BEACH CLOSING
ORDER ISSUED
Park Board Stops Mcclure
Bathers on Official Decree.

Temporary closing of Mcclure
Beach was ordered by the park
board on receipt of an official order
from the health board today.
Last week the park board opened
the beach in defiance of the health
board after a chemist declared test
of the water was satisfactory.
DR.. Herman G. Morgan, health
secretary, declared that tests Satur-
day revealed sewage organisms in
the stream because sewage from
Broad Ripple is emptied above the
beach.
Sewage pumps. preventing flow
into the river, will be started in a
week eliminating the typhoid haz-
ard, Dr. Morgan said. DR.. Morgan
informed Recreation Director j. P.
Mcclure six weeks ago that the
health board would not permit
opening of the beach until the sew
age pumps were started.
The beach was crowded Sunday.

1900 BOYS here
FOR MONTH OF
ARMY ROUTINE
Annual C. NJ. 7. C. EnCamp-
ment at Ft. Benjamin Har-
riSon Starts Today.

Some 1900 boys from the north
ern parts of Indiana and Ohio came
to TT. Benjamin Harrison today for
thirty days of military training dur
ing the annual G. M, T. c. encamp-
ment.
A few were already on the scene,
having arrived during the weekend,
but the majority trickled in groups
to the camp today.
Under direct supervision Of Col
George D. Freeman they will begin
the routine tomorrow which will
be theirs for thirty days.
A 7 a. m. they will assemble on
the drill field and for four and one
half hours will learn the rudiments
of Army drill. During the after
moons they will engage in compul-
sorry athletics. 1t makes little diff
ference what kind of athletics it is,
but each rookie" must spend hi
afternoons at play.
Army officers Boss
Forty regular army officers will
supervise the work. Fifteen reserve
officers will adj.
Today the camp resenbed a bee
hive AS each rookie came. he was
started happily with free lunch.
From the lunch room he was check
ed in through the personnel depart
ment. The next stop was the ply
steal examination building and it
was there that the rookie met his
first real mishap. He lost his
clothes. Stripping for the eXamina-
ton, the "rook" saw his clothes
bundled and taken from him for
thirty days.
Don Uniforms
Following the physical examina-
ton the boys went down a long run
way to supply quarters, where they
were given clothes to be worn for
the next month-regular Army
clothes.
They came out of this room with
a conglomeration of things which
they knew little about, but regular
soldiers were there TO help them
sort the packs, and to show them
how to roll puts etc.
The boys come from all walks of
life. Some are sons Of millionaireS,
others are not so we'll Off, some are
good athletes, some are not so good,
but few of them know anything
about Army drill.
They'll probably know more thirty
days from today.

AERIAL FEATS
POINT TO ERA
OF POSSIBILITY
New Thought Speaker Says
Impossible Will Be
Natural.

That Lindbergh's fight and other
recent air achievements are con-
crete evidence that the world is
nearing the closing Of "a material
istic cycle" and entering into "a
spiritual conception of a new age
in which what is now considered
absurdly impossible will be quite
possible and naturar was the con-
tention of DR.. William H. Woodf1n
of st. Louis, Mo, at the afternoon
session of the fourteenth annual
congress of International New
Thought Alliance at the Claypool
today.
"Great achievements such as this
young hero's come about because OF
the operation of laws whose work
ings are inevitable, but Of whose
operation those most closely affected
may be entirely unconscious OF,
said DR.. Woodfin.
"Lindbergh. for instance, had no
conscious thought Of working WIN
these laws, perhaps, but 'neyerthe-
less his achievement was made pos
sible because the mass thought has
sufficiently risen to come into con-
formity with great spiritual forces
which destroy every conceivable
limitation"
Remarkable Advance Made
Another afternoon speaker at the
Congress. Mrs. Anna w. HoschoueI
of Chicago. declared that the Pow
or of thought is working tody and
is performing mental, spiritual
nhvsical and financial healings TO-
day Just as certainly as 1t aid nlne-
teen centuries ago and before the
eyes Of the disciples"
Remarkable mental and spiritual
advance is being made in the Wnoie
human thought" she continued
and this is largely attributable 10
the fact that the Christian world
is at last realizing that God Is nor
responsible for and does not leno
himself to evil effects, but that his
will and the operation OF laws
affecting humanity is entirely gooo'

some of them are willing to try it again. Perhaps Bartley's fund will not be as large as Marquam's on account of the small run of sal mon this year. At the time Bart ley sold out to the cannerymen the salmon run was in the future and they had hopes of a big pack and plenty of money to corrupt Alaska elections and hence were generous  in their promises.

In 1925 the compara- tive per capita for maintenance and operation of general departments was $45.46, the greater per capita shown for 1926 being largely due, to increased expenditures for edu- cational purposes.

PRACTICAL versus FARM CHAIR
 EXPERT FISHERMEN

During the month of May The Alaskan stated editorially that in- dications in the fishery industry pointed to a very poor season; tAe lack of salmon in the Stikine Riv- CT and the uncertain and peculiar run of king salmon had all the ear marks of the non-run of salmon. The Empire pointed with pride to the heavy operations and expense of the Packers in the spring pre- parations for the canning of sal mon. The packers themselves were lulled into the belief of continued big runs of salmon and by the re- ported Amazing Increase' made by Secretary Hoover last August.
 The season has vindicated The Alaskan in it's statements as re- gards the unstable condition of the industry and lack of sufficient es- exponent of seed to spawning grounds. Those who fought the destructive methods employed by the canners were more the friends of the industry in particular and the Territory in general than the sub- sidized press which declared us to be radicals" Instead of radical ism we would declare The Alaskan, The Alaska Fishermen and their supporters to be of the real school of conservatism.
 Did the Bureau of Fisheries and the industry heed the warning note of Resident Practical Fishermen rather than to "swivel-chair ex- perts'', the industry would be in far healthier condition today and the future of the fishing industry would be insured.-The Alaskan.

 was present when Delegate Sutherland addressed the joint ses- sion on the Controller Bill and hap pened to be watching Howard when Sutherland said that no doubt some of the legislators had been told by the lobbyists that they were the logical candidates for the delegate ship or governorship. Howard, who has no control over his emtions, inn mediately showed his anger at Sutherland and continued to show it all through the session.
 Howard had surely swallowed the bait, hook, line and sinker before Sutherland made his speech to the legislature and Sutherland's ran dom guess cut to the quick with Howard as he had already sold out to Troy and Company. One hates to have his perfldy called to his at- tention in the innocent manner that Sutherland shot 1t into Howard. This is why the honorable Bartley spent most of his time knocking Sutherland and his friends.
 If Senator Howard will now in- form the Alaska public as to where his funds come from with which to pay for his political tour of the Territory, all will be clear.
 The salmon canners announced last winter that they were sick and tired of financing campaigns against Sutherland but it appears that
