(By The Associated Press) Bombs, bullets and roaring made a shambles of large sections of the Chinese quarters of Shanghai when Japan's naval fighters tried to burst open Ythis door to the ‘treasure house of Chi- nese trade. It was a struggle to squelch by rce of arms racial antipathies growing out of military action in e Manchurian trade war. Thesa antipathies developed from a great wealth destroying boycott of Japa- |nese goods and enterprises which threatened ruin to many a Nippon- | ese corporation and firm. Shanghai, one of the original five ‘treaty ports” which Great Britain | forced upon China after the “opium war” of 1842, has grown until it has become the key to commerce with nearly half of Cathay's 400,- 000,000 people. Sheltered with its international settlement, Japanese, British, Ger- man and French business concerns, {and those of many another nation, have brought to its docks and ware- houses the cotton goods, machin- ery, oils and concomitant commodi- ties which the ancient land lacked and began to need as it came into contact with the western world.

'Whether or not is decidés to do this, Com- misisoner Keller recommended the additions to the library and lab- oratory as both are lacking in cer- tain essentials. ‘At Goddard Mr. Keller met with the district schoo lboard, arranged boundaries for the mew district to embrace a number of families not included in the old one, and the new plan was given unanimous ap- proval. At Port Alexander about 100 persons are residing this winter, and it is expected more will be there next year. The present school enrollment is 10 and between 15 and 18 are indicated for next year, The comunity is preparing to ask for a school site reservation to be made as townlots are being rapidly taken up. The school there now uses a rented building. Much Game Seen A large number of deer were seen on the beaches by Mr. Keller, sil aparently in good condition dos- pite the heavy snow. He heard no reports of famine in the herds. Ly Port Althorp, the watehman a3 the Alaska Pacific Salmon Corpor- ation’s cannery, has been cutting trees for forage for deer in that vicinity. He reported the animails somewhat weakened by limited food supplies, but said nothing of any starvation. Mr. Keller made the trip on the Ventura, Capt. George Baggen.
