HORSESHOE PITCHERS

MINNEAPOLIS, April 12. - The home state of the national champion has been awarded the national horse shoe pitchers tournament, to be held at De Moines, Ia, the last week in Au- gust, it is announced by B. G. Leigh ton of Minneapolis, president of the National Association of Horseshoe Pitchers.

 rates, declaring that Alaskans had very little interest in passenger rates. He quoted figures purporting to show discrimination in water rates between 1 San Francisco and Seattle, and be- tween Seattle and Alaskan ports ranging from 33 per cenE U as high as 200 per cent higher in the latter district. He also quoted his extended remarks in the Congressional Record and from brief submitted to the chairman of the House Committee on Territories by the Territorial Attor- ney General. He also condemned the discriminatory provisions of the Jones shipping bill and said hat he had in troduced bill annulling them
 The delegate declared himself in favor of the White fisheries bill, abolishing traps in bays and estuar ies and for distances of three miles therefron1. He found a historical pre- cedent for the abolition of traps in the Magma Charta in which he said weirs and traps were prohibited in the Thames River. Europe, he declared, has progressed in it's fishery legisla- tion, but America has stood still AS the result of this, salmon runs still occur in the rivers of Great Britain and Scotland and the Rhine and Gar onne Rivers in Germany, Nature, he asesrted, has taken care of Taku Inlet by reproducing conditions making it impossible to use traps and seines. No appreciable diminution, he said, is ex- perienced in the runs of salmon there
 Regarding the halibut he said his position is unchanged in that; that he does not favor the forcing of the business from Prince Rupert to Ket- chikan, as he thinks that it would help Seattle more than any place.
 In closing, the delegate offered the suggestion that when President Hard ing visits Alaska this summer Cor dova select one of it's most represen tative and best informed citizens to present concisely to MT. Harding the needs of this section of the country. He believed that this was the best and possibly the only way in which any good would result.

He had been looking for odd Jobs
that evening. His Christmas money
was not very much, and he did want
to get just few Christmas presents
to give away. He had already made
some. If he could only get ten cents
now he would have enough. That
would buy his mothers present. He
wanted TO get her a pink carnation.
He had seen such beauties. and they
were ten cents apiece.
One of the men paid no attention to
him. The other fumbled at his
pocket. Here, don't be silly you'll

friend. "He really didn't do anything
He will think he can beg for any
thing. That's a bad influence you're
exerting." he muttered on, as the man
who had fumbled at his pocket drew
forth shiny ten-cent piece and gave

dark eyes lighted up in joy.

Mr.. Squirrel thought this an excel

1t all happened just as they had
hoped. When they approached the big
house across the road, there were the
children outdoors scattering crumbs
and grain. One boy was climbing
