PARIS: The Olympic games for 1924 may not be held in Paris, owing to the city voting onely one million francs instead of the promised ten million, and the councils insistence that the games be held in Pershing stadium to which the Olympic com mittee absolutely refuses to consent on the ground that the field is totally inadequate for such sports.

Mears was absent from Washington when the hearing was had and when he returned Chairman Curry inquired of him if the $100,000 would be suffi- cient to properly handle the situation. Colonel Mears is of the situation that $100.O00 is insufficient and upon the recommendation of Chairman Curry the Alaskan Engineering Commission will detail an engineer to make a care full study of the conditions and make an estimate of the cost to take care of the stream for all time Colonel Mears declared he believed there would be no trouble to get whatever funds would be needed.
 The latest news with reference to the proposed trip of the President this summer is very hopeful The Presi- dent and Mrs. Harding are both deter mined to make the trip and the only thing that will prevent them is that congress remains in session over the summer. At any event Secretary Fall will come north this summer and be will be accompanied by number of Senators and other government off,
 cials.
 The cut in the Naval appropriation forced the Navy to abandon the min ing of coal. This will be turned over to the Interior Department and Direc- tor Bain of the Bureau of Mines will come next month to look over the field.
 The frs teffort of the department will
 be to interest private capital in the development of the mines and if this fails the Government will go ahead with the undertaking. Secretary Fall
 has taken a personal interest in the
 Alaska Railroad and Alaska in general and he is making it his special effort | to bring the Territory to the top There is no question but that Alaska ! is going ahead under the efforts of the present administration to develop the Territory.
 The informal talk which Col. Mears l made to the Chamber was well receiv-
 ed by those present and his report of
 the progress made recently at Wash l ington toward the betterment Of cor ! ditions in Alaska was most encourag-
 ing. The Colonel's presence Tn Wash
 ington during the critical moments i when the Administrations policy with ! regards to Alaska was forming was of
 great benefit to this section of Alaska l Seward is most thankful to Colonel
 Mears for his efforts in behalf of Low :! ell Creek project and the thanks oi ,; the city were extended to him by Act !, ing Mayor Ellsworth at the luncheon
 today.
 l MT. z. J. Loussac also made short ] address to the Chamber and urged co. operation advertising Alaska in the States with special stress placed or \ the coal resources of the Territory. A
 systematic and cooperative effort o1
 the towns in Alaska to spread the pro \ per kind of advertising, into every par1 of the United States is the one thing II that Alaska must do and MT. Loussat l suggests that the railroad towns lead Il off in this matter.

Col. MearS Guest of Honor at
 Chamber Commerce Luncheon
 Gives Outline Work at Capitol

Colonel Frederick Mears, Chairman of the Alaska Engineering Commis- sion, was guest of the Seward Cham Der of Commerce, at a luncheon given today in his honor.
 Colonel Mears has been absent in Washington for several months attend ing to matters relative to the Alaska Railroad and in general lending his aid and advice in matters before the ad- ministration at Washington with refer ence to Alaska in general
 In speaking of what was being done at Washington for the benefit of Alas ka, Colonel Mears stated that much credit must be given Governor Scott c. Bone, who has been at Washington, doing all in his power to bring about favorable treatment of Alaska, and ac- cording to Colonel Mears, great deal of credit must be given our Governor for what has been accomplished. Gov ernor Bone, besides being an able man and knowing how to get things done, is also the personal friend of the Pres ident and others high in the Admins tration and he has thrown his entire personality into the effort to break down the bureaucratic red type binding Alaska and make it possible for capi- tai to enter the Territory. Colonel Mears paid high tribute to Governor Bone for his work in securing benefi- cial legislation for Alaska. T ]
 Colonel Mears went on to state a few of the important matters which had occupied his time at Washington. In the first place contracts were en- tered into with the American Railway Express extending it's service to Alas ka. The baggagemen of the Alaska Railroad will act as agents of the Elk press Company and the Alaska Rail road will have the same express sery ice as the railroads in the States. The joint tariff schedule was the chief ac- complishment of the Coloneps trip Under this new schedule the freigh rates to the Interior have been greatly lessened and by figuring the rates on a weight basis the shippers can always figure on what their freight will amount to on given shipment. The feature of the new tariff which permits the Interior merchant to ship freight from Seattle through Anchorage or Seward at the same rate, assuring him of a uniform freight rate the year around, has greatly pleased the Inte- rior merchant.
 With regard to the Lowell Creek project Colonel Mears had very hope ful news for Seward. The project was taken up at Washington and Col. . Mears with the assistance of Governor Bone, Colonel Steese and Delegate Sutherland secured the attention of Secretary Fall and Chairman Curry of the Territorial Committee with the result that the passage of the appro- priaiton is assured.
 At the hearing before the Territorial Committee Delegate Sutherland, Col onel Steese, General Richardson and Charles Brown appeared and testified urging the appropriation. Colonel

BABE RUTH PLAYING
GOLF TO ROUND OUT
SPRING CONDITIONING


CHICAGO, Feb. 23.--Golf has been
added to the curriculum for the con-
ditioning of baseball players, accord
ing to reports coming from the various
training camps of the major league
clubs. From Hot Springs, Ark. word
was received that Babe Ruth, the
home run king. lost little time getting
out his golf sticks and visiting the
links. The Yankee slugger is de-
voice Of the game and rarely misses
an opportunity to drive the little white
ball around the links. He swings nat
urally as he does in driving the base
ball out of the field, and has registered
some mighty long drives.
Eddie Collins, second baseman of
the Chicago White Sox. is another
athlete who enjoys a morning round
on the links, while Bill. Killefer, man
ager of the Chicago Cubs, who plays
an eighteen hole match with as much
enthusiasm as the most devoted golf
| fan, showed his love for the game
when he led a foursome around the
| links at Catalina island, the Cubs
\ training camp, the other day Rain
had prevented practice for the athletes
and Killefer got up the foursome
His charges donned their rain coats
and spent the day in hiking about
the links, studying the game of their
manager and the other golfers, in
Guiding Grover Alexander, the Cubs
premier pitcher, who is golfer Of
no mean ability.

mond high school basketball warriors

to be more lively by far.
Newcastle and Richmond will play
in their respective districts this year.
They will likely meet in the regional
tourney which will be held at Bloom
ington, if they win their district meets.
Therefore the winner of Fridays
tilt. will have the edge to go through
the regional and then to the state
tournament

been working his men with utmost
precaution, trying to overcome the
lapse which was evident in the Spice
land game, and present a smooth
working machine to do battle with
the Newcastle team.
Dope Set Out.
Newcastle has been defeated by
Rushville. who has in turn defeated
Richmond. Newcastle has won from
Hagerstown by a smaller margaln than
Richmond defeated the Hagerstowr
lads.
Even with the dope, the two teams
are evenly balanced and the winner
will have to extend to take the laurels
A good curtain-raiser is assured
which will start at 7:10 o'clock
Brownsville high school first team
will take on the local high schoo
