MANY PREPARED FOR
 RUSH INTO CASSIAR
(Juneau Empire)

The makings of a real stampede will be heading for the Cas6iar dis trict via the Stikine River at the op- ening of navigation on the stream iI a few weeks, according to c. W. Cheatham, Asst. District Engireet of the Bureau of Public Roads. who re turned here yesterday after a months visit to the States on official business. He was surprised at the extent of the interest being shown in the reported strike there late last Fall.
 It was estimated, MT. Cheatham said, that about 15O0 people would leave from Vancouver alone for the Cassiar. Others are prepared to leave from Portland and Seattle ana the region will be filled with old and new prospectors.
 While in the south, MT. Cheatham purchased some new equipment to be used by the B. P. R. in Alaska road work. Included in this were five au- tomatic dump trucks and a touring car, two screening plants and con- siderable shop equipment Two of the trucks will be sent to Seward for use in that division, the other three Icing used in Southeastern Alaska work at various places. One of the screening plants will be taken to Seward and the other comes to Ju- neau. It will be installed at the gravel pit where surfacing material is taken for the Glacier highway In addition Simonds disc rock crusher was pur- chased and will be used in connection with the ballasting of Glacier High way and later taken to Ketchikan for use on Tongass Highway. The shop equipment will be installed here.

HARTLEY HOWARD
 RETURNS FROM LONG TRIP TO THE EAST

Bartley Howard returned on the steamship Alaska, from a trip to Washington and Eastern points, talk ing the train for Anchorage where he will look over his business interests, returning Saturday en route to Ju- neau where he will attend session of the Alaska legislators.
 Speaking of his trip MT. Howard stated that he had interviewed Secre tary Work, President Coolidge. and various other officers and that all manifested a desire to help Alaska. They assured him that it was only through Alaskans visiting the capi- tai that first hand information was secured and that Alaska was badly hampered by the many complaints emanating from political sources in the Territory
 Alaska has an opportunity to ad vance such as never before known in her history" said MT. Howard "On every hand I found great inter- est manifested in the government railroad, and in the development of the Territory at large. Senator Cur ry. father of the Alaska railroad bill, declared that the only reason Alaska didn't progress faster was on account of her internal quarrels and incessant charges of mismanagement against administrative appointments. In this believe the senator is right as 1 found many other public men of the same opinion.
 Governor Scott c. Bone has been of great help in securing appropria- tions for Alaska, and everywhere l found a great admiration for him. He wields a potential influence at the capital, and Alaska is certainly under (many obligations to him. His retire. ment from office will be a disappoint- ment to many senators and congress- men at the capital
 Delegate Sutherland was very busy while I was in the capital, and did not know whether he would be able to attend the coming session of the legislature or not. N..
 q was greatly encouraged by the interest taken in the coal situation and believe that in case bunkers are built at Seward, Alaskan coal can be placed in the market in competition with other coals While I was at San Francisco I observed cargo of British coke and brick unloaded which was sold at prices competing with the California markets, and there is no reason why Alaskan coal cannot be handled at a price allowing it to enter coast markets.
 MT. Howard stated that General Manager Noel w. Smith would sail from Seattle on one of the next boats and that when he arrived he would

HOWE SAYS RIVER
WILL SOON PAY ALL
STATES EXPENSES

PHOENIX. Nov. 21.-"Within
ten years the power developed
from the Colorado river, If that
development is done along practl-
cal lines, ought to pay the ex-
penses of the state" said Charles
r Howe, member of the state tax
commission in a luncheon address
before the Kiwanis in the Hotel
Adams. ~
This declaration was enthuslas-
tically cheered, showing the IN
terest of the club members In TINS
proposed development.
Mr.. Howe, in his address, de-
precated more bond issues and en-
phasized the necessity of getting
along without increasing the states
expenses at this time. Because
nearly 70 per cent of the states
total area is included in federal
reserves of one kind or another,
he said "the tax rate cannot be
reduced for a long time to come.
The mines and railroads now pay
So per cent of all taxes. Of all
the taxes now levied, 55 per cent
is used for educational purposes.
"The bonded Indebtedness of
all the counties in the state at
this time amounts to $40.000,0OO
S17.OO0.O0O of which belongs to
Maricopa county. This does not
include paving and highway con-
struction indebtedness.

co CALIFORNIA GOING TO

ME real boosters, and its oppor-
tunities for the future enormous
r. needs only to make its attrac-
t;ona and resources known to the
world and southern California Is
going to help. ,,
This was the unanimous deciara-
ton of thirty-three outstanding
hnsiness executives of Los An
Seles including the president, wee
president, two former presidents
and seven directors of the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
who returned from a three-oay
trim to Arizona as a delegation
that set in motion a definite plan
of California cooperation in Arr
zona colonization and development
To the Angelenos who made up
the delegation the trip was rev.
elation. Visiting in turn the agri-
cultural domain of the Salt River
valley, the water and power de-
velopment of the Mormon Flats.
Horse Mesa and Roosevelt dams,
the mines of the Globe-Miami sec
ton. and Tucson, the tourist and
commercial center OF southern
Arizona, they saw cross-sectlon
of Arizona development scenery,
and opp ortunity that most of them
had never dreamed of, while meet
tings with the Arizona Industrial
Congress, the Phoenix Chamber OF
Comerce. the Globe Luncheon
Club. and the Tucson Chamber OF
Commerce gave them new vision
of Arizona's Importance to south
ern CALIFORNIA; industrial future.
The delegations mission was to
learn more of Arizona, to lay plans
for aiding Arizona colonization as
a means Of forming closer trade
relations with the state, and the
visit was liberal education for the
Californians. They came back
Arizona boosters to a man, and
with story of Arizona possibili-
ties that will be broadcast widely
through the national influence of
the Los Angeles organizations.
Four things especially impressed
the members of the delegation
the great development Arizona has
already made, It's great variety of
scenic grandeur, its almost unlimit-
ed agricultural and other possibili-
ties for the future, and it's excel
lent highways. Overshadowing
these, however, was "a new reali-
zation Of the economic Importance
of Arizona and California to each
other, and the Importance of the
two working together in develop
ing the empire Of the southwest.

Gridiron Strategy
MANSPRING OF TEAM
(BY ERNIE VICk)
Michigan, All-American Center

A center must be an accurate
passer or feeder to the players in
the backfield.
This is necessary and the most
important function he has to per-
form In game.
A great number Of games have
been lost due to a bad or wild pass
to the KICKER or ball carrier in the
backfield.
The center Is the handspring of
the football machine. If he does
not function properly and accurate
ly, the rest of the team or machine
Is disrupted. and naturally team
play or work is ruined.
There are two ways OF feeding or
passing the ball to the backf1eld.
The first Is what Is known as the
spiral" pass and the other the
lend over end" pass.
This Is optional. and should be
decided by the center after a
thorough trial of both ways, which
he likes better.
! preferred the end over end, be-
cause | was more accurate in feed
ing the ball to the backfeld that
way.
Another important part a center
has to play is feeding the ball to
the punter, whether he be punting,
drop, or place kicking swiftly and
accurately.
The faster the ball Is fed TO the
kicker, the more time he has to
kick the ball, decreasing the chances
OF the punt being blocked by an
opposing lineman.
This is very important, especially
when q team waits until the fourth
down to kick.
In case of a tumble, or blocked
Kick, the opposing team gains pos
session of the ball. and the loss of
40 to so yards. which might have
been gained If the ball had been
