Legends Say Mastodon
 Still Live In Alaska

Reports, both white and nat i've, of the finding of huge tracks or other evidences that the mammoth or mastodon still roam the vast, unexplored reaches of Alaska and North ern Canada, are frequent. Oc- casionally someone claims to have heard or caught sight of a gigantic beast. There is one legend to the effect that there is still an unnamed valley be- tween the Colville and Porcu-
 o;ne rivers, where natives claim to have discovered monster tracks and other evidences of some prehistoric animal roam ing about. A similar story at- taches to the Coppermine river

and the party made what is considered a record trip, from Herschel Island to Fairbanks.
 While coming dow the Por- .cupine river, the tr; iers saw literally hundreds .aogsands of caribou, the pa-.s s''-. yelling through vast herds of the an- inlals for days and days, the trail being so well broken by them as to make for fast travel.
 The herds were apparently working toward the upper Por- cupine this winter and the ln- dians along that stream were found to be enjoying a season Of unusual prosperity, having aa abundance of food. The travellers reported that fur animals and other wild life is abundant in the Porcupine country this year and the catch 5oT Arctic foxes has been unus- ually good.

 The outlook for an early meeting between Mike Me Tighe and his principal rival, Harry Greb, is considered anything but promising by the sporting scribes. Greb is pre- pairing to visit the Pacific coast to engage in a number of bouts before tackling the tough Nc Tighe. Tex Rickard has been yainly attempting to match the pair.
 Somehow it reminds us of that old saying, "One's afraid and the other dassent, for the re- 'doubtable Mike appears no more anxious to tangle with Greb than the latter is to risk his title while the easy pickings last. However it is a poor ad for the game when the champs and near champs betray obvious desire to keep away from the real tough birds. Down in the benighted Argentine they compel reluctant champions to meet challenging opponents or fo rfeit their title, all of which indicates that the Argentinians have no regard for the com mercial aspects of box-fight- ing

II understand from the factory
that the 1924 schedule calls for -

This new Hudson coach is fin
ished ia an attractive dark blue.
The exterior appearance is enhanced
! By doGbe mouIdings which extend
! around the belt of the car IN such
a way as to set off the typical Hud-
son lines. The front of the ear is
helped by the new-stvlc windshield
| and the rear is made more attractive
with a trunk rack.
1.-THE interior is trimmed with an
upholstery that Is usually seen only
in the very expensive ears. There
is six inches more space between the
front and rear seats than in the pre-
vious coach. Seat are lower and
more comfortable. There is con
siderably more headroom. The steer
ing vision is enlarged and bettered
