Institute Will Open In
Fail With rs Pupils

Wrangell Institute at Shoemaker
Bay will open in the fall, according
to N. Lester Troast of the office OF
Indian Affairs, with rs pupils in
grades from the sixth through to
the tenth.
A staff will be employed consist
ing of a director, girls matron,
boys supervisor, four teachers and
kitchen supervisor. Recommen-
dations for these positions have
been forwarded to Washington, but
with the exception of Mrs. Mabel
Borland who has been engaged as
girls matron, no contracts have
been drawn to date.
Literally hundreds of letters
from senators and influential poll
ticians, said Mr.. Troast, have pour
ed into the office, urging appoint
ment of various applicants for posi-
tions at Shoemaker Bay. These ap-
plications together with those with
out political backing have run the
number of applicants for the school
during the past year, to well over
thousand. Manifestly, with but
nine positions to fill this year, some
of the applications must be re-
jected.
Mr.. Troast emphasized the fact
that political backing had nothing
whatever to do with staff appoint
ments. Selections are based on in
dividual qualifications for the par
ticular job.

TORTURE
INTERIOR SOURDOUGH

Workers in Loranger Bros. camp
on Willow Greek in the Iditarod
district were startled recently when
Al WEIGH, old-time Alaskan burst
in upon them stark naked and COW
cred with mosquitoes. He was in
half-crazed condition and ran bab-
bling to them for help. His plight
was caused by fall into Bonanza
Greek, he explained later. Desiring
to dry his clothes, he had built a
fire and while they were drying,
he went bathing in the stream. A
spark ignited the clothing and
burned it completely and the mos
quitoes which were at their worst
just at that time caused the ter
rible torture which nearly madden
ed him.

NEWS FROM
ALL OVER
THE WORLD
SEAWAY WILL OPEN RIVER
PORTS TO OCEAN COMMERCE.

WASHINGTON - By a treaty
agreement, the United States and
Canada will construct the $500, 900
900 st. Lawrence Seaway which will
open all ports on the St. Lawrence
river to ocean commerce. Secretary
Stimson signed the treaty for the
United States and Minister Her.
ridge for Canada.
The gigantic project will take
eight years and will develop the St.
Lawrence from Montreal to Ontario
making it possible for ocean-going
ships to make their way to the
heart of the continent. At the same
time up to 100000 horse power
electrical energy will be divided by
American and Canadian sections
bordering on the waterway.
The agreement cannot go into eff
feet until ratified by the legisla-
tive bodies of the two countries
concerned.

POOL HALL
IS SEIZED
AFTER RAID

The Olympic PooI Han was put
completely out of business in Ju
neau recently when the Department
OF Justice Investigators raided it
and took over lock, stock and bar
rel, including, according to reports,
about 70 pints OF moonshine. George
Strbac was arrested and charged
with violation of the National Pro-
hibition Act.
A recent decision by the Supreme
Court of Montana influenced the
seizure of the establishment In that
particular case, the Fedearl Court
held that the stock and fixtures
were subject to seizure and libel
under the Internal Revenue act
where the place raided was shown
to have violated the Prohibition
statutes repeatedly. The Juneau case
is the first case in the Territory
where this procedure was followed,
libel proceedings having been in
stituted against cigars, tobacco and
other stock and furniture and fix
lures OF the Olympic Pool Hall.

Herring Tagging Will
Determine Routes OF
S. E. Alaska Travel

Thousands of herring. 10000 if
possible, will be tagged this season
to determine their routes of travel
in Southeast Alaska waters by G. F.
Rounsefell, Junior Aquatic Biolo-
gist on the Scientific Staff of the
U. S. Bureau of Fisheries and Edwin
J. Dahlgren. They are working in
Chatham straits.
The tagging of salmon has been
successfully conducted in these
waters in past years and was valu-
able to indicate the main migration
routes of salmon runs. 1t is expect
ed that the tagging of herring will
prove equally valuable.
Mr.. Rounsefell, with Mr.. Dahl
gren assisting most of the time, has
been studying the herring fisheries
in Southeast Alaska for a number
of years. The findings are published
from time to time and have been
used by the Bureau as a basis for
the regulations under which the
herring packing and reduction in
dustries are operated.

Red Salmon Run Too
Large For Canneries
In Bristol Bay Area

A red salmon run in the Bristol
Bay area that is almost unprece-
dented, is making it necessary for
packers to lay off boats, and to
place a limit on each operating
fishing boat to enable them to han
die the fish as it comes to the
plants, according to word from that
district.
The total pack of fish up to July
9 was 913,975 cases of which 80
per cent was red salmon, the re-
mainder being pinks and chums.
The run was good all through the
season and the escapemennt to the
spawning grounds good, also, ac-
cording to United States Bureau of
Fisheries Agent. Dennis VIM The
Pacific American Fisheries is re-
ported to have filled all available
cans and to have quit for the year.
Other red packs of note are re-
ported from both sides of the Alas
M SAlS lin anu
About 100000 cases had been pack
ed at the end of the first week in
July on the south side of the Alaska
Peninsula and over $4,000 cases on
the north side. Chignik had more
than $4,000 and Karluk in excess
of $4,000 cases.
Statistics compiled at the Ju-
neau headquarters of the Bureau
show that the red pack had gone
to 1,273,245 cases, not including
any of the Kodiak Island canneries
by July 9. The chum pack was
given as 1904 cases, mostly from
Southeast Alaska districts, while
pinks had made no particular show
ing in either Prince William Sound
or Southeast Alaska. The Ketchi-
kan district was credited with
5,113 cases. On July Is, the Pan
handle pack aggregated 120,986
cases.

