CAPT.FINNECAN GIVES REASONS
 FOR SHUTDOWN
Over-productlon of Oil Causes Associated Oil to Sus-
 pend, Is Claimed.

The closing down of the Asso- ciated Oil Companys drilling opera tions in the Kanatak oil fields is due solely to the circumstance that over production of oil in California and elsewhere has made it so that there is no immediate anxiety to bring in a new field and the company has compiled with the requirements of the Government and it's contracts with those who hold lease from the Government, according to Capt. John j. Finnegan, who was in Juneau yes terday while the Admiral Watson was in port, on his way to the South. It means nothing else to the oil country except a slight reduction in the payroll. said Capt. Finnegan, for the Standard Oil Compay is continuing development work
 Capt Finnegan said the Associated Oil Company is so well pleased with the outlook in the Kanatak field that it Is extending its holdings in addi- tion to retaining all that it has ac- quired The titles under which it holds have been perfected. and it is prepared to continue drilling under the terms of its contract next year.
 The Standard oil Company is con tinuing it's drilling with an excellent outfit.
 Capt Finnegan is making a hur- ried business trip to the outside. He expects to return north within a few weeks. With Mrs. Finnegan and the boys he spent two weeks at Seward and Anchorage and was present at the entertainment of the President and the members of his party at both places. Mrs. Finnegan and the boys returned to Kodiak on the Admiral Watson.

 DISCUSSED
Commissioner Tigert Takes Up Question with Supts.
 Government Schools.

A market for the government reindeer was the most important issue discussed at the conference of ment school district In Alaska and U. s. Commissioner of Education Ti- gert, at Anchorage last week, ac- cording to c. w. Hawkesworth, sup erintendent of Government Schools in this district. MT.

 The superintendents from Nome and the Kuskokwim stated that they have more reindeer meat avail able at the present time then can be shipped. The U. S. Burau of Edu- cation ship Boxer is equipped to take out small cargo only. The necessity of refrigerators capable of handling large meat shipments was pointed out in the discussion, as a means of solving the problem.
 Several minor matters concerning the system of education was also taken up.
 ."The conference was not for dis cussing important measures in the work in Alaska so much as a get together meeting for the U. s. Com missioner of Education and the su- perintendents in Alaska said MT. Hawkesworth.
 Mr Hawkesworth said President Harding was greatly impressed by the sight of the reindeer herds which he viewed while he rode on the Government railroad. from Cur " to Fairbanks. There were 1.200 reindeer along the railroad tracks when the Presidential party passed. The President was intensely inter- ested with the future of the rein deer industry. MT. Hawkesworth said. Commissioner Tigert. w. T. Lopp. superintendent of the U. S Bureau of Education in Alaska and MT. Hawkesworth. talked with the President on the trip to Fairbanks and were with him when they pass ed the herds.
 Theodore Honour. secretary to Commissioner Tigert, accompanied Mir. Hawkesworth to Juneau and continued on to Ketchikan. enroute to Metlakatla. He will spend sev- eral days there to investigate present conditions This investigation is the result of a request made to Secre- tary. Work by the Metlakatla Town Council. for an investigation of af- fairs Mir. Hawkesworth said.
 Mr. Hawkesworth will leave on tho Northwestern for Metlakatla where he will join MT Honour. He expects to be absent from Juneau osvcral weeks.

