M. 5. zAPORA MAKES
 FIRST LOCAL CALL

lnaugurating new bi-weekly freight
 and passenger transportation service between Seattle and Hyder, the mo. torship Zapora of the Wills Nayiga-
 ton Company, with Captain J. H.
 foreman, general manager of the
 company, in command, arrived in port
 at P. M. Friday afternoon. In ad- dition to 14 passengers for various Alaska points, the Zapora carried a
 large quantity of cargo, some of "hich was for Hyder. The vessel re- manned here several hours before leaving for northern points.
 The Zapora is a stout and trimly Dullt vessel and presents an exceed ihgly flne appearance. She is slightly larger than the M. s. Norco hut nf somewhat smaller cargo capacity and mas accomodations for 16 first class passengers. Each cabin is spacious and comfortable, we'll furnished and provided with running hot and cold water The cargo capacity is 800 tons ana the vessel has a cool room of 40 tons capacity for transporting per- ishaDles. This is fitted at present Wlth large ice lockers at each end to maintain the low-temperatures neces- safy, but the Wills company is plan. ng 10 install automatic refrigeratine Flant in April which will provide perfect cold storage.
 Ihe Aapora has been operating steadily in Alaska waters for several years and maintains regular service between Seattle and many of the smaller points along the Alaska coast. according to Capt. Foreman. During 'he summer season the vessel visits points as far to the westward as Fort Altrop, but the bulk of the com 2ahy business is with the more ont. lylng points along the Alaskan Arch upelago between Ketchikan and Jun 3au, many of which are not reached by the larger vessels.
 Relative to the contemplated Ioca, serVlce, Capt. Foreman reiterated the statements made in telegrams from the Wllls company received here last week, stating that the company is ready to provide dependable, regu. lar. direct service between Seattle ana Hyder, with sailing from Seattle every two weeks. This will be main. tanned throughout the year in the event that reasonable amount of ton. hage can be secured.
 'Cater1ng as we are to the smaller places along the Alaska coast" Capt. Foreman said, i've are not expecting large tonnages, and can operate on a much smaller individual tonnage than the larger vessels. We have been giving steady and satisfactory ser. wee to these smaller places for years. and this is the best assurance that we can serve Hyder in a dependable ana satisfactory manner. We feel that Hyder is entitled to a continuous di. rect service from Seattle and wish tn make it our first port of call in the 1uture."

 FOR ALASKA RAILROAD

The Seattle Chamber of Commerce in a strongly word- ed resolution, has urged a de- flclency appropriation of S5OO,000 for the Alaska Rail- road for the next fiscal year and entered a vigorous protest against the raising of passen- ger and freight rates. It called upon delegations from Wash lngton, Oregon and California to take some action to obtain favorable action before Con- gress adjourns. A copy of the resolution submitted to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce declared, in view of the de- creased operating revenues provided by Congress for next year and the order for rate in- creases, an emergency existed in interior Alaska, according to the Juneau Empire.

Fine Turnout at C. of C. Dinner

The popularity of the monthly din ner meetings instituted recently by the Hyder Chamber of Commerce was again attested Wednesday by 8 large turnout of members at the meet ing held at the Silver Grill
 Silver Grill
 Twenty persons were present when President k. D. Haddon called the five-course repast and marked inter. est was manifested by everyone throughout the proceedings, which were devoted mainly to routine busi. ness.
 Among the matters of public interes. presented were a report by president Haddon that Suggestion Box fol receiving signed suggestions iron anyone regarding local matters anf improvements, had been installed al Chamber of Commerce Hall, and z report by w. D. Smith to the effect that proposals made to the Stewart Board of Trade that joint meetingc or that body and the Hyder Chamber Of Commerce be held occasionally had resulted in no definite action Mr. Haddon reOrted advices from Delegate Sutherland to the effect tha, nothing could be done on the Cham ber's unemployment relief proposals respecting flood control works on Salmon River, as the recent passage Of bill for survey of the projec, had placed the matter definitely in the hands of the war department.
 Considerable enthusiasm was creat ed by the reading of a letter from tho lar nd that work on the big project was ex pected to start about April 1, and all announcement was also read tha, work on the Banded Mountain pack trail was exected to start as soon a. snow conditions permit.
 Action toward securing pack trail along the east slope of Salmon Valley from the Davis place to con. meet with the Daly Alaska trail and serve g prominent mining properties was proposed by Oren F. Hill and en dorsed by others present. MT. Hill suggested it be proposed to the For est Service as an unemployment re. lief measure and said Arthur Moa had offered to draft map to assist in presenting the project. MT. Hill and B. B. Smith were delegated as a con- mlttee to handle the matter and to invite Mir. Moa to assist.
 A proposal to install a new street light over the dark side walk below Attorney Blues office was discussed. Mir Smith, light company manager. agreed to donate the current free if the Chamber of Commerce would in. stall the light. Ernest Love agreed to perform the work.

