George Colliflower will win a place on
the AlLSouth Atlantic basket ball team
this year. From the manner in which
the Georgetown guard has been covering
his position this season 1t would not APP
pear that there is any man in this sec
ton who can beat him out for a place on
the honor five. Certain it is that there is
no man in the south on any of the teams
who has any the advantage of the Blue
and Gray man in the position.
Although he has been out of the game
for more than year, Colliflower came
out for the Georgetown team this season,
and since the first contest in which he
appeared had done brilliant work, being
the chief factor in his teams success in
almost every game played. Collifiower
is not only a brilliant guard in the sense
that he can follow his man we'll and
keep him from making points, but it is
his all-around work on the offensive
and defensive that makes him the valu-
able man he is. There are few better
men in the country than he when it
comes to recovering the ball and getting
it out of the danger territory, and once
he gets his hands on 1t there is small
danger of his losing possession of the
leather
Collifower handles and passes the ball
almost to perfection. and is wizard at
diagnosing and breaking up plays before
they are fairly started.
Whoever selects the All-South Atlantic
basket ball team this year will have to
do whole lot of considering before he
figures George Collifiower out Of a place
on it.
Last night in the game against Dickin-
son CollihOWer played one of the most
brilliant games of basket ball ever seen
on a local court. Besides being all over
the floor on the defensive, breaking up
plays, recovering the ball and getting it
out of dangerous territory, he did SO well
on the offensive that he scored twelve of
the points tailed by the Blue and Gray
| team. 1t was an individual game almost
and was practically won by Collifower
himself.
The teamwork of the Georgetown five
was excellent, and that it was able to
defeat team of the caliber of Dickinson
is a great deal of credit to it from every
standpoint. The Blue and Gray five out
generated the Dic..Inson luint and show
ed better all-around adaptability to
the game. AS whole the Georgetown
team showed even better than it has in
any of it's other contests. The men play
ed together we'll without the least bit Of
friction. while the passing and handling
of the ball was superior to anything that
has been shown by the five in its previous
games.
If the Georgetown team continues to
improve as it has done during the past
few weeks there is no question but that

GRAND JURY HAS
 MUCH PROBING
wiII have to Return Bills on Two
 Murder Cases and Ono Dust Robbery

The Iidtarod grand jury has some work cut out for them, in- cluding two murder cases and a big gold dust robbery.
 The first murder case will be that of the Nelson brothers, who were killed by an unknown man in the Kuskokwim last summer, and over whose bodies an inquest was held short time ago. The two prOspectors met their death i'll a mysterious manner, and a long search was necessary before the grave in which the bodies had been buried by the murderer, was found. A number of witness es will be examined in this case, some of them at present residing in the KuskOkwim valley.
 The other murder case is that of Japanese Mary" who was killed by all unknown white man last winter. The woman was 0 cOurtesan and she was choked to death with the aid of a shoestring and towel. From evidence secur- ed at the time of the deed, rob b,r, is supposed to have been the motive.
 Another important matter that is to come up is the gold dust robbery case that attracted con siderable attention last fall. Two men are being held in the lower river camp as suspects in the matter. Aside from these cases there arc number of smaller cases. One from Takotna involv- ing the charge of adultery is in- cluded.

The work of rebuilding the tramway which connects Iditarod with Flat creek is being pushed with all possible speed in antic- ipatiUn of the early arrival of the drcdge material which is cn route from Dawson.
 The rpadbcd is being ballastcd and the tram rebuilt throughout to insure the successful trans fer of the heavy machinery. Many men are employed by the tram company in the repair work, and the transportation of the dredge material will keep a large force busy for a considerable time dur ing the early summer.
 In addition to the repair of the old tram, several miles of new work is being done on Flat creek in order that the freight may be landed at the point where the dredge is to be set up.

Two Conventions Likely.

Chicago, June i9.--Sam Blythe the well known political writer of the Saturday Evening Post, says that two conventions are certain, although Governor Had ley and other Roosevelt leaders wont cOuntenance such a move ment.
 CumminS leaders claim that they have i60 votes for him on the second ballot. The Taft steal of the Washington delegation is the keynote of the debate on the Hadley amendment. The Roose- welt speakers stigmatize the talk ing of the Washington vote from Roosevelt as a barefaced steal, committed knowingly and with malice, all of which was known and cOuntenanced by Taft.

