most formidable opponent in another
season for the best quarter-milers, and
Brewer already has proved his worth by
the fact that he has been defeated this
year during the indoor season by only one
man, Joe Loomis And each time he has
run against Loomis the local boy has
given the Chicagoan more of a struggle
In the Meadowbrook games he was beaten
by not more than six inches and last
week in the A. A. U. title contest led the
field to within three feet of the tape
Maxam's work has caused an exceptional
amount of favorable comment from the
critics in and around Philadelphia, and
time after time he has stacked up against
more highly rated and more expert
enced stars with signal successes. Next
year Brewer and Maxam will be more
heard from than ever. because neither
has reached the utmost of his capabili
ties.
what generally is lost sight of, is that
Maxam and Brewer started their run
ming careers at Western High and both
were exceptional performers before
they entered st. Alban's.
It seems hardly probable that the
Analostan Club will put out a crew
this season. At least, conditions ap-
pear to be such that great difficulties
are in the way of the club being rep
resented on the water. William Boryer,
who a short while ago was elected to
the captaincy of the club, has practi-
Cally resigned Ihe position, ana last
Sunday reported for practice with the
Potomacs. 1t is stated on good au-
thority that Boryer will be a member
of one or two of the Potomac boats
this season. A member of the Analos-
tan, Club, and one of the men who have
been rowing for several seasons, stated
this morning that the prospects for
rowing at the Analostan Club appear
to be very poor and that he doubts if
the club will have representation in the
various regattas.
There seems to be a distinct opinion
among many track followers that Eby,
the University of Pennsylvania runner,
could have defeated Ted Meredith in
the 660-yard race in the Meadowbrook
games, had he SO desired. 1t was the
third victory needed by Meredith to
give him permanent possession of the
Presidents cup, a splendid trophy, and
at least one former runner who watch
ed the race gave it as his opinion that
Eby could have won had he so desired,
and that he aided materially in allow

also obtained the best game score. In
his first contest he knocked down 103

finishing ahead by comparatively
small number of pins in the third. Car

Need for More School Room.

DR.. Charles NJ. Emmons, chairman Of
the committee on sanitary affairs, re-
ported that there is great need for ad-
ditional room for school children in the
southeast section. He said he had made
inquiry and learned that from forty to
forty five children are occupying single
rooms in the schools. while the number
should not be greater than thirty. With
so many children in Il room, he said,
the sanitary condition cannot be the
best.
practically every school building in
the southeast section is overcrowded,"
he declared.
DIR. Emmons also took occasion to
speak of the failure of local street car
companies properly to ventilate their
cars. He suggested that the law
should require two ventilators to be
kept open. He also took occasion to
say he thought 40 man should be per-
mitted to operate a street car unless
he possesses knowledge of the working
of the car and is of good moral char
acter When permission to operate an
automobile is sought, he stated. the ap-
plicant has to undergo an examination

| the Valdez Dock Company, the steam ship company refused to land at the municipal dock. Shippers demanded to have their freight landed at the municipal dock, where they could secure the lower rates, but were de- nied.
 Counsel for the steamship company conceded (Hearings D. 264) that on through interstate shipments of freight over this wharf to the merchants of Valdez the commission has the juris- diction and may fix the just and req sonable wharfage rates. These rates ought to be established not higher than on the municipal dock along side and the wharfage rates at Cor dova may be taken as furnishing the items to cover. There should be a table of just a reasonable wharf rates made for both Cordova and Valdez in connection with the tariff of just and reasonable transportation rates to those ports. The wharfage at both of those places must be paid before interstate freight can be transported across the wharves. The present rates are unjust and unreasonable and should be reduced to equal the Valdez municipal rate"

ALASKAN SAYS HE WILL FLY OUT
 WITH ORE

The latest use to which an Alaskan plans putting the aircraft is the carry ing of copper ore. according to the following item which appeared in a recent issue of the Spokane Chro- nicle:
 J. M. Nelson, of Mccarthy, Alaska, is in Spokane to contract for the pur- chase of one of the Harvey-Campbell aircraft if he finds it will do the work claimed for it. He proposes to use 1t to carry molybdenite ore from his mine and to carry in supplies. The machine is the flexible dirigible type of flyer.
 This is just what I want" said Mir Nelson, eff it has the carrying capa- city claimed for it at anything like the cost suggested. Before agreeing to take one I shall probably return in the spring and see the thing fly, or I will send my partner.
 "Our property is 50 miles from Me Carthy, situated at the head of gla- cier, where it is difficult to get in and out. Such means of travel would be useful all the year, but in winter it would be especially valuable. The Spokane manufacturers say 1t will be able to carry a ton and make the trip of 50 miles in little more than an hour, at about the cost of running an automobile.
 "Molybdenite is worth about $1.60 a pound. We have a ledge about eight feet wide. with 12 inches of pure ore Our claim is called the Giant"
