|VINCENTINO SAID
 | ID POSSESS KAYO
New Firpo Of LightWeights Is
 Real Hard Hitter
BY JOE WILLIAMS

These South Americans. apparently do not believe in letting the left hand know what the right is doing in the prize ring.
 For all the value it is to him Senor Luis Firpo could trade his left hand for pair of barbed wire suspenders and be far ahead on the transaction. 1 Luis Vincentino, lightweight cham pion of Chile, is another box-fghting visitor who operates on the theory that when in doubt, swing the right. And Luis is generally in doubt. | Senor Vincentino, like his shaggy haired compatriot, manipulates l highly destructive right hand. ] crushing punch delivered at short distances. He hits straight with it, Ia Carpenter and Ritchie, and crosses it as well. There is an absence of the clubbing effect, such as Firpo uses.
 Vincentino is younger than Firpo and is schooling himself in American ] fighting forms. I saw him knock l out q pretty fair puncher in Jimmy Carroll in the east recently and he shaped up like a promising basler. cne who in time may become posi- l tive menace to the Leonards, Morans and Dundees of the day. Right now. Of course. he is as far | away from championship form as MT zbyszko is from Miss ravloNa in | point of exquisite grace. NinCCnt ntiao 1 has the same serious fault ut Eirpo in that hc leads with his right hand l This ia not being done in our best Queensberry circles. Entil he cor 1 rects this fault he had best stay away from the smart lads, who are quick 10 capitalize enemy defects. Nineentino is fast, both on his feet | and with his hands. He has d strk- ingly small jaw and keeps |, well buried and out of harms reach, H. is impressive in his raw state on hc- count Of his splendid right hand punch.

 Al the present time Niaceniino him. self can do little moro than hit. How far he will get in the ring business depends entirely on the ease and nn- turalness with which he adjusts him- self to advanced forms of fighting. tln will need more than just a right hand. This is the day Of the two. handed fighter.

ROOSEVELT HIGHWAY
 NEARLY COMPLETED

DULUTH. Minn., April 1S.-The last link in the 4.060 miles of high way connecting Portland, Me, and Portland, Ore, a permanent living memorial to Theodore Roosevelt, whose name it bears. is expected to be completed when its fifth year of construction has passed, next Feb ruary.
 One-Hlfth of the stretch remains : to be worked. Approximately $21,- ] 100000 has been spent since the high way was designated, according to A. i w Tracy of Duluth, executive secre- tary, more than s6,0OO,000 of which was allotted last year. The money has come from county, state and national road funds.
 i The highway now is virtually all marked In the 13 northern states through which it passes and has been improved to 82.9 per cent. either graveled or hard surfaced. The as- sociation has cooperated, but not competed, with every legitimate high way and good roads organization dur ing its construction, and has been endorsed by civic organizations along the route.
 The association was organized Feb ruary IT, 1919, as a memorial to Theo- dore Roosevelt, to provide north ern trans-continenta highway.

The picture is a classic in the manufac- ture of goose-flesh and tho raising of hair. and the audience enjoyed huge ly enough excitement and surpris to last "a long time.
 Bill Patton, who cares as much for his neck as a millionaire does for nickel, did most of the thrilling He rescued Dixie Lamont, who shared honors with him, at the brink of a waterfall did amazing things on horseback, and, for good measure, dropped from a cliff to a racing car And he had time to take part in a very pretty romance.
 Alias Phil Kennedy is one of the best Westerns shown here in some time. It has mystery. good plot and humor-a blend hard to beat.

SCORE OF SONG HITS IN OPERA
 ON TOMORROW
Comic Opera Tomorrow at Coliseum Is damned Full
 of Big Musical Numbers

