EASTER IS FIXED BY
 BRITISH PARLIAMENT
Sunday After Second Saturday in April No Longer Governed By Moon.

London. July es. R-Ccmmuni- cants of the Church of England hereafter will observe Easter on the Sunday after the second Saturday in April. It will no longer be deter mined by the phases of the moon
 The bill providing for the chang es for Great Britain and North Ire land has been passed by both the House of Commons and tic House of Lords and requires only the for mality of royal assent to become law.
 The measure is likely to result in two Easters being observed in Eng land. since there has been nothing to indicate that the Roman Catho- lie church also would make the charge. Anglicans will be obliged to conform, since the Church of Eng land is the state church and its head is the King.
 Under the present system. Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the ecclesiastical full moon on or after March 21 and therefore may be any Sunday between March 21 and Ap- Til 25. The stabilized" Easter would be between April g and 16.

 For several years past fishermen in the Bering Sea. have. been observing from time to time the the peculiar habits of this bird, Captain McNeil says, although every attempt to catch one. of them has failed The Captain does not youch for the story, as he has never seen one of. the birds per- sonally, but he intends to lead scien- tific expedition into the North. some time to study the strange creature, ''The goni bird" he said, '.is never seen in sight of land,. it is born. raised; and dies upon the water. In color tis an odd shsdesef pink, with yellow bars~,sThis- aquatic creature is noted for it's eccentric mode of life The go1n bird, .as it. never rests upon the shore, lays square eggs, and lays but one egg year. This egg is laid upon her husbands back, up against his neck. During -incubation the male goni must be very careful not to lose the egg overboard, sse- on account of this he flies. .hackwara.fss <

In support of this assertion he. cited figures from the Madison station ex- periments. Alaska Sitka spruce shrank only four per cent, as com pared to five per cent for Douglas fir Sitka spruce from the Pacific States had shrinkage of 4.3 per cent, and hemlock about the same.

Alaskan Good Athlete

Raymond Wheeler, former Wran- gell basketball star and son of MT. and Mrs. James H. Wheeler Is de- veloping speed on the cinder tracks of the Broadway High School in Seattle. This is Rays first year in the Seattle school but he has been making such speed that coaches and sport writers are taking notice of him. Last week he entered elimination contests in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and placed first and second respectively. Consider ing the amount of talent that turns out in this big school, Ray may we'll be proud of his record. Dur ing the past winter he cut quite a circle on the basket ball squad but owing to his academic work felt that he should not allow athletics to be a major subject More is ex- pected of him.

WILLIAM L. PAUL

Speaking of Bartley Howard he said that he had found Bartley tc be very pleasant gentleman who never disagreed with anyone who was for or against any piece of legislation. And pictured him as a political chameleon who never stood on any promise made in legislature that would be of bene- fit to the Territory at large. MT Howard believed in self-government and when first announced, promised to support the Controller Bill. But when the test of his sincerity came he refused to support the measure. He suggested that the Governor be included in the Board of Control in place of the Attorney General and said he would support the bill. When the bill was so amended he found some excuse for voting against the bill and thereby de feated the measure.

The Proper Thing
 To Do

The action of the Commercial Club, further endorsed by the Fire men requesting the Petersburg Pack ing Company to move it's net shed from off the city front street is only fit and proper. The street must be run along the lines of the survey if the survey is any good and main street especially should be wide enough for any purpose. The net shed sets right on the city street. If it is proper that this building stay on the property in spite of the request by the city that 1t be moved, then it is proper for any person to build on any other street they may see fit.
 It is to be hoped that this Pack ing Company will see it's way to move the building, which is really m eye sore to the tourist trade which passes thru and to others, and move it without any process causing any further expense to the city. By cooperation only will the town progress and inexcusable op- position does not lend itself to friendly understanding which is 80 necessary now in Alaska.

Declamatory Contest

The elimination contest in the local high school declamatory con- test was held Saturday evening in the Variety Theatre. Each speaker showed considerable preparation and study so that right from the first number the contest was in. teresting. Helen Hunspedt was given first place and it is generally conceded that by her presentation of the selection she earned the honor of representing the school in the final meet to be held on the 21st of April.
 Second place was given Herbert Mjurod and third place to Miss Anderson. Paul Tveten, Alaska Jorgenson, Irene Runstad, David Morgan and Matt Raynor each made a fine impression but as there could Lot be more than one first place they had to be satisfied with the lesser
 Judges of the evening were Rev. Maakestad, Herald Dafes and c. M. Archibald. After the contest the Judges turned in their score sheets which were audited by special committee and the winners an- aounced by MT. Bowman upon re- ceipt of the audit.

P. c. MCCORMACK

MT. Mccormack stated that he has been resident of Alaska for 30 years and is and may be called a successful business man, having retired from active business affairs several years ago. That his interest tr this election is due to the inn DO 'tance of the issues before the electors. He has no personal am bitions for political preferment but believes that Alaska should be rep- resented by men whose interests and investments are tied up in the Territory and by those who will work for bettering conditions of the Territory.
 He feared a lack of interest. political apathy on the part of the voters of Alaska, regarding the issues before the electorate at this primary. And urged every person to give serious thought to the Ques, ticns which will be presented be- fore the Legislature.

 The subsidized press of the Ter ritory has made the claim that these men are dominated by William Paul and because of that it would be un- wise and unsafe to elect them. The very fact that such organs as the Juneau Empire opposes these can didates should put them in favor of the electorate for the Cannery Organ is known for it's reactionary demmy-rep reputation. It certainly is a joke-William Paul dominating Judge Wickersham, former federal judge and attorney Of as many years as MT. Paul is old.

Firernen Meet Wednesday

The Bremen held meeting We'd nesday evening in the City Hall. New officers for the ensuing year elected are Chester Johnson, pres ident; J. Schoettler, vice-president; TT. Elsemore, treasurer; H. Dahl, fire warden.
 The organization unanimously backed the proposition of the Com mercial Club to widen Front Street to eliminate hazard to fire equip ment on the turn by Hogue & Tveten's store. It will ask the City Council to take steps to have the Star Bakery move back off the city street and thereby improve that section. James Brennan offered to move back his building, provided the other buildings moved back. IL POAhtCo OuL LAElI p0CA 0 aLCH taken at this time would be a great saving over what it would cost a few years later The Bremen also will ask the Petersburg Packing Company to move their net shed back off the street The whole street so widened will be of material benefit.
 The City Clerk will be requested by the Bremen to furnish all or dinances relative to the protection tn construction of houses in the future. Active steps will be taken to cut down the fire hazard in every way possible. The method of fue construction was up and this brought to the attention of the Town Marshal.
