 ALASKA
V (By Associated Pressl

SAN FRANCISCO, March 16. A tentative program of the great Seat. tie water carnival to take place on July 5, 6 and 2, has been prepared and plans rapidly are maturing All manner of craft from every section of the country will be invited to par ticipate. The feature will be an Alas kan cruise, the fleet to depart from Seattle on July 7, the last day of the racing carnival. This cruise is said to be the longest ever attempted by a combined flotilla of pleasure craft The entire program is in the hands of the Seattle Yacht Club.
 Among the events listed are cruises through the Lake Washington canal On Lake Union, Lake Washington and the sound there will be warship, hy- droaeroplane and submarine maneuv- CTS; speed boat racing for cash prizes, races between airplanes and speed boats; sailboat races for the Sir Tho mas Lipton trophy between boats from European and American yacht clubs against the Sir Tom, the Seattle boat, at present holder of the trophy, and many other events.
 The first challenge for the Sir Thomas Lipton cup has been received. It comes from Captain Fritz Olsen, Jr., of Christiania, Norway. His boat will be shipped to Puget sound. The deed of gift of the Sir Thomas Lip ton trophy bars any boat not mem- Der of a Puget Sound or Pacific coast yacht club. Captain Olsen plans enter ing his boat under the colors of an eli gible American yacht club.
 For the accommodation of those pre- sent who do not care to brave the long Alaska cruise on the smaller pleasure craft reservations will be taken on a large excursion steamer, which will accompany the yachts. Applications for accommodation already are com- ing in.

Approximately 150 men have an swered the call for track and field competition at the University of Washington. Coach Wander Veer has been putting the candidates through only the lightest kind of work to start and it will not be until he can get his men out on the new track that he will be able to determine the quality of his new aspirants for athletic hon ors. Several of last seasons veterans are lost to the team and unless some of the new man develop into varsity calibre, the early season prospects for a winning team are said to be discour- aging. The new running track which still is under construction rapidly is being completed, and is expected to be in shape when the weather per mits of the regular outdoor work outs.

With two weeks of the preliminary training season behind them, the six clubs of the Pacific coast baseball league are beginning to take on form. As yet there has been no time to de- termine with any certainty just how good the candidates for the various teams are, and there has been no radl- cal change of opinion as to the rela- tive merits of the teams as they have already been figured out on paper by critics. Little opinion is being ex- pressed as to the playing qualities of the new men in the various squads, because it is well known that prelim- mary practice forms no criterion of a players worth after he gets into the regular schedule. Youngsters, who, in the past, have shown up we'll in the early season training have gone to pieces before the crowds, and in the excitement of pennant race.
 The Los Angeles squad continues to hold its place as the first choice and is generally expected to enter the playing season as the most formidable combination in the league. With the Portlanders warming up in Honolulu, only meager knowledge of their pro- gress is available, but it is thought not unlikely that Manager McCredie will pick up an island player or two before he returns to the mainland. He has reputation for being able to pick out promising material among the youngsters.

Fred Dutch" Schroeder, captain. elect of the Washington State College baseball nine, will not participate in all contests this season with either conference rivals. Schroeder intends to enter Notre Dame next autumn in order to be eligible for the 1918 nine there. His absence from the state col lege lineup this spring, together with that of Pitchers Moss and Hartmann means the loss of the battery which last year was considered by many as the best in northwestern collegiate circles.

THE NELL OF THE YUKON.

by U. A. T1Ooudu, The Devil in Hell, we are told, was
 chained, Thousands of years there he re- mained, He did not complain, nor did he But determined to have a hell of his
 own, Where he could torment the souls of
 men Without being chained in the sulphur pen. So he asked the Lord if he had any In cooler cline, that devil could
 stand. The Lord said: "Yes. but it's not
 much use, It's place called Alaska, as cold as
 the deuce; In fact, old boy. the country's so bare, That I don't think you can make a
 good hell use there" But the devil said he couldn't see why He sure knew his business and would
 like to try. So bargain was made, a deed was
 given, And the Lord released the devil from
 prison. We next meet the devil far up the
 north. Exploring Alaska to see what it is
 worth. From the top of Mckinley he viewed
 the truck. / And said: Though I got 1t for noth-
 ing, yet got stuck, But, oh, it is fine to be out in the
 cold" Then the wind blew a gale the devil
 grew bold, And there on the height of the noun.
 tain he planned To make of Alaska the home of the
 damned. A place somewhat different from the
 old fashioned hell, Where each soul burned in a brim-
 stone cell. And he knew all the arts that wise
 devil needed To make good he'll - and you bet
 he succeeded. He filled the air with a million knats, Spread the Yukon river over the flats, Set line of volcanoes near Unimak

Years ago when a woman became q
widow she at once dropped the use Of

In case she continues TO use her hus

If you are married to a professional

You are "Mrs. John Whitson Ford, +"
while your husband is "Dr. John Whit

Our Tasty Old Friend, The Turnip.

Good cooks and all vegetsrians have
learned TO regard the turnip as one of
the most adaptable of dinner vegeta-
bles. II is so accommodating that
when nodded and dipped in beaten egg
and cracker dust it can masquerade as
a dish Of fried outlets or fried found
ers, or as meat croquettes. II can even
be employed to help out for dessert,
being used in the same way as pump
kin for pies and puddings. Sugar,
cream and a little coloring, with differ
ent .havorings, convert it into very ap-
petizing sweetstuffs from which tarts,
fritters and such things may be made.
When boiled plain as an adjunct to
the meat-course Of dinner, only young,
mild-tasting turnips should be used
and they should be boiled in a rich
stock instead Of plain water, or with a
piece Of very fat pork, as the turnip
is utterly devoid of fat. If boiled in
plain water 1t should be drained dry