U. 8. Paying Fancy Price to Fse- pair Damages Inflicted by
 San Francisco Seaiers

The Japanese diet has arrang- cd for the distribution of 1 i,I33,- $50 yen ($5G6,625), as cOmpen- satiOn for the sealers of Japan, whose industry was taken away from them by the treaty entered into by Canada, the United States, Japan and Russia for the sus- pension of pelagic sealing in the North Pacific ocean and Boring sea for term of i5 years from December i5, last.
 The British Columbia sralers, who also were deprived of their industry, have made a claim on ihe Dominion government for an amount nearly as large as that which inc Japanese government is about to distribute among it's people. The governments of Ja- pan and Canada will benefit tO the extent of several million dollars as result of the treaty, as both Canada and Japan are given a ShdI' VI iD p'I ttIi'' ctbb III tut proceeds of the fur seals taken from the Pribilof islands and a share in the Russian rookeries on CommandcrOfski islands and Canada also shares in the Japan csc rookerics. As these breeding grounds will show an increase in inc number of seals with every succeeding year the revenue will increase each year.
 The United States, under the recent treaty, advances S200,000 to Canada and a similar amount to Japan to be used in the pay ment of the compensation for the pealgic sealers of both countries.

GOOD PAY ID
 BE TAKEN OUT
Fairbanks PIacers Not Yet Work cd Out, as Evidenced by
 Now Discoveries

\ vast area of pay remains un- worked on Eva creek, despite tn" fact that about half a million will br taken out this year on two claims on inc stream, as is in- dicatPd by series of drill holes put down recently. Three holes were punched to bedrock with tho Craig g-CrookEStby drill on the Eva assoc iation, which ad.joins the Happy Home claim on the upper limit.
 The first hole showed dirt that is estimated to run $2.5O to tho square foot of bedrock. The sec ond hole, put down 50 feet to- ward the creek bed. showed rich pay, which banning tests indi- cate should average S6 to the foot. The third hole waa sunk 50 feel from the second one, and as only fair prospects were ob- tained, no more holes were nut down.
 As inc ground is largely fhawcd, il will he hard to work. but mining men agrcr that if thr values prove to br as high as demonstrated by ihc drill tests. nothing will prevent its being lifted lo tho surface. Tho first hole on the Eva is 1000 feet up- stream from last years workings on the Happy lTomr association. Fairbanks Times.

GETTING PAY
 ON OLD DOME
Continued Prospecting DsveIopa 6 New Pay Streaks Further
 Up on Beaches

From the appearance of the pay on which Henry Cook, lay man on below of Dome creek, is working, it appears that the pay will be found extending the whole length of the claim, ac- cOrding to Charles Hardin, one of the owners of the property, who Is returning. to the creek after a brief visit to Fairbanks.
 Cook at present is working out the remainder of the block of pay he was engaged upon last sea son and because of the nature of the ground he can employ but a small crew; at present it con- sists of six shOvelers. But the returns are very satisfactory, having averaged tO date S57 per day to the man.
 Cooks working are on the up- per end of the claim and adjoin, on the uphill side, those of Charley Robinson, who it secqned worked too far down the hill to be in the main run of gold and went broke as a consequence. Robinson worked the entire length of the claim out without getting into the streak Cook is handling. It now appears that the side pay of the present work ings will parallel the Robinson workings for all of the distance
 Besides being required on Dome during cleanup periods, Hardin is also busted on the di- vide between Spruce creek and Dome, where he has two men try ing 10 pick up the extension of the ledge that he staked last fall.

Eloquent Sermon Delivered.

Ilev. G. II. Havighurst delivered one
of the most eloquent and forccfuI
missionary sermons which has ever
been heard in Marion, at the Sunday
morning service at Epworth Mctho-
dist church.
The minister took for his text the
words found in Matthew, sixteenth
chapter and third verse, "Can We not
discern the signs of the times?" His
subject was "The Signs Of the Times"
He began by calling attention to the
great changes which are constantly
occurring in the worlds history. in
the religious, the scientific and the
intellectual world. lie spoke Of the
great Improvement which has been
made along the lines Of travel. The
first trolley car was run in Boston in
the year 1883, and only a few years
before that time people had sconed
at the idea of travelling by electricity
Today we marvel at the science Of
wireless telegraphy and only a few
years ago It seemed almost miracu~
lous that conversation could he car
RED ON by telephone when / was
a boy" Rev. Havghurst said. my
father once sail thai some day we
should see men flying through the
air. We laughed at the idea, and
thought such a thing impossible" The
speaker tnen mentioned the progress
which has been made along govern
mental lines. Only a few years ago
China, Russia and Turkey were alb
solute monarchs. Now. Russia and
Turkey have changed. and China is
even today in the storm and struggle
of an overthrow of This form Of gov
ornment. Everywhere, the face Of the
world Is changing, intellectually po-
iitically and spiritually, ami is grad
ually pointing the way to the marvel
Gus triumph of the GOSPEL. At the
close Of the service. a missionary col
lection was taken which was UNUSUAL
ly large.
40 the evening service thirteen pco-
pie were admitted to church member
ship.
