusually strong teach CTS seems to be in evidence for the 1925-1926 school year.

CANADIANS THEMSELVES
 RESENT ATTEMPT TO BAR
 AMERICANS FROM CASSIAR
(Reprinted from the Portland Canal

(Reprinted from the Portland Canal
 News of Stewart. B. e.
 Canadians all over British Co., lnmbia will resent the attempt to bar American capital from coming into this province. Certain indi- viduals in this province, because of selfish interests and ulterior mo- tives, arc endeavoring to stifle the mining industry. A recent dispatch referred to a conference between the mining and wholesale bureaus of Vancouver Board of Trade, the B. c. Chamber of Mines, Hon. H. H. |iStevens and J. A Clark, Dominion members of Parliament, at which it was decided to call special meeting of the mining bureau to consider the advisability of sug- gesting to the government that own ership of British Columbia miner als in the future be restricted to British citizens. While every in ducement should be offered to Ca nadian citizens to share in the mining prosperity of this province it would be the worst kind of folly to prevent either American or European capital from investing in this province. The one crying need of the Dominion is capital and We cannot afford to bar it coming from any country. Such are the senti- ments expressed by the editor of the Cranbrook Courier, to which we give endorsement. He adds the opinion that if Canadians would develop national spirit similar to our neighbors to the south, this country would have one hundred million people instead of nine

ABATEMENT LAW
 BEST WEAPON

Padlocks for 40 homes and $50 stores in Minnesota have been put on or will be locked in the next month in District and Federal courts of Minneapolis, while law enforcement agencies set in opera tion the most severe machinery available to punish proven viola tions of the Prohibition law. These places may not be opened for i? months.
 "Once a place is closed under abatement, We never hear of it again as lawbreaking place." said Arthur Markve, assistant county attorney in charge of abatements Tt is the best instrument of en- forcement we have"
 Buildings and homes closed, or about to be closed are worth close to s5,000,000. Property facing abatement in Minneapolis has an average value of s5,OOO. Federal marshals, carrying out abatement orders, have prepared a big sign, which is posted in ever. place closed by court order. Ii never has been used for the pur. pose before.

First Hundred Years of
Railroads Show Progress
BY c. H. Markham, President Illinois
Central system.


This year is the centennial of the
railroads. 1t was on September ~,
1926, that the Stockton &. Darlington
Railway in England was thrown open
to operation under an act that pro-
vided for hauling of wagons and other
carriages upon the line with men or
horses or otherwise" "Otherwise"
was the loophole which allowed George
Stephenson, engineer of the road and
an experimenter with steam engines,
to persuade his company to use. a
steam locomotive to haul its first train.
That train, with it's prophetic load Of
coal, flour and passengers, moved at
an average rate of eight miles an hour.
Only few years after the opening
of the worlds first railroad, in Eng
land, our own nation took up the nov
city, with what result you all can
recognize today. Railroads, it seemed
were exactly what the vast land areas
Eof this country needed The United
States today is, above all others, 8
railroading nation. The people of our
than the people of most countries do
because the greater part of our exist.
country owe more to the railroads
ence and growth as an Independent
nation has been coincident with the
railway era. Today, with only about
one-sixteenth Of the worlds land area,
we possess in this country approx
imately one-third of the total railway
mileage of the world, and our railroads
lead those Of all other nations in the
high quality and low cost of their
service.
Our nation today is the richest and
most advanced nation of the world.
1t has become so largely because 1t
has enjoyed for nearly century a
form of transportation excellently
adapted. to its great distances and it's
wide variety of products. Because Of
cheap and efficient railway transpor-
tation, available in all parts of the
country, the products of all regions
today are to be obtained in every
region. The products of every region
can be and are marketed in all re-
gions. Passengers are moved long
distances with great rapidity.

Among the charges which the meet
ing next month may be expected to
develop for the attention of Congress,
government officials and the public
are the following:
1. Penetration of government bod
les into business denotes almost in
variably an effort by those in public
office to perpetuate their tenure.
2. Lack of successful methods,
efficient management and the driv-
ing force created by prospects Of
genuine industrial progress forces
government production costs higher
than those of private business organi-
cations.
8. Government enterprises, usn
ally launched under the pretext of
saving money through elimination Of
private profit, almost invariably re-
suit in the wasting Of public money,
with the losses concealed by refusals
to employ cost accounting systems
that truly indicate expenses involved.
4. Extension of business activities
in the realm of government is in ex-
act accord with the dictates Of the
basic theories of communism.

GETS REPORT ON WORK
FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS
Bishops Guild Of Episcopal Diocese
Holds Meeting, With DR..
Freeman Presiding.

At the meeting Wednesday OF the
Bishops Guild of the Episcopal Church
Of the diocese Of Washington, in st. Al
bans Guild Hall, Bishop Freeman, who
presided, heard the reports OF Is organ
izations of the church, composed of or
working for women and girls.
The reports showed growth in mem
bership and resources. OF marked i'm
portance were the various efforts made
for children and for the aged. The first
report of the Episcopal Church Home
ever made to the Bishops Guild showed
this institution, with a house at 1915
Wisconsin avenue, was opened in No
vember and Is now caring for five
elderly women.
Bishop Freeman spoke and said he
has hopes for the early completion of
the National Cathedral on Mount st.
Alban. Although there have been no
very large gifts in recent months,
there is a steady inflow of money for
building purposes, and the bishop has
a firm faith that gifts of Importance
will increase during the Spring, so
that the work of construction need
not be curtailed. To proceed with the
erection of the transepts, the next
part of the structure to rise above
the main floor, will require pledges in
hand before July / next amounting to
So, 1000 900. This Is the present aim
OF the bishop.
