ANNOUNCEMENT BY
U. S. FOREST SERVICE

The observance of American Forest Week in Alaska while it has met with almost universal resbonse in Southeastern Alaska has not been al- together satisfactory because of the impossibility of sending material to the outlying sections of the Terri tory. The American Forest Week Committee for Alaska. after careful ly considering this problem, decided that if We wish to insure universal observance of this anniversary we must adopt some plan whereby all of the people may be brought into con- tact with the problems that must be solved. We believe that the schools are the best medium to achieve this purpose. Accordingly. the Forest Service, at the request cs the Ameri- can Forest Week Committee, has pre- pared a series of 21 lessons embrace ing all phases of forestry and it's kindred subjects. These lessons have been mailed to all of the schools throughout the Territory.
 It is the plan to have each school devote one hour each week to a study of these lessons and at the end of the school year the pupils in the elemen- tary classes will be asked to write story or essay about some phase of the subjects which they have studied. Gold medals will be offered for the best essays in each division and a grand trophy will be awarded to the school from which the best essay from the Territory is selected. The gold medal will be given in each di- vision for the best essay from the schools maintained by the Bureau of Education and one from the schools which are operated under Territorial control
 The lessons as printed, contain outlines of the various phases of AL aska forestry and forest life, and as an appendix a list of the various kinds of trees and shrubs commonly found in the Territory, so that pupils may correctly identify each species. Some of the lessons are designed to show how trees reproduce, their rate of growth, the age of the trees, and local uses of timber. Following these lessons number of pages are devot- ed to the study of forest fires, their cause and effect, together with a brief discussion on the prevention of these fires.
 The forage resources in their con nection with grazing of livestock and particularly with relation to the reindeer industry are fully discussed by a member of the U. s. Biological Survey.
 The purpose of these lessons is to inform the people of Alaska concern ing the timber resources and wild life and enlist their support in the pre- Vention of forest and range fires. We believe that if the people are fully awakened to the danger that may be done by fires and are acquainted with the value of these resources they will gladly respond and lend their efforts to their preservation.

Missing Fishermen
ANOTHER BEAR STORY

Jack Manhattan brings the follow ing bear story to Fairbanks from Nome creek, where he was sharing a cabin with Louis Smith prospector and trapper. The two men had been out hunting and brought in two cari- bou and a sheep and hung a quarter of the sheep outside the cabin door. Furthermore, they were so energetic that they decided to clean out the cabin and moved everything, includ- ing rifles, tables and chairs, outside so they could muck out They were busily engaged inside the cabin when they heard noise outside and Louis looked out to see what it was about. A big glacier bear had torn the quar- ter of meat off the hook and was about to enjoy himself. He made a swipe at Louis which would have torn him loose from his mukluks had it landed. Louis ducked back into the cabin and bolted the door. In fact there was nothing else to do. The men were inside and the bear was outside, dragging the meat away.
 Louis cautiously opened the door again and reached for his rifle, just around the door jamb, and then sighted through the latch hole, plug ging MT. Bruin before he disappeared in the trees. Louis thought he had seriously wounded the animal as it dropped the meat and tore around in the underbrush. The men were about to sally forth armed to the teeth, when another bear was seen trying to climb the ladder to the cache where the rest of the fresh meat was stored.
 They shot this bear and it went off into the woods growing. They waited for some time, not knowing how deadly their shots had been, and here is the point of the whole story: When they finally went out and found that the two bears were dead. they came back to inspect their cache and found all the meat gone. A third bear, which they believe had been reconnoitering the premises. got to the cache. got the meat and got away.

WILD CATTLE ROAM
 FORGOTTEN RANGE

CoRDoyA--C Clanking chains, the echoes of the ghosts of former Rus sian penal sufferers, are heard while the winds moan over Chirakoff is land and no native will go there. place for the propagation of furs in some of them to go to the marts the westward.
 But the land is to be made the birthplace of sheep and cattle by the McCord Alaska Company, and has a place for teh propagation of furs in the newer industrial development to the westward.
 Furthermore, there will be, ac- cording to McCord, the farthest west rodeo next spring when 500 bulls will be rounded up for beef purposes, and some of them to go to the marts of the world as testimony of the fact that some 30 years ago the islands to the westward would produce good beef
 There are 1000 head of cattle on the island as the result of the propa- gation instituted by Charles Frye of the Frye-Bruhn company, and others who had the idea at that time live stock could be successfully raised. to the herd of cows. The younger bulls
 Stock was put on the island, but subsequent development, what with the late wars and one thing or an- other. including the difficulty in approaching and landing on the is- land, caused the originators of the idea to forget it and pocket their loss.
 In the meantime the cattle lived and had their being. There were many battles which resulted in some of the larger bulls taking charge of teh herd of cows. The younger bulls and the outcasts banded together and put up such a formidable front that white men were scared off the beach. In other words, the cattle have had the island to themselves for 30 years
 There is a new deal on in which white men will demonstrate their au- thority over brute force The tides throw enough piles and timber against the desolate ocean washed shores of the island to make fairly good run-ways for getting the cattle off. Horses are already being sent in and real cowboys will be hired to drive the bulls to the beach where they will be handled for beef and the best fitted will be turned back to the range for breeding purposes.
 Prominent bankers in New York who are interested in the propoga- tion of livestock on the westward is- lands will witness the spectacle, the like of which has never been seen in far Western America, and perhaps will never be seen again on the con inent or islands. Movie men have signified their intention of being present at the roundup. 5,
 Some of the bulls are said to be wild as deer even though they weigh 200 pounds. The best of the bull stock will be saved and full-bred Galloway bulls and cows raised by the Alaska experiment. station at Ko- diak will be sent to the island by the McCord company for the introduce tion of new blood.
 In the meantime blue foxes have gained strong hold on the island and will part of the company's ac- tivities.

