Receipts from timber sales from national forests in Alaska accru- ing to the Territory for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1928, were S22,441.74, according to a state ment received by Gov. George A. Parks from the U. s. Department of Agriculture. That amount has been remitted to the Territorial treasury.
 Of the total sum, $19,01S.52 came from sales ill Tongass National Forest. The receipts for the year were about $10,0O0 less than the average.
 The decline, it was said by the Governor, is probably due to the falling off of the salmon pack in 1927 which resulted in material decrease in the number of shocks being manufactured for salmon boxes.

HIGH SCHOOL
 IS DEDICATED; LARGE CROWD
Addresses Are Made by Gov. Parks and Attorney
 Robertson - Dancing

A crowd that could not be ac- commodated attended the dedica- ton exercises of the new High School last night in the auditorium of the new building. The program started with the High School or chestra playing two selections un- der the leadership of Miss Fisher.
 R. E. Robertson, President of the School Board. delivered the opening address, He spoke ill brief of the financing and building of that last unit of the modern school system of Juneau.
 "The taxpayers are the final owners of the school of Juneau. It is through their sacrifices that these buildings, which are the last word in school design, were made possible. Juneau now has the finest school buildings in the Ter ritory," said MT. Robertson.
 The original contract for the new building called for an expenditure of approximately S90,C0O. Tae land was purchased at a cost of S24,000. These two sums totaled considerable more than was avail able at the time the final contract was let. MT. Robertson told of how the School Board cut certain specifications from the contract the total cost of which was $69,00e He also expressed the praise of the School Board to the Peter Woeck Construction Co.,, the fine work of construction and how MT. Woeck throughout the entire build ing made savings that made pos. sible the construction of extras and refinements that would have cost approximately $4,000, but al the final accounting cost $69 over the contract price.
 'The building is net for the ma teriai good of anyone, but was built with the idea of training the young folks to become an asset fo the community, and to show faiIh in the future of the community, declared MT. Robertson.
 Following MT. Robertson's ad- dress, Charles E. Harland gave twf vocal selections accompanied by his daughter Frances, at the piano

Address By Governor

Gov George A. Parks in the chief dedicatory address of the evening, said: "The dedication O! this new high school building marks the completion of the last stage in the development of the Juneau school system. It is a credit to the city and indicative of the unselfish progressive spirit of the community. It has no equal in Alaska"
 Gov. Parks gave a brief outline of the history of the public school system in America. from the in ception of the first school in Massachusetts, in 1647, to the present time. He declared that the development of the public school system has progressed with our advance as a nation He cited statistics showing the rapid advance of the schools since 1890. The attendance has increased in colleges and universities sin,e that time 529 per cent. During the same period the attendance al normal schools increased GIG per cent. and the high school enroll ment, exclusive of Junior high schools, increased 1055 per cent.
 Alaska Progressive
 Alaska has not been negligent in providing school facilities" continued Gov. Parks. Last year the Bureau of Education main- tained 94 intermediate schools and three industrial schools in the Territory. Teachers employ ed numbered TIT, and 3,755 pu- pills were enrolled All other schools in the Territory, except those conducted by missions or churches, receive a large part or all of the cost of maintenance from the Territorial and Federal Goverinments Last year 16 high schools and 90 elementary schools l were in session. The Territorial appropriation for schools of all classes during the last few years has been about 50 per cent of the total revenues. In other words, we spend almost as much for our schools as we do for all other purposes"
 Speaking again of the new building, the Governor said: We all know the story of this build ing and of the problems that had to be solved before it could be constructed. Most of us have contributed to it's cost directly or indirectly and tonight we are dedicating it to the advance ment of education in this com munity. We need not have no apprehension for the future of our Territory or our Nation so long as we maintain cur public l schools on the high plane which they now occupy"
