COURT UPHOLDS HOOVER
 ON OIL

President Hoover's oil conser- vation policy was upheld recent ly by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.
 The court sustained the order of Secretary Wilbur in March of last year, that pending applica- tions for permits to prospect for oil on government lands be re- jected.
 Wilbur's orders was issued the day after President Hoover e. nunciated his conservation poli- cy in a brief statement to news paper men saying there would be complete conservation of government oil in this adminiS- tration."
 In a dissenting opinion Jus tice Josiah Van Orsdel held Hoover's policy could only be put into actual effect by issu- ance of a formal proclamation.

TEACHERS LOSE
 UNION FIGHT

The teachers of Seattle have tried for a long time to organize themselves into a union. The tate supreme court recently rul- Cd that they must not be mem bers of any union and the Seat, tie School Board has the power to dismiss any teacher who joins any union or to bar union mem her teachers.
 This is another instance of "the yellow dog contracts" which has held the attention of the progressive senators in Congress and which will no doubt be ta- ken care of them before many more years go by. It was the yellow dog contract" which shunted Judge Parker away from confirmation by the senate of his appointment as a Justice Of the United States Supreme Court. These yellow dog" con- tracts have a way of popping UT at most inconvient times.

Kenneth Stedman, former Pe- tersburg school student and boy scout, barely escaped with his life in a $20,OOO blaze aboard the steamship YUBA while ly-

Arguments Heard For
 Exclusion of FiIipinos

Arguments for and against
 applying the Reed emergency tWo-year immigration exclusion resolution to F'ilipinos were heard recently by the state se- nate Immigration Committee in
 the opening hearings on the proposal. A corresponding House Committee has agreed to report a similar resolution.
 Senator Bingham, Republican, Connecticut declared the Filipi- no exclusion proposal to be ex- tremely unfortunate" and would be regarded by the Filipinos as an insult" Senator Johnson. Republican of California declar- cd the matter twas not a ques- tion of offense to our wards but one of self defnse in a great eco- homie problem.
 The Filipino believe that the proper solution to this problem is their own independence and those congressman who oppose the idea have not given any good reason for refusing to grant that independence. It has been charged that the American Sugar Trust is back of the move to oppose the independence of these people who while they are wards of the Federal Govern ment, and while the American flag flies over those islands, they are declared not to be citizens.

Trap Site Titles huolued h Case Before Judge Harding Ziegler Holds That His Client has Interest in Trap Sites
 On Navigable Waters

 sive questions, the hetchikar
 Chronicle reports a ceSe pend

 First Division of Alaska, invOlv-
 ing trap site location. The case
 is entitled the Houston Fish
 Company, plaintiff, vs. Laura

Early in 1929 Laura Houston took steps tC have the site restored to entry but in her own rather than in the name of "the Houston Fish Compan77," the owner of said righcs, represented an pretended to Conamissi0ner II O'Malley, commissioner of fish cries of Alaska, who had sole power to close and reopen fishing locations in the waters of Alas ka, that she, Laura Houston. cince the decease of her husband, was the sole owner of SAID FISH TRAP LOCATION; that said commissioner of fisheries for Alaska, acting upon said repre- sentations and believing them to be true, issued an order on April 6, 1929, reopening and restoring

The festivities of Christmas eve in Petersburg were rudely interrupted by the raucous and inharmonious notes of the fire siren just on the tap of midnight. A Christmas tree in Campbell's store had caught on fire pre- sumably from a short in the wiring. Many persons noted the time and failed to respond, mis- taking the alarm for a part of the Christmas celebration. The fire was soon controlled but not before some damage had been done by fire and smoke. The greatest damage, however, was
 the breaking of the plate glass
 windows in the front of the store. All insurance on building and stock had been allowed tC
 expire just short time ago.

Canucks Ask Removal of
 Embargo on Sockeye

When deputy Minister of Fish cries w. A Found returns to Ottawa in the near future he will carry with him a recom- mendation of the Fraser River fishermen asking removal of the embargo prohibiting export Of freshly caught sockeye to the United States.
 The embargo is effective when the current price paid by United States cannerieS is more than Is cents greater than the Canadian price or when Canadian canner- ies refuse to accept Sockeye.
 In a conference held with the deputy minister and Maj. J. A. Motherwell, chief inspector of fisheries, this week the Fraser River fishermen claimed that the embargo caused much hard ship in the season just closed in as much as they could have ob- tained from $1 to SIPS fish on the other side of the bound ary line when Canadian can neries offered much less and for a time a time refused to accept Gockeyes.

With such co-opera- tion Petersburg can accomplish almost anything.

Senator from Caroginia-I may have mistaken the herbivora for doodle-bugs, but it now comes my turn to inform the senator that urside horibillis is a herbi- vera and not a carnivora, eating only verbs, ants, blueberries and prospectors with green whiskers. They are trying to keep him out side the bounds of settlements and transportation So that those who wish to make his acquain- tance from the Pullman window or a palatial steamboat will be required to employ body-guards and pack an army supply of am intuition that they may hear his gentle voice and feel the stroke of his velvety paw.
 Senator from Indihio-I agree with the senator from Caroginia If we continue to allow the Alas kans more latitude they will gain the idea that they are as good as we are, or that they are freeborn American citizens. Look how we have helped them! It was only ten years ago we gave them that beautiful Tibetan herbivora for experimental purposes. From him and the buffalo we sent up they now have fine meat supply in the herds of yakaloeS and gallo wayaks. With the SuS ScrOfa they will have scroffaboos, by crossing with the carideer; then we will have the muskatohrs, by crossing with the muskoxen, which when crossed with the aoudad, produc- es a fine specimen of aoudada- buffs, finishing off with the mark hor and ultimately arriving at the markhor -bureaucrataoudad yak atotohrabuffabo -carilo -magalloW ayak.
