Steamers Replace
Packing Sail Fleet

San Froncisco. Dec. 4.-(AP)-The
historic windjammer salmon packing
flotilla. which yearly invades the icy
waters of Alaska, is being steered into
the Sargasso Sea of Oblivion by the
Giant Steam,
Displacement of the sailing fleet
was begun by the use of two small
steamers by one company this year.
Next spring there will be mere of
them. and local marine officials doubt
whether there will be sail left on
the Alaska run within two or three
years.
Departure and return of the packing
fleet have been picturesque incidents
on San Fronciscos water front many
years.
Most of the vessels go to far-north
Bristol Bay, and they begin to leave
the middle of March, sailing every
day or two until all are on the way.
The northward sail usually takes 80
days and often longer. The return
from Bristol Bay, made in September
as a rule, often requires no more
than Is days. Favorable winds prevail,
and there are currents that speed the
vessels southwark.
The crew and Gamers form a mot
ley and colorful crowd Nearly every
nationality Is represented. and many q
swashbuckling tale could be written
around the voyages. Fights galore
have been recorded, and weary skip
pers have thanked their stars when
they sighted the Golden Gate again.
1t is bleak. hard life for the men
during the FIVE or six months they are
away, but there Is nothing to spend
money for, and generally they return
with their wages in their pockets.

STATE HOUSE
Meeting II at 10 NJ

Maine was placed In quarantine as
far as the importation of cattle is
concerned and this Division, in CO.
operation with the Federal Bureau
of Animal Industry, put five veter-
mary inspectors into that county
who, with the assistance of C. C.
Larrabee,A the county agent, and his
farm bureau leaders, carefully cover
ed the entire county. The work was
done under the following Memoran-
dunn of Agreement with the Federal
Bureau:
"In accordance with the Regula-
tions of the State of Maine, the work
of Graduating bovine tuberculosis is
now in progress in Piscataquis coun-
ty. All the cattle in Piscataquis
County have been tuberculin tested
by either county. State, or Federal
veterinarian, and as a result of said
test, tuberculosis is known to exist
among cattle not to exceed one-half
(.5) of one per cent.
"All herds of cattle in which tuber-
culosis is known to exist (herds con-
tanning cattle that have reacted to a
tuberculin test) have been quaran-
tined by the State of Maine and will
be kept in quarantine until released
by the proper State livestock sani-
tary official.
I'm view of the above, the COM
missioner of Agriculture of the State
of Maine does hereby petition the
Chief, Bureau of Animal Industry. U.
s. Department of Agriculture, to Of
ficially declare Piscataquis county as
Modified Accredited Area for a per-
'od of three years. providing that
during that period the percentage of
tuberculosis of cattle does not ex-
coed one-half (.5) of one per cent.
1.-THE Commissioner of Agriculture
Of the State of Maine hereby agrees
to prevent the movement of cattle
into Piscataquis county except in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
Uniform Methods and Rules for
Tuberculosis-Free Accredited Herds
of Cattle"

quently on December 1, 1925. Pisca-
taquis county was officially declared
Modified Accredited Area. This
is the first Modified Accredited Area
east of Michigan and North of
North Carolina, consequently the
State of Maine, and Piscataquis
county in particular should be very
proud of this honor.
1t is the plan of this Division TO
commence next Spring and extend
this Accre lifted Area by adding SOM
erset County on the one side ana
Penobscot county on the other.
With the exception of herds where
reactors were found (Which VIII pc
re. tested in six months) an accredited
area does not have to be retested Tor
three years. I am looking forward
to the time when the whole state
will be a Modified Accredited Area.
Then, with sufficient funds to cover
one-third of the State each year
bovine tuberculosis will be complete
ly under control in Maine, and when
this Is accomplished there Is bound
to be decided reduction In human
Tuberculosis.

