On July 1, Dominion Day, Canada

birthday as a united Dominion. This

has unique significance In modern

unique because its first transconr-

confederation reality instead Of a
mere desirable policy.

COAL MINE KEEPS UP |TsSUPPLY TIMBER RISING COSTS LEAD TO PROJECT OF DEMONSTRATION FOR FU-
 TURF NEEDS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S. (P)-The Bureau of Mines of the Department of Commerce, in a statement just made public, discusses the question of al future timber supply for coal mines and outlines what one coal company is doing to insure it's timber supply. The text of the statement follows:
 One of the problems which the coal mining industry must solve in the next few years is the reduction of it's ever-increasing timber bill. This in- cludes pit posts, mine ties, timber sets and brattice boards.
 There are several reasons for this increased cost: Scarcity of raw mate rial, higher freight rates and increas- ed labor costs.
 Present conditions seem to indicate the continued upward trend of the cost of mine timber, although the re- grettable calamity that has visited the chestnut timber in Pennsylvania may temporarily hold the price of some types of mine timber on a level basis in that State. On account of the chestnut blight, many farmers will undoubtedly begin to convert their chestnut trees into timber before they become a total loss. This may pro- vide, for the time being, sufficient supply of mine timber to check the steadily rising prices.
 The supply of coal in Western and Central Pennsylvania will last for al long period and it is for the possible future demand for timber that the coal companies must provide. While steel, concrete, and other materials may, in many cases, prove an ac-1 ceptable substitute, there is no doubt that timber will always be in demandI on account of its relative cheapness.
 With these points of view, one of the large bituminous coal companies in the Central Pennsylvania district has for several years been carrying on systematic program of reforesta- tion which is intended to provide for the needs of the company in the far future. The company is a pioneer in the State in this work and now con- trols about 24,O0O acres of surfaces which is either in forest at the pres ent time or is available for future re- forestation.

NOMINEE FOR ATTORNEY
 J0b KNOWN IN JUNEAU

Justin w. Harding, who has been nominated to United States Attorney for the First Division, is not entirely stranger to Alaska it was revealed in Juneau. He visited Juneau for about two months in the summer of 1919.
 MT. Harding, his wife and little daughter, his mother and an aunt made up party of five who spent some time there, it was recalled by George w. Folta, Court Reporter in the Federal District Court, who &C., companied MT. Harding on few trips during his visit. Since that time the two men have corresponded intermittently.
 MT. Harding is said to be about 40 years of age. He is an ex-service man and had just retired from the Army with rank as major a short time prior to his Alaska visit in 1919. He, at that time and since, expressed warm liking for the Territory but did not intimate any intention of coming here to make his home.

YHEIHER II nj p ey
M licked Sharkey by fair
" or foul means continues
as topic of bitter con-
troversy among hackers OF the
principals in the clash at Yankee
Stadium.
1t is one that never will cease
to provoke argument among those
who witnessed til at smuggling
match, and it always will remain
a bone of contention so far as in
dividual opinion is concerned, but
officially it was settled when
Referee O'Sullivan counted out
the Bostonian as he sprawled
quivering on the canvas following
a clip on the jaw in the seventh
round.
Keen observers, who carefully
studied movies of the fight, pro-
fessed to find in them justiflca-
ton for their claims that Demp-
seys blows Immediately preceding
the X. 0. were low, and an equal
number were convinced by the
evidence of the camera that the
wallops were legal.
Not Clear in Movies.
To the end of offering any con-
elusive testimony ON the point in
dispute, the slow-motion pictures
have failed, and there now is no
agency through which any addi-
tional light NAV be obtained on
the subject. Thus it will remain a
mootcd question, but the line,
knocked Out by Dempsey" will
appear in the books containing
Sharkeys record; and i'll view of
the judgment of an official gem
orally credited with being compe-
tent and of the highest. integrity
and the fact that examining physi-
clans failed to find any evidence
OF fouling on Sharkcy's: groins,
unbiased fans will be willing to-
concede that Dempsey fairly
earned his victory. -
Of the more~than $4,000 who at
tended the bout only a very small
percentage were qualified to offer
relevant opinions Oil the punches
in dispute. Those whose view
was not obscured by one or the
other of the three mciN in the ring
or who were not situated so far
from the scene as to have obscrv-
ance of minute details prccluded
were in the vast minority. Even
these were subject to unwittingly
err by reason of the we'll estab-
liShed fact that the hand is
quicker than the eye and that any
number of witnesses may obtain
Numerically opposed impressions
of any occurrence from exactly
the same vantage point.
Now Dempsey VS.. Tunney.
The utter futility of arguments
OIL this subject gradually will be
impressed on even the most rabid
of fight followers, and it will be
question OF but short time until
they shelve them and shift their
conversation to the next big de-
bate, which happens to be the
impending return bout between
Dempsey. and Champion Gene
Tunney. scheduled to be held
about the middle of September at

probably will be Chicago.

