never was any great mystery to the
Tigers but this season he has pitched
10 innings In four different games

"Shawkey has been a great help to
Bill Donovan in the defensive way.
on six different occasions he has

HICKMAN WANTS LOCAL CARE
 FOR INSANE

"When the Territorial legisla- ture meets next March there wll be s75O,OO in the Treasury depart- ment at Juneau," said J. R. Heck man to a group of his constituents in this city, when speaking about the additional revenue received by a fisheries tax which MT. Heck man framed and had Introduced in to- the Territorial legislature. "I am heartily in favor of a reason able portion of that money being appropriated for the erection and maintenance of a Sanatarium in AL aska so that those unfor6uhateS who become insane or partially de- mAnted may receive the proper care and treatment in this country. I believe that the Insane of Alaska are subject to grossly unjust treat ment by not being taken care of Ill the Territory. Such an institution would have a tendency to stop the raiIroading of many people who are not insane into outside sanatarums where theeir near relatives and friends have little or no opportunity to see them or watch their pro- gress. There is no reason In the world why an Alaskan Institution should not be maintained for this purpose. I shall work for 1t 1t elected" was his remarks.
 Another issue upon which am waging my campaign and one which l am making fight on IS the adoption of a proper community property law. The law as it now stands gives the wife only a dow CT interest of a third of her nus bands property. That law is not just 1t does not endowl woman with her proper status. Estates by the dower and courtesy should be wiped off the statute books and more modern and up to date coIn- munity property laws should be embodied in the Territorial laws said MT. HecEman. The color arose in, his face and he became in dignant with the treatment which women have been receiving .. under the rrsnt laws. ......
 Mir. Heckman took a .desided stand on the fisheries question. It was his opinion that the big can neries, the ones which are reaping the benfit from the fish! should be made to establish hatcheries and do all within their power to keep the supply from running short "Tbat does not mean that ] do not favor government scientific re- (Continued on page 4.)
