Petersburg Club Offer
 Help Killisn0o

At special meeting of the local Chamber of Commerce, the secre
 tary of the Club, MT. Harold Dawes
 Was instructed to get in touch with
 Postmaster Eli Katinook Killisnoo
 and find out through him, if there were anyway in which the Peters,
 burg Club could help those who were made destitute by the recent fire.
 The reports of the fire received hnre are quite meager, however it is reported that the fire was put out without loss or injury to life. Prac- icallv the entire village was wiped ont by the flames while the residents were fighting to protect the fertiliz- CT plant from the flames. Practical- Jy all the fertilizer plant and out buildings were saved the loss being confined to the native buildings.
 Report indicates that the big fire was started by a Japanese near his cabin. The fire got beyond his con troI and the high winds carried the flames to near by buildings The alarm calling for help was sent out by the radio operator and immedi- ate response was received from the officials at Juneau. Charles w. Hawkesworth, Supt. of the U. $. bureau of Education in this Divi- sion and Dr. Harry c. DeVighne, Territorial Health Officer, were talk en to the stricken village on the U s. H. c. boat Highway with food and blankets.
 It was reported by press that 22o persons were without sufficient food and blankets, only 10 being whites. The number stated is not accurate according to our knowl- edge of that village unless it has grown wonderfully in the past six A half of that number would be a large estimate. Howev~ ar, it is possible that much may be needed and the action of the Peters burg Club is to be commended:

Muscle Shoals "Shot'

President Coolidge subjected the Norris Bill for government owner ship and operation of Muscle Shoals to a pocket vetoe.
 Under the law, he has ten days in which to approve or disapprove the measure, but the time expired leaving it without his signature.
 Senator Norris who sponsored the bill challenges the validity oi this form of veto He claims that under the Constitution, Article I, section ', Clause 2, that Eff any bill shall not be returned by the Presi- de mt within ten days Sundays ex cepted) after it shall have been pre- sented to him, the same shall be in law in like manner as ifh had pre- sented it, unless the Congress by their adjournment prevent it's re tu!n, in which case it shall not be a law"
 Senator holds that Congress is aot adjourned in the sense of the word as use by the Constitution. As serting that inasmuch as Congress will meet again next December witt the same members and officers the !! Muscle Shoals bill became a law. i A similar question is now pending
 decision of the Supreme Court O. the United States which decision vii apply to the Muscle Shoals bill whej rondeder.
 Tn event the Supreme Court rule
 the pocket vetoe holds good, it i the intention of Senator Norris L submit another Muscle Shoals bil
 to Congress.

Commission Propose
 Halibut Nurseries

The International Fisheries Com mission of the United States anG Canada, headed by pr. William F Th' mpson, is planning to start two deep-sea halibut nurseries" in Can ada and Southern Alaska, along With further limitations on the fish ing season.
 Effort will be made to prevent further depletion of the north Paci- fic halibut fisheries which now re presents but 40 per cent of the al- nual catch of twenty years ago, And this in spite of the more scien tific methods and equipment of past days. The industry represents an annual harvest of $7,00O,00O.
 The closed season will be extend ed two weeks, fixing the unlawful fishing period from November 15 to February 18th.
 This is the result of studies made by the Commission along the entire h4libut fishing banks. up to and in ciuding the Boring Strait. The con- mission has found that in spite of the use of more gear faster anu larger boats and decreased catches that the larger fish were disappear ing and the supply of smaller fish were being drawn on extensively.
 The commission is given authority 10 prohibit the use of small hooha to prevent the catching of baby or chicken halibut. This will be one of the first things done by the com mission in it's attempt to regulats deep sea fishing.
 From a study of the habit o fiat fish, the commission learne, that the fish do not leave the waters CT it's immediate vicinity, in whicl they were born. Nor do halibut re produce itself until it is we'll advan@ ed. These facts were obtained b! the tagging process which showe' recovery of tagged fish reachin' as high as 33 per cent in certain o the areas investigated.

Transfer Federal Bldg
 Locally Opposed

The Chamber of Commerce dis cl ssed at some length the matter of transfer of the federal jail by the department of Justice to the Bureau of Education. The objection to th7 transfer it seems, is based on tha fact that it's proximity to the res,- dential district was not one that would be of benefit to the school q tEo district; that there was not suf ficient room for playgrounds and ln general the location not a satisfacr- ory one
 It was hoped that pressure could be brought to bear upon proper Of ficials to prevent the transfer and to secure appropriation for the con- struction of new building on lots selected by the Club and the City
 Several expressed their views up on the subject and it was discussed pro and con until the president of the Club appointed a committee ol thlee, Louis F. Paul, Carol Clausen and Knute Thompson, to locate let O. lots that will be suitable for school purposes.

Lathrop Not
 Recognized

It is probable that Alaska will remain another four years withou: a duly recognized National Commit tocman on account of the failure ol the Canvassing Board to make Of ficlal tabulation of the returns of the April primary. It is not likely that the National Committee will meet for another four years. A Ma tional Committeeman is created on- ly when recognized by the Comit- tee.
 Lathrop's friends are much cha erined as they see their hopes frus trated and the now deplore the pre- cedent in the Frame case in which they stole his office by and through the connivance of Governor ScotT c. Bone, the late Judge Thomas M Reed, "Lil" George Arthur Shoup and the unholy Juneau com bination of professional politicians and federal trough swipers.
 Their machinations like a boom- arang have come back at them at- ter four long years and defeated the election of the only man they were able to get on the Republi-- an slate at the April primaries.
