The illustrated lecture entit- led "New Ycgk," given a week ago Sunday by Rev. s. V. War ren at the M. E. Church, was the subject of much common dation on the part of those at tending. The presentation was the first of a series of illus trated lectures to be given by Rev. Warren at intervals, and should prove decidedly inter- esting througohut, if we may judge the whole by the initial number. The series covers pie torial visits to : India, Java, South America ad other coun- tries and all are profusely il- lustrated by handsomely color. ed slides.
 Another of the series will be announced shortly.

1926 GOOD YEAR
 FOR SALMON PACKERS

The Alaska Packers associat- ion is distributing what finan- cial writers term a surprising ly good financial report. The statement shows a profit of $548,483 from cannery oper- ations during the last year, as against a deficit of S165,026 the previous year. The good showing is attributed to ex- ceptioally favorable markets, says San Francisco news re- port.
 The company has resumed the payment of it's extra $2 divi- dend, in addition to the regu- lar $2 quarterly dividend, both payable February 10. The sur plus has been increased from $294,769 at the close of the 1925 season to $1,084,823.

DEPUTY MCDONALD
 RESIGNS POST:
 SUCCESSOR HERE

T. W. Mcdonald, deputy Unit ed States Marshal for this dis trict during the past five years, tendered his resignation to U. s. Marshal Albert White last Monday and was succeed ed in the local office Thurs day by Deputy Marshal Don aid Martin, who arrived iron, Ketchikan on the Taku II.
 During his tenure of the of flee MT. Mcdonald proved himself a capable and trust worthy official and possesses the highest regard of all the best elements in the commun- ity. This fact received ample attestation at the time of Mar. shal Whites appointment, when a petition forwarded to him requesting MT. McDon- aids reappointment to Hydel pore the voluntary signature of practically every law abid- ing resident of the camp.
 MT. McDonald's successor nails from Idaho, where he was formerly sheriff at Salmon City and was associated with Marshal White during the lat ter's connection with the fed eral prohibition forces in that district. At the time of his ap- pointment to the local office Deputy Martin was enroute from the States to Juneau and expected to be stationed at Haines. Owing to this under, standing he was not a little surprised to find himself or. dered to Hyder when the steamer reached Ketchikan. MT. Martin is married and plans to bring his wife to Hy- der after he is settled in his new office.

BIG DEALS IN
 BIG MISSOURI STOCK

Reports received from reli. able sources in the south dur ing the past week indicate that several very large blocks o1 Big Missouri stock have re- gently been taken over by a number of prominent Tacoma people, whose identity could not be definitely ascertaineo.
 One of the purchasers is said to have invested in the neigh borhood of $100,00O, while several others acquired blocks of stock amounting to $5O,O0O or more.
 As a result of the transact ions, the Big Missouri Com pany is said to have about $450,000 in available cash in it's treasury at the present time.
 Mining stock deals of such magnitude are rare, hence, if the indicated sales have actu~ ally been consummated, they suggest that the investors pos sess extreme confidence in the future of the Big Missouri property-so much, indeed, that they are willing to stake for tunes on it's productive possi- bilities. However, the proper. ty has been under intensive de- velopment for two years ano it's potentialities are probably so we'll determined as to leave little or no doubt regarding the prospects for remunerative returns.

WORK STARTS ON TITAN

Owney McFadden has taken a contract to drive fifty feet of tunnel on the Titan and left today, Monday with an outfit and two men to com mence operations.
 The development plan pro- posed is to extend the present workings to get under a very promising surface showing, which was not located in earl fer operations. If successful in reaching this objective the tun- nel will give a depth of 275 feet on the vein.
 The Titan property is splen- didly located and possesses an excellent prospect for devel- oping into producing mine with further development, hence the progress of the new tunnel will be followed with more than averag interest locally.

FROZEN TRAPPER
 IS RESCUED

Wm. Keir, a trapper in the Meziadan lake region, was brought into Stewart Friday night suffering from a frozen foot and is now in the hospi- tai, under the care of Dr. Whillans.
 Kier was brought out of the Meziadan lake section by a re- lief party consisting of Homer Ficklin and Wm. Irwin, after Kier's partner, Victor de Pessi- mier, had made the long and toilsome journey to Stewart to secure relief for his injured companion.
 The relief party left early Tuesday morning with a dog team and arrived at the trap pers' camp Wednesday fore noon after a severe trip. After giving the injured man such temporary assistance as was possible, Ficklin and Irwin set out on the return journey with Kier in the sled and arrived at Stewart late Monday even- ing, after covering approxi- mately 95 miles of exceeding ly hard travelling.
 An examination by Dr. Whil- lans disclosed that Kier's foot was in bad shape and the loss of one toe certain, with a pros. pect that he may also lose part of the injured foot.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE URGING IMPROVED
 PASSENGER SERVICE

The Chamber of Commerce is devoting it's attention to secu1. ing much needed improve. ments in the present passenger transportation facilities be- tween Hyder and Ketchikan. As a result of the inadequate facilities provided by the small vessels of the Williams Com. pany, passenger traffic has been largely diverted to the Prince Rupert route, which, although providing excellent passenger accommodations, not only is more expensive but al- so necessitates a considerably longer time in reaching Ketch- ikan than by the direct route.
 The initial steps toward St. curing an improved servlce were taken by the Chamber o1 Commerce at the last regular meeting, with the adpotion of resolutions authorizing the sec retary to communicate with MT. Williams and request im- proved service.

through to valiant finish that drew
siren blast from the magnificent
yachts that were covered with
crimson banners.
The freshman and junior varsity
events were over the two-mile route.
The official times for the fresh
man race was Yale 9:18, Harvard
9:22. For the junior varsity race,

There usually is several ideas in
circulation about what it takes to
put. over successful golf tourna-
ment. But, when all those ideas are
put together, the tournament usually
pans out to be splendid affair.
That's just what happened in the
Colombia Club meet Thursday and
we doubt if any other links affair
the club may stage in the future
could be very much better than the
one held at the Meridian Hills
Country Club.
First of all one could play just
as much golf as was desired and still
win prize. Buck Buchanan, chair
man of the tournament committee
gathered together a mass of awards
that was second to none. 1t ran
from vinegar to a load of coal, with
a mattress sandwiched in between.
Enjoyable Dinner
After play was completed the boys
gathered at the Columbia CLUB, and
enjoyed one of those fine golf din
ners. touched off by a little idea
of Wallace O. Lee, who had a square
of green ice cream, with a piece Of
brown fudge resembling the golf
cup that held a little red flag aloft.
1t was fitting touch, preliminary
to the prize awarding.
OF course, the part of the tourna-
ment that raised the most glee was
the fact that Norman A. Perry,
president of the club, went out and
won the low net honors with a
gross 81. and a net 81, his handicap
being 25. Norman very modestly re-
fused to comment on his golf ability,
leaving that to John Ruckleshaus,
who acted as spokesman. Arch
Grossman sang the nineteenth hole
blues.
Wenzel Takes Trophy
The Perry Trophy for low gross, SO
holes, went to the youngest con-
tender in the meet, Richard WenZel,
who shot a 1885, Paul Grey with