STANFORD COACH
URGES TWO-TEAM
FOOTBALL PLAN

\
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calf.
Jan. Is (P)-Glenn Seobey Warner
veteran Stanford coach, came out to-
day as an advocate of the two-team
football system, an idea that will be
given a trial by several nidwestern
universities next season.
Faced with the problem of having
more players represent their alma
mater, Warner has devised the fol-
lowing plan:
Divide the squad into two teams,
one being composed of seniors and
the other of juniors. Sophomores
will fill in as substitutes on both
elevens.
Neither team would be considered
the first varsity, being classed "A''
and "B" to suit the purpose. The
elevens would represent Stanford on
alternate Saturdays.
Stanford's schedule is so arranged
that the juniors would be called upon
to meet Washington and Southern
California if the seniors played against
California in the annual 'Ebig game.
A majority of the veterans next
season will be seniors. 1t is expected
that Warmers plan will be submitted
to the faculty and students for study.
Critics point out that while the
proposition would enable twice as
many players to participate, it would
also weaken the Cardinals.

SENATOR'S GIVE
t RIS SPEAKER
EASE FEB. |

TAMPA, Fla, Jan. 25 GP-Tris
Speaker today had apparently passed
out Of the drama as far as the 1928
Washington Senator'S are concerned
Clark Griffith, president of the club
announced today that the famous
"Spoke" was Internationally released
effective Feb. l.
Informed of the action, Speaker
had little to say at Georgetown, S. c.,
where he is visiting on a hunting
trip.
"Too much salary and desire by
the baseball public at Washington
for a younger club" were given by
Griffith as the reason for releasing
the. scenterfielder.
II am the property of the Senators
until Feb. l and there the matter
rests
The first intination that the re-
lease might be given came the first
of this week when Griffith at Tampa
where the Senators will train, an
nounced that unless Speaker volun-
tarily reduced his own salary he
would be released.
Speaker at that time said he
thought it was Griffiths place to
make him an offer, not his to name
his own salary.
i Griffith reiterated that the action
was the "best for all concerned and
that he and Speaker were parting the
best of friends.
f Although the centerfielder played
good baseball during the year he
was in Washington uniform, Griffith
said he was not worth the salary
he received last year and that rather
than offer him new contract for
less money, the club owner decided
to givS- him his unconditional release
Speakers salary last year is under
stood to have been between $4,000
and 100000.

FAKE TELEGRAM
'DECOYS SHARKEY
TO RISKO BOUT

NEW YORK, Jan. Is (P)-The ele-
ments of farce entered the So
called heavyweight elimination busi-
ness today, with the customary de-
| tails of suspense, the faxed tele-
gram and the grand climax all in
volved in the signing of Jack Shar-
key and Johnny Risko for a 15-round
match in Madison Square Garden on
March 12
The stage pictures yesterday re-
vealed Jess Mcmahon, Tex Richards
matchmaker, hurrying to Boston for
consultation with Sharkeys mana
ger, haggling for "a hours over terms,
finally conceding Sharkey "shot'' at
Gene Tunney as the reward of VIC
tory over Risko and, with this flour
ishing climax, clinching the match
1t turns out, instead; that there
was no haggling, except to give the
appearance of prolonged controversy;
that the match was ready to be sign
ed at any time; tl1%H the reputed
telegram from Tex Rickard, promis-
ing Sharkey the first bout with Tun-
ney was only a hoax to influence
Johnny Buckley, Sharkey's manager;
and that no assurances were given to
Sharkey about title engagement.
The joker in the plot, whether cal
culated or not, was that Buckley,
jealous to have the Sharkey bally-
hoo, gave out to newspapermen in
Boston as authentic the text of
Richards alleged telegram, which, in
fact, had been framed by Mcmahon
as a decoy
Today Buckley, in Boston, had this
to say:
"It may have been real or they
may have sent one to themselves and
put one over on me. I don't know.
OF course all the contract calls for
is a fight with Risko but one thing
is certain I was promised bout
with Tunney if Jack shows we'll

egainst Risko and I'll take that bout
or nothing"
Here's McNIahon's version.
"Sharkey signed only for Risko. No
conditions or strings are attached to
it about a future title bout with Tun-
ney or match with anyone else. The
Sharkey- -Risko bout has the same
status in the elimination series eis the
Heeney-Delaney bout on March l.
If Buckley took that telegram serious
ly it's his own funeral. We fixed 1T
up as a decoy, but had no Intention

some time have declared that he

Houston, and have predicted that he

Declaring in his statement today
that "for some months thousands of
people in all parts of the United

matches will be arranged SO Jones
and Gum will be away from Atlanta
only on Week-ends in order that
Quinn, who is a student at Georgia
Tech, will not miss classes.
In speaking Of ths plan, Bobby
said:
For my part, I had planned not
to play any tournament or exhibition
golf at all this spring, unless the
southern open again should have
been played in Atlanta, when, of
course, should have entered Since
that fixture is to be transferred,
was reasonably certain should not
play. But this fund matter, of course,
is something else. Mr.. Doonall says
