 The Fairbanks Fire department said that as yet the cause of the fire was undetermined, but that it was possible short in the wiring was the origin since the blaze be- gan in the roof
 An advertisement for the club appears in the back section of to- days paper due to the fact that this part of the edition came off the press before the fire.

'Caught in the Riff1es' ;
By V. Maurice Smith

The realistic solution to the prob- lem of the Alaska Native people is to leave them alone, said William |. Paul, president of the Alaska Native Brotherhood who is visit ing Fairbanks this week with his sister. Mrs. George Sheppard.
 These people, Paul said, should be left to live the life for which they are trained. The idea that a people can be transplanted is ri- diculouS, he believes.
 Since. at the present time. the principal income in many of the villages is the relief check, the problem of economics rears it's head.
 Paul would establish registered .traplines, something that has been kicked around for many years and is in actual use in the Canadian Yukon.
 He would avoid reservations but urges natives to take allotments of land before the most desirable places are taken. Paul used a diff ferent word, pre-empted, which is understandable since he has been fighting for Indian rights most of his life.
 There still would be a need for federal aid but this should be kept to minimum. He adds that this would be possible if agents were appointed who would devote enough time and energy to get job done

School To Open Tuesday; Details Of Split Shift And Bus Schedules Outlined

After mulllng over pre-registra- tion figures for the past. eight days, Dr. James C. Ryan, superintendent of Fairbanks schools, today made known the complete details of the opening of school September 4.
 We are painfully aware of the inconvenience, difficulties. and dis advantages of the double shift,'' Dr. Ryan stated Under the pres ent circumstances, however. there seems to be no alternative We are trying to work out schedule that will work best for the greatest number of pupils and parents, and to avoid as many inconveniences and disadvantages as possible. Par ents have been as. d to express a preference for the morning or afternoon shift. and. as far as pos sible, we will honor the preferences expressed" Probably a few classes in several schools will be on shift. The schools will open Tuesday, September I, the day after Labor Day. In last weeks pre-registration 2,493 elementary pupils and 561 high school pupils. total of 3,054 stu dents. enrolled, setting an all time high registration record.
 Stated Dr. Ryan In report to the press, Approximately 10 per cent more pupils have registered than have ever attended the Fair banks Public schools before, afd we estimate that pre-registration figures are only about 90 per cent complete
 The Lathrop high school will ac- commodate the 500 high school pu- pills expected reasonably well, but the elementary grades are faced with a different problem: With only 87 classrooms for the entire eIe- mentary school. double shift for some cannot be avoided.
 High School
 The high school will open in the Lathrop high school building on Airport road at 9 am. Tuesday on a single shift basis. All high school students should report to the gym nasium at that time.
 All eighth grade pupils will at- tend the Main elementary school on Cushman street Whether or not the eighth grade will be on doub- le shift will be determined by the enrolment Students will be ad- vised of the program at am. Tues- day.
 Main Elementary School

Mr.. Willett said he told the
attorney he would suspend the
fine temporarily if Granger paid
it later or served the sentence.
He said the city sergeant did not
talk to him about the case until
after Granger had been operated
on at the city's expense.
Mr.. Willett said that. while
he did not know it at the time,
court records show he had no
further jurisdiction over the
case when he talked to the at
torney because the case had al
ready been appealed to the
Corporation Court.
Mr.. Willett also noted that the
expenses involved were approx
mately $457 and not S1,190 as
first reported by the city

that the upper county is out

the other counties of the State
have remained fairly constant
since the 1858 study except in

has been a sharp increase.
Lack Of uniformity in assess
