UP AGAINST IT

After spending several days at tho orict ot che United States Shipping BoarI Maurice ID. Lcohcy. of Seat lc. special attorney for the terri tory of Alaska. Is convinced that it is not going Co be SO easy to get ships to ply in the northern trade as it appeared when he left Seattle, says Washington dispatch to the Seattle Times. He also is certain that it is going to be considerable .imc before the territory will be able to go into Che steamship business.
 The territorial legislature enacted 1 law appropriotiug money for an investigation of steamship conditions and authorized commission Co get The consent of congress to the issu- lncc or S5.OOO.OOO worth of terri ,orial bonds. ir. in the opinion of the commission. it is wise for tho terri tory Co embark in the sea .transpor- tution business.
 The problem that is troubling Mir. Lcehcy most Is the uncertainty of what Is going Co be done in regards to steamships already in the hands of thc Shipping Board. It will be some months before it is decided by Congress whether these ships be sold Tor operated by the government If Congress takes the viewpoint Of the farmers and decides that the ships shall be operated by governmental agency. an cnort will probably be made to induce tho Shipping Board to place some Of the vessels in the Alaska business in opposition to the companies now engaged in that trade.
 If the ships are to be sold. it will be some time before Alaska is able Co buy any of them. for Congress has a number of reconstruction mat. tcrs demanding urgent attention. lt win have little time to give to con. sideration of legislation affecting Alaska. and the consent of Congress Co the bond issue must be obtained before the territory can make the purchase.

In going through the files of th, Douglas Island News for items for our sourdough column which chron- iclcs dolngs twenty years ago, the name of Raymond Robins was con- tinually cropping up.

Then Major Robins was sent to Russia upon the earnest recom- mondatlon of Theodore Roosevelt. Co have charge Of all Red Cross activ- itics there.

Robins is ono Of Che men who will most effectively carry on the Roosevelt traditions in this country.
 In speaking of his own acquoiu- tanco with Col Robins, Mr. Hard states that he first became acQualnt- ed with him seventeen years ago when he had just returned from gold hunting in Alaska where lac had hunted successfully enough to bc able Co live in modcsty during the rest of his life without any such further hunting elsewhere. and that he was working in Chicago among the poor and downtroddcn trying Go restore broken men to a sound life

 Set for Events

 The finance committee reported progress and since that time the amount sought has been obtained, with very few people yet 10 sec.
 owing to the uncertainty in the baseball situation the sports com mittcc was unable to report the hours for the different events. The idea is to have the ball game on Douglas Island at such time as not to conflict with the game that is to be played in Juneau on that day. As it is not known definitely when .hc Juneau game is 10 be played, it s impossible to tell as yet the hours for sports here.
 Tentatively the celebration will be just about like this: Hose race first thing in the morning for a prize of SSO and $40. Ball game after wards Cbcforc lmch) for a prize Of slOO. First thing after lunch, pa ,riotic exercises, including oration, lt the Lyric theatre. After the eX- ,rciscs the small sports including all kinds of races for children will take mp the rest of the afternoon until supper time.
 After supper there will be a breathing spell and everyone will be given a chance to get ready for the grand free ball in the Natatorium In inc evening.
 The program is subject to change as Co time, but the events will all be pulled on no matter what hap pens.
 At the meeting Of Monday night the question of an orator was brought up by Mayor Smith and he and F. A. J. Gollwas were appointed To secure a silvcr-tongucd one for Che day. II. F. Murray of the music committee was authorized to secure music for the patriotic exercises.
 Another meeting of the associa- lion will be hccld next Monday night lt tho same place and it is hoped that at that time all the details can bc strengthened out and time set for m events as we'll as the events themselves arranged
