 spell of the Yukon
 The old gold rush days. he ex= plained, are definitely over. The hordes of prospectors come no more. Gold mining is in the hands of big companies. There is still .the Spell of the Yukon but it is a spell wrought by an exqusitely different climate and e9arming people and scenery, which lure 23.0O0 tourists a year.
 Doctor Diyen's headquarters are in Wrangell on the southeast coast. where he is in charge of Alaska's oldest Protestant church. He has services in English and Indian lan- guage each Sunday, the latter through an interpreter. and Sunday school for white and Indian ehil- dren together The Indian children speak English and aspire to be loo per cent Americans.
 On the whole the people. Indian and white. are more law=a bfding Shan We are in the States he add ed. "They never lock their doors except during the salmon season.

Radio No=Novelty

What I should like to stress is that we are home folks, Radio? It is the radio fans paradise. There is almost no interference, and States programs from as far east as Pittsburgh come in generally speaking, more clearly than here. Then anyone who cares to stay up till 30 a. III. can hear Australian and Japanese programs just as clearly. The Australian music, l think, comes in even more clearly. .
 Wages are usually lower than in the States, he admitted, and the cost of living is about twenty-five per cent higher.
 Doctor Diyen spoke yesterday morning at Pine Street Presbyterian Church. The pastor. Dr. C. Waldo Cherry, was a fellow student in Western Seminary at Pittsburgh. Last night he attended services at St. Stephens Episcopal Church, ae- companied by Governor Fisher, with whom he is staying He will leave Harrisburg today, and expects to return to Alaska late in January.

JACKIE FIELDS
GIVES BEATING
TO CALLAHAN

Los ANGELES, Now Mushy
Callahan $ return to the ring was
marrcd by a second defeat last night
when Jackie Fields gave the Junior
weltcrweight champion boxing
lesson in 10 rounds at the Olympic
auditorium.
The first six rounds were all in
Jackie's favor He weayed about
jabbing with his left and following
with driving lefts and rights to the
head. He had Mushy covering up
TO weather the storms and by the
time the seventh round opened had
only to coast along to win.
II was then that Mashy, reaiiz-
ing his desperate straits, opened up
with everything he had. He revert.
I'D to his favprites left to the stom-
ach and right to the head, Mushy
got by in the seventh, taking the
round, but when the next canto
came around he found Jackic's left
sticking in his face.
Fields, though he appeared trifle
tired and less speedy, was still too
fast for Mushy in the last three
rounds and again took the lead al
though Callahan made desperate eff
forts to turn the tide deeisively.
Callahan did not make as good n
showing against Fields as he did
against Dick Hoppe at Hollywood a
week ago. Since his long layoff
the champion seems to have lost
something of his old time skill. If
anything, last night s bout was too
one sided.
Billy Burke took six-round de
cision from Benny Chavez in the
semi windup. Eddie Gill drove jim
my Lavcnthal about for rather
easy victory in the six-round special
event.
Jimmy Lucas got the nod over
Johnny Cruz in four rounds and Bill
Tommey defeated George, Fleming
over the same distance.

CENTRAL UNION
ENDS SEASON
AT HOL TWLLE.

Coach Armstrong; Central Union
gridders were resting up today in
preparation for their final battle of
the 1927 grid season ar Holtville to-
morrow afternoon. The team ran
through signals and was given
"skull' practice during the after
noon session. They will seek to reg
lister their first victory over the
Wolves in an effort to get out of
the cellar position. The game will
get going at 2:30 o'clock.
If both Calexico, who meets Braw
ley, and Holtville should win in the
Thanksgiving day battles, the two
teams will be tied for league honors.
Each will have won five of the six
games played or if both teams lose
they will each have won four out
of six.
Holtvillc had hard time licking
the Central team at the local field,
nosing them out by l4l3 tally
but the Holtville boys decidedly
licked Brawley twice, which twice
tied with Central Calexico should
have little difficulty in downing
Brawley on its home field while
Holtvillc, a favorite over Central,
faces much stiffer fight.
Central, however, is considerably
crippled. Hamilton and Gillett may
be out of the Turkey Day game
from injuries suffered in Saturday IS
tussle. Hamilton suffered a severe
arm injury, the ligaments being bad
" torn while Gillctt injured a foot.
Cavos, who has been out of the
game all season with leg injuries,
is not expected to don uniform.
Haskell, Obergfclle, Hurst and
Mcbride viii probably take the
baekfield positions to start the con
test.
