Their peti- tion seeking the support Of the dele gates was in circulation when Presi- dent Coolidge delivered his address Of welcome and it met with prompt approval.

Editor in chief, Seward Gateway" Seward, Alaska Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
 l hope you will pardon me, fol calling your attention to an issue oi your weekly paper, July Is, 1928, re- lative to an article of "Squaw liar bor," in which you state that the hospital is in charge of English Surgeon.
 Now l assure you, indeed appre- ciate all that you say, but I wish 10 inform you that though born in Eng land, received post graduate work in London, England, I have been a citizen of the U. s. A. since 1893. and still in my forty's. It has always been my policy of thought, that if I was making my bread and butter, supporting my family, living in France, would be a Frenchman. and obey it's laws, or likewise any other nation, but thank God, there is only one nation that is good for me, suffice the United States of America otherwise I would not have served Ter during the worlds last war.
 The writer was fortunate enoug1 to come in personal contact with 2 r~oot ~vn1her O. Alaska Toys while situated at the Base Hospital, Camp Dodge, Iowa, during the epidemic of 'Influenza,' and well may Alaska be proud of those men, who came out of this Northland to protect and stand for those things in life which are of honorable and righteous nature.
 l enjoy reading your paper and it is indeed credit and asset to any community and deserving of unlimited support.
 Sincerely yours,

BY J. G.. MacGREGOR
Tribune Shorts Editor

Fargo, n. D., Feb. l1.--North Da-
kota University overwhelmed the
North Dakota agricultural college
cagcrs here last night by score Of
AZ TO %.
The pllcky Bison were simply
outclassed, the rangy, accurate
passing, deadly shooting five from
Grand Forks carrying too many
guns for the Fargoans.
Vic Brown, Valley City boy, had
a field day, ringing up a total Of
seven field goals and one free throw,
while Levy Lee and Harold Eberly,
another Valley City duo, accounted
for 20 more points.
Paul Boyd, Boulder. Colo, boy,
shifted from forward to guard,
proved that he is an outstanding
defensive player by completely
stopping Dutch Hermer. the crack
Bison forward, while accounting the
six additional varsity points.
Bobby Hahn and Pete Gergen
were the bright lights Of the college
quintet on both offensive and defen-
sive, and they proved to be sterling
performers.
The Pink and Green presented a
stall and break game that time and
again fooled the Aggie defense,
Ietich's six-footers sweeping under
the hoop for many close shots.
Scoring efforts Of the Bison were
confined to long shorts from the
middle of the floor, so impregnablc
was the university dcfens~.

DR.. Otto Peltzer, who says his pri-
NAL motive for invading American

learned one lesson from an unas-
Stunning athlete from the tall corn
state Of Iowa, Ray Conger.
Before wild cheering throng of
5000 spectators last night in the
Tanbark arena of the Chicago Rid

ace to the tape in the 1,00O-meter
race by a good 10 yards. It was
Peltzer's second race in America
and his first defeat.
The time, 2:37, was comparative
~ slow. The worlds indoor record

II have nothing to say about this
defeat" Peltzer replied to questions
and consultations. "All I can say is
that ! hope Mr.. Conger and | can

to win on the track, but winning

Later. to the queries of track CT

to and that the turns were tou
sharp.
"but about the defeat? Nc, no,

Off SEASON SPECULATION MAKES
ANITA PEABODY DERBY FAVORITE

on which probably will be taken at
the first official meeting.
As. in the past few years. the
opening dates Of the Churchill Downs
meeting will be one week in advance
of the running of the Derby and at
least Fl days will be asked for the
spring races. This would give the
Downs four Saturdays and Decora-
ton Day for the feature events.
Speculation as to the probable
Derby favorite in the winter books
is going forward and while Anita
Peabody, the peerless filly owned by
Mrs. John D. Hertz, of Chicago,
should occupy that position due to
her splendid victories in 1927, past
records Of the Derby loom before her.
In 81 years, but one filly, Harry
Payne. Whitney's Regret, has an
nexed the Derby. That was in 1915.
In seven starts during 1927, Anita
Peabody was defeated but once and
in that race she placed third. Her
winnings placed her at the top Of
horses of all ages for the year with
$111,865 credited to her owner. She
won two races in as many days, MAX
ing her first start May IL at Church
i'll Downs and winning the Debu-
tante Stakes at the same track the
following day.
Besides Anita Peabody and her
equally brilliant stable-mate, Reign
Count, other nominations for the
coming Derby undoubtedly will in
clude Ariel, Nassak, Toro, Dicing,
Glade, Bateau, Grocher, Wacker
Drive, Republic, Vito and Greenock.
The listing closes in February and
there is little, doubt. that the field
will show an. outstanding class of
three year olds.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 11.-(AP)-
Many stellar riders, like the higher
class horses, have gone into winter
quarters, with the end Of the Ken
lucky, Maryland and Chicago race
meetings, leaving the field to the
jockeys with lesser regulations and
to the coming apprentices.
Only some big winter attraction,
such as the New Orleans Handicap
and the Coffroth, offer inducement
enough to the higher paid saddle art
lists to accept mounts.
Earle Sande is in Europe, and his
unfortunate ride in the Pimlico Fu-
turity automatically disbarred him
from further participation on the
tracks, of course, until. later date.
Lavernc Fator, rider of the Rancocos
Stable, and Pony McAtee both are
out Of the saddle until the spring
races. Mack and Willie Garner have
announced their intention of hanging
up the silks for the winter.
Mack, who was a favorite with
race-goers on the Western tracks,
has signed for the coming season
with William Ziegler, Jr., for whom
he rode during the fall. Willie will
ride for johnson NJ. Camden, presi-
dent of the Kentucky Jockey Club,
who obtained his contract at q figure
reputed to be higher than. ever paid
previously for Western rider.
Now that Colonel Matt J. VIM
has announced the date desired for
the 54th renewal of the Kentucky
Derby as May 10, it remains for