Joerss and air engineer Emil kading, who disappeared mysterious. ly February 2S, after leaving Tele- graph Creek enroute to Vancouver in the salvaged plane of the late Capt. k. J. A.

Senate Passes Search
 Without-Warrant Game Bill

The House bill amending the Alaska Game Law and giving to employees of the Alaska Game Commission wide lati- tude in making searches with out warrants, in addition to the other changes in the game law, passed the Senate a few days ago, according to an announcement by Game Commission officials reported in the Juneau Empire.
 The measure, reference to which was made in earlier editions of the Herald, was protested by nearly every Chamber of Commerce in the Territory, but without effect. The measure authorizes game wardens and other en- ployees to search without war rants, camp and pack outfits, boats, automobile and virtually all other places where they have reason to believe contra band furs are concealed.
 The bill also authorizes the imposition of a local hunting license fee of $1 and a com bination hunting and trapping license fee of $2.

The institution of a matinee display is in the nat ure of an accommodation to many patrons, and particularly those of Stewart, who ire quently find it difficult to at tend the evening show.
 The program will be the same as at the regular Sun- day evening display and will start at 2:30 P. M. MT. Nagle states that the afternoon shows will be continued each Sunday as long as patronage permits.

Commenting last week on the splendid advertisement given the Hyder and Stewart districts by the Alaska Weekly of Seattle, the full name of that widely known Alaska pub lication was omitted by the Herald as result of an unfor- tunate typographical error. We hasten to rectify the omission, while rendering regretful apol- ogies to that excellent publi- caion, whose efforts in behalf of Alaskan development are highly appreciated.

ALASKA LEGISLATURE
 NOW IN SESSION

The 1881 session of the
 Alaska Legislature convened
 in Juneau last Monday but no information regarding pro- ceedings has been received here up to the present.
 The question of who would be speaker of the House and chairman of the Ways and Means Committee appears from the Juneau Empire to have been the theme of con- siderable speculation in the capitol city. The Empire states that if J. H. Murray would ac- cept the speakership it prob ably would be his, since he has served in six of the pre- vious nine sessions and is un- doubtedly one of the most pop ular members ever serving in the House. But he has con- sistently discouraged any men, tion of his name in connection with the speakership in the past and probably won't hear of it in the present term.
 Rep. Andrew Nerland, of Fairbanks, served as speaker in 1921 and may come in for consideration and Rep. Frank II. Foster, who is entering on his fourth term is also regard ed as having excellent chances. A. H. Ziegler, Ketchikan, or Grover c. Winn, Juneau, might be selected.
 MT. Foster, in a public state ment last week apparently voiced the prevailing senti- ment of the legislators in de- claring that economy in gov ernment expenditures is the paramount need. Unless ap- are curbed, the Territory will be faced with an actual deficit at the end of the next bi-ennium, he asserted.
 MT. Foster is also favorable to the repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry Law, which he declared, l is certain to come before the He and other members expressed themselves as seeing little call for any great amount of legislation and the passage of fewer laws than usual is indicated from opinions expressed by mem- berS.

