 psychological effect made 1t a victory fer Ketchel
 The sho wing of Ketchel against Thomas convinced skeptical promoters in San Francisco. And they bid high for the privilege of staging a return match be- tween Thomas and Ketchel. Without much dickering the two men signed az ticles for a finish battle in San Fran cisco on September 2, 1907.
 As Ketchel climbed into the ring that night to fight before the biggest crowd he had ever seen gathered under one roof, and to fight before an audience that idolized his rival, he was a picture of confidence. Being alone, in a strange town, before a hostile crowd, worried him not at all He believed in himself and this showed in his every action be- fore and during the fight.
 Just before the battle began Ketchei leaned over the ropes and said to Billy Nauehton. San Francisco sport writer, who had given Ketchel fair boost a few days before:
 Mir. Naughton. I wish you would watch me closely in this fight tonight. think I am fairly good. and if I am, and make a good showing, will you please tell the people about it in your paper tomor- row? But if don't look good, you go right ahead and hammer me as much as deserve"
 The newspapers the next day printed the story of the battle-and almost every lire of it was praise of the wonderful pe,fo. nance of Ketchei. They told how he had carried the fight to the wonder fully clever Thomas from the first gcng to the last; how he had stood up un- f1inchingly before the terrific pounding of his foe. and how he had kept after Thomas in a merciless fashion; how he carefully and methodically had cut down ! Thomas, round after round, until in tho thirty-second he sent him down and out, so gaining victory in one of the most terrific battles ever fought on the Pacitie coast.

 Meet July 20

According to Jack Kearns. manager for Jack Dempsey, the Fulton-Dempsey bout, scheduled for July 20, is sure to take place, either in Jersey City or Newark. Kearns was in Atlanta with his protege the other day and gave out a statement saying that under the New Jersey stat utes eight-round bouts would be per- mitted in the mosquito commonwealth and plans had been arranged for this long-delayed fight on that date.
 Newark is the logical place for the fight and if the authorities will permit these two title-clalmers will settle their differences there next week. A large DOT tion of the proceeds will be devoted to the Clark Griffith bat and ball fund.

While German music is one of the great art possessions of humanity it is remarkable fact that not one of the great German composers was a Prus- sian. Bach was Thuringian. Handel a Saxon, Gluck and Mozart Bavarians,
 Hydn an Austrian citizen and probably a Croat, Weber and Schubert Austrians
 and Schumann and Wagner Saxons.
 Richard Strauss was Bavarian, Mendel-

New York, July 11-Perhaps chief among the reasons why the United States Steel corporation established it's plant at Gary, Ind, and also why the managers deemed it expedient to buy the Tennes- quarters are at Birmingham, Ala, was due to the demonstration that there would be a great economy in the man ufacture and distribution of the products if the plants were not concentrated with in one district, but were established at various convenient points throughout the country.
 The example thus set seems to have been adopted by the government in es- ta ablishing new centers for so-called war industries. When we were first prepar- ing to meet our responsibility as one of the allies of Great Britain, France and Italy, the greater part of the war indus tries were established in New England. New York, Pennsylvania and in some sections of the midwestg Detroit, it Is true, maintained supremacy and will con- tinue to maintain 1t, in the manufacture os motor cars that are to be made avail able for war purposes.
 But it was early realized that for two reasons it would be advisable to prevent further congestion of war industrial plants in the east and instead of that to locate them in various parts of the country. One of these reasons was due to the monition that were war indus trial plants exclusively established near the coast they would offer tempting op- portunities were an invading army or a great naval force which represented a government with which we were at war to approach American shores.
 On the other hand, were plants to be established in the interior and especially in the Appalachian region of the south. they would be remote from danger Of attack. Another reason was based upon experience; for it was discovered that the congestion of intuition plants in a small eastern district tended greatly to increase the embarrassment of railroad transportat ton. Therefore, the country
 Is about to witness the establishment of many large war industrial plants in other parts of the country, and, in fact. re- gional districts have been agreed upon, 50 that this plan can be more easily ca rried out.
 The war industries board, in co-opera- ton with the fuel administration and the railroad administration. has perfected a plan whereby there may be established in other parts of the country than the east, many war industrial plants. One district. which comprises the New Eng land states, New York city and it's vi- cinity, the eastern half of Pennsylvania and all of New Jersey and Delaware now contains nearly all of tho important war industrial plants Now the govern nient authorities have perfected plans which will prevent further increase in the volume of war orders, and in the number of establishments handling them in this district.

