fession or calling eventually will earn
more than the student who takes a
course in the liberal arts. For exam
pie. the life earnings of lawyer are
almost two-thirds greater than those of
the average college graduate.
A college course in business was
found to net the average graduate of
such course twice as much as the
graduate of a general college course
Since business college organization
made the survey, this item may be
subject to further crutiny.
The other figures cited, however,
merely corroborate similar figures gath
cred by disinterested surveyors.
The average incomes of grammar
school graduates, high school graduates
and college graduates were found to be,
respectively, as follows: $1,700, $4,000
and $4,000.
From time to time indisputable proof
is offered of the practical advantages
Of education. These are not always
seen at once, but as the child advances
In life, education's material assistance
becomes evident.

Mint Chocolate Frosting

For delightful variation and one
which is especially good with DEVILS
food cover the cake with mint frosting
and then with thin layer Of bitter
cooking chocolate. Simply melt the
chocolate over warm water and brush
onto the frosting with quick strokes,
using a pastry brush. One precaution,
however. If there is much heat or
moisture in the kitchen when it is
spread and during the drying the sur
face will lose its gloss. The general di-

out a gay necklace of beads. This had
been a most successful gift. The color

first gift was the repapering of the

Henry OMalley, United States Commissioner of Fisheries, now in Ketchikan has issued a second warning to the Canning Industry tEat unless they are less hoggish in thelr efforts to can every last sal mtn. The regulations now in force contemplated a 30 per cent reduc- ;ion whereas in fact it has reduced production only 10 per cent. His statement to the press was that unless the packers complied with both the letter and spirit of present regulations he would be compelled 10 promulgate more drastic regula- lions.

League Will Protect
 Whales

If the League of Nations does not prevent war in the future it will at least help the fishermen by pre- "enting the total destruction of the wI,ale The League has had a com mission of experts at work on this idea for some time to see if an in tpraational convention could not be launched relative to whale and oth- er deep sea riches.
 As regards the protection of birds it is expected that the September assembly of the League of Nations wjll be asked to summon an inter- t-atiOnal conference for the purpose Of launching a new international Iird convention to replace the 1902 Paris convention on the subject
 The migratory character of both ot birds and whales is such as to make any regulation to them nec- ecsariIy of an international nature and hence within the scope of the league, while the economic value to the world as a whole is declared sufficiently great to justify the leagues attention.
 vontions will be the fixing of "open"
 The primary object of the con- vention is to prevent extinction of tfe species.

Rake Supt, Eats Pie-
 Humble

Tn last weeks Alaskan was re- ported the strike of the Rake fish ei nen at the Skinner and Eddy can- nery at that point. The terms set forth by the management were that each crew was to be limited to 5000 salmon each day. Second, that the fish had to be delivered at the can neIy not later than 10 D. m. each day else they would be pitched over, board by the delivering crews. The fishermen literally begged the man. agement-Mr. Al Maynard and MT Skinner to be more liberal in theit terms and allow at least a 24-hour delivery. This was curtly refused and the fishermen advised to go fish ing or put up their gear
 They put up their gear and some of the hotter heads pulled off some horse play which bordered close to direct action Cooler heads pre- vailed so that that company may be we'll content that they still have the cannery.
 Some of the workers upon learn ing of opportunity to work here in Petersburg, promptly came over to work and fish; others outftted to go trolling; still others are nov ing about looking for work of any kind. MT Maynard asked some Of his fishermen to take their gear and go out again. His traps went on st;ike and delivered him no more saimon- empty traps fill no cans but seine boats could if they would go out The fishermen refused to have any further dealings with the company this year. Just what luck this company will have the balance Of the year is not hard to figure out It is reported here that MT. Maynard wired to Mr. Schoenwald asking for fish. The reader can picture Schoen- wald, with only a half pack to date, falling all over himself to accommo- date Maynard.

