BIG MOTOR BOAT CRUISE
WILL START FROM DETROIT
Details Announced For the Combined
Pleasure Trip and Reliability

Details announces FOR the combined
Pleasure Trip and Reliability
Trial For Scripps Cup.
The current number OF The Pilot, "
the official organ of the Detroit Motor
Boat club. gives some interesting in
formation regarding the seven hun
dred and fifty-mile cruise and reliable
ity run which will probably be started
from Detroit, next season. The Idea
was conceived by w. +. Scripps, Com
modore of the Detroit Motor Boat
Club, who has offered perpetual
trophy, to cost not less than $4,000,
nor more than $4,000. The cruise Is
to be an annual affair, and once in
Ave years will start at Detroit, other
years at points designated by the
League.
The entries will be OF the cruiser
type, divided into three classes, ac-
cording to speed. Power plants will
be sealed and under supervision OF
representatives OF the committee. one
OF whom will be on each boat. II Is
proposed that the average run Will
be not more than seventy-five miles
per day, which will terminate the
cruise in ten days to two weeks
time. during which many social fea-
lures will be INDUCED in, made pos
sible by the character OF the trips.
Entries will be accepted from all
members of duly organized power
boat clubs, and cruise will be con-
fined to the Great Lakes and trlou-
tary waters, and start of cruise will
be about the middle OF August OF each
year.
Committee on rules is as follows:
ID. III. Lewis, b. l.. c., chairman; +.
r. Still, ID. M. b. c.; w. r. Bieling,
Rudder; Robert f. Powers, Power
Boating; Herbert l. Stone, Yachting;
w. T. Otis. Pacific Motor Boat; Z. W.
Johnston, Canadian Motor Boat; w.
b. Rogers, Jr. Motor Boat.
The cruise is to be held under the
auspices OF the Great Lakes Power
Boat League, terminating where the
league are holding their annual three
days meet; thus adding an attractive
feature to what will undoubtedly be
novel, interesting and instructive
aquatic event on Great Lakes waters.

To Have in Order Named.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Hugh Mcln-
tosh and Jimmy Britt. who are pro-
noting fights In London and Aus
tralia, have decided to give Al Kauf-
man the chance of his life; match
with the winner of the Langford-Lang
battle in London on Feb. Is. Mcln-
tosh and Britt would like to have Jack
Johnson meet the winner OF the Lang
ford-Lang bout and they are said TO
have cabled the champion an offer OF
$4,000. Johnson, however, hasn't
shown any eagerness TO engage In a
real battle since his defeat OF Jeffries
and Il is assumed that Kaufman can
get the engagement II he wants IT..
The purse offered for a fight with
Kaufman on one end OF IL has not
been made known.
Abe Attell, who recently broke his
arm in a fight with Kilbane, has been
offered a match with Jem. Driscoll.
for the latter part Of March. He
will not be able to accept this date, as
il is certain his arm will not be In
shape for such an early fight.
SCRANTON, Pa, Feb. 3.-'We ex-
pect any day now TO close with Jack
Johnson for battle for the heavy
weight championship Of the world, SO
I prefer to delay action on Mclntosh's
offer for bout with the winner OF
the Langford-Lang bout"
This was the answer given today by
Barney Gerard, in behalf OF Al. Kauf-
man with the winner OF the Langford-
Lang fight, to be pulled of in London,
Feb. Is.
kaufman has whipped Lang, and
Langford has sidestepped matches
with him, SO | see no reason why he
should chase the winner Of that fight
to Europe. What we are after is
match with Johnson, and II Will be
made to a certainty within very

ChandIar Quartz
 Is Looking Good

According to Fred John Date, who recently returned to Fairbanks from the Chandlar country, where he had been experimenting the construction of the new government trail from Beaver to Caro, the outlook for the Chandlar is very promising, and he pre- diets that within the next season or two considerable stampede to that locality will take place.
 "Why," said Mr. Date to a newspa- per representative, If the Chandlar were CD the Outside there would have been the biggest kind of a stampede there on the showing that has already been made in a quartz way" Because of the isolation of the district, however, and the little information which drifts out among other camps, the people ot the interior take little interest in it.
 The new road into the Chandlar, which is I15 miles in length, was con- structed last sumner at a cost of $13.- GOO, and will appreciably hasten the development of the district.

SAYS ALASKA INDIANS
 ARE SURELY DOOMED

Speaking of the present condition of the Alaska Indians, Archdeacon Stuck says that the amount of disease which prevails among them is deplorable. He attributes this in a great measure to the hootch peddlers on the Yukon and thinks that drastic measures should be taken to stamp out the business. The mortality among the Indians is shock ing, and in the opinion of the Arch deacon it is only a question of time when they will become extinct. There is absolutely no hope for them.
 Archdeacon Stuck thinks that this is regrettable, the more so as there is no economic reason why the Indian should go, as was the case with the Indians of the plains. Mir. Stuck does not believe that there will ever be any great de- mand for farming land in the interior of Alaska He says that the talk about Hand waiting for the blow" is stuff and nonsense to anyone who has s tudled the matter, and understands conditions.
