From that date until he arrived In De-

With all the talk OF increased outputs

interesting fact remains that the demand
and tho field Of the high priced car stu
holds its position In the markets.
1t is now an assured fact that there
will be a very decided shortage OF high
priced cars for months to come. with
the exception OF two or possibly three
makers ~ the highest priced ears of
limited outputs, other manufacturers
have directed their attention to the me

MANY L|GHTs ARE PLACED
 IN ALASKA

The report of the department of commerce shows that during the past season forty-six aids to navigation were placed in Alaska waters, and five more are contemplated before the cessation of work for the winter. In addition good progress was made on the new light and fog signal Station at Cape St. Elias on Kayak island, which will be placed in commission next season.
 Thirty-two flash acetylene lights were placed at so many different points.
 An electric light was placed at Sitka harbor; float on Blunt Point reef in Wrangel strait; an oil lens lantern at Tenakee, in Chatham strait; post lights at Beck island in Clarence strait, Rose inlet; in Tvelak strait, and Akutan harbor. in the Aleutian islands; beacons on the Fish Creek dolphin, in Tongass narrows; False point retreat, in Lynn Canal; Deep Bay entrance, at Pearl strait, and Priest Rock, in Unalaska Bay.
 Good progress was also made" says the report, "in the construction of the new light and fog signal sta tion at Cape St. Elias, on Kayak is land. The Illuminating and fog signal apparatus have been on exhibition at the Panama-Pacific International ex- position at San Francisco, and will soon be dismantled and taken to Alaska for installation next season. The construction party, with the ex- ception of a few men as watchmen and caretakers, left the Cape on Oc- tober ', having completed during the season all reinforced concrete work in the tower, fog signal, storage build ing and dwelling, except the first floor slab of a dwelling and a portion of the floor in the oil room. With favorable weather and labor condi- tions the station will probably be placed in commission during the sea son of 1916.

country and unfair. That a greater proportion of athletes are in the east near the centers of population is not denied, but that the Atlantic seaboard should be selected instead of some central states point, is deemed unjust.
 That the New York and Philadel- phia athlete would think twice before going to Europe every year to play for a title is unquestioned. Yet Mc- Loughlin and Johnston of San Fran cisco, in order to defend their tennis honors, are required, year after year, to make a journey longer than the sea voyage, requires about the same length of time to make, and Is quite as expensive. To the new and untried aspirant for honors the conditions practically are prohibitive. An hour or two and a dollar or two is all the AlldilllN NOdol pldSCl "llO NtthtS IO try his fortune has to have at his dis posal under present conditions, it is pointed out.
 The argument is applicable in all lines of amateur sport championships which presumably are open to the na- tiOn's athletes. The question is not raised in the case of an event such as the boat race held by the college crews on the Hudson river, which is an annual affair, belonging to the competing crews, as the annual boat race on the Thames between the eights of Yale and Harvard is theirs. It is where a national or an open title is to be competed for such as an Amateur Athletic Union event that the far western athlete feels that time, distance and expense are all against them, elements with which the east ern athlete does not have to contend.

AMATEUR SPORT
 LIN PACIFIC COAST

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6. - While the great war has precluded any in ternational competition, the past year generally is considered to have been a banner one for the amateurs throughout the United States, and particularly for the Pacific coast, due to the Panama Pacific Exposition. Thanks to the big fair. greater num- Der of high class national performers have visited the coast than at any other time in the history of its ath- Ietics.
 That this has given the coast a tre- mendous impetus in amateur athletics in all branches is the concensus of opinion. and the result of the national championships held in the exposition stadium last summer has pretty thor oughiy convinced all hands that the coast athletes must be reckoned with. His performances compared favor ably with those of his eastern breth- fen.
 The Pacifi ccoaet has been well represented in the roll of national and worlds champions by such names as Mclaughlin, Johnston, Horine Bee son, Drew. Kelly and others, and there are many who think that this list would have been augmented had more championship events been held with fin reasonable reaching distance. The east practically has had a monopoly of them. It costs both time and money to get them from here. The acquisition Of the national tennis title is a shinins example of this.
 This brings up the oft discussed subject of the fairness of holding the championship competitions where athletes from all parts of the country will have a reasonably equal chance of reaching them in order to partici- pate. To hold the tennis champion ships, for example, year after year, on the edge of the Atlantic, is con- sidered by many on the Pacific coast a manifest hardship to the rest of the

NORWAY \ MECCA FOR SKILLED
 LABORERS

CHRISTIANIA, Jan. 6. - The Scan- dinavian countries lately have been canvassed by agents from foreign countries trying to engage skilled la borers. especially for the manufacture of ammunition and saddlers. The re suit has not been very remarkable, as opportunities for skilled laborers at home are greater than ever. Only few iron workers have left Norway for England to work in ammunition plants during the past six months.
 The good labor conditions here will also affect the emigration to the United States-which is expected to be much smaller this year than in former years.
