TIE WAMC CAT
(By "Cannonball" Baker)

At approximately 10 o'clock last Thursday night the door of the local gym were thrown wide open and a wild mob of basketball mad" fans poured forth into the forsty street. It was a hectic night. The names of two or three men were on every body's lips Wherever you went in town you would hear of them and of how those boys could sure play that old game of basketball
 Clark Andresen, Chief and Ebert Kuntz, our new flash from the Paci- fife Coast. And altho it wasn't in the cards for them to win, neverthe- less the brand of basketball displayed by this trio of stars last Thursday night could hardly be improved up- on. Bath played wonderful heady game and is tough bird to handle once he takes the floor Bud Dyer also played a good game.
 The Army played their usual hard game and were slightly handicapped in that one of their speed merchants "Galloping" Galloway, was slightly off his feed, having been sick for two days prior to the big game, but he came thru nobly just the same. Trying to pick out stars" from the Army squad is tough proposition. and with the exception of cole Can nonball," who is getting old and stiff, all of them sure made a smooth working combination. Clarke Andre sen attributes their defeat to the pre- sence of the band which, he claims, had his team hypnotized and com 5letely under it's spell.

We think that is great idea as we'll as corking good tooth ex- tractor. Ask "Cannonball;" he will youch for it's efficiency in that res pect. Bath claims it eliminates all local interference and static. Our radio officer should investigate this.
 The High School boys will play the City 'All Stars" in the next game. Wednesday night and another fast game is in prospect.

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION

Ii the game wardens of Alaska pay for themselves and upkeep thru the large amount of seizures made The Gateway would like to be informed why game warden stationed in Seward would not be profitable to the Com mission. The old familiar tune of the Commission not having sufficient appropriations to have game wardens stationed at dozen of points throughout the Territory where the Commission admits they are sorelv needed. seems to be rather shot full of holes
 The news that in the spring at least one or two com mercial airplanes will be stationed in Seward will be welcomed not only by the citizens of this city but by the travelling public at large Distance and time will again be shattered. .s0.-l

 \ seaport Built By King
 Hull is the only port of the Brit ish Isles deliberately founded by the King as a shipping center. Edward I was attracted hy the favorable To- cation of the medieval village of Wyke, at the junction Of the River Hull with the Humber. about tW"n- ty-two miles from open sens. He granted the citizens q charter and changed the name Of the new port to kluGStOn-upon- Hull, which k still the official designation of the city. Edward offered inducements to set tiers and later mOnarcha granted further charters and permits to hold fairs. In later centuries hurgh- CTS of Hull do not appear to have taslled so largely in royal favor. Re f4sal Of the city 10 admit Charles l within it's gates is considered one of the opening acts Of the English Civil War.
 Andrew MarrpU, secretary to rIivor Cromwell and colleague of the poet Milton, was one Of Hulis aistinguishe1 Puritan sons. In later years another native Of the York shire port William Wilb"rforco, lead the movement for abolition of elav- cry in British colonies. Njlherforce Monument is one of the striking ! features of the modern city.
 The older portion of Hull is an island formed by rivers on two sides and docks on the others. In l this congostcd district are narrow streets and a few quaint houses dat ing from the ctty's remote past. Here is Holy Trinity Church, one ot { he largest parish churches in Eng land. In its great central tower are bricks brought over from the Low Countries. marking the beginning of the use of brick in church archi- lecture. Some fine stained glass was destroyed by an air raid in 1918 Nearby are the quaint buildings of inc Grammar School. erected toward the end of the sixteenth century where the Puritan Marvcll was cdu- catcd.

