AFRICAN NATIVES
FEELING RESULT
OF DEPRESSION

BAMAKO, (Soudan, July 6. U.P)
The world depression, felt so
severely in Europe and America,
mas swept the brush OF Africa and
natives of the southern fringes OF
the Sahara, the Niger valley, the
virgin forests of the Congo and the
Ivory and Gold Coasts have been
hard-hit in the annual bartering
which has just been concluded.
Suffering threatens to be intense
among the African natives unless
they can find a market for their
oil palm and copra, yams, grain,
mutton and dried fruis.
The natives have sold their last
crops and herds at Unusually low
prices, because of the lowered costs
of raw products.
The past season was also disas-
trous for the Syrian merchants, who
came into French West Africa in
great numbers after the war and

IMPROVEMENT ON
San DIEGO ROAD
TO Aid VALLEY

The Ell Centre Chamber OF Com
merce has received telegraphic ad-
vices from Hal Hobson. district
manager OF the Automobile Club OF
Southern California, in San Diego,
which will be good news for the peo-
pie of Imperial Valley as they s.ate
that the San Diego highway con-
tractor. Paul Ford, has two road
graders at work and is sprinkling
the detour between Live OAK
Springs and La Posta. AS this road
is wide and is constructed Of de-
composed granite, sprinkling and
grade work will make fine road
way out Of It.
On July Il, according to Hobson,
the westerly five miles of the new
concrete highway will be formally
opened to traffic, leaving only
short stretch near Live Oak Springs
on which concrete is now being
poured. This last stretch will be
finished on August l, and will be
thrown open to traffic on August %.
In the meantime the former gravel
led roadway, now serving as a de-
tour, will be properly maintained
and kept in good shape and the
staff of the Ell Centro chamber has
been advised to announce to the
people of Imperial Valley that they
need not hesitate in recommending
travel over this route as due to its
decomposed granite formation 1t
will be practically as good as hard
surfaced highway.
This news will be pleasing to the
people of Imperial Valley as many
will be using this route during the
summer, and they have been much
agrieved over the condition of the
La Posta-Live Oaks Springs detour
| The FL Centro Chamber OF Com
merce has sent a message of con-
graduation to Hobson and Antonio
bile Club officials in San Diego
complimetning them on obtaining
improvements on this detour tt
maintain it properly until sucf
time, when the westerly five mile
of the new road will be open fol
travel.

BASKET BALL

With 9 fourishing start the basket ball season is on. The first games of the season to be rlaved on the local floor were witnessed by an enthusiastic gathering of fans at the Sons of Norway hall last Friday evening, IA double header game had been announced with all four teams composed of local boys. Through out both games the rooterS were evenly divided in their loyalty as we'll they might bc for the scores were often tied.
 In the first game the High school second team. faced the
 Merchants second team. It was
 a game which alone would have heen worth the price of ad mission. It has been often charged that in the American system of competitive school athlethics all the training is showered upon those individuals who stand least in need of it
 This is not true in Petersburg
 this year and it must be a source of satisfaction to the coach tC
 know that he has an excellent second team from which tC
 choose a sub for any position and the first team men must be constantly on their mettle tc hold their places.
 Tn the second game, which
 was a contest between the High 1 school first team and the Mer- Ichants first team the final score stood 35-34 in favor of the Higf
 school. It was a great game fol | the fans and they are still talk. ling about it-those who have re covered from their hoarsenes Sufficiently to be able to talk a

Suggests Curtail Cost
 Railroad Operation

Recommendations for cuts in operating costs of the Alaska Railroad are being prepared by a special senatorial committee which conducted an investiga- tlon during the past summer. The committee was composed of Senators Robert B. Howell, Re- publican, Nebraska, chairman: John Thomas, Republican, Idaho and J. B. Kendrick, Wyoming. Democrat. In their investiga- Clons they had found no way in which the government could oct rid of the railroad or entirely wipe out the annual operating losses. They believe, however, that if their proposals are a. dopted, that the annual deficit which in the fiscal year amount ed to $1,231, ,998, can be reduced by perhaps one-third.
 The recommendations of the committee, it is reported, will provide for the abandonment of certain portions of the line, a reduction in train service on other parts, a cut in some of the overhead operating expenses in cluding elimination of some of the employees and an increase in freight rates. The committee members found that freight rates were only about half as great as charges made by pri- vatcly owned railroads in other parts of Alaska. It was their opinion, therefore. that freight carried should made to bear a greater part of the actual oper- ating costs.

Rhetorical Contest
 In B. E. Schools

Three years ago, in order
 that the Indian boys and girls
 of Southeastern Alaska might
 master the English speech, a
 rhetorial contest was started by
 MT. Hawkesworth, then Super 1ntendent of the Divisional work
 of the Bureau of Education. The Alaska Native Brotherhood re- cognizing the worth of the idea and plan immediately joined With MT. Hawkesworth in bring ing the idea to a full fruition. So at each convention of the Brotherhood these contests are held. Poems and prose Selec- tionS are worked on during the year with local presentations be- fore the people of the commuri- ty. Those events are supposed to occur once a month. At the end of the school year delegates are chosen to represent the schools in the district contest to be held in November. Gold and silver nrizes are offered to the first and second winners and a valu- able book goes to the contestant winning third place.
 Last November the winner of first prize was Frank Hayward of Metlakatla, also a former atten- dant in the Petrsburg school. His subject was "The Victory of Marengo," second prize was talk en by Charles Demmert, Jr., of Klawock-"To a Young Man in Italy" a badge; Axel Skulka of Hvdaburg took third place re- citing Oh Captain, My Captain His prize was Uncle Sam's At tic" a book on Alaska by Mary Lee Davis.
 The winner Frank Hayward speaking of his impressions be- fore the mike" of KGBU of Ketchikan said: T did not want to diSappoint my teachers and my town" A spirit that might well be the keynote of everyone in every town.

 William John Cooper plans to
 visit Alaska and will make a
 short stay in Juneau some time
 this coming April. It is the plan at that time to have representa- tive educators throughout the Territory meet with him there for a conference. MT. Cooper is one of the foremost educators in the United States and this op- portunity of Territorial educa- tors to meet with him in Juneau is one that should be fully uti- lized.
 This plan was announced be- fore consideration of the House bill which would transfer the Bureau of Education admins tration of educational matters in Alaska over to the Indian Bu- reau. However, it has been an nounced that the personnel in this work would not be changed so it is presumed that the ori- ginal plan for the visit will be carried through.

Change Wording h
 Land Grant Bill

The Alaska Native Brother hood of Ketchikan and other natives have in Congress a bill which would give to them title to an area of tide land 200 feet square in the Thomas Basin inn Iprovement harbor project, Ket- chikan. Considerable opposition
 has been raised to the bill as
 now stands which would give
 exclusive right and title to the
 area to the Indians. After a re
 cent consideration of the bill the Brotherhood agreed to
 changes in the wording of the
 bill which provides granting ot title to the area in the same
 manner as was granted to the
 American Legion Post of Ketchi-
 kan which secured tide land property in the same basin sev-
 eral years ago.
 It was not intentional on the part of the Brotherhood to have Ethe exclusive features of the bill incorporated and presented tc Congress. The bill merely follow ed the wording of an earlier bill
 sponsored by the Secretary o1 ] the Interior.
