 PLAYERS ARE IN TRAINING
Is Expected That Many ot Those Included Will Not Stand the
 Final Test.

SAN FRANCISCO, March IS. - With all of the Pacific Coast base bal league teams in preliminary training and the first of the prac- tice> games against the minor clubs in swing, followers of the national game soon will be able to estimate the worth of the material gather ed together by the various mana gers.
 A birds eye view of the clubs early season rosters shows a var jed assortment of young players who have yet their mark to make on the professional diamond. It IS to be expected that many of these will fall by the wayside long before the official opening of the season but there are a number who are showing up to advantage that it is certain they will be given a trial with the opening of the regular playing season.

Following remarkable eight week recruiting drive which has won q ,00C soldiers for the British and Canadian forces in Flanders, the members of the combined Brit ish and Canadian recruiting missions gather in New York city to arrange for secondary campaign through out the United States. All of the members expect that another six
 weeks, or two months, will see the present large total of recruits gained in the United States trebled. All of the officers reported thousands of "prospects" in the various States already visited and Brigadier Gen. eral w. A. White, head of the com bined recruiting service, emphasized the fact that tue work of the mis- siOns was but well begun. In all probability the first recruits ever sworn into British army service in the United States with their hats on were the more than one hundred Jewish recruits who took the oath at the British and Canadian recruit ing headquarters in New York city.

HIGH COST OF
 LIVING CAUSES
 COOPERATION
The Natives of Hawaii Have been Practically Denied Favorite
 Foods.

HONOLULU, T. H., Feb. 26. (By mail Driven to desperation by the high cost of living which has tre- bled in Hawaii since the United States entered the war, making it almost prohibitive for native Ha- waiians of the poorer class to secure the foods to which they always have been accustomed, number of prominent Hawaiiaus have launch ed a Big Brother movement. It will take the form of an Hawaiian $ Chamber of Commerce whose func- tion will be primarily to combat the high cost of living for the ben fit of the natives.
 Poi and fish, the staple articles of food for the natives have scared in price along with the white mans foodstuffs. As result the poor Ha- Waiians unable to make both ends meet has been forced to forego his favorite dishes. Poi is made from the Taro root by process of baking and grinding. It is afterward mix cd into paste which undergOes fermentation.
 The chamber will be sort of a CO., operative institution and will be capitalized at $25,000, the funds to be derived by popular subscrip- tion. One of the first steps will be to lease poi factory which will sell poi to the natives at cost. The next step is to arrange for clear ing house for fish where the natives can buy at almost cost.

George Forrest Who Has Returned from the Out side Gives 0b-
 ServationS.
THIS IS A ENTE R
Location of Industry Would Give Women and Men Chance at En-
 pIoyment.

George F. Forrest, machinery az ent of Juneau, who has been spend ing the winter in the south dealing with cannerymen of this section for supplies, returned yesterday on the Spokane and reports that tho fishing industry of Juneau and vicinity is to be. the, big thing during the coming season. Mir. Forrest says that a large cannery and cold storage plant will be located in Juneau at once, if a suitable site can be secured The whole project stands or falls on the action taken by the merchants of Ju- neau according to Mr. Forrest He also states that the Juneau people must take steps at once to place a boat on the southern Chatham Straits run, irrespective of any mail con tract which might be let.
 Three-Line Cannery
 q have been dealing with all the cannerymen of this section during the winter months and am in close touch with the situation" he said this morning "A license has been granted to the Sea Food Packing Company to operate cannery in Ju- neau These people are negotiating for a site and if one is secured are prepared to erect three-line can nery on it at once. They will also put in a cold storage plant of con siderable size and deal in fresh fish, which will make it an all-year round proposition.
 'The whole project rests with the people of Juneau If proper site can be secured within the city linn it's, the workers will be enabled to work in the cannery while living in their own homes and the city will derive large revenue from the taxes on the plant. If a site can not be secured, the plant will be installed further down the channel and the workers will have to reside at the plant, causing inconvenience as web as loss of revenue.
 Want To Trade Here
 "I had dealings with all the fish operators on the Southern Chatham Straits run and they are all anxious to do business with Juneau mer chants and through Juneau. It will be next to impossible to get a mail contract from here on account of the cheaper bid from Petersburg. but we must have boat on the run. The operators there all personally assured me that they wanted their business to come here and if we can make arrangements for a boat, they will each pay a subsidy to help operate it. They will also have all their mail routed through Juneau, irres pective of the Petersburg contract
 Licenses for thirteen new cannery outfits in Alaska have been granted already and others are contemplated Of this number three are located on Chatham Straits and Frederick Sound three on Icy Straits and Sitka dis trict, and one at Juneau.
 Juneau Logical Point
 Juneau has long been recognized by fishing men as logical point for a cannery, and one of the largest cannerymen in Southeastern Alaska has been thinking of locating a plant here for some time. We have the