Cars and pedestrians are inspected
at the customs house to prevent the
smuggling of any goods to Mexico
without payment of duty, but red
tape in entering the southern republic
is noticeable through it's absence.
After being passed by the federal
officers, you go a few feet through
the large gate and are out of the
jurisdiction of "Uncle Sam"
After crossing the line another in
spection is called for. this time by the
officers of the Mexican government,
who are stationed there to see that
no goods coming under the dutiable
imports are taken into their country.
This inspection over, and the in
spections on each side of the line
require only a few seconds, and you
are at liberty to make your way to
the Arizona Club or see the other
sights of the Mexican village.
The club is within few yards of
United States soil and is the largest
building in the town. It is a struc-
ture $50 feet deep and with a $50
foot frontage.

The greater part of the trip from
Douglas to Naco and the club is over
paved highway. The pavement is fol-
lowed to the town of Lowell, north
west of here. At Lowell turn to the
south is made over a gravel highway.
This highway is kept in good con-
oition by the county and further
improvements to bring it to even a
higher standard are being made at
the present time.
Eight miles south of Lowell are the
twin villages of Naco, Arizona, and
Naco, Sonora, Mexico. Each num-
bers only a few hundred inhabitants.
The highway leads up the main
street of Naco, Arizona, to the inter

Spring valley and in Old Mexico.
It was not until the early eighties
that any real effort was made to eX-
ploit the Chiricahuas, and then few
pioneers settled in the lower canyons.
A saw mill was set up in Turkey
Greek, lumber was hauled by bull
team to Tombstone, Benson, Wilcox
and even as far as Globe. Later an
other mill was erected in Rock Creek
and still later, in the year 1898, a
mill was transported to Barfoot Park
The old saw mill road still winds it's
way up through Pine Canyon, past
Ida'S Peak, on past Riggs summer
home, and thence up the western
slope of the mountains into Barfoot
Park. Another road was constructed
by these pioneers, from Barfoot Park
up over the "top'', through Barfoot
Saddle, where one may stand today
and look to the west over the Sui
phur Spring valley, on over the
Dragons and Whetstones, to see in
the distance the peaks of the Cata-
linas north of Tucson.
If one will but let his gaze wander
to the east, Cave Greek basin, sur
rounded by saffron, gold, purple and
copper cliffs to height of 1000 feet,
lies just at your feet and seemingly
within reach. Over the tops of these
gigantic cliffs, guarding the entrance
to Cave Greek, the PelloncillaS and
Guadalupe mountains burst into view,
they in turn to be overshadowed by
the blue haze of the Sierra Madres,
far to the south and east, in Old
Mexico.
just below, along the old Pioneer
road, is one of the finest thickets of
aspen in the mountains Slender sap
lings adorned with the ever -quivering
aspen leaf, reach up for sunlight,
while stately pines and spruce, to the
height of 200 feet, stand guard over
their lesser brothers below. At this
time of the year the mountains are
carpeted with a profusion of ferns.
From this bed of verdant green, wild
flowers of every known color and hue
thrust their heads. The blue and
white Of the larkspur mingles with
the vivid red of Indian Paint, while
the white violet and yellow daisy vie
with each other for their share of
glory.

SCOUT BAND is
PROGRESSING IN
RAPID FASHION

A boy scout band of 40 pieces is a
new and growing organization in Doug
las through the efforts of the boy
scout board and the Douglas KiwaniS
club.
William P. Hanson, with years of
experience behind him in band work,
has been engaged to direct the band.
He formerly directed a large boys
band in Pullman, Wash, and in other
places. Hanson is an accomplished
CornetiSt.
Band practices are being held regu-
larly and the organization is rounding
into shape. With the opening of school
this fall additions are expected to
bring it up to SO or 60 piece band.
The Kiwanis club sponsored the pur-
chase of a number of instruments for
the boys several weeks ago. Boys who
have their own instruments are al
lowed to use them if they are in good
condition and in tune.
None other than boy scouts are al
lowed to join the band. The minimum
age limit for scouts is II, but the or
ganization accepts younger lads, calling
them "cub scouts"
Concerts by the scout band will be

The Mexican border is noted all

The club is on good highway and

club is not only drawn from the
county by any means, for it is a popu-
