outline of the main events for the last
three days are given in ad on this page

going on all the time.

HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL SITUATION
Never Were Prospects Any Better for
a Winning Team at the
Local School.

Winning Team at the
Local School.
With the opening of the third week
of school the candidates for the foot
ball team at the local high school are
being put thru a little sitter drill each
afternoon. The past couple of weeks
have been devoted to preliminary
work, such as passing and kicking the
ball and taking runs to improve the
wind of the candidates. Now, how
ever, it is different and each afternoon
finds the team going thru signal
drill, using a few simple formations.
With wealth of veteran men back,
the prospects for winning combina-
tion could hardly be improved upon.
But one man, Myron Cramer, quarter
back, on last years team was lost by
graduation, altho Tim Norling who
was looked upon as sure thing In
the backfield this year, and Rock Aim,
another likely candidate have so far
failed to put in an appearance at
school. To offset their loss, Otto
Kuntz, who has had lot Of expert
ence at football, started school this
week. He will undoubtedly be used
at the fullback position and Eckie Err
ickson will be used at quarterback.
These two men with Ralph Yarrow and
Paul Holt, will make up backfeld
kh~% 1vvs1 r1yn1
for any opposition that they run up
against. Equally proficient at all kinds
of football, line bucking, end running,
and forward passing, they should pre-
sent an offense, that for variety, will
be unsurpassed by any high school
team in this part Of the state. If the
team this year don't sail thru their
schedule in good shape, then there
will be something wrong somewhere.
Lars Peterson and Harold Styles,
who held down the end positions last
season are the ikeliest looking candi-
dates for those positions at present,
while Walt Conway and Fred Daniel
son, two more veterans of last year s
team will be seen at the tackle posi-
tions. So far the only candidate for
the center position is Roy Carlson,
who played the position off and on
last year, and he will probably get the
place. At present the only positions
that are worrying the coach are the
guards. Sanford Osmundson will be
unable to play football this season,
and unless George Mcdonald comes
out for the team, the weakest places
on the whole outfit will be the guards.
However some one may turn up, and
prove just the man for the place, and
thus make the line almost invincible.
Cecil tombstone should be able to
break in somewhere and so Should Art
Limperich if he decides to come out
for the team.
At the present writing game is be-
ing scheduled with Litchfield for Sat
urday of this week but whether it will
be played here or at Litchfield is not
/ known.

 News that F. c. Elliott, of Chiea- so, former general counsel of the Company, had been slated to succeed o. l.. Dickeson, as president of the White Pass & Yukon Railroad Com pany did not cause great surprise in Alaska as Elliott by reason Of his long association with Che company was conceded to be the logical man for the place.
 News of the appointment of Herbert r. Wheeler as Yice-president and gen eral manager also has been received with favor in the North.
 Rumors were recently In circula- ton that W. 3. King had been consid- cred for the place, but in Semitic. the employees of the company predicted that Wheeler would land the position.
 Herb" Wheeler hes been with the White Pass Company for fourteen years He formerly was connected with tue Dominion Line which oper- ated the steamers Columbia, Canadian, etsft ttANAAf tAttl tAAAA kAAAaA -aA AA wheel craft on the Yukon river before the White Pas secured conttol Of that and other lines When Wheeler when with the White Pass it was o8 assistant superintendent Of the win. ter service, under Superintendent George D.

 After William Tayor who suecead- ed Scharschmidt resigned to 60 into the real estate business at Victoria. the overland winter sevioe and ihe river service were consolidated aud Wheeler was given charge ol both.
 The entrance of the White Pass to the river service in 1913 and itg pur- chase of tho Northern Navigation Company in 1914, made the water dt vision the principal feature Of the White Pass system and with the resi-
