A HAPPY CHOICE
The retention of Glenn Rogers
as principal of the Seward schools
was a happy choice on the part of
the School board. In Mr, Rogers
Seward not only retains a splen
did educator, but one who has cast
his lot in th? industrial life of the
Territory.
During the summer vacation Mr.
Rogers, with his partner, Mr. Hol
lingsworth, labored diligently in
bringing into production a good
placer area in the Moose Pass dis
trict. In this work Mr. Rogers par
ticipated with pick and shovel and
shared all of the inconveniences
of pioneer conditions. Seward can
not have too many Glenn Rogers.
CAPITAL INTERESTS

WASHINGTON, D. C.A master
code for the entire fishing indus
try under NRA is now being formu
lated here. It is now anticipated
that public hearings on the code
will start in two weeks.
Once the master code has been
adopted, codes will be adopted for
the several divisions of the indus
try.
Expectations are that separate
forms of proposed codes will be
submitted by the large and small
salmon packers and differences be
tween them will be ironed out in
hearings.
In this connection it is hoped
that a representative or represen
tatives of workmen engaged in the
salmon packing industry will be
present at the hearings.
Where the hearings on the sal
mon code will be held is not defi
nitely known. There was some talk
that Seattle would be selected, but
no decision has been reached.

A battle waged by Southwestern \
Alaska for years has finally ended
in victory.
It is announced that commencing
next spring a Coast Guard cutter
will be assigned permanently to
Southwestern Alaska for the pro
tection of shipping in those waters.
For long it has been urged that
this step be taken, but previously
the cutter has been withdrawn
during the winter months, when
the waters along the Alaska Penin
sula and Aleutian Islands are es- i
pecially boisterous and protection
is needed perhaps more than at
any other time.
Assurance has been given Dele- j
gate Dimond that if one of the
new ships is not sent north, then j
one of the finest of the cutters j
now in commission will be.
The Delegate is especially pleased i
to have been of assistance to the {
residents of Southwestern Alaska
in this matter, as he feels that
presences of a cutter there for 12
months in the year will do much i
to prevent loss of life and will add
materially in reducing damage to
shipping.
