 REAL PROHIBITION NEAR

WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 28- In Christmas message broadcasted to the Friends of the Eighteenth amendment" Prohibition Commis- sloner Haynes says: Be of good cheer"

kOYUKUk GRUB IS SHORT
 MUST HAUL FROM ALATNA

Recent arrivals in Nenana from the Koyukuk district report ser ious shortage of provisions in the far northern camp. such as seriously handicap mining operations. This shortage, i is explained, resulted from the inability of the steamer Teddy H. to reach the upper Kov- ukuk river on the last trip of the season. The boat was compelled by low water to discharge cargo at Alatna, considerably more than 100 miles below the Koyukuk mining district, and residents of that sec tion are compelled, in consequence, to haul their supplies up the river that distance, which adds greatly to their cost.
 The situation has been further complicated by the removal of the only horses in the camp to the Chandlar district, early in the sea- son, dogs now affording the only means of transportation.
 The arrivals state that aN number of important articles of food are listed among the shortages, flour be- ing one item. This scarcity of sup plies will not result in any suffer ing, for Koyukukers are resourceful oldtimers and if they must go without one article of food, they will manage to get along on some thing else, if necessary. But winter mining will be held back by the shortage, for not many operators in that distrct feel inclined 10 work their ground under the circumstan- ces. The cost of supplies there under normal conditions, is all but prohi- bitive.

The Texas Christian Advocate, in a recent article on the Alaska Agri- cultural College and School of Mines says in part: Just look at Alaska and reflect that the natives build houses out of snow and call them Igloos. and crawl into them and sleep in their clothes through nights six months long, saying their prayers only when they go to bed on the first of July and forgetting their devotions until they say grace al breakfast on the first of January. |" To which the Valdez Miner replies as follows:
 "It is possible that the Texas Christian Advocate may be an ex- cellant guide in matters theological but in others particularly those relating to Alaska. doesn't cut a whole lot of ice. If the editor of the Advocate believes the nights are six months long in Alaska he at least should have continued his investigations to the extent of find ing out during what part of the year such nights occur. Perhaps the Al askans are not as we'll educated as he might be, but he is not fool en- ough to go to bed on the first of July when the days are 24 hours long.
 Our advice to the editor of the Ad vocate is that he stick to theology. In other matters he IS somewhat lacking."

self, took on Jack Sharkey last night,
a boxer near his own weight, and en-
joyed a fine workout.
Sharkey, touted as coming feather
weight. and bristling with confidence
since his draw with Vincent Pepper"
Martin, was cowed as soon as the first
bell rang and spent most of the Is
rounds covering his face with both
hands, or running away from the fast
moving Dundee.
Several times Sharkey took heart
and swung heavily from his shoetops,
once sending Johnny into a spin. but
each of his few rallies so tired him
that he seemed helpless. So disap-
pointed was the crowd that many left
before the finish, and those who re-
NAMED stayed only to boo.
1t was Dundee's 566th fight. He
sent Sharkey to the floor for short
count in the fourth and the rest of
the time pursued his ambling oppon-
ent, raining blows from both hands
to head and body whenever he caught
up. Dundee weighed in at 129 and
Shawkey at 1872.

BILLY THE DEPENDABLE

That's Mr.. Sherdell, the pitching ace

these days. With more satisfactory
and constant work from his entire
pitching staff Branch Hickey could
give the Giants neck and neck race
for the flag this year. AS it is Billy
Sherdell is about tho only moundsman
who can be counted on to turn in a
victory at regular intervals.
This is Billy's fifth season with the
Cards and bids fair to be his banner
year.
Sherdel1, a Pennsylvania lad, broke
into baseball with the Hanover, Blue
Ridge league in 1915. He fairly burn
ed up that circuit for two years, win
ming % games while losing but 10 in
the two>seasons.
Milwaukee then bought him. His
first year in the A. A. he failed to
make an impression. The following
season he won 10 and lost 16 games
for the Brewers.
He was turned over to the Cardinals
in the spring of 1918 under a player
agreement between the two clubs. His
first year up he won six and lost II
games. The following season five wins
and nine defeats was the best he could
do. Then he entered the winning
class by narrow margin, coping II
out of 81 in 1920 and nine out of II
last season.
He is a southpaw and was born in
Hanover, Pa, Aug. Is, 1896.

cabin far away in the backwoods No