On theSideLines
With the Sports Editor
BY DENMAN THOMPSON

The municipal stadium on the
lake front there can accommodate
even a greater number than the
huge Sesqui Enclosure in Philadel-
phia where Tunney wrested the
crown from Dempsey last Fall,
and with the likelihood that a top
price of between $40 and $50 will
be permitted for the choicest
seats, new record both for at
tendance and receipts should be
attained.
Dempsey's ability to reverse the
outcome of his first encounter
with Tunney may we'll be doubted
on the strength of what happened
to him in that rains soaked ring.
but the ex-champion is certain to
have a large and enthusiastic fol-
lowing, and it is assured that the
battle will be far less one sided
than that of last September.
On that occasion Dempsey was
way under par. both mentally and
physically, and, was a mark for
the we'll conditioned and perfectly
poised ex-Marine. 81
In the Sharkey affair Dempsey
demonstrated. that he had re-
gained considerable Of the stamina
and speed he possessed when he
dethroned Jess Willard back in
1919 and carried into his bouts
against Georges Carpenter and
Luis Firpo. His mind, too, now is
untroubled by the financial wor-
ries and legal llarassmcnts that
handicapped last Fall, while the
rust he got out of his system in
disposing of Sharkey also will
help him i'll preparing for. his at
tempt to regain the pinnacle of
pugilism.
Tunney OutcIasses Sharkey.
In addition, Dempsey demon
strated last Thursday that his
power of punch has diminished
:; but little and his lion heartedness
not at all, but in Tunney he will
be meeting foeman of far differ
ent calibcr than the human pho
nograph from Boston.
Tunneys courage matches that
of Dempsey, and in addition to
possessing the superior attributes
OF speed and science, the present
title holder is smart. In Tunney
the Manassa Maulcr will have to
contend not against a cocksure
and vainglorious young brag-
CART, but champion adequately
equipped by nature and training
for the highest type of ring work
and possessed of intelligence and
the ability to use it.
If he can regain his 1aurels from
the man he lost them to, Dempsey
will indelibly inscribe his name in
the archives of sportdom as the
greatest of all comebacks.

NATIONALS HITTING WELL.
BUT NOT In THE PINCHES

ST. LOUIS. July Although they
have been hitting we'll above 300 dur
ing this second western trip Of the
year of the Nationals they have not
been getting any great value out of
their hits. The trail to first base has
been an open one to them, but the
swing around the circuit to the home
plate they have found especially diff
cult.
In the 18 engagements staged up to
today on this tour, members of Bucky
Harris bunch got on the runway 334
times, but only 93 times was the cir
cult completed. That was just bit
better than getting one run for each
block of four runners on the base
paths.
or the 941 runners who failed to-
make the round trip of the bases,
only Ga persisted on the way. That's
an average of but 3.5 to the game for
those forced out, caught in double
plays or attempted thefts and picked
off the sacks--not so bad. But III Ian.
suished on the bases, waiting for the
hit that never came, and that was Dad.
In the IS games up to today the Ma
tionals' left-on.base totals per game
ranged from ) TO II. with two OF the
ENGAGEMENTS going into overtime and
two others curtailed by storm, 1G3
innings were played. SO the average
left -on-base total for each innings
was nearly 10 men,
In 40 innings there were two rug
ners stranded and in IA innings the
Nationals left the bases filled. a club
can't brag about that.
OF the Is games, the Nationals won
II and lost 6, while one, halted by
storm, reverted TO deadlock. Six OF
, the victories, though, were by single
run margins and three times the club
! was nosed out by q run. In their tie
with the Browns. the Nationals mad
! runners on J. times, but only TWO
runs- were made.
The Washington club certainly docs
. not seem t. be getting as much out OF
! lis attack as it should.
For the wind.up of the tour tomor-
row, Manager Harris plans to send TO
! the slab Tom Zachary. The veteran
! southpaw, who left the Browns, just
! two weeks ago, is satisfied Ire has
| ironed out of his salary wing the klnk

the Nationals pilot has decided deli
nitely to start Zach instead Of the
youthful Bob Burke in the Sunday
contest. After his seven and one
third innings of toll in Chicago last
Wednesday, Zach noticed a slight sore
ness in his pitching arm. However
the pain left him the next day and a
couple of brisk workouts here brought
no recurrence of the ailment. Per
laps the red-thatchcd North Caro-
lnian. who was such a familiar figure
in a Washington uniform up to last
year, once more is ready to feed the
opposition those slow and slower ones
that baff1ed many a high-up batter.
