Firen,en Heroes
 or Third Alarm

A paradoxical regard for life is that of the fire f1ghter-the man who risks his life in an eff fort to stop a devastating, de- stroying monster that hos start ed, nine times out of ten, thru someone's careleSSness.
 The fremen must value life as everything and as nothing. His own is worth nothing if a sacri- flee is necessary, but the life of anyone trapped in a burning structure is worth everything. He has to have the will always to fight desperately for life-and yet he must have the fatalism to die when there is nothing else left!
 Bremen are the heroes of The Third Alarm" serial special Saturday at the Coliseum. Their loves, their lives, their heroics, are depicted in this story by Emile Johnson, with an all-star cast that includes Anita Louise, James Hall and others.

Fr0sh Travel Over
 Old, Old Trail

The Frosh initiation at Pe- tersburg High School, Friday night banned out 'steen bushels of hilarity, gobs of fun and "shmears" of giggleS. Twenty two, goggle-eyed, bewildered F'rosh were taught first princip- les of respect and obedience most desireable of FroSh quail ties, especially in the eyes of the upper classmen and Sqpho- mores. Through all their trials and tribulations, they displayed such patience, perseverance and fcrbearance that they were deemed worthy to wear the ban ner of the banner of the Class of '25.
 The evening ended pleasantly in dancing and delicious lu1i- cheon met a we'll planned fate.

Prices of Furs
 Y iu Hold Euen

That furs are likely to hold good at present price levels, is forecast by the Seattle Fur Ex- change in a recently issued bui- letin widely circulated. There is said to be no surplus of raw furs in any market and indications are that the demand will contin-. ue to be steady to strong.
 No advance in prices, general ly, is anticipated, however. The Exchange advises buyers to be cautious as there is no sign Of readjustment of conditions that might tend to give the market an upward trend.
 During this entire upset eco homie condition, the fur trade has been very fortunate inas- much as they have been able to dispose of their merchandise at fair value, while other raw commodities have suffered in tensely.
 The Exchange quotes a let ter from the American Mer- chants Association as follows:
 "The normal trend for our business, which, after all, de- pends upon change of seasons, is one of increased sales from now on. In other words, an increase Of turnover does not mean ani improvement in business, but is merely a natural condition dur ing the Fall months of the year.
 "The scarcity of desireable raw :urs is growing more acute as time goes by However. the moment is not opportune for speculation as future price de- velopments will largely depend on the size of the new fur crop, and the dictates of fashion"

PLANT EASTERN BROOK TRO

The U. s. Fisheries boat Crane left seven cans of Eastern brook trout fngerlings in Petersburg, for planting in local streams. The fry were taken to Falls Creek down the Narrows and planted by Earl Dinner, Al Jor- genson, c. Clausen ct al.
 Fourteen thousand of the same species of trout were planted ln Crystal Lake and in the Aliens Lake, Green Rocks with partial successful results. The trout were planted two years ago in May and the following season these trout spawned and many specl- mems eight and nine inches long were caught in the creek below the lake. This summer, at leas0 one specimen was taken below the island opposite the Smikem Club indicating that the trout came out and entered other streams. No definite informa- tion available as to the success of planting at Aliens Lake. None known to have been taken there or in Colorado Creek.

Thot They Found
 Part of Plane

Charley Wilson and two sons, of Rake, while hunting on the mountains back of Le Conte Bay for mountain goat, found a piece of board covered on one side with metal. They believed this to be a part of an airplane. The board was on peak about IA ,O00 feet up in country that was fit only for goats to climb. The board was twelve inches wide, about ten feet long and they thought an inch thick.
 It was thought for awhile that ahan plane. He matter was taken up with the Seattle Star, which last fall sent an expedition to search for the plane and the Star advised that the Renahan plane had plywood wings paint ed red, orange and yellow. The board found did not fit this de- scription nor description of any part of a plane. It is now be- lieved that it was a marker used by typographical surveyors who worked that section of the coun- try.

Sec. Against
 Pulp Combine

The Department of the Interi- or will not accede to the request of eastern paper and pulp manu-- facturers to prevent establish rlent of the paper and pulp in- dustry in Alaska because of the competition they would offer to existing enterprises is an an nouncement made by Secretary Of the Interior Hyde to James F. Neal, manager of the Ameri- can Paper and Pulp Co.
 In a lengthy letter the Secre- tary states that conditions are ripe for utilization of the for ests of Alaska and that there would be a useless waste of tim Der not to do so.

Make L0Ca! Survey
 Unemployment

In order to secure more def . mite information regarding the number of unemployed and to bring together prospective en- ployers and unemployed, the American Legion and the Peters burg Commercial Club are en- deavoring to secure an accurate census of unemployed in Peters burg.
 All unemployed persons, or those who are employed only part time, are requested to re- port to the city clerk, c. Clausen, who will be supplied with forms for the listing of detailed infor- nation. It is believed that many people in Petersburg have odd jobs that should be taken care of before winter sets in and now is suggested as being the right time to make thorough inspec- tion of roofs, water pipes, foun- dations, walks, fuel supplies, etc, for preparedness is a true econ : omy, and the right man will be secured by consulting the off, cial lists.

