ALASKA COAST TOWNS BOOMING,
 AYERS TRAVELLER

The fishing industry, principally, according to Joe Meherin, who is on his annual visit to Alaska towns, has made a vast change for the better in the industrial life of the towns On the Alaska coast, and these places are said to be throbbing with life and enjoying boom times. The mining industry on the coast also seems to have 'taken 8 new lease of life and a larger amount of men now find employment in the various coast mines.
 Mr Meherin left Seattle for the North on March ?, and visited all the coast towns before coming into the Interior. At Anchorage, he says. he found very optimistic feeling prevailing, in view of the expected appropriation for railroad construc- ton work, and everybody there ex- pected to be busy soon.
 In the Willow creek mining dis trict, close to the Matanuska coal fields, very considerable develop ment work appears to have been done. Several mines are reported to have been opened and several others are expected to be opened up within the next few months, and quite large camp has been estab- lished in that district
 George Palmer and Hemrics Brothers, formerly the Seattle Brew ing & Mating company, now known as the Rainier Products Co.,, have opened and are operating one of the largest clam canneries in Alaska. at Snug harbor, where one of the larg- est clam beds in the world is located About 100 girls left Seattle during the latter part of last month to work in the cannery during the canning season, their passage to and from Seattle having been arranged for by the company, who also had made special arrangements for their ac- conmodation during their term Of service.
 sitka, the old capital during the Russian occupation, is also said to be booming, due to the fishing in- dustry, and great many men are finding employment there.
 The Juneau-Alaska and Juneau Gastinau mines, both of which, up ill last January, had employed about 200 men each, are now each said 10 be working three shifts, giving en- ployment to approximately TOO men. The fishing around the capital IS also affording profitable employ ment to many men and, he says, there are signs of prosperity every where
 Similar conditions were found on Kodiak island, and the population of the town of Kodiak is reported to have increased vastly. Fishing iz the main industry there. #

WHY CHEM STANDS PAT

In view of the fact that the major portion Of the great war was fought on French soil, necessitating greater sacrifices on the part Of France and Frenchmen than were required Of nations at a distance from the scene of struggle, it is not surprising to find Premier Clemen- ceau holding firmly to the demand for full reparation from the Ger mans. It is easy enough for Presi- dent Wilson, who has been boosted to world prominence by the war, and whose country has gained Ire mendously through participation in the struggle, 10 talk of 9 modified ton of peace terms; II is less easy, perhaps, but still not such 9 diff cult task for Premier George to look back upon the German outrages with lessening horror, for England's sufferings, after all. were confined chiefly to the battlefields, far re- moved from British soil, and it is worth something to British com merce and security to know that the Hun menace has been removed; Italy suffered more than either America or England and should stand firmly with the French pre- nier. But Italy has claims of her own which require attention. ard is 100 closely allied with England to take an opposite view on ques- tions not directly concerning Italy.
 As long ago as March, the fear was expressed in France that the conference would let the Germans off 100 easily. Professor Louis Du- bois, deputy for the department of the Seine, has made 2 special study of: ths economic situation in North ern France, produced by the de- structive ingenuity of the Boches, and has submitted to the chamber Of deputies 9 detailed report Of his findings, calling special attenti"n to the fact that German industries are unimpaired, ready to invade the markets of the world long be- fore French industries have re- covered from the war. .:.=
 Dubois found that the Germans had made a specially of destroying the essential things They even had a machine, he says, specially devised to destroy railway points, and is operation was so successful that it will take fully two years to restore the railways of Northern France to proper working order.
 Transportation is interlocked with all the big difficulties we have to cope with" the professor points out in his report. There is the question of rsw materials and the question of labor. If, by demobiliz- ation,.we get labor we must trans port the men to places where they are needed. Then we must house and feed them. There is neither food nor housing accomm odation. To provide it, we again need trans portation.
 ''We are asked why we cannot make fuller use of the canals, but these canals served as lines of de- fense for the enemy. Their banks are battered, they are fuii Of debris and need dredging. Many of the locks are destroyed.
 E'The pits of the coal mining dis tYict are flooded in places. One CT two nay be worked partly in SIX t1 eight months, but it wil be five CT six years before the mines are in proper working condition again.

