BASKETBALL GAME
 AT RINK TONIGHT
High School and Town Team Will Tangle in Their Second Encounter of the Season

Since the reorganization of the town team the two teams have bat tied nearly every night on even terms, each team winning it's share of the contests. A close game is predicted with the verdict going to the one that breaks. A lucky night for Prescott will spell ruin for the youngsters.
 The game will begin promptly at eight o'clock and will be under the eagle eye of Eddie Lynch, both teams having accepted him as ref fierce. The admission price will be fifty cents, one half dollar for the adults, and twenty-five cents for those who are still below their teens.
 Wrangell has been passed up this winter by the basketball teams of the Territory, but that need not de- ter anyone from witnessing real game tonight The High School and the Town team are to angle in their second encounter of the sea- son. A better game than the first. when the High School lads romped away from the Town team. is assur- ed.
 The Town team has almost an en- tirely new lineup, and the results are evident. A reorganization has taken place with B. M. Dodge as captain, and he is bold enough to say that with even breaks the Old Timers will have things their own way. Dodge is said to be one of the best lay back guards that has ever been on the Wrangell court. He stops his man before he gets to the basket, and is tall enough to inter- cept many passes. Thanking him on the other side of the court is Be- selly, of the High School faculty. The forward positions are well taken care of by Hank Bowman and Mickey Prescott who has been made over from a guard, and whose shoot ing the last few weeks has been phe- nomenal. The center position of the team is it's weakest, but it is ex- pected that Scribner and Duke Carl son will be able to handle their own with Coulter, the High Schools best bet.
 The High School is handicapped | by the loss of Gunderson, the flashy forward, but his place is being filled more or less successfully by Des- mond. The trouble with this young giant is that he is still awkward and leaves a trail of destruction af- ter him every time he goes down the floor. Loftus is playing good game and is working harder than at the first of the season, as he doesn't
 have Gunderson to depend upon now. Engstrom and Grant are play
 ling their usual steady, consistent
 game at the guard positions, and are
 playing the floor better than at any time this season.

OLD FASHIONED SONG FEST
 PLANNED BY DR. OWEN

At the first evening service held lat the Presbyterian church after the return of Dr. Diven, it was an- nounced that an old fashioned song festival would be held in the church parlors Friday evening. Dr. Diven announced that young lady, whose name he withheld, had offered to lead the community sing in some of the old, homely, yet standard hymns and songs. ~"
 This course of action is direct follow-up of the suggestions of Captain Dancey in his recent Amer icanization campaign. He urged, for the betterment of the commu nifty, and larger conception of civic sentiment, that song fests be held at regular intervals. Dr. Diven is planning along the same lines. If the response is great enough to merit holding the gatherings in larger room than the church par Tor, it has been arranged to take over a downtown hall.

DAWSON MAY HAVE SHELTER

According to the Anchorage AL askan. Dawson has prospects for a shelter if suitable coal can be found conveniently near. w. s. Mcfarland, mining engineer of the Ma 70 district who recently passed through An chorage on his way to the States, stated that plans are under way for the construction of a shelter to han dle low grade galena ores from the Mayo district. Under present condi- tions it is not profitable to handle much of the ore found in that dis trict because of the great cost of transportation to the smelters in the States. Shipments are necessarily limited to the higher grade galenas.
 Last season close to 10000 tons were shipped by way of Anchorage by the Treadwell and Keno Ltd companies who are the only shippers in the district.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

(Seattle POSt-lntelllSencerJ
 Federal restriction of salmon fish ing in all yaters of Alaska and fed eral inspection of canned salmon and all other canned products were indorsed by salmon canners of the Northwest in a largely attended ses- sion at the Hotel New Washington January 4. Daniel Campbell of Bellingham. president of the Asso- citation of Pacific Fisheries, pre- sided.
 The creation of local fishing re- serves in the Aleutian Islands and in Southwestern Alaska two years ago aroused a storm of protest from purse seiners, operators of floating canneries- and small packers, who declared it gave the larger canneries monopoly. Congressional Dele gate Dan Sutherland has taken an active stand on the side of the ob- jectors to the fishing reserves.
 The salmon canners yesterday by resolution, declared belief that federal restriction of salmon fishing in Alaska is vitally necessary tc conserve this resource. The reserve idea is embodied in the White bill now before congress. It gives thu department of commerce the author ity to say when, how and where sal mon can be taken in any of thu waters of Alaska, if at all.
