LINDBERGHS RECEIVE
 JAPANESE OVATION

TOKYO, Aug. 27.-The Japanese people welcomed Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh yesterday at the end of the flight from New York with one of the greatest demonstra- tions ever seen in the ancient capi- tai. Shouts of banzia filled the air. Police struggled to hold en- thusiastic crowds in check as the Lindberghs rode in an open auto mobile through two and a half miles of streets decorated in their honor, to the home they will occupy during a brief stay before extending their flight to some city of China. The Lindberghs were given the greatest reception ever accorded foreigners in Japan. Even the demonstrations upon the visits of the Prince of Wales in 1922 and the dirigible Graf Zeppelin in 1929 were out done.

 The San Juan Fishing and Pack ing Company of Seattle wired their buyers here the following instruc- tions: All kinds fresh salmon sell ing very low prices; therefore, must reduce buying price accordingly. You at once change price on silvers to 20 cents each. This effective on receipt of this message" The Sebastian-Stuart Fish Company wir- ed substantially the same orders to their buyers.
 Practically none of the gillnet fishermen are fishing this week on account of the low price of river echoes. A few gill net fishermen went out Thursday and brought in few echoes but not enough to flood the market. At 20 cents most of the gillnetters claim they can- not make expenses and consider it waste of time to go out.
 At meeting of gillnetters Mon day the low-priee situation was dis cussed. A wire sent to Prince Ru- pert brought the information that the price of echoes there was 5 cents a pound.
 Halibut boats began loading this morning with local river echoes to take to Prince Rupert for sale. An other halibut boat is expected to- morrow for a second load.

 Heroic Not Recognized By Commission

by which he saved his sister, was duly received.
 "The Carnegie Hero Fund applies to acts in which conclusive evidence may be obtained showing that the person performing the act Volun- tarily risked his own life to an ex- traordinary degree in saving, or at tempting to save, the life of a fell low-being; and only to such acts of this kind as have been performed by persons the nature of whose duties in following their regular vacations does not necessarily require them to perform such acts.
 "Also, the Commission has not seen its way clear to give favorable con- sideration to acts which are prompt ed by the ties of close consanguinity or of matrimony. Therefore, regret to say, We cannot consider this case further.
 Another reason why this case cannot be considered is that tht Commission has not seen its way clear to give favorable consideration to acts performed by children who
 have not reached the age of dis cretion."

Carnegie who said when creating the fund, 'I do not expect to stimulate or create heroism by this fund, knowing well that heroic action is impulsive; but do believe that, if the hero is in- jured in his bold attempt to serve or save his fellows, he and those dependent upon him should not suf- fer pecuniarily thereby"

RECORDING OF TRAP LINES
 IS FAVORED BY REPLIES

Of the replies thus far received by the Alaska Game Commission to the questionnaires pertaining to the proposition of registering trap lines, fully 70 per cent are in favor of it, according to W. H. Ter hume, executive officer of the com mission. reports the Anchorage Daily Times.
 About 2,O00 questionnaires were sent out from the Juneau office to trappers in all parts of the Terri tory, and it is hoped that suffi- cient number of replies will be re- ceived to enable the commission, at it's annual meeting in the late fall to arrive at definite conclusion regarding the sentiment of the trap pers.
 This is not a proposition that the Alaska Game Commission is trying to put over" on the trappers, MT. Terhune has assured What is be- ing done is merely an effort to as- certain the views of the trappeFs on the question and if it appears to be the desire of the majority to protect their trap lines in this manner. a plan probably will be formulated by the commission to enable them to do so. But not otherwise.

Junior and Senior Classes Await Completion New
 School Building

4. Rasmussen. superintendent of Wrangell schools, makes the follow ing announcement regarding the opening of the next school term:
 School will open on Tuesday morning, September s, for the first six grades in the old grade build ing with the following corps Of teachers: Mrs. Neya Coulter. 1st grade; Miss Nellie Hagerty, End and Srd grades; Miss Agnes Ait ken. 4th and 9th grades; Miss Anna Eide, 9th and 9th grades.
 The remaining six grades will not begin until the new building is ready.
 Smallpox Vaccination
 This year the school board re- quires that all pupils present certifi- cate of vaccination before being en- rolled. Parents should take care of this matter now. The health of fieer, Dr. Turner, will vaccinate pu- pils reporting to him and issue cer- tineates. This will be done free of charge, the town bearing the ex- pense. Pupils are asked to report to Dr. Turner afternoons between two and tour o'clock. Those who have been recently vaccinated do not need to have it done again. Where parents object to vaecina- tion because of religion or for some other valid reason, written state ment to that effect from such par ents will be accepted by the school. However, in case of an epidemic of smallpox the school board will i'm mediately exclude such unyaccinated pupils from school. Vaccination is the only effective method of pre- venting smallpox. To be effective it must be done before the disease breaks out. It is useless to vacci- nate for smallpox after one has caught the disease.
 Pupils Must Buy Books
 The school board also requires that pupils buy their own books this year. In former years free text books have been furnished. This was made possible because the Ter ritory paid large part of the cost. The Territory will no longer refund on books of any kind, so it will be necessary for pupils to buy them. The school will sell all books at cost and at the close of the term will buy them back, if in good condition, with a reasonable deduction for wear.

 This is the one and only appeal made throughout the year, and every dollar donated is spent in Wrangell for Wrangell needs.
