 And all because THE MAN WHO leads the institution they work for wants to see them get out of life all thu joy possible and. for that reason, chose as their friend and adviser one of the most talented young women in the country-a woman full of heart sym pathies who just revels in the joy.-of her work.

The Third Division

Steward Gateway
 About every two three months the press or the Third Division, newspapers at Anchorage, Valdez, nd Cordova, are called upon to editorialize upon he newspapers getting together and boosting for the whole division But most frequently little pokes made at the various cities, perhaps having some ortune suddenly thrust upon them. Cut it out, rs As far as the Gateway is concerned, Valdez. cordova and Anchorage ade all booming and no mat. what prosperity arises, the Gateway and Seward nightly pleased.
 One cannot dispute the fact that COrdova is the ,opper city of the north and during the summer months is the center of the fishing industry. All his means a large population and a correspondingy good times. '+ E'T% {t
 Valdez is noted for the "get together and boost or the district" spirit. It is said that money for my legitimate proposition can be raised in Valdez be commended for that is the spirit that counts in your section and back it with the coin nd others will follow. And there are mines and fisheries interests at Valdez
 Anchorage is the coal section of the north, or will )e when the proper connections made for the shipment of the coal and the further opening of the hines. Anchorage also has agricultural and min ms district to back her up, something that never will be taken away.
 Seward has her advantages.
 All cities should boost, for what helps one, helps he other. if all could only it.
 What Division has the large population?
 What Division produces the greatest amount of exports the year round
 Think it over, and the Third Division, represent d in publicity by the Anchorage Times, the Valdez Iiner Cordova Times and Seward Gateway, is some productive Division of Alaska.

Harnessing a Glacier

 An ingenious Alaskan has harnessed glacier md intends to utilize it in the production of gold

 So he has diverted the glacial stream and intends prospecting in this hole, which is partially filled with sand, in the confident expectation that 'iderable amount of precious metal will be found there
 Should his conclusions be justified, there is no why he should not route the stream back to ts accustomed bed at the conclusion of his opera ions and wait hopefully until new crop of gold lust has accumulated

OFFICIAL SANCTION GIVEN FOR FIGHT Rickard Claims to Have Re- fused S2O,0O0 Check
 for Tickets

Toledo, May 15.-Official sanction for between Jess Willard and Jack Demp- sey. scheduled to be fought at Bayview park here July 4. was given by the To- ledo boxing commission today when a rermit was issued to A. Q. Thacher and sds brother, representing the Toledo Athletic club.
 The permit calling for 12-round contest to a decision, bears the sigma ture of Mayor Schreiber, c. F. Wall, di- rector of public safety and head of the boxing commission, and the remaining five members This action removed all speculation as to what the commits sion would do in regard to sanctioning the contest.
 The actual construction of the arena, which. according to present plans, will have a seating capacity of 50,000 per sons ,was started today. Tex Rickard, promoter of the contest. drove the first half dozen spikes in the frame work of the huge structure.
 Because Toledo lumber dealers were unable to furnish the large amount of material required, the date for com pleting the arena has been set back from 10 to 20 days, depending upon the arrival of materials. Hundreds of wagon loads of blanks were brought to the 100-acre site.
 The first major reservations of seats was made today Officials of the Mau- mee River Yacht club gave Rickard certified check for s3500 which will go for $25 and s10 seats for club members. Sportsmen of Columbus, O., also placed an order for 400 seats. They plan to make the trip in special trains.
 Because he feared tickets might fall into the possession of scalpers Rickard today refused check for $20, 900 worth of seats. He declined to reveal the name of the prospective purchaser.
