MESSIAH" TO BE-
SUNG ON DEC. l6
Chorus of More Than Hundred
Singers to Perform in
Methodist Church
ORCHESTRA OF 20 PIECES

More than 100 singers, COM
posing the Chapel Hill Oratorio
Chorus, will present Handlers
great Christmas oratorio, THE
Messiah" at $50 Monday eve
ming, December Is, in the Meth
odist church. Rev. C. E. Rozelle
offered the church because
Memorial hall, having been con-
demned, could not be used.
The chorus, of which George
H. Lawrence is president, is
composed of members of the
University faculty, other citi-
zens of the village, and students.
1t has been rehearsing for two
months under the direction of
Harold S. Dyer, head of the
Uniyersity's music department.
Mrs. A. S. Wheeler is the ac-
companist. T. Smith McCorkle,
in charge of instrumental af-
fairs in the University, is the
leader of the orchestra of about
20 pieces and will act as concert
master at the performance.
In order to avoid the neces-
sity of charging admission, the
executive committee has chosen
to have the affair as an open oc-
casion. An unusual display of
the spirit of cooperation is evil
denced in the fact that no one
connected with the performance
will receive a fee. Even the
soloists, who come from Dur
ham, Raleigh, and Asheville, are
contributing their services with
out the usual professional sti-
pend. This being the first year
of the existence of the Oratorio
Society, the committee felt that
the public should be asked to
make a small contribution
toward the expenses of this first
performance, and SO an Offering
will be taken at the concert.
Handels Messiah" has al
ways ranked as the greatest of
all choral works, particularly
for this season of the year.
Great difficulty was experienced
in locating an orchestral score
of the work. One publishing
house said that a conservative
estimate would place the number
of Messiah" performances dur
ing December, throughout the
United States and Canada. at
over four thousand.
The Chapel Hill OratoriO
Society has voted to remain
active, and will doubtless pre-
sent another major choral work
at the time of the opening of
the new music hall in May.

 Juneau ana Ketchikan have held every series with the ex- ception of the series last year which was held at Wrangell.
 Juneau and Ketchikan have always been generous to other towns, in sports and appropria- Jions-With the leavings. That is the size of their calibre, the size and quality of their sports manship. Juneau is marked; they will go down in athletic an- nalS in this Division as things |of contempt; creatures of sel- f1Shness and unfairness. Sports without any sportsmanship.

IS HE A RADICAL?

Much has been said in the past about the attacks on the Bureau of Fisheries. That those who condemn the Bureau are radicals. We quote from the re- ports of Governor George A. Forks bearing out the charges and ask Is Governor Parks a radical?
 "The herring industry contin- ued to decline, as it has in re- cent years. In southeastern Alaska the production of Scotch-cu herring increased, but the total output for the Ter ritory decreased about ' per cent. SiXty-eight plants were operated as compared with 61 in 1926 The industry employed .2,110 people and produced 14,- 542,390 pounds of Scotch-cured fish. The greatest decline was in the production J1 fish oil and meal, while the con- sumption of herring as bait in creased from 2,234,938 pounds ir 1926 to 8,O41,905 pounds in 1927. There is much contention over the regulations governing the herring fisheries, and more definite information concerning the habits and proper utilization Of this species is essential be- fore the controversy can be set tied. A detailed investigation and survey of the herring fish cries in Alaska is in progress, but because of lack of funds it has not been carried on as rap idly as it should have been. The completion of this investigation is of the utmost importance to the industry because it cannot be placed on a safe production basis until accurate informa- tion is available. EACH YEAR THAT THE WORK IS DELAY ED MAKES THE SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM MORE DTFFI- CULT and it is desireable that additional funds be provided so that the work may be finished during the next year."

NO DANGER OF DEPLETION

Two local herring fsrmen re- gently spent two weeks cruising an area of approximately 45O miles of water for herring for bait. They got nary scale even. They returned and work ed on their gear to be readiness for such a time as the herring appear near Sitka.
 No depletion in sight, say the prostitutors of this industry. Yet these fishermen cruise over a large area for fish, which ir former days could be gotten ir the bay with small handrigs.

POOR SPORTSMANSHIP

Under the most adverse and unSportSmanship conditions at Juneau, Petersburg High School defeated Juneau High School copping the championship of the First Division.
 Under the greatest of obstacles Petersburg won. Tn a rough, hard fought game Petersburg demonstrated it's right to claim the championship.
 The rules of the game en- phatically declare without a bit of doubt that the game shall be along clean, sportSmanlike lines The personal contact between opposing players is positively verboten; four fouls (personaD disqualif1es any player; any foul if considered grave enough by an official, will disqualify any player.
 All reports of the games are Juneau threw away the rule book and tried to win by foul tactics. With contempt all clean sportsmen, athletes and fans look upon the sportsmen (?) of Juneau.