fish supply and the labor market makes this an ideal location. In ad- dition Juneau has the cheapest pow CT supply of any city on the coast. if not in the United States. In all of Alaska, Juneau and Skagway are the only coast towns which have no cannery located either within the city. or immediately adjoining.
 Improvements and additions to the cannery business within the in- mediate vicinity of Juneau for the coming summer includes: Red Bluff Bay, where the present plant is be- ing considerably improved.
 Alaska Pacific Herring Company at Big Port Walter, where a can making plant is being installed, residences and cottages built, sanitary equip ment installed in the crews quar- ters and a hydraulic power plant is being installed.
 Alaska Herring X Packing Com pany at Little Port Walter is build ing a new three-line cannery and generally improving the quarters and the old plant, with a consequent in. crease of output. A survey of the water power is also being made with a view of installing hydraulic equip ment
 Petersburg Packing Company will operate the saltery and traps at Washington Bay and will also enlarge the plant.
 A subsidiary of the Weisse Pack ing Company is putting in a large saltery at Warm Springs Bay.
 The Lindenberger Packing Com pany, or the Columbia River Salmon Company is putting in a cannery at Tenakee.
 The Tenakee Fish Company is ell larging and improving their plant.
 The Astoria & Puget Sound Com pany is rebuilding the plant at Ex- cursion Inlet destroyed by fire last year and expect to have a larger and better plant than formerly.
 The Deep Sea Salmon Company is building a three-line cannery at Port Althrop and is also improving their old plant at Cape Edwards.
 The Pyramid Packing Company is building one-line cannery at Sitka.
 The Sanitary Packing Company of Wrangell is installing a two-line can nery at Cape Fanshaw.
 A man named Pederson, I do not know the name of his concern, is building a one-line cannery at Py- bus Bay.
 Other Improvements
 The Sanborn Cutting Company is enlarging and improving their plant at Rake and are also figuring on hy- draulic equipment to furnish power for their plant.
 The older concerns are all figur- ing on making improvements during the coming summer and all are mak- ing every effort to pack the greatest amount of fish possible during the short time the fish are running.
 The people of Juneau must get busy at once on the cannery loca- ton here and also on the boat con tract for the Chatham run if they de- sire to get their share of the busi- ness. The business is there and anx- ious to come, the only thing neces- sary being a little pep on the part of the Juneau people" he concluded.

sHEEPHERDERs NOW.

Pendleton, Ore. Aug. 26.-War-
time conditions have brought the
s~heepherder, for many years past
considered as being about at the bot
tom of the employment ladder, to the
rank and pay Of a skilled laborer in
some Instances. Prior to the war the
going wage for sheepherders of the
top rank was S45 a month. At pres
ent the federal employment Office in
P%endleton quotes $75 a month and
food as the minimum, but the average
paid is about $85 a month and many
sheepherders are receiving 500. In
a few isolated cases 1926 has been re-
ported.
At the beginning Of the draft the
situation in this part of the country,
where many large sheep operators
make their headquarters, became seri-
Gus. Many sheepherders were within
the draft age, and little disposition
was shown by the draft boards to ex-
empt them. Besides those drafted
many sought employment in other
lines, to replace drafted men there,

Here they find billiard and pool