A SERIOUS PROBLEM

Tn statement recently issued by these government authorities. 1t was said that the congestion of war industries in the comparatively small eastern district has been so great as to occasion embarrass- ment, often something like embargo, in supplying these industries with raw ma terial and with fuel For instance, sub operate these war industries is mined in the Appalachian coal district. It must be transported therefore for distance of 500 or 600 miles from the coal fields
 the eastern district. The number of railways available for that purpose is not large. and railway service can be only partially supplemented by shipments from Hampton Roads.
 Therefore, no matter how much coal is mined in the Appalachian coal region. no more of it can be transported to the congested district than the railroads and the coal barges can carry.
 INTO THE SOUTH
 In many parts of the south the gov ernniGnt authorities will establish indus trial activities so that the eastern dis trict may be relieved of it's congestion. This is precisely what the United States Steel corporation did, as was said above. when it established plants which are re- mote from the Pittsburg district. The lc1 oers in so-called "big buSiness" taught a lesson which the government has learned. although it should be said that the war industries board and the rail- road administration number among tf<r members some of the ablest business leaders who built up the great corpora tions that have been of such inca alculable service to the government at this tine.

If you don't volunteer your dollars, they will later be draftd-in more ways than one-and the security of rcrcd may be less gilt-edged than that which guarantees the payment of the bonds at good interest.

At Fairbanks the school children pre- pared and gave an entertainment that cleared four hundred dollars. The school principal had ideas about eXpending the money that did not coincide with the ideas of the children. The former forced the treasurer of the fund to give a check for the amount which had been deposited in a bank. The principal drew out the money and turned it over to the school board. The children raised a rumpus, their parents up held them and the principal was forced to turn the money back While interior AL aska is generally quiet in the winter sea son, it is a safe bet that, with upward of three hundred school children arrayed against the school principal, Fairbanks was not quite dead while the pot was boiling

fla better cight-hom law than the one passed by the late Territorial legislature can not be framed and passed then it will be we'll to leave it as it is That eight hours should constitute a days work is conceded bv an fair-mmdcd men. we believe, in Alas ka. Those who do not concede it are not lau-mmdcd. But we do not believe the present law is good enough for the labor ing classes of Alaska. True, it does not re ouirc them to work more than eight hours a day. but if, after working and receiving paw for that number of hours, they prefer to make six bits OF a dollar more by put ting i'm am hour overtime. we thnk the law that forbids such exercise of personal lib- crty to the extent of putting the offender u iail and fumg him. is a hardship tha' should be rcmcdicd Eight hours work should constitute a day and be rcmmcr- atcd with a days pay, but to presume to dictate to a man what he shall do during the remaining sixteen hours of the twenty four is m the same class as were the Con uccticut Blue Laws which made it am of fcusc for a man to whistle Saturday night because 1t was only few hours from Sun day. This is just the way the editor of this paper feels concerning the eight-hour prop ositiou and Inc is a candidate for the Terri torial legislature at that. It is human slavery to force a man to toll long hours for short pay and it is the same class of slavery that dictates to a man what he shall do with his own time. The working man of Alaska is entitled to a square deal and the eight hour law as it stands now denies him that malicuablc right.

The truth of the matter is, and every per son who has lived on the Yukon river knows it is true. that salmon are not fit for food when fresh, to say nothing of their condi- ton after being canned, when they have uavcrsed the muddy waters of the Yukon for a few hundred miles or been in those muddy waters for few days. By the time a salmon gets from 600 to 1000 miles up the Yukon river its meat is almost ready to part company with it's bones. It looks like mud, tastes like mud and practically is mud
