 q was in villages and small towns in Eastern Prussia and Bavaria, as well as in Berlin and everywhere one could not put down the feeling that this once great and powerful na- tion would be great and powerful again."

OPPOSED "b0RAX KING" ONCE MORE
 BACK ON TYRONE
Man Who Put Death Valley On the Map Comes Back
 Strong Tn Nevada.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 5.-Fran- cis Marion Smith, picturesque west ern financial leader, one time known as the "Borax King" is back on his throne, his San Francisco friends say, having recently purchased a newly Undiscovered Nevada mountain of colemanite, which is the base for bOraX.
 At the age of seventy-two, his associates report, the man who put Death Valley on the map has "come back" after suffering financial re- verses in railroads and real estate, and again controls the greater part of the earth's borax production.
 Smiths new mountain contains, according to experts, one of the larg- est deposits of colemanite known. It is some 5000 feet in length and iuts from three to five hundred feet above the surrounding Nevada Hill country.
 The deposit is in the wild Muddy Mountain" country of Clark County Nevada. a little more than eighteen miles from the main line of rail road running between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. A spur track will be built to the mine
 Smith was told of the mountain by two prospectors, George D. Hart discovered the deposits January 23 1921, after searching for minerals for several months. They estimated there were 50O,000 tons of the ore in sight
 Knowing of Smiths experience in handling Borax mines, the prospec tors induced him to make a trip to the find. A short personal investi gation convinced Smith that the bor aX was there. so without further rough piece of paper and arranged for payment of $50,OOO to close the deal
 Smith has turned the property over ! to a chemical company of which he l is president and will begin ship ments at once. The ore will be trucked out to the railroad for g time.
 Smiths first discovery of boraS was made forty-nine years ago al Feels Marsh, Nevada. Since ther he has developed it into a great commercial industry It is said that borax is put to more than 250 uses

TWO SCHOOLS TO FIGHT II OUT
 AT DUAL MEET
Plans Are Already Being Made for Outdoor Games
 If Present Is Success.

Emphasizing the fact that the h. door Field Meet to be held on Fri day night at the NatatOrium Hall, Douglas, is in reality a dual meet between Juneau and Douglas schools, scores will be kept of the points made by the schools as a whole as well as individual point winners and the school having the greatest total will be declared the winner of the meet. It is also planned that if the affair of Friday night is a success an outdoor meet will be held as soon as the weather becomes favorable.
 Glenn Hodges, of Thane, who is ar ranging for entries in the senior events from that town, has an nounced that besides entering in the dGshes himself he will have at least half dozen entrants for various events from his home town.
 The special three mile run by Arden Peabody of the Juneau High School against Sinclair Brown of the Douglas High School is causing a lot of comment and promises to be one of the most interesting things of the whole evening Both men are in fine condition.
 Coach A B. Phillips, of the Ju- neau squad will take his men to Douglas Thursday night for the last training on the floor of the Nata- torium which at that time will be all in readiness and fitted out as will be for the following night
 A special ferry has been provided that will leave Juneau Friday even ing at 7:20 for Douglas only. The meet itself will start promptly at 8 o'clock.

extreme Pacific side frontier point of Panama Without following the 18-year old custom of advising the United States authorities, the Presi dent dispatched a force of national police from Panama to dislodge the alleged invaders.
 Secret Plans Laid.
 In official American quarters here it was noted that Panama's determ- ination to live her own life mani fested itself at {; time when the national administration at Washing ton was changing and that it was marked by the failure to advise Am erican representatives of the steps tcEcn to preserve Panamas terri torial integrity, even though the United States guaranteed this in tegrty in the canal treaty
 Despite efforts to keep the ex- petition secret, the American auth critics learned of the movements oi the two Central American govern ments promptly and in advance of most of the residents of Panama
 The prompt dispatch of Ameri- can warships to Bocas del Toro and the note sent to Panama and Costa Rica by Secretary of State Hughes on March calling a halt in the hostilities came as a shock to plans of the Panama administration to settle the dispute over Costa Rica single-handed.
 The situation in Panama prior tC the retirment of the Costa Ricaf forces from the territory they hac seized was in many respects similar to that prevailing in Mexico before the fall of Carranza, where the go7 ernment sought to hold public sup port by posing as the defender oi Mexico's rights against North Am erican aggression.