"Eyerybody will be doing it,' ae- cording to former popular phrase, when the first night of "The Garden of the Shah" is over at the Coliseum tomorrow night. That means that everybody will leave the theater whistling or humming some one of the 26 popular musical numbers in the three-act comic opera.
 The Garden of the Shah" has so many popular solos. duets and trios that it is hard to pick out any spe- cial one and elaborate on the merit There are waltz time selections, two steps and "let'er go' time.
 The principals have more selections to make pronounced hits, than are possibly contained in any three other comic operas combined The writers of the music of the comic opera seemed to have let themselves loose on this one and presented musical hits without number.
 Of the eight principals, all have separate chances of making hits as

all have solos, several three or four, and all are in duets and trios.
 There is plot of an up-to-date or der upon which the song hits are hung.
 Besides the principals, the large chorus has splendid opportunity to be heard in ensemble numbers which are also classy.
 Irene Nelson has the leading role among the girls of the cast. and sev- eral solos of ncte; Legia Kashevaroff plays the part of her friend and has song hits, and Mrs. Alaska Y. Klein schmidt is going to surprise her many friends in an eccentric comedy role. William Fry and J. B. Bernhofer play the American roles and are go- ing to put over songs that are bound to please. Wilfred J. Leivers has the comedy role and batter songs. w. c. Culver, as the Sheik, and Grover Davis as the Shah. have roles that will stand well out to the front. Both have much vocal work to do, besides working in the ensemble numbers.
 Special costumes have been made for all members of the cast as well as the chorus and the entire produc' tion is built right up to professional requirements.
 The specialties are also going tc prove hits and in one of them the audience will have little part but this must be kept for the nights Ol \ the show.
 The tickets are selking rapidly. not withstanding the advance in price owing 10 the added heavy expense caused in making a most pretentious production.
 The performance will begin sharply at o'clock on the nights of pre- sentation. tomorrow and Friday, and will run about two hours.

the supply. ''If you do not do some the next Legislature meets two years from now. The fish will be all gone,' he asserted.
 MT Robertson and MT. Faulkner presented written statements to the committee showing records of profits or losses made by various packers in Territorial waters during the past four years. These were com. piled. it was explained. from the records of the Territorial Treasurer's s office. This was as far back as those records went, prior to that time no statements being required from tho companies of their profits by the Territory.
 Claims Local Benerits
 MT. Buschmann expressed surprise at the schedules. Most of the can ners, particularly in Southeastern Al aska. he said. are on the edge of bankruptcy or vory near it and the proposed taxes would be a fatal han dicap. Should they be forced out of business not only would the Ter ritory suffer tho loss of revenue, but business in Alaska generally would suffer therefrom. He present. ed statement showing the expcndi- lures from the Port Althorp plant last season. This included Alaska fishermen. principally natives, 22 crews being employed at times dur ing the season. $21,5547S; local In dian help, men only. exclusive of fishermen, $4,255.95; Indian women, $1.691.50; other native help men and women. $8098.50; local white labor CTS from Juneau and Hoonah. s12,- 30382; winter watchman and ex- penses at cannery. s1,020.84; Ferris torial taxes, including seine. gillnet and trap licenses, and school taxes, S6,901 AZ; Alaska Federal taxes. $2,74988 Alaska purchases. includ- ing fresh meat. groceries, hardware, lumber and miscellaneous other sup plies and expenses, $8,351.21; a com bined total of the above items of $66,927.90.
 In addition, according to the same statement, if Alaska sawmills had sufficient capacity to furnish all Al aska canneries with box shocks, the Port Althorp canncry in 1922 would have expended for that purpose $11,- 000 The total amount of money expended through Juneau banks last season was $43,301.41. Tho total paid white laborers from Seattle was $21, ,2S5.69.
 Price Is Limited
 The market absorption of salmon, he said in answer to a question, is largely governed by the prices pre- vailfng. The prices at which fish will move are limited and for every raise in price of , cents per dozen there is a corresponding decrease in sales. Pinks and chums are the food of poor people and when they go above reasonable figure. these turn to a less expensive food.
 The cost of packing this season, said MT. Buschmann. would be from 10 to IS per cent greater than last year as a result of higher cost of materials, labor and fish. He de clined to make an estimate on the cost of packing red fish in the Al. aska Peninsula and Bristol Bay dis tricts. saying it would be a matter of guess,work, adding that he had heard in a general way it had cost about $8 per case last season.

He denied that local cannery with limited output was more beneficial to the community than a larger one. He compared tho operation of the Long cannery on Douglas Island with the Libby.

 He said the schedules were prob ably all right on the smaller packs but not high enough on the larger ones and urged that a tax of 8 per case on all packs in excess of 40.000 cases. He frankly oontended that the Territory would benefit by fore ing companies not content to pack under that limit out of the field in that it would result in opening it up to small operators. build up a local canning industry The big packers have not aided the Territory industrially and their operations have not resulted in building single com munity, he said.
