Judge Reed of the District Court of the First Division heard the ar guments on the injunction suit fil' ed by James Wckersham against various officials using appropria- tions made by this sesson of the Legislature. After hearing the ar guments, Judge Reed stated that owing to the importance of the mat ter, he would take it under advise ment. Pending his decision all ol the items involved wll remain tied up under the restraining order.
 It is possible that criminal ac- tion could be instituted against the Secretary if he accepted any of the moneys appropriated to his use by the legislature. The argument be- ing that as a Federal employee he is precluded from receiving or ac- cepting salary other than paid hinn by the Federal Government.

"A Poor Married Man
 A Big Success

One of the hugest successes on the Petersburg social calendar was the comedy drama, A Poor Mar ried Man" presented in the Vraiety Theatre on Friday evening of last week, under the auspices of the Pe- tersburg Parent-Teacher Associa- tion. Miss Ermina Neuert, one of the. local teachers produced and di- rected the play. The theatre was packed to capacity and then extra seats were placed in the front row for the overflow.
 The cast included MT. John Schoettler as professor Wise inveig- led by shrewish widow into mar riage with her charming daughter Zoie, played by Miss Agnes Wick Compilations arose when one of t 1e college boys, Trygve Strom. who had formerly loved the charming daughter. and college reporter, Miss Caroline McKecknie. called and re e gnized the Professors Mo her in law as the widow of severa, previ ous husbands who had each in turr eaten shrimp salad and mysts-io .s 1y disappeared.

IN THE INTEREST OF PETERSBURG
 WELFARE
OPEN LETTER TO BUSINESS
 MEN OF PETERSBURG

To Businessmen of Petersburg: Gentlemen:
 The trade and the money spent locally is the staff of life of the community. The more spent here. the better schools, streets and va ried improvements. Every dollar earned here and spent elsewhere is just so much strength taken from our district, and hurts each and ev- cryone of us in many ways.
 Now it so happens that because a certain local fish buyer sees fit to save all the fox feed, halibut heads etc., for certan fox rancher, who spends ninety percent of his expense money below and through mail or der houses, we other ranchers, to the number of least twenty find it necessary to go to Wrangell and Ketchikan for at least a part of our fish. And quite naturally, while there, spend for our other necessi- ties.
 This buyer thinks nothing of of fnT 6ino nx1d nn Nf fnx. hn rancher who apparently hypnotized or bribed him as the case may be. Cannot certain wires be pulled by our businessmen to straighten out this friction causing trouble? There ere plenty of heads coming in at present, if shared up properly, to carry all of the ranchers through this vital period when the nursing foxes need fresh food to keep from losing pups. Later when the feed becomes more plentiful is the time to cure and supply dry feed Tor the winter. Why should the business men of Petersburg sit back and let rich man hog and dry the stuff for the future while the less we'll financially fixed rancher starves our through the loss of his pups? Many unfortunate fox ranchers had to give up the fight last fall. Such un- just treatment will cause more to go to the wall.
 Don't let one of the geese that lays golden eggs for Petersburg's s welfare be killed. Lord knows it Is ill enough now.
 Yours truly,

Flood Area Needs Aid

Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover in summarizing the situa- tion in the Mississippi flood area Is qouted as saying that more than $1O, O,0OO,OOO will be required to take care of refugees in that section
 He further states that 33S,OOO people must be cared for in the de- wasted area. Three thousand four hundred square miles of the low land sof Louisiana are covered and the crest of the flood has now pass ed Vicksburg.
 In statement to the press Sec retary is quoted as saying:
 There is about 5000 square miles of Louisiana kept dry by le- wees but these levees, upon which thousands of men are working, have not felt the full power of the food
 Various Alaskan towns are re- spending to the urgent call for h- nancial aid for the sufferers in the flood area. Juneau is reported as having exceeded her quota and yet the drive for more funds is contin- ued. It is to be hoped that the good citizens of Petersburg will contribute their mite for the relief of flood victims.

LEGISLATORS U
 PAS5 THROUGH

Honorable Bartley Howard ana honorable Ben Grfer dropped into the oiace of Ye Alaskan and paid 9 brief visit and their respects.
 dr. howard, president oT the Se- nate needs no introduction to the First Division by virtue of his apol- ogy miscalled Legislative Review in an organ of the morphodite poli- Tical machine, published at Juneau.
 MT. Grier in discussing the Grad uated tax bill defeated n the House said The situation that exists in the Thrd Division was such that a hardship would have been created on tue native population of that divi- slon. The extreme high and swift tides of the Cook Inlet country does not permit of seine or gillnet oper- dLion. These traps are operated by canneries and if prohibitive taxes were imposed it would throw the en- tire population out femployment. (So said also Mr. SchOenwald but no one cognizant with the fishery condition and operation of the local canery believed him nor do records in his divorce proceedings bear out the statement.) Naturally there are two sides to the situation and conditions that exist in this secton are different from those in another district; consequently there can be no panacea. Except the complete destruction of the fisheries but what care the reindeer kings.

