Fans SUSPICIOUS

The award Of the worlds bantam
title to Johnny Buff Of New York at
the expense of Peter Norman has not
been received by the Boston fans with
great deal Of enthusiasm. While, ac-
cording to the rounds, Buff won the
fight and received tho decision on his
merits. the fact remains that many
here are not convinced that Herman
did his best. They recall his first and
second trays with Joe Lynch. also his
two bouts in Boston with Young Mon
trcal, all of which. while very busy
affairs. were not altogether satisfying
They look for another fray between
Herman and Buff and are predicting
that the former champion will regain
his title on that occasion

NO SCORING IN
BANGOR GAME

Bangor Me, Sept. 26.-BangOr
High held Waterville High to a
scoreless tie in the opening football
game Of the season played at Bass
Park on Saturday. Neither team
showed very much knowledge of the
game and neither was at any time
within striking distance of the others
goal line. AS a whole the contest
was a very slow exhibition of old
fashioned football, in which whatever
honQrs were won went to the visitors
who especially in the first half,
outplayed their opponents.
For the most part, each team re-
sorted to line bucking and end runs
the attack being very limited on both
sides. A very few forward passes
were tried and with no effect.
Captain Short was the only ground
gamer for the locals. lie made n
number of end runs. He took the
ball about every other play when
Bangor was on the offensive. Short
played the whole game for the locals
although the line strengthened in the
second half and worked TO advan-
tagc. Short did the punting for
Bangor but his kicks were wide and
lacked distance.
In the first half Captain Poolcr and
Thibodcau made good gains through
the line. In the second half after ne

"OId Man" Groundhog Billed to Peer Around Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the day. that MT. Groundhog is billed to make his annual debut on the hills back of Juneau to cast his weather eye about and decide whether or not there is to be a late or early spring. If he sees his shadow on that day it is said that he crawls back into his hole in the ground and stays there for six weeks. If he sees no shadow he sticks around as an indication that the weather is soon to break and that spring will be early.
 With the brand of weather that is on tap right now and has been on tap for several days it is predicted that there will be no shadows for MT. Groundhog to shy at tomorrow.
 Some one wcs mean enough to remark that it was an awful lucky thing that old man Groundhog did not attempt to amble about any yesterday while the high wind was blow ing or he might have been blown back into his hole with q broken leg, head or back.

DEFINITE PLANS NOT DETERMINED
 BY CONFERENCE
Allotments for Cooperative
 Road Construction Delay ed for Shore Time.

After a two-day session, a confer ei1ce between the Territorial Road Bureau and the Forest Service and the Bureau of Public Roads, adjourn ed shortly before noon today without having taken any definite action re- garding cooperative road projects to be undertaken during the next season. The conference will be re- newed upon the return of Superin tendent c. W. Cheatham. of the Bureau of Public Roads, from the Westward the latter part of the present month.
 Perfect agreement was evidenced by the various road building agencies represented at the conference, ac- cording to R. J. Sommers, Secretary of the Territorial Road Bureau. Mir. SOmmers said no definite or final conclusion as to the money which will be spent by any bureau in CO., operative work, it being thought preferable to await the outcome Of legislation now pending in Congress which is believed to have good chance of passing and which will per nit the Department of Agriculture, through the Bureau of Public Roads to enter more largely into the con struction of roads and trails not only in the sections of Alaska where Ma tional Forests are located, but also in other sections.
 "Of course it was impossible fer the Territorial Road Bureau to speci- fy any certain amount for co-opera- i've work at this time," said MT Sommers. "We will necessarily have to await our own legislative appro priations before funds for any road work are available All of those attending the conference were favor ably impressed with the results of the cooperative work done last sea son, which was the first time it had been given thorough test !n the Territory.

POWER SURVEYS BEN 6 PLANNED
 BY NE " CHIEF
Seaplane Asked for by Dis trict Forester-Estimates
 Cover Two Seasons.

That the. Forest Service during the coming season and that following will make complete investigations of twelve water power sites and in stitute 20 entirely new investigations if the estimates made by it are GOV cred by Congressional appropriations according to Charles H. Flo.y of th. new Alaska District. We have also asked for a flying boat to make aer- ial investigations of the Alaska power sites,' said Mir Flory.
 MT Flory's request for seaplane is based on facts secured by him from Lieut.. Kirkpatrick, who com manded Plane No. in the New York to Nome flight last summer. Mir Flory said that the Army aviator was enthusiastic over the rossitili- ties for using seaplane, especially along the coastal regions of tho Territory. Lieut. Kirkpatrick also declared that in his flying Ec spot ted numerous lakes which dc not ap- pear on any maps of the country and which might furnish sou:ce of power greater than those which are now known. Mr. Flor, has rec commended that a flying boat be furnished for locating jus: such lakes and also for use in mapping timber sections, one such i.t;china it is declared, could accomplish more in single season than .conld be dnnn in nthnr In Of course. said MT. Flory, the .ra- chimes could be used only for locct. ing desirable areas and snotting lakes, the work of final inye5tiga tion would necessarily have to be effected by other means. It would. telligently directing the worh Of in vestigation.
 "Our estimates for funds for sur veys of water power sites for hydro electric purposes said MT Flo~v, ask for $25,000. This will be eX pended so as to cover two seasons investigations. It would en2Ile us to get complete data on twelve projects already started and 70 make preliminary investigations o1 about | 20 others on which we have now ab | solutely no figures.
 Owing to the disposition bein; 1 shown by Congress to pare dow1 all estimates, it is entirely possible ! that even our small needs will net be completely met. Of course, if we are unable to get funds for che work it will mean pust that much { delay in the development of all in dustres which depend on the use of hydro-electric power for .ileir prosperity.
 "It will also make it necessary for | those who cannot afford to await | delayed investigations to make their own surveys, which is not a Gesir- able practice for the public good. | Privately made surveys benefit only those making them, as the resul's obtained are not available to Ehe general public as would be the case if they were made by the GoTern. ment through the Forest Service.
 Congress is very favorable dis posed toward Alaska, however, said Mir Flory. "It is likely tha; it would grant all reasonable re- quests if the members are snown the necessity for them. Civic and commercial organizations fo the Ter ritory can give valuable assistance in such matters by supporting those who make the estimates"
 Mir. Flory was recently made al member of the Juneau Commercial Association and will be present at the Association meeting next Thurs day noon.