OLD, OLD TIMER COMES BACK TO
 STAY IN NORTH
George Allard, 49 Years Tn Alaska, Returns-Three
 Months Outside Enough

After living in Alaska, chiefly at Sitka, for 49 years, George Allard, S5 years of age. with the stature and yigor of q man of 50 made a trip to the States and stood it just three months, then he slipped quietly aboard the steamer Queen at Seattle for his home and chicken ranch at Sitka.
 I've made my first trip to the States since "A, said MT. Allard, who visited in Juneau while the Queen was in port Saturday, "and hope I'm never found dead outside Alaska.
 Folks called me the young old man where I was visiting with my daughter near Belingham, Wash, and I am young because 1 don't feel old. Ten years ago a physi- clan told me I could live to be 100 years old and I'm beginning to be- lieve him. But I'm going to live to that 100 years, right here in AL aska"
 MT. Allard is tall and but slightly stopped, with ruddy checks and bright young eyes that twinkle as he talks. He has remarkable memory and is witty in his conyer- sation with a keen sense of humor and a readiness to laugh.
 "I always laugh" he said, ''it keeps me young-laughing and smoking I smoke lots of tobacco in my old pipe"
 Active and able to carry on the work of a man 30 years his junior, MT Allard expects to go into the chicken raising business again, when he reaches Sitka.
 "Yes. and another thing" he re- marked, I'm not worn out because never did get the gold fever. was in Stka when the big news came of the gold find where Juneau is now located Dick Harris and Joe Juneau, who founded the town of Juneau. were in my place. I ran a pool hall, getting their stuff to- gether while waiting for the tide, the night they left Sitka. They wanted me to go with them and promised me the biggest place of business in the new camp but I was doing well at Sitka and did not make the move.
 And I'm just as well satisfied Gold is all right but too much is bad. I'd be satisfied to reach into my pocket and pull out $2e bill if I happened to need it and then when it was gone to get out another, but that's enough to keep any mar happy
 You know I'm going home in cognito. When l left Sitka 1 had q long white beard and looked older than I am. Befroe I left the States had it taken off and 1 know I'll never be recognized. But I want to surprise everybody or when l let made the wise remark so many do that I was never coming back. suggested to few of my friends that l might return sometime and they will all have the laugh on me but I don't mind that so long as I am home again"

NIGH SCHOOL TEAMS BATTLE AT SOUTH RIVER THIS
PERTH AMBOY FIVE MADE
ENWABLE RECORD WITH
So WINS AND 16 DEFEATS

The Perth Amboy Five with a re-
cord of thirty-eight victories and
sixteen defeats out Of q total Of If
ty-four games played this season
have compiled a record that they
can indeed be proud of and that will
doubtless stand as a mark for future
quintets to aspire to.
Of the hfty-four contests engage
ed in by the local representatives,
who lay claim to the New Jersey
Independent Title, twenty-nine have
been against New Jersey teams, from
which tussels the Amboy outfit have
emerged victorious twenty-five times
and losing but seven games. OF the
twenty-five games played against
New York clubs, fourteen have re-
suited in victories and eleven in de-
feats.
The local color bearers annexed
seven put of the eight series of
games engaged in with the best
New Jersey combinations and broke
even with the Jersey City Big Five
in the two games played. The Jersey
City dribblers disbanded before the
deciding game could be played.

exception of the Wintons, of Jer-
sey City, and the local Speedways

The Wintons turned up q defeat
against the Auditorium performers
in an extra five minute period with
the doughty Dave Banks il their
lineup. The exorbitant guarantee
that the Wintons demanded for a re-
turn game was the reason why the
local magnates did not rebook the
team. The Speedways with Lopchiek
and Banks in their lineup, downed
the colors of the Amboy netmen in
a hard fought battle.
Out of five series with New York
quintets. the local suction shod war
riors won three, tied n and lost in
one series to the Original Celtics.
The Commonwealth Big Five, New
York's colored champions, were de-
feated in four of the five matches
between these two outfits. The Junto
Big Five broke eve by winning and
losing n game to the locals while
the Worlds Champion Original Gel
tics was the only basketball team TO
defeat the Perth Amboy dribblers

The local favorites travelled to for
eign courts twelve times and were re-
| contests. Newark, Jersey City, Har-
rison, Asbury Park and Roosevelt
saw the local courtsters in action
and New York saw them perform five
times.
Practically every contest played by
the locals was a closely contested
one, Of the games being decided by
differences in score ranging from
