GOETHALS APPROVES PROJECT.

The Pend O'Reille gravity project
for irrigating l,753,000 acres Of Co.
nmbia basin lands is declared feas-
ible by Gen. Geo. w. Goethals in his
report on that big undertaking. Gen.
Goethals favors the gravity system
over the Columbia dam and pumping
proposal on the ground that the area
to be irrigated by the gravity system
will be the greater and the cost per
acre slightly less for construction and
considerably less for maintenance. He
estimates the construction cost at
$254.17O,35l, or $145.56 per acre, and
declares that the construction of this
vast enterprise is even more import
ant to the country than the building
of the Panama canal and that it
should be nationally financed.

BOTH TEAMS IN GOOD FORM FOR
 TONICHT'S GAME:
Basketball Squads Ready to Go-Came to Be Called
 at 8 O'Clock Tonight.

Both the Juneau City team and the Douglas Fire Department squad at the close of signal practice last nigh claimed to be ready for the third contest between them, which is to h3 Ilaved this evening at A. B. Hall Both are confident of winning.
 The City teams signal work last night was the best of the year, al though Sabn WAS on the sick list and unable to attend. Sabin was able to be around today, but it is doubtful If he will get in tonight's game. Ills absence may prove to be a handicap to the City. Sperling, however is go- ing good at forward and if he is able to finish the game, that posi- ton will not be weakened on ac- count of Sabin's absence.
 The Bremen have added to their roster of players since the last gam was played and has announced 10 definite lineup. Just how they will enter the game is doubtful. but they will have their strongest team of the season to draw on.
 With the series standing one all, tonight's game is expected to be the most hard fought played on the Channel this year Both teams are anxious to go into the fourth and final contests with the advantage Of game to the good and both are de- termined to get that game tonight. Apparently the two outfits are even. ly matched and the game will fur nish a real treat to the hoop fans

DRAKE'S RELAYS
 MAY INTERFERE
 WITH PENN PLAN
East and West to Have Meet on Same Day During
 Coming Season.

DIES MONIES, Feb 8.-Setting oi the date for tho Drake relays, classic of the Middle Western outdoor track season, Cn the same day as the Penn games in Philadelphia, was not aimed IS direct boycott by Western in stitutions Of the famous Eastern games.
 Kenneth L. Wilson, director of ath letics at Drake, told the United Pres. the management of the local relays wanted to avoid a conflict, but no other suitable date could be worked into the Western outdoor track schedule
 "Any other date" Wilson declared, would make the Western track season too long, and Big Ten coaches would not agree to that arrange ment"
 The question of the conflict be tween the two important relay games was brought before the conference coaches at annual meeting in Chi cago At that time most of them promised to patronize Drake at ths expense of a trip to the Atlantic Coast
 Illinois Team to Compete
 Coach Harry Gill Of the University 1f Illinois, whose t93m won two ot the major relay events at Penn las season, will take full forces to Drake. Wilconsin, Michigan. Chicago, other leaders of the Big Ten, also plan to pass up Penn this season.
 There is considerable sentiment in tha Middle West fayoring the de yelopment of meet which will be as nopllar in future as the Penn games Mentors point out that the West haa conquered the East in track when ever the two sections met during the past few years. They believe. there fore that the East should recognize this by entering Western meets.
 With the exception of few seat tered entries in the Illinois ind09i relay carnival few Eastern squad have competed on Big Ten tracks.
 Win Break Into Promoting
 The Drake relays this season wil' be the Vests first organized attempt to develop national meet, which will attract contestants from all sec tions of the country. That, in large measure, explains the refusal to gc to Penn.
 Another reason is the expense o' sending a full track team to Phila delphia. without receiving some e% pense money. Drake is to divide gatf proceeds on a pro rata basis among all teams, according to tho distance they travel. This reduces expsndi lures to a minimum, and is especial ly alluring to the coaches.
 Special features have been added tf he Drake games, with an idea of at .racting the nations best runners Watches and gold medals will go te the winners.
 Don't Have to Copy
 There are so many good tracl men in the West that we no longe7 need follow and copy the East Wi son added. but are big enough II hold great Western relay meet.
 '"The expense of taking a tean East also are very high, and Penf never has offered to share the bur den
 There is TO hard feeling betweei the Big Ten and the East, but con | ference members feel they should no , be required to go East year afte lyear without Eastern teams repayh' 1 these visits"
 Drake is the Vests big trial. l 1 if succeeds. the East must meet Yves on Western tracks.
