SCHOOL CADETS
HERE SAFE

The recommendation of the
War Department that the number
of retired Army officers who are
instructors in the cadet corps
should be reduced will not affect
local schools, it was said today by

If the number Of Army instruc.
tors here were reduced, MI. Kra-
mer explained, it would be up 10
the Board of Education to employ
a new staff. Although the War
Department furnishes the instruc-
tors, he said, cadet work Is en-
tirely within control Of school Off.

Mr.. Kramer commended Col.

 Generally, it has not been pros- porous. It has many problems incident to breeding, feeding and raising of animals, which, packers of the experimental farm program say, require expert advice and at tention such as could only be pro- vided by the experimental system.
 Two House Bills
 In a brief session yesterday char acterized by only routine proceed ings, two measures were introduced. One, by MT. Nylen, seeks authority to erect a new school house at Fortuna Ledge and carried an ap- propriation clause asking for $6,000.
 The second measure was by MT. Boyle for the relief of St. Ann's hospital of this city for the care of Abraham Peterson and asking for $1.844 for that purpose. -.
 Is Cannery Patient
 Peterson, records of the Cover nor's office show, was brought here last year from the Libby cannery at Taku Harbor. He came to the Territory from Oregon as a can- nery worker. He is suffering from paralysis and has been confined to the hospital for almost year.
 The Governor has had consider able correspondence with the can- ming company's officials relating to the payment of the hospital ex- penses and it is held by Gov. Parks that he was not authorized to in cur such expenditures. It is un- derstood that the company offered to pay portion of the account but did not feel it was justified in assuming the responsibility for continued care of Peterson.

New Mountain Beacons
 Defy Weather Hazards

RENO, New, March 12-Installed despite natural handicaps, three federal radio range beacons guide pilots flying over the Sierra Ne vadas between Reno and Oakland, California.
 The stations are located at Fern ly, Nevada, and Auburn and Don- ner Summit, California, with the greatest problems at the latter site in the form of high winds, heavy snows and wood-boring termites.
 The site is at an altitude of T. 135 feet, overlooking Donner lake, two and one-half miles from the nearest highway over rocky terri tory.
 Steel poles had to be moved by dog teams in sections, solid rock surfaces had to be blasted for set ting the poles, and heavy winds made it necessary to anchor the station houses with wire cables.

A similar resolution was enacted at the 1929 session of the Legislature.
 Fur Commission Wanted
 Senator Bragaw's fur commission and fur farm bill provides for an appointive board of five members to be named by the Governor, com posed of one member from each of the four judicial divisions and the fifth member veterinary expert to be the executive officer.
 His salary would be not more than $4,000 per year and expenses at not more than $2,000 annually Board members would not be paid salaries but when occupied in at- tending meetings would receive a per diem of $10.
 The establishment of exper l. mental fur farms in the several sec- tions is authorized by the bill. The first of such farms, however, would be somewhere on the Alaska Rail- road, the location to be determined by the Commission. Sites for suc- ceeding farms, if established, would also be selected by the Commis- sion.

Recoveries in Midday Do Not Equal Losses Re-
 corded in Forenoon

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-On the New York Stock Exchange prices fell with leaden heaviness in the early trading today. Causes for the decline were the absence of any impressive signs of seasonal trade recovery and the suspension of four banks in Toledo, Ohio. The reaction this forenoon was the sev- crest since the United States Steel Corporation cut its dividend last June.
 The forenoon losses were mod erately reduced by midday im- provement.
 Case and Allied Chemical drop ped five and six points in the forenoon, but recovered two and three points in the midday rise. American Telephone, American Can, Southern Pacific, New York Gen. tral, Woolworth, Sears Roebuck, General Electric and Autolite de- clined two to four points.