VA HOKAL GUARDS HX UP
 SERIES WITH THE DYKES
New Britain Games to Be Played February If and March 2-GOldenrOds of Winsted Here Saturday Lyrics and Co. c Are Out of Town Games Next Monday and Tuesday,

Manager Clarence Lanpher of the National Guard basketball team to- day made an announcement for which fans long have been waiting. He has arranged a home and home series of the best out of five games with the DiXies of Hartford. The New Britain games will be played here on the evenings of February 14 and March 2. The dates of the Hart ford games and the place of a de- ctding game, if one is necessary, are yet to be determined.
 Saturday nights game at the ermory will be one which the locals are especially anxious 10 win since it is with the Winsted Goldenrods. This team, with the exception of the blacklisted Darcey, is identically the same one that handed the locals their 51 to 10 drubbing last year and they are anxious to wipe out that defeat. Cady and Carroll, the latter former Hartford Kacey player, will be the forwards with Shea at center and Victor and Manchester as guards. This is a formidable ar ray and the bunch Is coming here claiming ability to do that which no team has done yet this season, breaking the winning streak of the Mats.
 The preliminary game will also be for blood as it brings together the Reserves and the Crescent Juniors from Manchester. The latter have one decision this season over the local youths.
 Manager Lanpher has booked a busy week for his pets next week. Monday night he takes them to Hartford where they play the Ly- rics at the Hopkins street gym. This is the same team they nosed out Sat urday night. Gordon again will be in theS lineup as well Sammy Pite. Smith also is likely to be in the Lyric lineup and if he is it will make the work of the locals n more difficult.
 Then on Tuesday night the Na 1 will journey over to Manchester to rlay the Company c five. This is the team that already has Lung a defeat onto the DiXics. The question is can the locals beat .l...l .. tueir own floor when tLr .s-~v stepping DiEics failed?

WALKER-M'TIGUE
 BATTLE TONIGHT
Mickey Plays It Saie-.Ii He
 Loses He Loses Nothing

New York, Jan. 7.-Mickey Walk CT. worlds welterweight champion, will climb two steps out of his class tonight when he meets Mike Me- Tigue, worlds light heavyweight champion, in a 12-round no-decision match in the Newark armory.
 The welter king has everything to gain and nothing to lose in this match. By knocking out McTigue or winning on a foul, Walker can capture the 175-pound crown. On the other hand, a knockout victory for McTigue would still leave Walker king of the 147. pounders, as the light heavyweight champion Is not eligible for the welterweight division.
 Although the men are two diW- sions apart there will not be a great difference in their weight when they step into the ring. McTigue, really a middlweight, will scale near the 16o pound mark while Walker will come in around 153.
 If Walker succeeds in stopping McTigue within the 12-round limit and thereby winning the worlds 175 pound crown, 1t will be the sec ond time in boxing history that fighter has held two titles in such widely separated divisions. In 1897 Bob Fitzsimmons, middleweight champion, won the heavyweight title by stopping Jim Corbett.
 In the 1O-round semi-fnal match, Bobby Barrett, of Philadelphia, will meet Jack Rappaport, of Newark.

 Cabinet Lock ys. Fafnir.
 The Cabinet Lock and Fafnr game was one for blood. and blood certain ly was spilled before the end. The Lock makers entered the game a heavy favorite, but were clearly out classed in every angle of the game. not having chance from the very beginning. Kamenicky and Carrazza were the high lights for the losers, the former playing a nice game at ccnter and shooting well, and the latter shooting well and playing a whale of floor game, breaking tip pass work repeatedly and making some neat shots, His glaring error was in the opening of the second half when he got the ball under the Fafnir basket, got mixed up in his location and shot goal into the Fafnir net, giving his opponents an extra two points which are credited 10 the captain.
 The game started on with a bang and both teams banged until the final whistle Probably there never will be a factory league game that will be any rougher than was last nights, and 1t is doubtful if any game will be any harder fought. After a minute of play kamenicky fouled Gehrkowski, but the latter missed and both teams swept into furious play, but after a minute and 50 seconds of scrimmage the Lock makers took time out to reorganize their offense. Three minutes later Gehrkowski was detected holding and Kamenicky missed. Gehrkowski again was holding, this time Carraz- "a being the victim. and Darby" dropped in the first tally Of the game. Carrazza then was caught holding Gehrkowski, but again the latter missed free try. Weir next added a point for Fafnlr when he made good after Yankaskas had

PREFER LEFT SIDE
Eaters Hitting From Both Sides Generally Like to Bat LeSt Hand- ed Better than Right.

New York, Jan. I'm the major number of players who bat equally well right or left-handed.
 Eaters of this type are much more in evident in the National than the American. Among them being Frankie Frisch, Max Carey, Walter Holke. Dave Bancroft and others.
 In the American league Lu Blue, first baseman of the Detroit Tygers, and Catcher Wally Schang of the New York Yankees are the two out standing players who shift to either side of the plate.
 Itfs an interesting fact that every one of the players who hit either way much prefer to hit from the left side of the plate.
