HOONAH MAYOR PREDICTS GOOD FISHING SEASON The prediction that this year will be the test fishing season in two s is made by Mayor fa Doug- las of Hoonah, who is in Juneau ar- ranging for more men to work on the boats of the Icy Straits Pack- ing Company. He bases his optimis- tic report on a good showing of sal- mon in the ocean beyond Sitka and a record run of dog salmon. Douglas stated that the streams near Port Frederick are jammed with dog salmon and more are coming in. Douglas said that trouble can be expected when the pink salmon Irun begins, because the heavy run of dog salmon will prevent the pinks from entering the streams. He said that possibly the pinks will have to remain outside of the streams for a month before being able to enter to spawn and that if this happens, it will greatly affect the run two years from now.

The amount of tuition is| based upon the District’s actual| cost of educating a student. This District cost is over and above the amount paid by the Territory. The members of the Board dis- cussed at length the building needs for the School District. They censidered an overall plan to meet immediate and future needs. It was concluded that the immediate need was elementary school housing.