HARDING UPHOLDS TAX
NONRESIDENT TROLLERS

In the case of Wood Freeman,
Seattle troller, to determine the val
idity of the nonresident troller's
tax, pending since 1929, Judge
Harding has upheld the $3.50. tax
and dismissed the suit against the
Territory to prevent it's collection.
H. l.. Faulkner, attorney for Free
man, has announced that an appeal
will be taken again. In a former
appeal, the Circuit Court of APP
peals declined to sustain Judge
Harding on a ruling on a demurrer
that sustained the validity of the
tax.
Freeman contended that the av-
erage earnings of the troller are
not over $500 for the season and
that the $3.50 tax imposed by the
Legislature Is prohibitive and in
contravention of the White Fish
cries law. Testimony was offered
to, show his earnings and those Of
other trollers in support of his con-
tention. Contradictory evidence was
submitted by witnesses for the Ter
ritory.
Judge Harding feels that where
statistics are not available the aver
age earnings cannot be determined,
that the Court could not presume
facts in the plaintiffs favor, and
that the plaintiff had failed to prove
that the average earnings of trollers
are such that the tax imposed on
non-residents, in relation to the
earnings. amounted to prohibition
of his right to fish in Alaskan
waters-"

Escaped Prisoner
Caught At Mud Bay

Edward Haynes, who escaped
nearly a month ago, was captured
last Friday at Mud Bay, near Ketch-
ikan, by William Caswell and Jack
Coble, United States Deputy Mar
shals, and was taken to Juneau on
the Rogers by Mr.. Caswell.
Haynes was serving a six-months
sentence ON a charge of violating
the game laws and was awaiting
action from the Grand Jury on a
larceny charge when he escaped
from Petersburg. According to the
story he told the arresting officers,
he had stolen a boat at Petersburg
and rowed to Mud Bay, a distance
of about 140 miles. During the time
he was travelling, two violent
storms which damaged traps and
boats, ragged but Haynes said he
followed the shore closely so he
could hole up when necessary. His
greatest difficulty was getting suf-
liClChI IOOu, ne Sdlu.
The arrest at Mud Bay followed
a tip sent from Wrangell by Deputy
Marshal Campbell who wired that
a man left here July s, in a Ia
foot boat, who had given his name
as Miller and who might be the
fugitive sought by the Federal Of
ficers. The description of the boat
was given fully and the Ketchikan
officers began a search of the water
front at once. The boat was located
in a lagoon near Mud Bay and the
man in a house nearby. Answering
to the description given, his arrest
followed, and he is said to have
told the entire story of his escape
at the Federal jail.
While in Wrangell, Miller, or
Haynes, said he was going to Lor-
ing or Canada. In Mud Bay he
had sought work for his meals say
ing he was a trapper from Juneau
and that after resting up he would
head for the Canadian border.
Haynes is the fourth Federal
prisoner to escape from jails in
the First Division in the past five
years and all have been re-captured

Ketchikan Protests
NONRESIDENT Labor

JUNEAU-Protesting against the
use of any except resident labor on
road work planned in that vicinity
this season, the Ketchikan Chamber
of Commerce has wired Gov. Parks,
{. II. Flory, ex-officio Commission
er in Alaska for the Department of
Commerce, and NJ. d. Williams, Dis
trict Engineer, United States Bureau
of Public Roads, asking them to
take whatever steps are necessary
to prevent any such employment
Mr.. Flory and Mr.. Williams, af-
ter comforting with Gov. Parks, left
on the steamer Aleutian for Ketch-
ikan to discuss the matter with the
Chamber of Commerce. All of them
admit that there is no legal method
by which labor can be restricted to
local residents.
Hands Are Tied
Our hands are absolutely tied
so far as this matter is concerned"
Mr. Williams explained. I'VE can
and are requiring contractors to
specify the minimum wage scale to
be paid on any project on which
they submit bids. We can and will
regulate sub-contracts to station
men. No station contract, in the
future can be let by any con-
tractors until and unless it has been
first approved by the Bureau of
Public Roads. But the law is
specific regarding bids and the
rights of bidders.
I'VE are required to call for bids
where the estimates of construc-
rlon costs are $4,000 or more. Any
person or corporation which can
make a proper financial showing
and post the required bond, is en-
titled to bid. We cannot even re-
fuse to accept the bids of aliens.
THE successful bidder, if he
meets the specifications for the
project, can hire his wn labor to
suit his own convenience and there
is nothing We can do to require
preference be given to local people
We realize the need that exists in