Four Candidates Nominated
 For Hyder School Board

!
 bership on the Hyder Schoo
 Board were nominated at 2
 special meeting of the
 School Board held in Chamber
 of Commerce hall last Satur.
 day evening. Two of the can.
 didates are ladies, Mrs. H. R Cross and Mrs. F. D. Haddon, the other two being Wm. R, Mcdonnell and N. M. Traversy. Mir. Traversy, who is a direct or on the present school board, was the only member of the old board to offer himself for reelection.
 Mrs. Cross and MT. Mcdonnell were nominated to fill the one year term, while Mrs. Haddon and MT. Traversy were named for the two-year term.
 Although held under the auspices of the School Board, the meeting was not strictly a school board affair, but was called by the board in defer ence to a long established local custom of nominating school board candidates at a public meeting. MT. Traversy presid- ed and D. J. Mulcare, clerk of the school board, acted as secretary.
 During the course of the meeting Director Traversy an- nounced that nominated can didates who desired to with draw from the race before election day, could do so by submitting written withdraw al to the clerk of the school board.
 MT. Traversy also voiced the opinion that it would be a good idea for the School Board to make a report to the public on school affairs, show ng them what had been done during the school term and al- SO what was proposed to be done. This procedure, he said, would give the public better understanding of school board affairs and tend to create in- creased interest in the conduct of the school.
 It was also suggested that a Teacherage, for the accomoda- ton of the school teacher, be built here, as has been done in other parts of Alaska and in the States.
 The meeting also decided by vote that the polls are to be open from 9 A. M. to 7 P. M. on election day, March IA, and that the School Board select the election judges and clerks.

Breuer Condemns System of
 Electing School Com,nissio ones

Declaring that the removal of the office of Commission ot Education from an appointive to an elective basis was "un- timely and unprogressive" and "a step backward, according to educational theory and prac- tice of the present day" L. w. Breur, retiring Territor- ial Commissioner of Education recommends the removal of the office 'from the present political atmosphere" in his report for the school biennium ended June 30, last.
 Instead of electing the Com missioner of Education, Mr. Breur's report, which recom- mends seventeen changes in the present system of school administration, suggests the re- vision of the present Territor- ial department to meet the future needs of the school sys- tenn, which he asserts ''is grow ing and will continue to grow"
 "This revision," MT. Breur says, should be centered about the Territorial Board of Education and it's executive officer, the Commissioner of Education," and suggests that the board be reorganized to consist of five lay members and the Governor, who can give their time solely to the study of our educational sys- tenn and it's problems, and who should "receive this position by appointment, free of pol itical influence
 MT. Breuer suggests that the lay members of the board be appointed one from each of the judicial divisions and one from the territory at large, for a term of six years, the term of not more than two members to expire in the same year, The Governor in such event to be an eX- officio member of the board.
 "The object, he says, ''being to get the best qualified mem bers possible"
 "Conditions," he adds, "tend to put such appointments in the hands of the Governor. While it is true that there might be objections to this method, it seems the best. Such appointments to be concurred in by Legislature"
 The board should be endow- ed with all the powers and duties of the present organi- zation, and such others as may be necessary to the school system, in addition to the pow CT of appointing the Commits sioner for four-year terms, with power of dismissal. Re imbursement of the board members would be confined to

 elected president of the loca
 branch of the American Le. zion at the meeting of that organization held in Chamber of Commerce Hall last week Other officers named were Ralph Young, secretary, who succeeded D. J. Mulcare, re- 3igned, and Oren F. Hill, who was elected to the post of ser vice officer.

 Among matters of general interest discussed was a pro- posal to secure suitable head ,tones for the graves of de, ceased veterans in the local cemetary. These include the graves of Fred Dory, Samuel L. Fry, James Maddon, and Wm. Murphy.
 Discussions of the plans for the disqualification of veterans .n the Stewart hospital and local medical treatment, a con. tract which was recently auth orized by the Veterans Bur eau, constituted a prominent part of the proceedings and re- suited in a decision that certi- fled copies of veterans army and navy discharges shall be filed with the Service Officer, who will keep on file all re- cords of the members; the ob- ject being to facilitate hos utilization of members in case of need.
 The Legion meeting followed a general meeting of ex-ser- vice men, including both Le- zion members and non-mem- bers, which was attended by about Is eX-seryice men. N. M. Traversy presided and D. J. officiated as secret ary.
 The object of the meeting was to advise local veterans that they can now secure hos pitalization in the Stewart hos pital and to facilitate action in that direction by the filing of copies of discharges from he service with the service of- ficer of the local American Le- zion branch.
 It was brought out that a veteran need not be a member If the Legion to secure hos