Fight for Control
 or Congress

Members of the next Congress are looking for a parliament ary skirmish for control of Con gress. Preliminary moves have been and are being made pro- missing some fierce fighting in December when Congress con- venes.
 At present there are 48 Repub- licans, AT Democrats and l Farmer-Labor in the Senate; in the House there are PA Re- rublicans, PIP Democrats and 1 Farmer-Labor, with 8 vacan- cies.
 Real control by either party is not considered possible so it will be necessary to form coali- tions to carry through any pro- grams.
 The big fight in the House will be over election of Speaker to replace the late Nicholas Long worth. Representative Tilson Rep, of Connecticutt and Rep. Shell of New York are receiving the most consideration for the post while Rep. Garner of Texas, Democrat, is the certain choice of his party.
 Senator Moses of New Hamp- shire is slated for reelection as President pro tenn of the Sen ate but independent western Senators may oppose him and join forces with the Democrats to elect a man to this post. It has been stated that those Sen- ators holding important com mittees will lose their key posi- tions if they line up with the Democrats. Whether the club in the hands of Republican lead CTS is big enough to swing the Westerners into line remains to be seen. There are indications of a general revolt in Western states. If this is true, it will have considerable bearing on the makeup of the next congress,

Radio Telephone
 In Use m Alaska

Announcement was made last week by the U. s. Signal Corps, that the first commercial radio telephone service in Alaska was established at Fortuna Ledge.
 The installation was made un- der the supervision of the Alas ka Telegraph System. It will afford Fortuna Ledge communi-- cation within Alaska and thru contact with the Alaska tele- graph system to all the world.
 A similar station will be in stalled at St. Michael pending the completion of which the outlet for traffic for the Fortuna Ledge station will be via the Alaska telegraph system station at Bethel on the Kuskokwim River.
 Funds for the station were ap,- propriated last spring by the Territorial Legislature. Some of the canneries which operate in Alaska have radio telephone syS- tems but not for commercial use. The Fortuna installation is the first commercial radio telephone system for public use in Alaska.

A telegram received from De- legate Wickersham states that Senator Lynn J. Frazier, chair man of the Senate Sub-C Commit tee on Indian Affairs finds it impossible to come to Alaska to investigate the affairs of the h. dians of Alaska.

New Workers To
 Have Fresh Fish

New York housewives, in fact all housewives in the eastern United States, will soon be able to buy choice salmon steaks from far-off Alaska as fresh as the day they came out of the water. This latest marvel of food distribution, the result of a successful experimental ship ment just concluded by the Ca nadian National Railways, is made possible by the efficiency of the modern refrigerator car and the new "quick freezing" process which is now being ap- piled for the first time to the Alaskan fishing industry.
 The first carload of salmon steaks handled under the new process was delivered by the Ca nadian National Railways a few days ago in Groton, Connecticutt for distribution to New York and other eastern cities. Reports show that the fish were as fresh on the day of it's arrival as when it was packed in the new plant at Ketchikan, Alaska, despite the fact that it had been eleven days in transit and passed thru external temperatures varying between 60 and 90 degrees. This is the longest haul ever attempt ed with ''quick frozen" fish and the success of the experimental shipment will be followed by re- |gular deliveries of fresh Alaskan and North Pacific Coast fish to eastern markets, according to officials of the Canadian Ma tional Railways.

BETTER FISH, BETTER PRICE

Salmon prices jumped up to 16 cents per pound this week for large reds from ten cents per pound which was paid all sum- mer. MT. Wallis George of the Juneau Cold Storage attributes the advance to the fine quality of fish in Port Alexander and Coronation Island areas" The statement was made this sum- mer that the fish delivered was poor quality, being too lean for the market purposes.
 The fact is that at present salmon are not overly plentiful and the old law of supply and demand is working out.

Slip Cover Projection

WITH "sIip-cover time" approaching In the
w average home. the Department Of Agri-
culture issues warning to housewives as to just
how far the covers may be relied upon for
moth protection during the late Spring and
Summer months.
First of, warning Is given that 1t Is not the
moth. but the larvae, which eat the fabric OF
wooden and similar coverings Of upholstered
furniture. When the moth has already laid its
eggs deep In the pile OF upholstery and then
slip covers are placed over the furniture to keep
the moths away the larvae hatch and feed un-
noticed until with the removal of the covers,
some months later. great damage Is frequently
found to have been done.
The department experts who have made an
extensive study Of the situation, declare that
the slip covers excellent protection, but that
they should be removed at frequent intervals
and the furniture thoroughly brushed and
examined. With these precautions much Of the
damage may be prevented not completely
eliminated
There are two species of moth which cause
the trouble and these are present generally
throughout the country. The adults. or millers,
seek the dark places, deep in the pile Of wooden
fabrics and other fabrics Of animal origin. The
life cycle from the depositing Of the eggs until
the adult moth is developed varies from SIS days
for some types to several years. This entire
time may be spent in the deep recesSes Of a
chair The destruction Of the moth may not
be on the surface, for II access Is available to
the interior Of the furniture the eggs may be
laid there. The larvae, Matching unseen. may
sever the threads from the loop side and first
warning Of the damage may be at the brushing
out Of the tufts after being severed beneath the
surface.
