There Shall Be
 Y ars and Run,ors

Considerable excitement was prevalent in Petersburg, Satur- day night when over tn. radi1 announcement was received that China and Japan were at war. Much conjecturing was being made as to how many nations it would effect.
 Diplomatic relations were sore
 y strained and stretched by the threatened occupation of the Capital of Manchuria by Japar- csc troops and the landinc ot Japanese forces in China. The walled city of Mukden was bom- b~rJed and captured and sc- cond force of Japanese soldiers landed at Tsingtao, soutAcoast of Shantung.
 The Chinese declare that the Southern Manchurian Railway, operated by the Japanese, was destroyed in part by the Japan csc for a pretext to attack Muk- den.
 The Japanese Government was making effort, to keep the con- hagration localized. The Chi nese Foreign Office officials de- clared they had no official in formation regarding the bonn bardment and capture of Muk : den and also expressed the hope that the trouble would be local ized.
 It was estimated that 15 Chi nese were wounded and between .600 and 800 captured. The cas- .ualties at Mukden were said to be small. South Manchuria is said to be in the grip of Japan.
 Foreign Minister c. T. Wang despatched a4~vigeroHs protest to the Japanese Government ir which cessation of hostilities at Mukden is immediately demand led and that all Japanese troops be withdrawn to their original positions.
 A dispatch from Changchun stated that heavy fighting be- tween China and Japan took place and that Q Chinese garri- son surrendered. About 30 Jap .anese were killed and 90 wound ed while the Chinese casualties were reported as being very heavy as machine guns were us- led by the Japanese.

Local Hunters
 Bag Big Moose

The contest for the biggest deer of the season subsided very abruptly last Saturday evening when Ole Husvik and lis part ner arrived at the Cold Storage Dock and proudly hoisted up a young bull moose with a full set Of antlers. The moose was kill ed along the beach between Le Conte Bay and Horn Cliff. Moose have not been very plentiful on the shores of Frederick Sound and thereby hangs a tale Of both good and bad luck.
 It seems that Leon Hasbrouck, fox rancher on Camp Island, had been moose hunting on the Sti- kline River last week and early Friday morning discovered fresh moose tracks on the flats. He followed the tracks from six o'clock Friday morning until II o'clock that night, when he was forced to admit the moose was too fast for him although he had driven the coveted trophy the full length of the North Arm from the main river almost to his own door. Early next morn ing a moose was sighted on the beach by Husvik and his part her and a single shot behind the ear made beef of this monarch of the marshlands.
 The people of Petersburg thronged the wharf all day Sun day to see it as all other moose, which have been brought in were dressed and quartered The animal tipped the scales at 83O pounds dressed. The head is to be mounted.
 Aliens and Torkilsen Bring
 Home Bull Moose
 John Allen, Mary Allen and Gene Torkelson returned from the Stikine River with a large bull moose. The noise of the motor of Torkilsen's speed boat started the moose on the run, but they were able to get within shooting distance. Miss Allen scored a hit; two shots by Tor kilson went wild but his third and last shot struck the moose in the neck and laid him low. The party brought back the big gest load of ''beef" the little boat ever carried.

Plans
 At an enthusiastic meeting oi the City Council, in the Council Rooms last Monday, the School Board, represented by Dr. Rude, presented tentative plans for a school gymnasium building 73 feet wide by 108 feet long, 24 foot sides, with an oval roof covered temporarily with pre- pared roofing carried by trusses to obviate the need for center supports. The building will rest on 93 concrete piers dug down to hardpan at an average depth of five feet according to sound ings made by Henry Hasbrouck. MT. Louis Israelson and MT. Welty estimtaed the materials and it is thought the cost of materials can be kept within a limit of $4,5OO.
 After some careful calculation, the Council decided it would be possible to provide funds for such a structure by using $5,OO0 which had been provided for the retirement of school bonds. Allowing for such taxes as may not be paid promptly, the tax levy should provide at least $1,- 600 or $1,700, which will be available for use this fall. This, augmented by the above men tioned $5,O00, plus $500 which stands as a donation from Jack Hanseth, provides a fund which is still insufficient according to the Councils advisors, for under ordinary conditions, labor would cost approximately as much as the material.
