SEEK RETREAT OF
 CARIBOU HERDS

Among the missions Dr. Ralph Smith and his associate geologists and topographers will combine with their exploration of the Colville river basin this summer will be an effort to determine the migratory habits of the caribou and where he hides him. self when journeying north.
 Gerald Fitz Gerald. topographer with the exploration party made in Iquiries around Point Barrow in an effort to elicit information as to the habits of the animals when on the Arctic slope, but, he says, he was un- able to glean any authentic informa- ltion. He is sure the animals do not finger to the west of the Colville river, but hopes to encounter evil jdence to the east of the great stream that will shed some light on the mat ter.
 While in the north both Dr. Smith and MT. Fitz Gerald will study the fossil remains found in the rocks of the region and thereby hope to con meet up the chain of circumstantial evidence indicating that the man. moth or mastodon roamed far into the Arctic before a catacvlsm of na- ture overwhelmed them and extin- guished them from the earth Among the legends they will en- deavor to trace to their origin are those to the effect that there is still an unnamed valley between the Col vile and Porcupine rivers in which
 natives claim to have discovered monster tracks and evidence of soma species of prehistoric mammal wall dering around. There are regions
 into which it is impossible to per suade an Arctic coast Eskimo to ven ture owing to these legends.
 A similar condition is ascribed to the Coppermine river region of Can ada, where two missionary priests
 were killed in 1915. Among the evi .dence adduced at the trial of two Els kimos who did the killing was that to the effect that the priests tried to force them to cross the enchanted country, or where the big beasts roamed. The same story was told in connection with the killing of Rad we'll, the American explorer, in the barren region between the head waters of the Chipman river and the Coppermine river.
 While the exploration party con sider the matter as a myth they will said pr. Smith, keep an .ve opc n fo" any evidence indicating the la stand of the mammoth whose bones are, from time to time, unearthed in placer mining.

TIGER FLOWERS WINS FROM

Atlanta, Ga. July ia slashing,

Flowers, of Georgia, last Thursday
night at the Auditorium turned the
face of Lee Anderson, New York,
claimant of the worlds lightweight
championship, into a mis-shaped, CORY
man and then was robbed of fair
fight decision by repeated fouls by
The fight became two battles, when
Anderson.
in the sixth round, Bill Kaliska, ref
cree, raised the tigers" right hand
to signify his victory on a foul, and
the "riger" refused to take it. That
officially ended the fight, boxing COM
mission members declared afterwards,
but it was not until the eleventh
round, that Flowers, badly hurt by
Anderson's repeatedly foul blows, ac-
copied a shadowy victory. Anderson
will carry bac kto New York with
him a story of losing on fouls that
will sound much better than a yarn
of being blinded in one eye, then in
both, and finally beaten to a pulp by
Flowers, but the crowd that saw the
slaughter, by it's Kisses and jeers, be-
slowed on Anderson the well-earned
title of champion fouler of the world.

The meeting was presided over by

Judge Southall, sitting with him was
Hon. E. H. Wells, Judge of Hastings
Court, Part II, of the City of Rich
mond. Among those speaking were
Attorneys D. L. Pulliam, VIM. F. Den

Judge E. H. Wells and Mr.. Benjamin
Owens. 1t will be noted with keen
interest that one of the most effective
addresses made in the meeting was
! delivered by Attorney VIM. F. Den
ny. The high spots in Mr.. Denny's
address were as follows:
"Mr. Chairman, members of the
bench and bar and friends: I count it
great privilege to be permitted to
second the motion made by Mr.. Pull
liam asking that the resolutions first
read be adopted and spread upon the
records of this court, copy of same
be sent to the members of the family,

speak, not as an individual represent
ing any little group, but as member
of the bar.
| want to mention some Of the
great human qualities Of our depart
ed friend, which enabled him to stand
out among the foremost men of his
day. He was gentle, kind and APP
proachable. He was loved because he
loved the poor and helped the needy,
as l speak to you now with a heavy
heart, l am sure that all of Amelia
county has bowed heads with me re-
vering his memory and that is not
confined to any particular class or
group, but comprises all of the citi-
zens there. He presided over the 4th
judicial Circuit twelve years, and of
fifty-two cases appealed from his de-
cisions only two of them were re-
versed by the Supreme Court of APP
peals and one of those was the case
of Chas. Green, who was tried in this
court and was represented by me. 1t
appears that he was not reversed on
question of law at any time, but
upon question of fact then Virginia
white and black feels a pang of re-
greet in the passing of citizen so
valuable and lovable. Mr.. T. F. Arch
er, real estate broker of Richmond,
got up large party of our race to
attend his funeral in the little Pros
byterian cemetery at Amelia, but on
account of the stormy weather we
could not attend, we are sorry and
now we can but say peace to his ashes,
We commend his soul to the God who
gave it,

Athletic ability doesn't draw the
color line!
There's 10 racial corner on champ
ions!
Not many days ago this writer sat
in the grandstand watching col
ored baseball team play ball. Several
members of the champion Yankees
watched the game, too, and marveled
at the dexterity and ease with which
the colored boys handled the ball.
''You know" one of the players
finally remarked, "if colored men
were taken into the big leagues
they'd soon be the stars of the game
They play naturally; they have base
ball instinct.
OF course, the player referred to
the best of the colored athletes. But
the best of the colored players are
of big league calibre, the same as
the best players of other more IA
yored races.
Time was, few years ago, when
the Irish were looked upon as the
most athletic race existent. Those
days are gone. For athletic ability
knows no racial or national distinct
ion. >EfsS 81
Look over the list of colored ath-
leteS.
Where will you find better boxers
than Joe Cans, or Sam Langford, or
Jack johnson?
Where better athletes than Drew,

ward marvel?
