Briant must ring the peg or his

most impossible to put it nearer

Briant did not answer, anxious
not to appear disagreeable to Doni

LOWER RATES FOR UTILITIES
 URGED BY FAIRBANKS COUNCIL

Reductions in heat. light, power and water rates and in telephone rates to the residents of Fairbanks by the Northern Commercial Com pany are urged by the Mayor and City Council after study and con- sideration of reports on revenues and expenditures of the utility agen- cies in the year 1885.
 Under the Territorial law, public utility companies are not allowed to make a net annual profit of more than per cent on their capital in- yestments.
 The report of the Heat, Light, Power and Water Department of the Northern Commercial Compa a ny shows an investment of $23S,O14.79 and a profit in 1885 of $13,282.62. Such profit, of course is less than the allowed per cent. The Mayor and Council, however, believe that operating expenses were figured too high and that if they are reduced to what the authorities think the figures should be a profit in excess of 8 per cent will be shown, and a decrease in rates

 Game conditions are good in the Chandalar, Mr. Nicholson told the Valdez Miner, but the district is lit- erally oyerrun with wolves Caribou are numerous and a few moose are to be found, but during the caribou run the wolves are to be found in great bands. They are very hard to kill. On Easter Sunday Mr. Mich olson saw six wolves not far from his cabin door. and the same day saw pack of eight on Hogan Pass. A nearby miner saw a pack of 13 at one time and during the spring when the snow was on the ground. went from his camp to upper Dis coyery, distance of Il miles and counted 12 carib bou carcasses, brought down by wolf packs.

BILLION ENCOURAGED BY
 RESULTS TALKEETNA DIST

O. w. Billion returned last week from Bird Creek in the Talkeetna Dis trict where he has spent the sum- mer on the quartz and placer claims which he and Mrs. Nera Coulter have staked in the past three years.
 MT. Billion, who went into the district for the first time tweny years ago, says that it is now bet ter than he has ever seen it.
 In past years the country was merely sniped over, now several big outfits are coming in and the dis trict's production is gratifying but noting to what it will certainly be in another year or two.
 The majority of the operators were handicapped by a record dry season, the rains coming too late to accomplish more than a fraction of the placer work anticipated Mr Billion this fall put down four more prospect holes from 300 to 500 feet apart and to depth of 12 feet. Pay dirt was encountered from grass roots down and he has no idea as yet at what depth bedrock lies.
 It is estimated that the Billion and Coulter placer claims will run million yards of pay dirt and at grass root values, alone Mr. Bill lion feels they have something well worth while.

It was foggy on a recent night on Tongass Narrows at Ketehikan- very foggy. c. H. Hanson. who pulls ice" in the ice-making plant of the New England Fish company has a ranch on Pennock island.

After rowing for a half ho 1T and not being able to see even the wake of the boat, he struck some thing. It was the float at the New England Fish company dock-at eX actly the spot from which he had started.

KETCHIKAN ENLARGES PLAN
 TO CARRY OWN INSURANCE

Enlarging its program of carrying it's own liability insurance, the Ketchikan city council has decided not to renew a policy covering in jury to utilities employees. The cov- craze includes only injury to per sons as a direct result of city em- ployes' actions while at work and the cost of the insurance has been more than $500 a year in the past the council was informed in a let ter from w. T. Stuart, manager of the Ketchikan Public Utilities. So far as records are available, only one claim has ever been made under that particular type of insurance. The KPU board of control recommended that the city continue to appropriate the insurance premium, setting that sum aside each year to build up a fund out of which claims may be paid.
 Earlier in the year a similar ac- tion was taken on insurance cover ing injuries to employees of the city. It is the belief of the city council and the board of control, that in view of past history the fact that virtually all employees are skilled workmen, the city can save money by carrying it's own risks.

Officials of the Alaska rail road said that the Alice was forced to tie up frequently because of unfav- orable weather and finally was caught in the ice The steamer Nen- ana reached Nenana safely. Both boats are owned by the Alaska rail road. Many Yukon and Kuskokwim river towns reported that the ice is running heavily.

Big Educational Three from Alaska, Set State Teachers
 Right On Three R's in North

SPOKANE, Wash, April 9.-Three delegates who travelled possibly the the longest distance to reach the Inland Empire Education Associa- ton convention, told interested members about education in AL aska yesterday.
 Anthony E. Karnes, Territorial Commissioner of Education; A. B. Phillips. Juneau Superintendent of Schools. and H. R. Kelly, Ketchi- kan Superintendent, consented to an interview after an Associated Press reporter broke through ring of curious educators from other parts of the northwest.
 Don't Saddle Reindeer
 There's nothing mysterious or amazing about the Alaskan school system said Karnes. Pupils don't saddle reindeer for daily trips to school, although in some sections dog teams are as common as bi- cycles in the States as a means of educational locomotion.
 Neither" he said, lis there any one-room log schoolhouse aspect to our education. We are naturally pretty proud of our schools and visi- tors to the Territory find them ev- en more perfectly equipped than schools in the States"
 EDen to HandkerchietS
 We furnish absolutely all mat erials the pupils need" Phillips said. Four departments requiring specialized equipment are fully sup piled and we furnish pupils with everything, papers and pencils and, sometives, handkerchiefs.
 "We'v got fourteen high schools in Alaska, twelve accredited ac- 'cording to standards down here,"' Kelly put in. The ninety-two grade
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-04-09

institutions are operated precisely as they are right here in Spokane '
 Expense on Territory
 Under the Alaska system, In- oians, officially made citizens in 1924 can choose either white or Native schools" Karnes said. "As a result, about 34 per cent of the stu dents in white schools are at least quarter breed Indians. The expense of educating them is borne by the Territory, although we are trying to get Federal funds for them, as is done in the States"
 Alaska Athletics
 Speaking on athletics, Kelly re- ported that in Alaska they are of necessity mainly intramural. Bask- etball. he said, is the main sport, the climate prohibiting football, al- though Ketchikan did inaugurate a touch ball league last year We are considering putting in bowling alley and establishingg that, along with basketball as the main com petitive sport" he said. Tn South east Alaska there is an Inter School Basketball League and this year teams travelled $40 miles by steam CT between Skagway and Ketchikan for the championship playoff.'
 All three said they found peculiar notions in the States about Alaska weather. AS it affects schools, this notion could stand lots of debunk- ing" Kelly said. The climate, par ticularly in Southeast Alaska, is no colder than here in the Northwest. When we left Alaska, weather and temperature were just the same as they are here right now Inland, of course. teachers sometimes report temperatures as low as seventy de- grees below zero"