GIRL SEVERELY
 INJURED BY FALL
 THROUGH WINDOW

Mamie Martin, twelve-year old native girl fell through the side window of the Variety Theatre and landed on a stump fifteen feet be- low on the beach. A broken collar bone, dislocated arm, a gash on her right cheek which required nine stitches and another gash On top of her head requiring six stitches and any number of other bruises on face and body resulted from the fall.
 The little girl had gone to the window alongside the balcony and was leaning out when the upper section dropped suddenly throwing her off her balance and out the win dow. A half of the window being above the balcony and a half be- low without grating of any sort to prevent any such an accident.
 Margaret McGiltin, who was with Mamie at the time immediately told William Mills and others near by of the accident. Mills went out of tue theatre, jumped from the walk to the ground and picked her up. The girl was unconscious when she was picked up and showed no signs of life until she had been carried almost hundred feet. Mills car lied the girl to the office of Doctor Jones but he was busy on another case and could not render first aid so one of the boys returned to the theatre for Doctor Standard. Anes- thetics had to be given before Drs Standard could put the dislocated arm in place and set the broker collar bone. The little one was un conscious for over fifteen hours an6 at the present time is reported as suffering intensely. It was feared that concussion of the brain nigh result from the accident. At an! event, chances of recovery are yer! poor as the girl is we'll advanced il the stages of tuberculosis. Had sh' unimpaired vitality her chances o recovery would be much greater.
 The parents of the little girl .'Scotty" Martin of Juneau and he mother were divorced a couple o years ago so she was living with grandmother here.
 The wonderful vitality of the lit tie girl is pulling her through a this writing and it is reported sh has a fine chance of recovery fror the accident

HUMAN EXPLAINS FISH
 PRICES AND MARKETS

The local Chamber of Commerce held it's weekly dinner on Wednes- day evening of this week. The two guests of the evening were MT. White of the Alaska Magazine, from Juneau and MT. Nunan of the New England Fish Company, Ketchikan.
 MT. Nunan is president of the K etchikan Commercial Club, extend ed it's greetings to the local club. He set forth facts relative to how the prices of fish fares are determ- ined, which applies to the West Ca nadian as we'll as the Alaska catch. Perhaps no member of the Club and very few fishermen realize just how much the price paid for fish in southeastern Alaska and Prince Ru- pert is effected by fish markets Of Boston and other northeastern t.. s. ports. For instance he pointed out that for the last three years tho catch of halibut off the northeast ern coast has gradually increased and is decidedly more than has oc- cured for many years previously. He also mentioned that exceptional ly large catches of coastwise edible fish has flooded the markets of Boston and other cities at remark ably low price which has materially effected the prices of frozen as well as fresh halibut. He stated that over 100000 lbs. of Alaska frozen halibut from last season is still un sold. This is more than the aver age amount carried over. In his opinion the fact is we'll established that the going price for halibut fares to be frozen will be from IF to 1Sf this season, while those for direct shipping may range 5 or 6e higher.
 He discussed the matter relative to his and other fish companies buy Ing here at Petersburg having urg- ed men of the halibut fleet to sell at Petersburg rather than to run to Ketchikan or Prince Rupert. He sighted some individual cases where men had thought it profitable not to sell here, but after running to Ketchikan and learning the going

JUNEAU AFTER FIRE TRUCK

A petition was being circulated in Juneau this week among the pro- perty owners advocating a new fire truck for that city.

price there and at Prince Rupert had sold at Ketchikan. In the in stances they cleared about $2o more than offered at Petersburg which of course shows loss of both time and money. So MT. Nunan said it was the policy of his com pany and his own personal recom- mendation that it would be advant ageous for the Petrsburg fleet to sell fares here. He also spoke con- corning the plans of dredging what is known as Dry Pass. This would make a short cut particularly for gas boats and transportation of booms of logs. He informed the members that the Ketchikan Com merciaI Club has recently acquired membership in the U. s. Chamber of Commerce and spoke of the ad vantages to be derived therefrom.
 The Petersburg Club took action pursuant to acquiring {. like mem bership for the local Club.
 In his address MT. WhtLs ex plained the plans for the growth and development, scope and purpose of the new Alaska Magazine. He told the Club of the rapid develop ment mad steady increase i'll sub scriptions, and the demand f, om many sources all over the United States. If the ratio of increass in issues is maintained in the fu ure there will be 10000 issued of the August number. Salaried men are on the staff now who are putting in whole time investigations and ex plorations for the magazine, so ti's already high grade set forth in the previous numbers will no'. only he maintained, but improved upon. MT. White stated that many people had ritten the publishers iu iauditory terms of appreciation and that quite number compared them with the National Geographic Magazine, for which comparison they felt justly proud. He also stated that he cou,d could promise the readers of the magazine some wonderful revela tions in the field of National Science and Geographical strata being in- vestigated and explored in Alaska.