BOXING NOTES

Ihe coming year will witness a gen. eral invasion of European countries by American boxers and their managers. european promoters have besieged American managers with heretofore unheard of propositions and practi- cally every worth while boxer here will be on his way to the other side by the first of February Already sev eral well known American boxers are in Eugland. These will be joined later in the winter by Benny Leonard, Jack Brltton, Mike O'Dowd, Johnny Kilbane, Charley White, Eddie F'itzsimmons, Lew Tender, Jack Sharkey, Battling Levinsky, Charley Weinert, Willie Meehan and others equally as well known to pugilistic enthusiasts.
 Vincent Reina, the New Haven pro- moter, who will stage the Johnny Dun dee-Benny Leonard 20-round bout in New Haven on January Is predicts that the show will draw in the neigh borhood of $30,000. Each boxer has already posted forfeit of S3.5OO as a guarantee for appearance and weight. Promoter Reina, too, has posted a for felt of $5,000 as evidence of good faith that he will go through with plans as they have been drawn up.
 Joe Benjamin of San Francisco, whc is now being handled by Billy Gibson and Ritchie Mitchell of Milwaukee arc as good as matched for a scramble be-
 fore the Cream City A. c. of Milwau-
 kee next week. The managers have come to terms and all that remains tC
 make the match a reality is the sigma.
 ture of each pilot to articles of agree ment.
 Jack Britton. the welterweigh champion, and Augie Rather of Nev

York, have been matched by Promoter Dave Mackay of Newark for an eight round decisionless bout at the Sport mems club in the New Jersey metropo- lis on December 23. Both boys have started training and the bout should be lively affair.
 In spite of the defeat he sustained at the hands of Jack Sharkey of New York in Milwaukee, Jimmy Wilde, the fiashy English flyweight, has finally decided to make the Cream City his home while he is in this country. Wilde's manager has several good of fers in view and it is almost a cer- tainty that within couple of weeks Wilde will be seen in action again in the middle west.
 Johnny Wilson of Boston, but orig inally a New York middleweight, has developed into being New England s leading middleveight. Roy Green, who is matchmaker of the Fenway A. c. in Boston. is now negotiating for a match between Mike O'Dowd and Will son for the near future. If Green lands this match he will stage it at Me chanics' hall, which is the largest structure in the Beantown.
 Johnny Coulon. former bantam weight champion, is sincere in his challenge to Jimmy WllQe, the EnSilSn | f1yweight. Johnny was at the ring side at the Wilde-Sharkey bout ir Milwaukee and honestly believes he can beat the Briton. He is so con fident that he can stage a come back that he says he stands willing to post $1 ,000 which he will give to Wilde a.
 a present the moment he signs arti-
 cles agreeing to meet him.
 i Since decisions were allowed ir Bridgeport promoters there have found
 it next to impossible to secure top
 notch talent for their shows. One pro
 moter approached very well knowr
 New York boxer with a liberal propo
 sition to appear in Bridgeport, but tn.
 scrapper turned the offer down fiat
 frankly stating he did not care to talk any chances when he could participat
 in a no-decision bout and ''get just a much money"

SPORTING NOTES.

Winning four championship long distance running races within two months is the remarkable record of Fred Taller of the Dorchester (Mass1 Athletic Club. Taller copped the Ma tional and New England 10-miIe events and then won the National and New England cross-country cham pionship.
 If baseball moguls continue their attempts to rule te game by court lnunctions, our grand old pastime is likely to be cut up into remnants and placed on the bargain counter.
 There is one distinguishing feature Tn Tom Cowler's ring career. No mat ter how many fights he loses Tom still retains his title of English heavyweight champion of Australia"

THE PolNsETTlA.

The tall, slender poinsettia with it's exquisite petals of flaming crimson, the flower that blooms at the Yuletide, is now known the world over as the Christmas flower. But ilow many know how the poinsettia gots its name?
 Several miles out of Greenville, s. G., among the mist wrapped silent hills. are revelations of lovely landscape where miles of green velvet slopes are outlined against the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains. The autumn leaves with their rich vari-colored tints, the lingering fragrance of the fading flow CTS, tempt the wanderer, dreamlike, to loiter, lazily submissive to the drowsy stiffness broken only by the singing of the birds.

The BertiIIon System.

The Bertillon system was named for Alphonse Bertillon, who was at one time chief of the identification bureau of police in Paris. He adopted a meth cd of Identification which has proved almost infallable, wherever used. The principles of the system consist of talk ing measurements of the bony and least changing parts of the adult, such as the length and breadth of the head. length of the spine, forearm, finger, nose, ear, etc, in giving the color and other characters of the eye, color of the hair, etc., and in giving marks, re- suits of disease. wounds, tattooing. etc. which are recorded in regular order on cards and filed away in groups ac- cording to some prominent measure ment. It is said that the chances of error in identification by this system are but one in 13,O00, 00,eOO-Boston Globe.