JUNEAU-TINHORN SPORTS

The recent negotiations be- tween representatives of the Ju- neau and Petersburg high school teams was revelation to Petersburgans, insofar as the lack of sportsmanship of Juneau was concerned.
 Juneau laid claims to champ ionShip of the First Division without having played a single game with any team other than the mediocre team of Douglas. A number of "old men' formed teams at Juneau and Douglas which on occasion defeated the alleged champs" with no little ease. The claim to champion ship being based on last years championship.
 Juneau refused to meet the local under any fair condition. The offer to play on a neutral floor was flatly refused; the se- cond offer to meet, part of the series to be played at Juneau, part at Petersburg and deciding game to be played on a neutral floor was refuse. Petersburg finally appealed to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce to ar range a fair series. They did not. They turned the matter back to MT. Keller, principal of the Juneau schools-the very man with whom the local repre- sentatives had been having un- satisfactory negotiations.
 The Fairbanks offer and guarantee being only to the un- disputed champions of the First Division, Petersburg finally ac- cepted the Juneau terms pro- vided the guarantee were raised to $250. This Juneau finally did do.
 Wiring of officials Juneau ask ed if Petersburg had 8 choice of officials. They did-selecting Elton Engstrom, formerly of Wrangell considered one of the best in the Division. Juneau i'm mediately refused to accept him under any terms after offering Petersburg their choice. So Dick Hanson was taken along to be a representative from Peters burg.

THE JUNEAU SPIRIT

.Jureau llas so long been dom mated by cheap, selfish federal officials that it is thoroughly permeated with the one idea Juneau for Juneau; we will play with you if you play by our rules and if you beat us at the game we will change the rules to suit us.
 The whole conduct of Supt. Keller of Juneau, stinks to high heaven of cheap tinhorn gam bier sports. The kind of a gam bier that refuses to play unless he is dealing a stacked deck with marked cards.
 In ordinary sports the offer made by Petersburg to split the series between the two town and play the rubber on neu- tral floor would be acepted; in choice of officials reasons would be given for refusing to accept named official But Juneau, the capital city of the Territory must dictate to the other towns,

Kennecott copper mine will be played out, and, unless other rich prospects are discovered l and developed, the mother com pany, the Alaska Steamship O., will curtail it's operations about that time. Therefore, the follow ing report published in the An chorage Daily Times.
 Rate increased Twice during last year by big corporation Kennecott Copper has gained the distinction of being the first company to enlarge it's dividend payments twice within the year. Kennecott's regular dividend is now more than 50 per cent Iarg- CT than it was at the beginning of 1928, as three months ago the directors increased the an nual dividend rate from $5 a share to $6 a share through the declaration of 9 quarterly divi- dend of $1.5O a share.
 The increases in the com pany's dividend rates have been at frequent intervals. In Jan- uary, 1926, the stock had been raised from $3 to $4, the $3 rate having been in effect since 1923
 Even up to an $8 dividend basis, as it now is, Kennecott is distributing profits on a conserv- ative scale, for it is well under stood that current earnings are at rate much in excess of that figure Besides it's direct earn ingS from operations, Kenne- colt receives a substantial in come from it's ownership of 97h per cent of the stock of the | Utah Copper Company, which Ipays dividends at the rate of $8 a share It also owns all the stock of Braden Copper Com Ipany, which operates in the cop per region of Chili, and the en- tire capital stock of Alaska De- velopment Company. Both it's 1 directly owned properties and 1 it's subsidiaries are loW-cost cop per producers.
 Utah Copper, in turn, owns 43 per cent of the capital stock of N eva a d a Consolidated Copper Company. Last spring the Ken necott management was discuss ling with the Nevada ConSoIidat- ed interests an offer for the Ne , Vada stock still in the pubIc's hands. The negotiations came to nothing at that time, but it is understood that the merger ; will not long be deferred. Dividends reported for 1928 by mining companies or Idaho and British Columbia aggregate $14,053,914. Of this sum $4,476,- 261 was from the Occur d'Alene region and $9,577,753 from Bri- tish Columbia. The totals do not include the declarations of leSSees or of smaller companies that have not made public an nOuncements so far.
 Four companies of the Occur d'Alenes that declared $4,476,216 in 1928 paid $4,816,7O3 in 1927. The companies included the Bunker Hill & Sullivan, Feder- al, Hecla and Sunshine.
 Three companies of British Columbia declared $9,577,753 in 1928, paid $7,952,762 in 1927. Two other companies, including Howe Sound, increased the total to $9,946,914 in 1927. The com panies in British Columbia in clude the Consolidated Mining & Smelling, Premier Gold and Granby.
