Selling lessened after the first hour and.a number of shares ral- lied from one to four points. Rails generally were higher. Un- ion Pacific, Pennsylvania, Santa Fe were up two points. Westinghouse rose two points. A gain of one point or so ap- peared for United States Steel,; American Telephone and Tele-! graph, International Harvester and United Aircraft. Losses of some of the leaders were quickly erased. Copper continued firm with stock steady. Market activity in Eastern rails was accompanied by gossip regard- ing completion of the merger of the bigger lines. In some quarters, fairly well informed, the view was expressed that the gossip is too optimistic.

INQUIRY TREND, UPWARD, LOCAL CHAMBER HEARS Interest in Juneau Throughout Country Shows Increase Each year interest in Juneau and vicinity erhibited by other parts| of the country shows e healthy | growth, the Chamber of Commerce | was told today by its secretary, H. Walmsley. This is evi- denced bs the increase every year in the inquiries that are received; by the Chamber. During the entire year of 1981, there were 1,732 inquiries received. Up to date this year, the total re- ceived numbered 1,755, or more than for all cf last year, he said. Many From Sportsmen The increase in requests from sportsmen for information on fkunting and fishing opportunities here was one of the most notable for this year. Many letters were | oi schools from all parts of the United Stites. Among the busi- ness inquiries have come requests for date on Alaska products and in some instances these have led to new Lusiness. One such was an inquiry sometime ago from a South |American firm that was referred tc salm-r. canners and resulted in the sale of that product for the first time in that particular lo- cality. One of the inquiries, of 34 re- ceived Jast week, was from the French trade commissioner, locat- ed at San Francisco, asking for informatisa aebout commodities produced by ‘Alaskan industries that t be sold in France. llege Staff Guests The jeaching staff of the new- Iv estaplished Juneau Business Col- |lege, fincluding Charles L.

From Hyder to Point Barrow, they will bundle up their text books and re-enrol for another year of progress on the road to education. And i1 the Territory, in striking coentrast to virtually every other section of the country and prob- ably the world, they will go back to work under normal educational conditions; to 'schools that' have not been curtailed in either dura- tion or scope of curricula; o teachers whose salaries jjave not been reduced; and whose pay is forthcoming at the end of every month. The Thousand Pupils School days are back again for scme 10,600 pupils who will enroll in the Territorial Public School System and the Government schools under the direction of the Alaska Division of the Indian Service. The two combined operate 104 scnools, mostly day schools, with a few boarding institutions under the Indian Service. The teaching staffs of uoth number 500 in- structors. To defray all of the costs of the two systems will require more than $1,150,000 for the ensuing nine months. Part of this comes from municipal treasuries, part from Territorial appropriations and part from the Federal treasury. Only funds for the Indian Service schools come from the last source. Territorial System The Territonial school system has three classes of institutions numbering altogéther 90. There are 17 iz municipalities or incor- porated districts which derive from 70 to 80 per cent of their revenues from the Territory and the rest locally. Toere are 84 rural schools and nine special schools, the ex- penses of which are defrayed en- tirely by the Territory. In the institutions of the first class there are employed 168 teachers and the cnrolment estimated on the basis of those of previous years is plac- ed at 3800. In the 64 rural |schools and nine special schools 90 instructors will be engaged in teaching approximately 1,820 pu- R CONFERENCE OF 19 GOVERNORS. ¢ Meeting to Discuss Si tion Will Be Held i Sioux City AIR OF TENSENESS fwo Clashes—ii—eported’ tween Pickets and Driy ers of Auto Trucks DES MOINES, Iowa, Sept. 1- The farmers' war for high psices has officially been suspended f nine days but an air of tenseness still hung over the affected mid- west.
