present the city's side OF dispute
concerning a contemplated change
OF zone in the district affected. the
tendency Of which, the inspector
claims, acts as a stay.
Attorney L. J. Colon filed an ap-
plication for the mandamus writ
yesterday in common pleas court.
He was confronted with the objec-
ton that the writ of mandamus &C.
ton ordinarily calls for signature by
the states attorney. He commended
that in the Azukas action a private

reported Increasingly convinced
that the time has imperatively ar
rived to take preventive steps to
avert an outbreak of war in Europe.
Fear of such an eventuality is
mainly inspired by the reported at
titude of Soviet Russia following
the breaking of diplomatic relations
by Great Britain and the ASA ssina-
ton of the Soviet minister to Po-
land. In southern Europe another
situation presents itself through the
break of relations between Jugo-
slavia and Albania.
The Associated Press learns that
Germany has been virtually brought
over to the camp of those powers
who favor warning Russia against
continuance of her alleged propa-
ganda abroad and terrorism at
home.
If this warning is delivered joint
ly by the powers, which is a posi-
bility, it will not be worded as a
menace to the SOVIET system but will
be drafted from the viewpoint that
Europe cannot risk another war and
that the powers are united in the
sense that any aggressor is the

KODIAK, March 21. (SpeciaD Bit ter, biting blasts of low velocity, fresh from the land of Blubber, Polar Bear and Icebergs, blasted the hope and belief that springtime had ar rived.

SEWARD GIRLS NOW |NTER-C|TY CHAMPS;
 GAMES IN DETAIL
SEWARD GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL TEAM WON FIVE OF THE SIX
 GAMES PLAYED

Seward High school girls basket ball team returned from victOri- ous trip to Anchorage Saturday, hav- ing won two of the three games play ed. This makes a total of five vic- tories for Seward out of the six games played and gives the Seward girls an undisputed claim to the h. ter-city championship of 1927, an honor never before attained by a Seward girls team. Anchorage was able to win only one game, an over time battle in which Seward held the lead until the last minute of play.
 Thursday night Anchorage took the first game of the series by a hard finish. Bert Mcintosh scored two field goals in the first half at the end of which Seward led Az. In the third period neither team scored, and late in the final quarter it appeared that Seward would win. In the last minute however, Gertrude Nelson succeeded in caging the tying basket. In the overtime period He'd berg scored a basket and Cecil Les lie converted a technical foul making t the final score 6-5. Ingeborg Ruck- art, substitute guard starred for the home team, holding Bert Mcintosh scoreless in the second half. Elsa Larson played fine game but was off her shooting, missing shots re- peatedly which rolled around the hoop but refused to drop through. In a fast preliminary game the An chorage High school boys beat the City team 12-6.
 Fridays game was the hardest fought of the series and the most spectacular The lead went from one team to the other throughout the game and only the accurate foul shooting of Cecil Leslie and the fierce guarding of Wilma Harrison and Katherine Neville held off defeat. Wilma was out for about ten minutes bad collision in which two teeth were nearly lost, but went back in the game for the last few minutes. Viola Sheldon took her place and held her forward scoreless while she was in the game Bert Mcintosh scored points. Elsa Larson 2, and Cecil Leslie 3. Nelson was high for Anchorage with three field goals. The final score was 11-1O in favor of Seward. In the preliminary the An chorage High school boys lost to the Commission team 22-5.
 In the final game played off Sat- urday morning the Seward girls dis played a brand of basketball which had the Inlet team dazzled. An ex- cellent offensive combination kept the ball near the Seward basket throughout the game and after the 1 first quarter the result was never in doubt. Excellent passing of Larson, Mcintosh, and Leslie worked the ball under the basket repeatedly for easy shots and only desperate guarding kept the score from being higher. The feature of the game was a beau tiful shot by Elsa Larson from the middle of the floor. She also led in

1t should be constantly borne in min
that when election for our first legis-
lature took place the Civil war was at its
crisis. and that the majority Of our
citizens were in sympathy with the Con-
federacy. For this reason 1t was remark
able that any republicans, or war-demo-
Gratis, as that wing OF the party was
called which favored the Union cause
were elected members of either the
Gil or the house. That Union sympathiz-
ers found a place there arose from these
men having been quiet concerning their
political affiliations. such discreet &C.
ton resulted In George Detweiler being
chosen speaker Of the house Of repre-
sentatives, although he was a repub-
lican.
The Rogers incident delayed legislation
for a time. but was happily terminated
by the resignation of Mr.. Rogers, and
some much needed action was taken. OF
the sentiment manifested by the mem
bers of the legislature thereafter, Colonel
Sanders adds: There was as little par

sidering the tumults of the times, and
the strong conviction Of a considerable
majority Of the people,"

This party, which had started from

IN LOOKING over a contribution Of
Col. Wilbur F. Sanders, to a now
defunct Montana magazine. I noted
some facts which are not familiar
to the majority OF u readers, although
they are a part of the history of III
state in its formative period, n Of
which Colonel Sanders was qualified to
speak authoritatively.
One Of the first duties Of Governor
Edgerton was to have a censu taken of
the inhabitants OF the territory prelimi-
nary I, its apportionment into districts.
The Hon. James Tufts acted as our first
census taker-an office not to be COW
eted when we consider the scattered
towns widely separated; the methods Of
travel and its attendant dangers.
II the towns were scattered, the inhab-
its.dts were more SO, as the majority Of
them were miners or prospectors, and

Of official recognition. 1t is not surpris-
ing, then, to learn that Mr.. Tufts was
able to give but an approximate estt-
mate Of the number Of persons living n
Montana. His itinerary included Cotton

Owen, Blackfoot City, Fort Benton, Mon
tana City, Gallatin. n Virginia City.
These places were reached, not by rail-
road, automobile. or even by carriage.
wagon or coach in the majority of In
stances, but on horseback. A pack ami
NAL probably carried the needed sup
plies, as the traveller must provide his
own meals and sleeping quarters while
on the way.
After Mr.. Tufts hardad in his report,
the governor apportioned the territory
into four council and five representative
districts. and called for an election to be
held Oct. "a, 1864, when seven council
men and thirteen representatives were
elected.
Colonel Sanders said the campaign was
q heated one, due to the intense feeling
that always exists during wartime. Madi-
son county had the greatest number of
inhabitants at the time Of the election,
and If the apportionment of districts
had been made on the basis OF the GEN.
sus enumeration, Madison county would
have ruled the legislature. The governor
made the division with a view to the
somewhat nomadic condition Of the ter
ritory's citizens, that had not become
wonted to permanent residence. Gold
miners were in one place today, and
gone tomorrow at news Of rich discoveries
In other localities. The result Of this
