About the Industrial School
 

Word comes that radio reports re- coived in Wrangell are to the effect that Congress has appropriated $50 = 900 for initial expenditure. on .an Indian Industrial School to be built |. t Wrangell.
 After the action of the Scho,l Board, supported by the City Coua- il and the major portion of the Commercial Club, it was not to be expected that the Bureau would D.; much in favor of building such a school near Petersburg. The I~ss :s ?etersburg's and it's loss is V'in- sells gain. :.
 We do not vouch for the authent- ic'ty of the report. We gave: it. as 1pOrted to us.

Lots of Business But
 No Quorum

The regular meeting of the local Chamber of Commerce failed to 1naterialize Wednesday evening as tlere was not enough members pre- sent to transact business of any inn lortance. There being several inn rortant measures to consider, those present. did not wish to take any action until there was a representa- tive body present. Interest in these meetings is about as live as a sick cat Meeting most likely will be held next week.

Our Lopsided Prosperity

The other day Henry Ford an- nounced a new policy which would pat 30,00O II en to work He said it would take three months to get things going.
 Three days later 25,OOO men were gathered around the Ford plant near Detroit, at the opening hour in :he morning They had come from al. over the country drawn by the magnet of a chance to get a job.
 They stood there shivering in the snow and cold, stamping their feet to Leep from freezing, waiting to be put at hard, monotonous work. ~ Six hundred of them were taken into the plant that day. More were ,5ven jobs later.
 We are told constantly that the country IS prosperous. oO IL IS, III way. More of our people have the comforts and even some of the lux u~ies of life than ever before. By comparison with the rest of the world, American prosperity is very great indeed
 But here gre at least 25,00O men in one city who have had no share in that prosperity; and in most cases behind each of those men is wo- man, and perhaps two or three child ren, waiting at home to see whether Gad'' gets {. job.
 Tn the light of these facts, our prosperity would seem somewhat i'm perfect.
 There is unemployment, not mere iy ill the disorganized mining and textile industries, but in other indus t: es as we'll, and unemployment is a social and economic crime.

Presents Flag


 Governor George A. Parks, recnt " presented an Alaskan flag to Post master General New for the collec- tion of state and territorial flags on display in the postal department.
 The last territorial legislature passed bill authorizing the appro- priation of a thousand dollars or more to send Benny Benson of the Jesse Lee Home, Seward, to Wash ingtOn so that he could present the flag he designed to President Cool idee. The same act gave Benny a gold watch with the design of the flag on its back.
 So far Benny has not gone to Washington. It is being asked, is he being discriminated against be- cause of the fact that he is an In dian boy? The very thing that the American Legion and the Legislature wished to guard against seems to be :ranspiring.
 Will the Treasurer return the money to the funds when he makes t:s report or what will happen tt the money? Some one suggested tha the money be set aside as fund fol Benny's education. Not a bad idea at all.

A Real 0ptomist

George Anderson of Juneau in a statement to the Anchorage Times sad that it was his opinion that southeastern Alaska would be a state before very long That is that statehood is approaching very rapid
 I. That the creation of a state in this section cannot long be deferred E.e believes that when the division comes that Anchorage will be made he capital of the balance of the ter r;t0ry because of its geographical position and ideal situation as a town site.
 It is not generally believed that tue political minded and average citizen of this division hill quarrel With the statement Their only nope is such will be the case at the earliest possible date The argue ment set forth that the representa- ton in the territorial legislature is anything but on a basis of equality. That such a small division as Nome with it's seven hundred votes pre- vents measures of benefit to the First Division from passing. Political log rolling has secured much for the TOrthern end of the Territory at the expense of tEC Southern. While it is not generally believed that State hood at this time would be the pro- per thing, it is often times publicly expressed that such will have to be because geographically, economically and industrial the interests are too fer apart to make a successful state ot the whole Territory.

Wrange1l Town Team
 Takes Drubbing

Petersburg met a faster and stronger team in the Wrangen town team than it did in the Wran- eeu High School team and were more pressed to win So far this team Is tne strongest that the local team has met and gave the boys something to think about before they meet again tn tn local floor Saturday January tle 26th.
 The local team won the game by score of 22 to IS. Harold Run 5t"d again was high point man for 1ke local team while G. Engstrom was high point man for the Wran- 5til team. Each made eight points for their team. Gordon again start ed off in this game and rather be- Nldered the opponents with his 'Petu' lie was replaced by Me Donald, regular in that position. JcDonald made four points while Niorud and WasviclI each connected with five points in the game. At the first of the last quarter, Joe kahklen was taken from the game 0n account of fouls and was replac- d by Shauquanie. Although Kah- Ken made no points in this game, ho played fast game His check i"g and close guarding kept the op- ponents in each game far away from the basket and did stellar work on defence. Shauquanie kept up the -'od pace set by Kahklen and fore cd his way into many a successful offensive and defensive plays.
 Hard work and strict training put the Petersburg boys in fine shape  and each victory is backed by good teamwork and effort.

More Protection Urged
 For Game

Paul G. Redington, chief of the |. s. Biological Survey, chief of the port for the past year points out the fact that funds to carry on that de- partments work in Alaska is too small and that 6 larger appropriation $ necessary in order to do the work os it should be done.
 Tn his report he states that De rlund for better enforcement of the ft deral migatory bird regulations are insistent and general. Citizens everywhere express their approval e the law> but assert that enforce ment is notably inadequate The reason for this criticism becomes evil dent when it is realized that the ap- prCpriatiOn available for enforcing he migatory bird treaty act regula- tons allows for the fulltime employ ment of only A salaried game pro- -ectors through the entire country. k.ach game protector must ,on the average, cover two states, and in his W ork can have little assistance from tae United States deputy game ward cas, since funds are not sufficient to permit many of those latter off o,als generally voluntary cooperators to be assigned to this duty. The es- tanlishment of an adequate force of game protectors would have imme- diate benefoiaI results in quicken ing of public interest in wild life protection and in strengthening of public support of the migratory Lird treaty act"

Fire Destroys Boat

Lat Monday the gasboat Harry" captain Roy B. Elliott, was destroy ed by fire near Security Bay fox is lands. Elliott and George Davis were ashore when the fire broke out. It is supposed that bad wiring caused a short circuit throwing fire on cur talns and getting almost beyond control when seen. With the help nf passing troller and the fox men, Elliott and Davis were able to put the fire out only after it had gutted the boat and destroyed about every thing they had. The Harry" was brought to town by the troller.
 Elliott and Davis had been out of Ketchikan about three weeks when this happened. They were buying fus and had secured a small lot which also was destroyed by the fire. They reported that their loss would hrve been much greater but for the fact that trapping has been rather slow 50 far and the trappers were net selling the small catches they mad secured except in a few in stances.
