Petersburg rg=Pwss

The fact that fifteen king salmon taken from the Point Colpoys trap of the Petersburg Packing Co. thi. week were bright as a dollar. has given rise to belief that the salm- on run this year may equal normal proportions. although it will be very late. Ordinarily. very few. if any king salmon are caught in the Col poys trap after the early weeks in June that are bright. and by July in former years they have been a mud dy color
 The run this year. if there is any. will be too late to be of any material aid to some canneries to the north Petersburg and indications are tha. there will be a much smaller pack all over in the Territory this year than in former years The entire Boring Sea district was closed Tues day. five days earlier than usual be cause Of the small run of fish and similar action may take place il southeastern Alaska if the run is small. il has been intimated.
 The local eannery has only 5000 cases packed to date. nearly 32.006 cases less than they had up this tim last year. and only a small numbe of salmon are showing up anywher in the districts from which the loca eannery obtains it's fish. Despit this situation. Ernest schoenwa believes that there is still time to ge a normal pack, providing that :. normal run of salmon commence sometime within the next ten day or two weeks. Tn 1924. the loca cannery put up 80,00O cases of saln on within a period of slightly nor. than three weeks during the mont of August and it is entirely possibl that this can be duplicated this yea. providing of course that the salmol show up. One hundred thousan cases is a normal pack for this can nery

up the trade situation. American firms doing business in the Latin American countries have been heard from and Hoover Is lending an eager ear. Hoover is one of these alert men who like to show in- creases n trade rather than de- ereases.
 The Latin Americans In all pro- bability have adopted the Chinese systen, Of taking revenge on the foreign traders when they think they are not being treated properly. When the foreign traders include Americans we don't like it overly well. The feeling Of solidarity in the I.atin-Amercan countries has been fostered by Uncle Sam, and it was all right as long as we enacted the role of the big brother; when we got out the big stick, however. the harmony changed to static.

25 Kedrs Ago Today

There was q fire at Maple Hill
 last evening which had all the car marks of an incendiary. The old residence formerly owned by Dr. A.
 B. Johnson and sold by him to James Garfield was burned to the ground. The house has been un- occupied and it's owner had made
 arrangements to move it to another site. It is said that man was seen
 driving away from the house short ly before the fire broke out. Con siderable excitement was created in Maple Hill. The house was insured for about $500, which is probably
 about as much as it was worth. Manager Howard Hart Of the Russell X Erwin plant has decided
 10 install in that factory the restaur- ant system which has proved so successful at the Stanley Works. The matter is in charge of B. B. Bassettc. Arrangements will be
 made for feeding 800 men during the noon hour.

reasonableness could survive through such a dispute there is q likelihood that there would be less Of an argument. But if the two stocks" are to consider their inter- ests contrary to the point where one side wishes to avoid the teaching of English in American schools, and the other insists that this is an essential. then the stage is set for spirited tussle. The amendment to the constitution, of course. will have to be voted upon at a general election. We rather think the "alien stock" with such privilege, will outvotc the native sons" After that is done, the teaching of English in all the schools can be-probably will be--continucd.

THE STATE OF MAINE

They say the state Of Maine is also something like state of mind. 1 There must be something In the 1 claim. AS is well known the state
 of Maine has prohibited the eXpor- tation of electric power and con-
 tinues to do so. The legislature of the state of Maine attempted to 1 abrogate this stringent law but the
 governor vetoed the bill after it was i passed and tue legislature did not
 muster sufficient strength to pass 1t over the governmental veto. Thus , Maine will continue 10 bar exports of power--and 1t must be remem- bered that Maine is New Englands S greatest reservoir of hydro electric possibilities.
 The remainder of New England
 has had some cause to be irritatcd at the attitude of Maine: but the careful conservators Of Maine's
 natural resources point out that the
 big power companies are en-
 gagged in relentless mergers Of in-
 terstate resources If the big power
 companies, it is argued, could get
 hold of Maine's power resources.
 what a nice field for profit it would
 be. We pause to reflect, and are in-
 clined to agree.
 The power trust would do very
 little for Maine while lining Its
 own pockets. The people in the re-
 mander of this tier of states would
 not get any cheaper power, either,
 as that isn't the object of mergeritis. The province of New Brunswick, however, which lies just to the north of Maine. has No. Il kick coming. It seems that northern Maine i'm ports power from New Brunswick, and If there is to be no export Of water from certain northern Maine , lakes, rivers and dams, there may 1 be no export of power from New Brunswick to Maine The idea, it seems, works both ways.
 IL would seem that Maine has an easy way out of the difficulty by
 setting up its own power machinery
 in the northern counties. Having | the water in plenitude, why not possess the enterprise to build the power houses, instead of relying up- on the Canadians?

POLITICS IN PLAINVILLE

When scnOol committee IS afraid to permit representatives of the press to attend It's meeting 1t is proof of a fear the public might learn too much. It makes no diff ference whether 1t has not been the custom for 15 years or more to have newspaper representatives at the meeting: they should always be wei comed if they wish to attend.
 Now one finds that in Plainvllc, where the school committee refused entrance to press representatives, a school upheaval is In progress. Suf- ficient Of the why's and wherefore are known to arouse consternation among the citizenry. All that the school committee wished 10 hide, and much more besides, will become public property. The names of some prominent men will undoubtedly be linked with politics alleged to have been played. The truth will out, and much more besides. That will be the unfortunate part of the affair. 1; Is always best for public body to play with the public by placing all the cards on the table: when that isn't done suspicious are arous- ed. and rightly so.
 The resignation of Lewis s. Mills, superintendent of schools, is q per fectly proper procedure if brought about lesitimately or for good req sons. The school committee. how ever. hasn't given good reason.
 Instead, it has become known that Leon C. Staples, to be his sue cessor, had secret meetings with the school committee; that all this took place at the time without the knowledge Of Mills: that if there was any legitimate dissatisfaction with Mills he was not given chance to appear before the board and give his side.
 Anyway. the entire school system in Plainville appears destined to be affected. The resignations appear to be as numerous as there are teach CTS. Citizens. Of course, are privi- lcged to think that either the school committee is right or that the teachers are right; We have an idea that most citizens will side with the teachers and that good many pointed questions will be asked Of the school committee if its members don't succeed in shutting themselves up too tightly.
 Politics in the conduct Of q town $ school plant is a poor example Of civic spirit.
 No charges whatever were made against the retiring superlntcndent' the school committee chairman an nounccs. The committee regretted 10 have him leave after the splendid work he had done here for the past II years"
 Politics forced me out" says the retiring upcrlntendent, blaming E.. T. Erastow, alleged dictator of the boards policy and employed at the Trumbull plant.
 Politics. if any exists in this up hcaval, evidently flows from high places.
