 OF lE,CARTHY SCHOOL


 Writing to Gov. J. p. A. Strong from Valdez under date of March g. of the visit of Judge Fred N. Brown, and other officials of the Third Division to Mccarthy, at which time several community difficulties were straight- ened out. and a school district formed, an account Of which was given by the Empire several days ago, Arthur Lang, clerk or Judge Browns Court, says:
 "All of the officers of the court hav- ing been called to Mccarthy Alaska, toi investigate certain matters then before the court. and while there Judge Brown and myself investigated the Mccarthy school matter thorough iy and adjusted same The trouble lay in the fact that the starting point of the present Blackburn school dis rict was very indefinite. We had to make 9 definite place for the starting point oi the Blackburn school district; in the description 1t had been desig- mated at the mouth Of NcCarthy creek as the initial point The creek breaks into several channels where 1t empdes into Keunecott river In 1908 D.

Should Jack Johnson succeed in de. feating Jess Willard, he win have nc complained a feat that has not been eQualled In ring history, says a promi- nent sport writer The nearest ap- proach to 1t was when Bob Fitzsim- mons. at the age Of 95. conquered Jim Corbett at Carson City.
 Whatever may be said against Will lard 1t is fact that he is the best white heavyweight that has come to the front during Che past 10 years. Yet supposedly dissipated negro at the age Of S7 is picked to beat him On the face Of 1t there must be some thing wrong with such conclusion.
 "In order to win Johnson must per form what past p0gilistic history has shown is the nature of miracle. With the exception of Fitz, who was consid- cred a freak, no ring champion since the time Of Sullivan has been able to defend his title at the age of g. and even Fitz met his defeat at that age. Today there is not first-class man in any division as old as Johnson, or even near his age"
