VESSELS
 CLOSE GALL

Stories that come from the Vest ward tell of stories that give thrill at the heroism of men who toll by the sea. The venus which staggered into port probably had the most thrills of any small vessel in the storm. Riding at her sea anchors she was swept by huge comber which threw her on her side sweep ing her decks of gear and tearing her dories loose. A second comber followed tearing her pilot hoose off, after the crew had cut away wreck age from the decks. The vessel t,lledwith water before temporary coverings could be put on the en- trance to the engine room The engineer was on watch for 24 hours without rest making repairs, clearing Iireline and getting pumps in work ing order before he went forward for coffee. Every stitch of available clothing, oil skins and canvas pos sible was hung over the side with oil to break the force of the seas. She staggered into Kodiak without pilot house but with a man at each tlller line. That she survived the fury of the seas will go down in his- tory as an epic of the North Pacific fisheries.
 l The Sitka, also in the storm limp ed into port with all her deck gear and dories gone and pilot house stove in. Other vessels riding at anchor in Seward harbor were com pelled to pull up anchor and search for better holding ground. The Ad- miral Wason, laying at the dock in Seward had to pull away from the dock and steam around the outer
 har bor as the waves coming in en- dangered both ship and dock
 So far no casualties had been re
 ported. A small launch with three
 men reported as being lost wal
 found riding safely at anchor in : iquiet harbor.

LI7ERACY BILL
 PASS CONGRESS

A literacy test bill for voters in Alaska is provided for in House Bill r.lssed by the House of Representa- tives and passed this week by the Senate.
 The bill provides that every per son. before being allowed to vote, shall without assistance, legibly sign his or her full name, sex and address, in the registration or poll book. If it then appears to any of the election officers that such person is unable to read or write, the cleo tion officers may require the would be voter to read, in their presence, in the English language passage of not less than 10 lines chosen at ran dom from the Constitution of the United States and to write in English 10 or more consecutive words simil- arly chosen from the Constitution.
 The bill was favorably reported by the Committee on Territories at the last session of Congress. Rep resentative Curry of California, chairman of the committee, said of the bill in February that the test pro -vided in the bill is in accord with the laws of most of the States, add irg: Most of the very few States that have no lietracy test fc" voter have no need for it, since there is scarcely any illiteracy in those States, and the majority of the States have even stronger provisions than is included in the bill" Adding 'The literacy test is to protect the Government from the dangers incl dent to the control of elections by the group-voting of the illiterate citizenry."
 A committee amendment to the bill was accepted by the House and was incorporated in the law as pass ed by the Senate, providing that a voter who exercised his franchise in 1924 election will be allowed to vote in the future, even though he be il- literate.

YACA ACA LII.

Letters which have reached An chorage recently from Nagataga oil drilling operations under way, fail to confirm rumors which have been in circulation to the effect that Gil has been encountered, but they arc optomistic, and the indications appear to be very promising. Latest information received was to the eff that the we'll was down 1040 feet. A heavy flow of gas was encountered during the early stages of drilling and there is said to have been steady gas pressure all the way down. It is the opinion of those familiar with the geology of the Yagataga field that oil may be encountered at al- most any depth there, which pro- bably accounts for the ready accept ance of the report which has been in circulation in Anchorage during the last several days.

 IN WATSON

Members of the wrecked halibut schooner Scandia were on the Ad- miral Watson enroute to Seattle
 The vessel was under charter to the Commission making scientific study of hailbut and was on her ninth trip when she encountered the storms last week which drove her shelter. Beating her way into Ko- diak and following the bell buoy marking the channel, she struck reef, with huge combers breaking over the vessel. The crew managed to launch the remaining dory but leaving several men on the wreck od vessel. Wireless message had been sent to Kodiak so that help ar rived just before the vessel made its plunge to Davy Jones' locker. The entire crew escaping with nothing but what they had on their backs and some had mighty little of that as most of the crew were in their hunks.
 The members of the crew speak most highly and kindly of the recep- ticn and care by the good people of Kodiak.

 SEPARATE GYM
P. T. A. MEETING

A A The Petersburg Parent-Teachers' 1 Association meeting Wednesday ev-
 ening was we'll attented and good program was given by the pupils of Miss Vick's room, assisted by several others. The numbers consisted of a violin solo by Solvefg Wick, a group song by the boys of Miss Vick's
 room, and another song by the girls
 chorus. A Pantomime was also giv- en by the fourth grade pupils and
 Mrs. Ed Locken also entertained
 with a very delightful reading. The regular business session fol-
 lowed the program in which routine matters were handled.
 The long looked for report from
 the committee appointed to canvas the matter of the need for tn erection of additional school rooms and the
 much discussed gymnasium.
 The chairman of the committee,
 Mir. Jack Schoettler was absent nurs- ing sore teeth. (probably due to promises made the Petersburg Ath- letic Association) and the report was given by Mayor Edward Locken. He reported that after much consider ation and investigation, the commit tee had decided to recommend that the P. T. A. go on record and request l the City Council to erect additional school rooms and gymnasium during the coming summer The report was accepted and the recommendation adopted.
 A communication was read from the Secretary of the P. T. A. Council
 of the Territory relative to the advis-
 ibiliy of arranging for lecture or i a musical entertainments for the com
 ing season to be given in the differ
 ont cities having Parent-Teacher As
 sociations. The local organization instructed the secretary to write for
 more detailed information before ac- , ton was taken by the Association. A communication was read from
 the Fairbanks P. T. A. relative to a
 bill that is to be introduced in the
 Legislature asking that the Territor-
 ia1 appropriation for the maintain
 ance of the schools be raised from
 75 percent to 80 percent.
 This increase would not benefit Petersburg at present, but it is only a matter of short time until the to- tal expense budget for the To-
 cal schools will have exhausted this
 75 percent now provided by law and
 Petersburg will need the additional
 amount. For this reason the local
 F. T. A. went on record as approving the measure and instructed the Sc lcretary to so inform the Fairbanks organization and also to send re quest to the Senators and Represent Aatives of our district asking theil
 support of this measure.
