That grizzled old veteran of a

Foley. is somewhat handicapped in
his efforts to send winning team
Of Central High School athletes into

the Pennsylvania relays.

that team for the time being. Bui,

Bill has been tuning up his boys
for the past two weeks and despite
the handicap of severe cold weather.
the Blue and White speedsters are
in pretty fine condition. The ,rudl-
ments Of relay work-passing the
baton. avoiding pockets, and the
lile-have been drilled into the
team.
Monday Foley called off drill
for the sprint team because OF the
cod weather. He figured that IL

burning up the Central track in prac.

Because there is no individual
competition in the Penn relays for
the high schools. Foley cannot send
his specialists up. He would like

field men and he has some distance
men that nc figures are good enough
to win some points.
Central, with Bill Foley at the
helm, has cleaned up lin track
for so many years most people
gust naturally figure that Ger
trail ought to win. Few know
the difficulties that confront Coach
Foley every year Few really
know the small number Of boys
with which Foley can work.
Most Of his material has been
sent out for track ON q Doctors

Z Those who can recall the pathetlc
showing American distance runners
made in the Olympic games Of 1920
and 1924, readily realize why It
should be called disappointing to
have only 20 of the 1000 athletes
want to participate in the two1nile

The result that appeal had on
American youth can be determined
in no better way than an ANALYSIS
of the Penn relay entries. Il tells
Enthusiastically that American ath-
Ietes lean decidedly toward those
events which terminate quickly.
The fact that 80 few college atli-
Ietas are interested iii the distance
events is 61ispleasing to La vson
Robertson. head coach of the Uni-
versity Of Pennsylvania and Amer
lean Olympic teams.
Robertson, who is probably more
aware OF the dearth Of distance
runners in this country than any
one else, said It is a bad omen.

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?
Bad Backs Bring Suffering to Many
 Seward Folks.

Is that dull, constant backache mak- ing you old and miserable? Does your back throb and ache until it seems you just cant keep going? Do you suffer headaches, dizzy spells and urinary disorders; feel weak, tired and worn-out? Then look to your kidneys. Delay may mean serious kidney sick ness! Use Doan's Pills-a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys. Doan's are recommended by thousands.
 Mrs. Chas. Scharnbrick, Academy St., Montesano, Wash, says: "A dull pain in the small of my back nearly took my breath away at times. My back was weak and I felt weak all over My kidneys acted too often. used box of Doan's Pills and they relieved the backache. Deans gave me strength and ambition and my kidneys acted like clock work"

Big Game Hunters Meet
 Failure Account Rain

The three horsemen, Tyler, Mount, and Blair, big game hunters, who hunt in rain or shine returned from three-days' search of the wilds of Resurrection Bay for a specimen of the almost extinct bear, the Ava Woofus." Signs were found every where near the hunters base camp on Tonsina creek and once at 2:30 yes terday morning, they thought they heard one of the mysterious animals calling to it's mate
 The hunters left their camping out fit safely cached away and propose to return down the bay again when the weather breaks.
 When asked about the Ava Woo fus," Dr. Tyler, famous Oregon big game hunter, stated: Marco Polo, the 18th century globe trotter, first told the world about this minerature bear of Alaska, but it was not until 1923 that the animal was definitely described and named. They live among the highest mountains and like all wild animals, are keen of sight and smell. Despite their life at at high attitudes they are affected by the rarified air and when running at full speed open their mouths as tho in want of breath. It has always been my ambition to procure one of these rare specimens"

president Of the Fleet Corporation
was contrary to an understanding
I had with you at the time Of my
reappointnnent. IN my letter to
You Of August rs answered your
request setting forth at length that
no such understanding had ever
existed and frankly pointed out
that could not at any time have
agreed to take any action which I
believed might be prejudicial to
the Governments shipping inter
ests or IN conflict with my obliga-
ton under the law as interpreted
Accordingly, declined ia resign.
as my resignation might have been
construed to be an admission that
had entered into the understand
ing YOU mentioned.
Under the then inefficient adj
minlStratiOn OF the Fleet Corpora
ton the Government fleet continued
to lose ground rapidly to foreign
shipping interests and felt it my
duty to take every action possible
to correct this condition
The Shipping Board, on October
4, reasserted its power with respect
to the duties imposed upon it by
law and made such change in per-
sonnet and administrative policy as
to re-establish the regional control
OF the Government-owned merchant
marine in accordance with the pro-
visions of the law creating the Ship
ping Board.
These changes have brought In

Of the Fleet Corporation and great
" increased the number OF Govern
ment ships in operation. with the
result that American shippers to-
day are being furnished a substan-
TALLY better service and foreign
shipping is no longer gaining
ground at the expense Of the Gov
ernment-owned fleet.
These necessary reforms in the
administration OF the Fleet Cor
poration were made prior to De-
cen1ber Z. last, the date the 69th
Congress convened. At that time
you announced that it was your
intention not to reappoint me and
informed Senator McNary of your
desire to nominate an Oregonian to
succeed me as q commissioner Of
the United States Shipping Board.
Since then I have expected daily
to be relieved from service by your
action. 1t has been my desire to
allow you ample time within which
to reach a. decision as to my sue
cessor, but after a lapse of almost
three months. in the absence of any
action by you, and in view of the
fact that my commission expired at
the close of the present session of
the Senate / now feel that / may
properly. end my service. For these
reasons I hereby tender my resig-
nation as a commissioner of the
United States Shipping Board, to
take effect March 1. 1896"
