New York, June An winning the
lightweight title from Freddie Welsh,
Bonnie Leonard. local fight idol. has
conferred an honor not upon himeslf
alone but upon his home town as
we'll as his country. New York is
Leonard's home town and it is the
first time a local boy ever held the
lightweight crown. The worlds light
weight championship is also returned
to America after several years in Eng
lish possession.
Leonard is only twenty-one years
old. but the championship honors
have not turned his head. He declares
that he is going to join the army
within a very short while. He will
not 60 into vaudeville and he will tot
engage in a lost list Of set-up bouts
just to grab the easy money as many
new champions have done.
"It doesn't seem much different
being the champion than it did be-
fore" says Bonnie. Il had planned
to join the aviation service, but my
mother worried SO much about it that
l decided I would go into something
else. Perhaps when l enlist it will be
an example to q lot Of other young
fellows. I made up my mind quite q
while g that I would Join and hold
ing the title won make any differ
ence. If I can get the time off for
training, I would be glad 10 meet
Freddie Welsh again. as I know he
wants another chance. Perhaps l will
fight Kilbane. But 1 feel so much con-
fdence now that I don't believe any
Of them will be able t bother me
much"

NEW TINE CLOCK.
tAssociated Press Correspondent,

fAssociated Press Correspondence.)
London. June 5.-English children
are rejoiced by the new summer time
schedule under which the clock is
advanced one hour, but their parents
are not made 80 happy by the change.
The extra hour Of daylight comes at
the end Of the day and affords the
children an extra hour for play.
They refuse to. go to bed an hour
earlier than before the change in
time and their parents, whose days
work ends only when the children are
snuEly in bed. are in despair.
Thu educational authorities are be-
ginning to display oncern over the
resulting loss of sleep among chill
dren. Parents and teachers are COM
planning because the longer hours Of
the summer day induce the child to
steal for play the time that should
be devoted to re%cuperative slumber.
The effect IL said to be to retard
rather than. to promote the welfare
|Of pupils in the schools. The teachers
assert that the hour of sleep lost by
the children tends to dull their re-
ceptivo capacity.
The head Of one Of the largest
London schools has suggested that the
situation be remedied by advancing
the school hours during the summer
time period. so thai they will begin
at 10 q. m. and finish at 4:3O. T

If Haffer goes to jail every greasy bean that he eats will become brick for his friends to heave at those who "martyred" him. What nonsense it all is.

He is opposed to it, as is the Democratic party of Alaska. MT. SulZer 'tands for self-government in Alaska right down the line. His position and that of the Democratic party of the Terri tory and the Nation are clear on this matter They all stand for a full Ter ritorial form of government for Alas ka and the exercise of the taxing pow CT in the Territory by the people of the Territory.

JUNEAU IS

The steamer Juneau arrived in port lat II o'clock Saturday night, after having encountered the toughest kind of weather between Knowles Head and Goose island, during which she lost part of her cargo and the port side light and aerial wires were destroyed.
 Captain Jensen says that when the vessel left Latouche for Ellamar on Thursday afternoon the weather was fine. Suddenly a strong east and northeast wind sprung up which in- creased with the drifting snow and lat 10 o'clock that night he anchor ed near Goose island. It was blowing a terrific gale, with binding snow, and at II o'clock the chain cable carted. They started to heave in the chain, drifting before the wind and sea into deep water. The boat be- came manageable in the trough of the sea, causing her to reel heavily. and the cargo in number two hatch came adrift with all the equipment and was lost overheard.

CLAIMS ALASKA WILL BE
 A GREAT OIL PRODUCER

WASHINGTON-"Nobody has thot
 of Alaska as a producer of oil, yet
 the time will come, in my opinion,
 when Alaska will be supplying a
 large part of the oil used in this
 country" remarked James Larkin, |
 mining man of Valdez, who is here.
 "In the popular mind Alaska is a
 gold country first, and after that fisheries, but coal, oil, and agricul- ture will become important indus tries in Alaska before many years,
 not to speak of copper, which has
 already gone ahead of gold in the value of production. Alaska produces
 finer grade of anthracite coal than any part of this country, not except ing Pennsylvania, and the quality of it's crude petroleum is better thai,
 any on the continent, believe. When oil was selling in California two or
 three years ago for 30 cents bar rel, the Alaska oil was bringing $2.60. It is the finest grade of parafine base oil, and some of the crude oil is almost pure gasoline. For lubricant lit is perhaps superior to any pro. duced in the world.
 "The agricultural possibilities of Alaska are unlimited. It is not too
 cold to raise almost any sort of crop in the growing season. AS fine a quality of wheat as I ever saw has
 been grown there. Fruits of all kinds flourish. I do not think I ever tasted finer strawberries than those raised ir Alaska. The most delicate flowers
 will grow and all sorts of vegetables thrive.
 Prohibition, which was carried in the recent election, I believe will prove a good thing for the Territory. I am opposed to prohibition on gen. eral principles, but in Alaska under present conditions of labor 1 think it will materially improve the situa- tion. Labor is scarce enough and we
 can i'll afford to lose any part of it at any time"

IT is stated that United States Mar. shal E. R. Jordan, of Nome, was an ardent supporter of Wickersham and the Republican candidates, and that
 through his labors and those of his deputies the Second division rolled up a large vote for the Delegate. We are not surprised if investigation
 of the statement would prove this to
 be the truth. Throughout the terri
 tory, in numberless instances, it seems that men appointed to offices by ia Democratic administration. have
 abandoned the party which feeds them and cast in their lot with their op- ponents It is too bad that such d state of affairs exists in politics. The man who receives an office from the Democrats and works against the Democratic party should be prosecut- ed for obtaining money under false pretenses He is promising some thing that he is not delivering-hi! support to the party which gives him his job.

 job from either the Democratic or

It is un- derstood several departments of the government arc giving the suggestion their earnest consideration.
 Send the Roosevelt II. to the Ant arctic" Peary said, "and those thousands of miles of frozen w.ste may bring forth untold wealth" Peary said he would not attempt the expedition himself, but he recom- mended that Capt.
