Small Schools Most
 Expensive

That there is in general a direct relation between the size and the cost of schools is shown by the fol- lowing study of per capita costs per pupil day in schools in incor- porated cities for the school year 1925-26. Further than this, no special conclusions can be drawn. All schools listed offer high school work. Per capita costs per pupil include expenses for both element ary and high schools. Varying con- ditions in Alaska reflected in lack of uniformity in teachers salary schedules and in cost of operation of the school plant make compari- son of costs in a school of a certain size in one section with a school of similar size in another section pos sible.

Trollers Strike Settled
 This Week

The strike which has been under way for the past several weeks was brought to an end this week when the buyers agreed un the mat ter of weights and the fishermen agreed to drop on the price of sal mon.
 The strike was called, first at Port Alexander when a predomin- ance of salmon just under 16 pounds was being caught. The fish ermen asked a price of 16 and s cents per pound for salmon with a 15 pound limit; as an alternative they asked 20 and cents with the 16 pound limit. Early last week it was rumored that the two forces had about come to an agreement and early settlement was expected. However the buyers held out on the matter of weights and the fishermen refused to go out and fish until the matter had been adjusted.
 Tuesday of this week the buyers agreed to give in on the weight H- init if the fishermen would drop on the prices. Having secured their demand on the weights the fisher men weer wiling to give way the difference on their demands per pound It is reported that the sal mon are running we'll and the fish, ermen making good catches.

The Law of Compensa-
 tion Invoked

The three-months old baby girl of Mrs Edna Behovic died Tues day morning under circumstances that led to an official investigation. However, the coronor's jury found no evidence that would tend to in~ criminate anyone. After viewing the remains and listening to the professional testimony of Dr. H. c. Story the jury rendered a verdict stating that it was their belief that the baby was accidentally smother ed. Wrangell Sentinel.
 Mrs. Behovic while in an intoxi- cated condition lifted her baby from it's crib to nurse it. She evidently fell on it and smothered it as blood on the bedlinen indicated force and pressure.
 That the mother had no inten- tion to deliberately put away the life of her child is generally believed by those who know her while others say that it was only a matter of time when intoxicated she would accidentally kill the little one The emporary joy and pleausure ob- tained from liquors cannot now, ev- CT recompense for the sorrow and loss of the little one.

EXTRACT OF
 NOTHING''

After the adjournment of the last session of the Legislature ap- peared an editorial in Juneau pa per with the above caption.
 Since adjournment of the legis- lature the cannerymen have been more occupied with their business of preparing for the canning sea- son than ,dictating policies for resi- dent Alaskans. That the Territory is already benefitting by the fight put up by the Regular Progress i've Republicans can not be denied in view of facts set forth by repre- sentatives of the canners and others.
 A recent story in the Empire is as follows:
 PACKERS EMPLOY LOCAL HELP
 IN LARGE NUMBERS
 Hoonah Missionary Says Salmon
 Gamers are Doing Real Good
 Work"
 Salmon canners of this district are employing available local la Dor and particularly trying to i'm prove conditions among the Indian population" Rev. George J. Beck, of Hoonah, told the Chamber of Commerce today. "They are really trying to support local labor and are doing good work" he added.
 Plants All Active
 All of the plants were actively preparing for the season and, if there are normal fish runs, will have a successful season, he said. The tendency to employ local help is more general at present, he add ed, than in former years.
 At the Deep Sea Salmon Co.'S plant at Port Althorp, August Buschmann was building new hous- es, and had 30 Indians employed at the plant. He was also employ ing fishermen from Hoonah. After getting the plant ready for the sea- son, Mr. Buschmann, instead of lay ing off his local help, put them to work grubbing stumps and clearing. away land around the cannery. The Astoria & Puget Sound Can ming Company at Excursion Inlet followed the same poicy, and gen erally all the packers are trying to improve conditions and hire local workmen, MT. Beck said.-Empire.
 That yeast. cake" made famous during the elections of last Novem- 'ber will turn out some good dough" which ocal businessmen will be abe to put on their counters if Alaska has much more agitation for PAT0NIZING HOME LABOR and giving residents chance to more than operate seining gear for glory and interest returns for the canning concerns.
 The profit of the canneries pro- perly passed along through labor will do. more to deveop towns, homes and business than anything else. Prosperity of Alaska labor will attract labor from other sec tions and thus build up in fact a permanent residential population

 MEETING

The regular meeting of the City Council was held on Monday even ing of this week at which consider able business was transacted.
 REPORT ON WATER DAM
 Councilman Hanseth reported that he had made trip to the wat CT dam and made careful examina- tion of the works. It was his opin- ion that it would be poor policy to spend any money for repairs on it or to renew the present dam as the reservoir was insufficient to take care of the needs of the town.

 F STREET COMPLETED
 City Marshal Hans Wick report that F Street was completed and that he was now working on a right of way for the construction of Third Street between F and G Streets.
 REFERRED TO COMMITTEE
 Considerable trouble has been met by the Council in the matter of disposal of garbage. The prob lem again presened itself this week and was referred back to the Com mitte on Health and Police for final disposition.
 INCREASED AUTO LICENSE
 The matter of auto licenses was broached by Councilman Stenslid with the suggestion that they be increased; and that car owners, liv- ing in scow Bay be(fequired to take out license if they operated their cars within the corporate limits of Petersburg.
 SECURE DATA ON NEW STREET
 Indian Street and Vista Avenue, iron; Rasmus Enge's property to that owned by Andrew Heimdahl was in such a delapidated condition that the Council instructed the City Marshal to secure estimates of the amount of lumber needed to renew it and to make a call for bids for the lumber from the local mills.

troll is based on his physical condi
ton. Doctors told the American
! League club owners that the league
president was in i'll health and need
ed a rest. They allowed him to
take Il leave Of absence and appoint
ed Frank Navin, vice president of
the league and president of the De
troit club, as acting president.
The action of the club presidents
of the American League definitely
settles the power of Judge Lands
who was drafted from the federal
bench to "purify' baseball after
the 1919 "Black Sox' scandal.
For years johnson and Lands
have squabblcd and differed on ma,
.ior issues.
Recently, however, there was Il
"gct together between the two
and much handshaking. Indications
were that perfect harmony existed
between the American League
,r.
Freak Again
However, after Judge Lands
made public charges against Ty
Cobb and Iris Speaker, charges
which involved the two stars in
alleged gambling activities, johnson
and Lands again differed. johnson
charged Lands with making public
something that the American league
should have handled.
This resulted in Lands calling
the meeting for today at which he
planned to determine who had TIL
control of baseball. johnson issued
several statements against Lands
and the judge had not answered
anv of them, depending on today s
meeting to do that.
However, the American League
presidents aligned up solidly behind
the touseled, white haired commits
sioner by rcpudiating johnson s
criticism of Lands and commend
ed the commissioner "for his eff
forts in clearing baseball of any in
situations of dishonesty.
Most of yesterdays meeting
which brought about the end of the
reign of johnson was secret. The
club presidents conferred most OF
the day at an exclusive club then
later called Commissioner Lands
into conference.
Lands conferred with the presi
dents for about three hours and
then statement was issued saying
that johnson had been granted a
leave of absence.
The commissioner said that the
johnson matter was the only ono
discussed when ii was brought to
his attention that attorneys for Ty
Cobb and iris Speaker were her,
t. confer with him. He said
they had made an unnecessary trip
if they planned to appear before the
Joint meeting of the club owners
and the commissioner.
