New York, April 11-There has been, throughout the week past, a considerable amount of selling which has tended to depress prices fairly steadily and consistently; this selling has come, in large measure, from the professional element, with out however causing any particular liquidation. The outcome has been to bring many standard stocks back to the bargain counter prices which existed with the opening of the new year. This has been recognized by not a few shrewd investors who have continued to make purchases as opportunity offered. Admitting the adverse factors with which the market has to contend, there is no

 "The conclusions reached from the st atis-ical studies are that in proportion to their respe"t.ive numbers the foreign-born com init fewer crimes than the native born; that the foreign-born ap- rroach the record of the native born most clearly in the crimes of violence, and that in crimes for personal gain the native Ecrn greatly exceeds the foreign born"

MIR. MURPHY WONDERS

Among other things, Repre- sentative Murphy wonders why the government has been appro- priating only one-third as much for the education of Alaska $ white children as for the native Indian and Eskimo schools"
 This was one of the wonders that Representative Frank Mur- phy picked up while visiting ir Alaska last summer.
 The reason that the fedora government makes appropria- tion for the education of the Tn dian and Eskimo children of thc Territory is because the poll t,cians and other citizens side step their duty and obligation 1T the education of citizen chil- dren.
 The Indian citizens have paiC a mighty fair share of the $050, coo collected by the Territory fol school taxes and in proportion tt to the amount they have paid iY they have not received an equit- able share for their edu- cation. This unfairness was re. cognized by the last Legislature hen Representative FoSt e sought in one of his bills to eIim- mate the Indian from paying tlu -sX
 The Tel1ltory maintains or' school tat We knoW of for In dian cnlldren, in the First DiVj sion and hat at Kasaan. Al the othe: schools are operated b. lthe Indian Bureau, and formerl7 by the F.reau of Education

 Forty per cent of the banks iil seven states have failed since 1920; 25 per cent of the banks in six other states failed during he same period; 10 per cent in 26 other states also went under at the same time.

A NASTY CONCLUSION

Queer, what distorted impress sions some Alaska visitors take back with them to the states. June Burn, under the heading of Puget SoundingS in ti1e Bel lingham Herald, has this to say of Petersburg:
 Petersburg is nestled in it's hills like eggs in a heron's nest, snowy mountains all about. x Petersburg struck us as some thing of a Goldsmith's deserted village goodness, hope no Pe- tersburgian ever sees this! The plank walks echoed with empti- ness. Many of the houses were empty. One long plank street built on piles winding down be- tween houses built On piling out into woods and marshland."
 True enough, there are build ings on piling along the water front in Petersburg just as in all coast towns, but if the Herald 5 scribe followed the street to where it petered out in woods and marshland" she must have gained a wonderful appetite, for the improved highway runs down to Mountain Point seven miles down the Narrows, Ca most exquisite bit of scenic high
 Way), and is being surveyed this summer to the Blind River pow CT plant. head of PeterSburg'S municipal hydro-electric sys- tenn, 14 miles out. Other high ways in process of construction.
 John Greenleaf Whittier, the beloved Quaker poet, sang: 1T hear the tread of pioneers. of nations yet to be; the first faint wash on shores where soon shall roll a human sea-" Petersburg has a winter population of 1258 pioneers Census 1930)-hardy souls with that same adventur- ous spirit that has converted the Puget Sound country from a will derness into populous enpire.
 Nestled among it's hills like eggs in a heron's nest" Peters burg nas perhaps the most per fectly landlocked harGor in Sou heast Alaska. It has cold storage plant capable of handi.- ing three million pounds Of fish pr season, and the haiihr;. to i'll it. It ships each year from 6O,C0O to 100000 cases of canned sa.mon. It boasts the largest shrimp packing plant ia the world, packing 450,000 pounds of picked meat annually. It is geographic center of the Ton gass National Forest which can produce 7OO,OO0,OO0 board feet of lumber per year in perpetuity, it is in a heavily mineralized belt and the greatest sportsmen's paradise remaining on this con- tinent. Alaska's largest mink farm is situated in West Peters burg, with 2,O00 breeding anim- als, also dozens of other mink farms, fox farms, dairy farms, etc. Ninety per cent of the fam flies own their own homes, many of them valued at five to ten thousand dollars. Bank per cap- ita deposits show Petersburg to be one of the richest towns in the country, in fact Belling- ham does not even make com
 parable showing. We seriously doubt if the aforesaid scribe can find a single empty residence or business location in the town.
 Maybe our streets did seem empty of idlers and we are not unapreciative of the compliment. We note nothing said of empty hands empty pockets or empty heads. We understand that New York and few other places have greater populations today than Petersburg, but we are sat- isfied that Petersburg has more pounds of happiness per square inch. Then too, Alaska's re- sources are being conserved for mythical future generations. Sol .,o
