deieterious effect on the sport Of

The open season for purse meters
now extends from July Is to No.
ysmber /, covering just the months
when fishing Is q popular sport for
hundreds 81 residents of the Capital
and nearby towns 81 Maryland.
Definite Action Near
Previous efforts Of amateur
anglers have resulted In curtailment
Of the open season FOR the meters.
and they are preparing tor an
offensive now which will either
eliminate the season altogether Or
greatly curtail it further.
The local anglers have the full
support 81 the scores of captains
along the river fronts who take
out fishing parties.
Captain Crandall Trott, of Shady
Side, Nd, who was. selected by
Babe Ruth as his fishing pilot
wIaen he recently vacationed at the
J West River resort, iss one aof those
most bitter about the activities Of
the neEsefs
He declares that recently he saw
two METERS In operation near his
place and that iii one haul they
took 8 more than Teton Of fish.
Naturally this Just ruined the day
for Frott, who had with him In his
boat 3 group OF Washington anglers.
Season Gut Al Month
Trott points out that through ef-
forts of the amateurs the last ses-
sion OF the Maryland state Iegisia-
ture cut q month off the purse
netting season.
Formerly the season opened on
June 49,, but this year it did not
open until JULY Is. The offensive
nosEs getting underway is designed
to align public opinion in the State
so that the anglers can go before
the next session Of the legislature
and ask that another month or
more be Topped off the season.
The purse meters, Trott points
out, lay in wait until they find q
school Of fish. With two motor
boatg they then lay their nets
around the school and draw the
bottom Of the nets together.
FREQUENTLY in this way they gather
In q complies school In one haul.
Naturally this wholesale catching
Of fish makes it difficult, and at
times impossible for the fishing
pilots OF the. amateur anglers to
lead their patrons to satisfactory
fishing grounds.

Starting the New Year term. all of the Juneau schools opened their doors this morning and the stu dents again attended their classes after a holiday vacation of eleven days. The High school, Grade school and Parochial school re- port that the classes this morning were attended by about the normal number of students. When the three institutions closed for the holidays over 150 students were absent from classes, i'll with the flu, and the good attendance this morning shows the epidemic has about spent itself.
 While nothing definite has been decided upon, other than what has been made known regarding the athletic program for the school term now started, it was stated this morning at the High school that the Fairbanks High through Supt. Harry Moore, had challenged the Juneau High to play for the basketball championship of Alas ka in the event the schools men, tioned won the championship in their respective school divisions. Supt. Moore also came forward with an offer of several hundred dollars to defray the expenses of the Juneau "Hilltoppers" if they would accept the challenge and go to Fairbanks for the match, which of course, all depends on whether the Fairbanks and Juneau High schools win the championships in their divisions.

CITY MAGISTRATE ON WARPATH FOR YOUTH
 WHO SMASHED LIGHT

Boys will be boys and all that, but there are some acts which real boys wont commit, ? if you let City Judge H. R. Shep- ard tell the story. And as he is the Big Brother" of most of the youngsters in the community as well as Municipal Magistrate hia opinion can almost be rated as that of an expert.
 Judge Shepard is looking for 8 lad whose throwing aim is better than his intention at times, it would appear. Out at the skat- ing pond in the basin, the All aska Electric Light & Power Company has installed a big light for the convenience of youngsters using the ice there at night hours. The company furn- ishes the power free but the City pays for the fixtures.
 For few days everything was lovely. But it was too good to continue. Monday night the light was hit by a well-aimed missile and the pond was again in dark ness. On the plea of several youngsters, Judge Shepard order ed and paid for another light but he is out on the warpath for the one who broke the big globe And if find him. I'h going to collect for the damage done" the judge asserted.