Radio to Replace Gable
 In Alaska

The United States Signal Corps which has direction of all the cable work in Alaska plans to install radio stations in the several towns now served by the cable Petersburg, W1angell and Sitka are on the list for such stations.
 The local station work will be undertaken very shortly. Contract for erection of the poles being let to "Whitey' Olson who will com mence work immediately. A man will be sent here from Ketchikan to install the equipment so that the new station should be in operation by September.
 The cables are getting pretty old and unless other steps are taken, will have to be replaced The high cost of this work along with the cost keeping te cable repair ship r the job makes installation of radio stations a cheaper undertaking.
 The cable office will be maintain ed until it becomes necessary to dis continue it and all service will then bo swung over the radio. It is run- ored that this station may be made two man station but not much in formation could be secured on the subject.

Mormon Elders Discuss Alaska

A:IMis
 The Mormon Elders who have been Investigating the Westward and Interior sections of the Terri tory, were visitors in Petersburg the past week and left on the Ala meda for Wrangel. While here they discussed their observationb of on- ditions throughout the Territory.
 The Westward section, Tanana and Matanuska Valleys had wonder ful agricultural possibilities; the resources, mineral and timber thru out the whole territory were prac- tically untouched; greater popula- tiCn however is necessary to the de- velopment of these resources. If the agricultural resources were de- ve!oped to the point where it could supply local demands it would mean a wonderful growth of the country. Other industries would follow and many of the problems would be solved.
 There is a great need of more home rule. Governed by federal ap- uointees from outside, the people have too little to say about their own territorial affairs. Greater measure of home rule would make it possible to solve problems locally that federal officials or departments are prone to give no attention to.
 The problems of the different sec tions are as different from each oth- CT as night is from day. There is a lack of understanding of the needs of sections in this territory which is so vast as to be beyond the com prehension of the average citizen.

Would Restrict Funds
 In Campaign

Senator William E. Borah of Ida ho recently made an appeal to both major political parties to limit their campaign expenditures to $3,OOO,OOO each. He charged that greater ex- penditures would constitute "an a. tempt to debauch the American electorate"
 Referring to a recent dispatch which stated that the two parties planned to spend $2O,OOO,OOO on the campaign, he said such thing seemed Incredible"
 He said Tt is impossible to spend 20,O00,00O on this campaign with out transgressing every rule of de cency and common honesty. It would be nothing less than an at tempt to debauch the American electorate It would disclose very fully that the committees sadly un- der estimate the intelligence and honesty of the voters.
 The issues in this campaign will bring the voters to the polls. There is less use for extravaganza in this campaign than in any other cam- patgn since 186O."

KETCHIKAN IN FISH RUNNING

Reports from Ketchikan, like re- ports from Port Althrop are very good as far as salmon pack is con. cerned, Port Althrop has a pack of 14S, ,OO0 cases to date while the to- tal pack of the Ketchikan district is 496,946 cases. The districts are the extreme southern and western entrances of salmon from the sea.
 Seiners are making good catches ir the Portland Canal, Carol and George Inlet areas where the traps have no advantage. The catch of high boat for the Ketchikan district is reported around 10000.
 The run around West Coast of Prince of Wales Island is reported as being somewhat slow and the backs not coming as rapidly as might be desired
 Heavy rains and change of wealth CT has sent the salmon shooting for the rivers and spawning grounds. Where few days ago scow-Ioads of fish were being brought in, the scows are returning empty or only with a part load.

A meeting of the Executive Com mittee of the Commercial Club was he on the evening of August the 8th. A letter relative to purchase of the Mason Homestead, south end
 Of the Narrows was read in which one of the owners, Miss Drawotski asked $2,O0O for the site. The matter was considered in all it's various angles and the Commit tee was unanimous in it's belief that tie price was exorbitant and beyond
 the subscription power of the com munity.
 The matter will be held to await further information from the Blu reau of Education.
 Information at hand is to the eff feet that the Bureau is without funds with which to purchase the .sitc and that the only way it can secure the property is by gift from local people. Under the circum stances the local Club has been mak- ing effort to secure the property and if successful will turn it ove" -to the Bureau without any profit to themselves. Aside from the good which will accrue to the whole Divi- sion were the industrial school e5- tabished at this point, local people have no value on the site for any use whatsoever. It will probably stand undeveIoped, if local efforts to secure it are unsuccessful, for a good many years A fair price is worth more in the hand than the hopes of the next forty years.
