VALUE OF AN AIR BASE

The outlook bright for the early establishment of base in Seward This will bring the city into close touch with many points hitherto reached by the slow pro- cess f water transportation isolated for many months by ce and weather conditions.
 In addition to supplying this Jason the service will divert Seward large volume of business hitherto go ing other points because of the lack of contact such local air base will supply.
 The most prolific commercial field lies to the West ward with it's many canneres fur trading posts and gov enmental activities demanding rapid communication, high expense
 Through the airplane, the Westward will be able to receive fresh eggs vegetables and fruits which have re nenous influence upon the health and happiness of those far out on the fringe of civilization By the process medical relief will be available within few hours instead of the weeks and sometimes months that must intervene before boat touches at these outlying points. With splendid hospital capable of caring for any demand made Godsend in addition to its importance commercial as set to the city.

WHO KNOWS?

Despite the fact that for several weeks what appears to be is progress Manchura the in the street knows little of either cause effect-of why all the mill tary activities the part of Japan and who actually started the row
 Thus far all information has from three highly preudiced sources-China Japan and Soviet Russia. In the case of the former two it is natural that each side should color its reports to favor it's Regarding ports emanating from Soviet Russia, may take them as propaganda seeking to fortfy the Soviet cause as against it's opponents.
 Injected into the affair is the League of Nations Among it's primary duties is to inform the world of the facts with respect to the begerens and justify it's posi- tion in espousing the of the one other
 This vagueness and failure of those whose duty it is prevent discipline those who violate the peace pact indicates that the old backdoor tactics of makers masqueradng under an alias
 Until evidence is presented by disinterested source showing the merits and demers of the conflicting claims of China and Japan the world at large only wonder and speculate And until the situation is made clear in language understandable by the average man, it is futile to attempt to form conclusions Hence such thing world opinion negated under the subtletes employed by warmakers for misleading mankind.

SEWARD HIGH SCHOOL HAS TASK BEFORE II
 IN FINANCING GYM

The Seward high school students and faculty, being aware that un- less they themselves took over the solving of Stewards annual gym- nasium problem this year that they would probably be without any means of physical expression, form ed the Seward High School Athletic Association. This association has taken over the Dreamland Hall and will sponsor athletics in Seward during the winter months.
 It is the desire of this organiza- tion to subject the gymnasium to various athletic organizations such as the handball teams, various bas- ketball teams, indoor baseball teams, both men and women, and business mems gymnasium classes.
 Schedules are to be worked out whereby the various athletic ac- tivities will be given a due share of the time and yet not conflict with other schedules.
 Inasmuch as the expense budget is somewhat heavy for the means at hand, the expenses, including rent al for the hall, heat, light, fuel and janitor service, the school needs the support of everyone in main taining the gymnasium. The gym nasium is an institution wherein the physical characteristics and the Well-being of children, youths and older persons are developed to better extent than would be pos Sible without such.

FRESH SALMON MARKETS DULL;
 PRICES SLUMP
Dearth in Demand from States Attributed to
 Mild Cured Stocks

Fresh salmon markets in the States are so dull that prices for catches here and elsewhere in Southeast Alaska are discouraging to both fishermen and shippers. Quotations on the fishing grounds have dropped to cents a pound for white kings, cents for small reds and 8 cents for large reds, and the best figures at docks here are 3, and 10.
 Quality Is Excellent
 The fish is of excellent quality this season, much superior to what it was at this time last year, when large reds commanded 24 cents a pound.
 The dearth in demand from the States Is attributed to holdover stocks of mild cured fish, in which the owners have heavy investments in consequence of last years good prices and which they want to move before they take on fresh fish commitments.
 Wallis s. George, President and Manager of the Juneau Gold Stor- age Company, and w. F. Schrey, Mayor of Sitka and engaged in the fish-buying business there, left here today for Seattle.
 Will Survey Markets
 Their mission, it is believed by local fishing interests, is to survey salmon marketing prospects in Pa- cific Northwest ports and to discuss sales conditions with dealers there. Both MT. George and MT. Schrey are expected to return North in ten days or two weeks.
 There were no fish receipts of any kind in Juneau today.

TOWN ENTITLED
To REBATE, IS
CLAIM MADE
Case Continued So That Part
of Sum Specified May Bel
Included in Court Plea

That the town of Colmar
Manor would receive a substan-
tial rebate on 1927 road taxes be-
came evident yesterday when
Judge Joseph c. Mattingly con-
tinued the case in order to allow
Bird Dolby, counsel for the town,
to amend his declaration so as
to include only that portion Of
tax funds which had not been
turned over to the county at the
time of the towns Incorporation.
Under existing law incorporated
towns receive IS per cent rebate
on road taxes. COlmar Manor
became incorporated in May,
1927. but. nevertheless, did not re-
receive its quota Of road funds.
1t was the contention Of M.
Hampton Magruder that the town
should inform the county of its
incorporation and not until then
should the rebates be paid.
Judge Mattingly upheld 80 of
Mr.. Magruder's exceptions, and,
from all indications, the case will
be appealed.
A suit for $4,000 personal dam
ages, filed by Augustus ESkite,
Spanish-American War veteran,
against John and Mary Lienhard,

brought in a verdict for the de.

According to Mr.. Eskite's allega-
tions. he had been living in the

bed because of illness.
