Local Schools Open Tuesday
 September 8
Seventh and Eighth Grades Will Be Included With the High School as Junior High School Organi. tion.-Faculty Has Six New Mem bers.

The 1925-26 school year will be- gin for the Wrangell boys and girls on Tuesday morning, September 5. There will be six new teachers on the force and a general reorganiza- tion of the work.
 The most important change in the school organization is the inclu- sion of the 7th and Sth grades with the high school as junior high school organization. They will benefit by having larger class peri ods, contact with more and better trained teachers, study hall priyi- leges and supervision and most of all in being able to proceed with advanced work even though they have failed in one or more subjects without being compelled to take all the work over again as would be the case under the old type of organization.
 In the grade school building work will be carried on only up to the sixth grade. The first grade will be so large that it has been found necessary to assign them the entire time of one teacher. Miss Fannette Steele, who has been es- pecially trained for the primary work will have charge of the room.
 The second and third grades which are both small will occupy one room in charge of another teacher Miss Helen Homer, who is also new in the system. Miss Lar kin will have charge of the fourth grade and about half of the fifth grade group and Miss Frances Steele will continue her work with the sixth grade and the more ambitious of the fifth grade group Miss Hag- erty will continue in charge of the ungraded room where she did such excellent work during the past year.
 The seventh, eighth and ninth grade pupils will register at the high school assembly room Tuesday morning from g o'clock until noon, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors will not be required to present themselves for registration until 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.

PROFESSIONAL RODENT EXTERMINATORS NOW ON
 TRIP THROUGH ALASKA

Two young women, Miss Helen Caldwell and Miss Anna May Wright, the former of Huntington, West Virginia, and the latter of Portsmouth, Virginia, arrived in Ju- neau on the Alameda Wednesday for the purpose of exterminating our rats. The young women have waged war on rats in 31 states and in Ha- waii and are here to add Alaska to their list of laurels Before coming to Alaska they operated in a number of cities in the state of Washington. reserying Seattle to tackle after they conquer the rodents of Alaska.
 The warfare waged on rats by the young women is through the agency of poison and, as the pro rata of rats to people averages to l, they estimate that Juneau's rat popula- tion is between 1000 and 5000. all though Ketchikan would prooably not allow us more than 5000. How ever Juneau is ready to count rats with Ketchikan any time.
 The young women also estimate that each rat does damage to the amount of s1.S2 each year. which means that Juneau's "ratage" is up- ward of s13.000 every year. $780, 900 in ten years or more than a quarter of a million in 20 years. War has already been instituted and no quarter will be shown until we are almost if not wholly ratless.- Stroller's Weekly.

Japanese Fight
 Language School
 Law in Honolulu

HONOLULU, Sept. Some ev- idence of the determination with which Japanese language schools in this territory are fighting the pres II language school laws is found i'll the fact that during the past two
 ra they have spent more than 525,000 in this cause alone.
 This is according to an affidavit t.!ed in the United States District Court here by Dr, Henry B. schwartz, who holds a position in the territorial department of public instruction under the title of direc- tor of language schools.
 The affidavit says that in the foreign language schools 1.73 per cent of the pupils are aliens and 9S 27 per cent are citizens, where as in the public schools 24 per cent of the pupils are aliens and approximately 97 6 Der cent are citizens. The percentage of Ameri- can pupils, according to the affida- wit, is greatest in the lower grades, and lowest in the higher grades. there being for example, 49 aliens in one of the Japanese High schools.
 It is of interest to note that the cost of the suit thus far is considerably higher than the fees to which the schools are objecting so strenuously. which fees have been temporarily withheld under injunc- ton proceedings.

Tt is fully realized that this type of regulation would be far more eX pensive to the Bureau to enforce and there would be strenuous ob- jections raised by the operators in the fishing industry; the plea being made that a weekly closed season is not efficient; however. attention is called to the fact that in places where the Bureau maintains weirs and it has several of them at the present time, it has been noted that on the two days following the week ly closed period the escapement at the weir is greatly increased and then tapers off as fishing operations get under way"
 A regulation of this character would cause the industry to take toll on all qualities of fish and not permit the concentration on the higher grades. Mir. O'Malley further said that he is not prepared at this time to say that he shall recommend a regulation of this character until

0'MALLEY CONSIDERING REvIs- ION OF LOCAL REGULATIONS
 GIVES REASONS

SEATTLE, Sppt. 1.-Commission- CT of Fisheries Henry O'Malley, who arrived here today after a two months tour in Alaska, said the salmon pack in the Southeastern section of the Territory nearly equals that of last year, which totalled 2,700,000 cases.
 O'Malley found the salmon beds we'll seeded in the Southeastern sec tion, which he said speaks well for the future of the industry in that district"
 He reported the pack was short at Port Moller and a financial fail ure at Squaw Harbor, Inatan, King Grove and False Pass. He pronounc- ed thepack in Prince William Sound "very good considering the short year"
 O'Malley defended the 64-hour closing period at Port Moller and said a complete closure of that area is under consideration to permit re- mobilization of the salmon fisheries.
 O'Malley said the pack to the westward is 30 to 35 per cent short of last years and added We applied regulations in the Bristol Bay district to conserve the fish. Any such movement is bound to injure some people but I desire to distribute the burden iustly."

fish. Any such movement is bound to injure some people but I desire to distribute the burden justly"
 That possible change in the close season policy on commercial salmon fishing is being seriously considered by the Bureau of Fisheries for Southeastern Alaska was indicated today August 27l by Commissioner Henry OMalley. Final decision in the matter will not be made. how ever, for several weeks.
 The practice of transferring fish taken from the waters in open areas to canneries located in districts in which the season has closed has brought the question out, it was said. This has resulted in intensive fish ing and if not corrected it is feared may lead to everlasting.
 Law Not Ample
 In discussing fishery regulations, Mir. O'Malley stated, it is to be re- gretted that the present law does not give the necessary authority to permit regulations being formulated that would prevent the hauling of fish caught in an open area into an area where the season is closed, making it possible for canneries to operate.
 This condition exists during the present sea son in the Kctchikan dis trict, namely Large quantities of fish have been hauled from the Wrangell District and West Coast of Prince of Wales Island and canned in the Ketchikan area where the season closed four days earlier" he said. This is also true of the dis trict north of the 5Sth parallel. Fish were caught in the southern dis trict and hauled to Port Althor for canning after the season closed. Se- rious consideration is being given to the formulating of a regulation that will establish a longer weekly period and terminate the season on the same date in all sections of Southeastern Alaska. It is felt that this in a measure would greatly re- duce the transferring of fish from one area to the other and prevent the increasing of gear in the local ity where the season is open a few lays longer.

then reject the bad and keep the
