T the individual members of the team to which all responded vita considerable effort as they were nol forwarned to prepare for a talk. Considerable merriment was caused
 by various speeches and the feel ings of the boys could we'll be ex pressed in the words of Matt Ray TOT: 'If you only could know how l feel, but you don't, so I will thank you. Considerable laughter was en- tailed by the disappearing act of a number of the members of the Com nercial Club about the time they were called upon.
 After the dinner and speeches the assembly adjourned to the main floor of the hall where a program. was staged by members of the P. T. A Miss Keep, of the school force was the directing head of the pro- gram which was a take off by the mothers on the first grade, in school wolF. Miss Gertrude Ottness was the ''old maid" teacher, and the parents the children of the first grade" A regular recitation was pulled off of primary grade songs and readings that were a scream from start to finish. It was one of t!,e cleverest impromptu programs seen locally. Miss Helen Hunspedt gave a fine exhibition of stage danc- ing. The song by Miss Reed and Joe Kaklen was we'll rendered.
 After the dance the floor was cleared and the crowd enjoyed them selves by dancing the next hours away by music furnished by Buker's Orchestra. It was the wee hours of the morning before the crowd wended it's weary way homeWard.

Beach Squabble

"A suite involving the right Uf control of fishing rights on Sand IS land, Oregon, in the mouth of the Columbia River of Fort Stevens, opened in Federal Court, Portland. recently. The action was filed late in 1925 by the United States and I! J. Barbey, doing business as thY Barbey Packing Co.,, against the Columbia River Packers Associ,, tton and the Oregon State ., Board.
 Barbey is holder of lease from the government for the fishing rights between high and low water on Sand Island, the contract having been entered into in April, 1925, at a rental of $46,OOO a year and run ming for five years. Shortly after this contract was executed the Co., lumbia River Packers Association went to the State Land Board and received certain rights on the island from the board.
 The complaint seeks a restrain ing order prohibiting any individual or company other than the lease holder from the government from using the island as fishing ground, and to invest in the government thc undisputed title to the area between high and low water on the island.

Import Railroad Ties

The West Waterway Lumber Co.,, of Seattle was recently awarded a contract by the government to de, liver 50,OO0 ties for the Alaska Railroad. This figures up to 1900, 900 feet contracted for at $16.45 pe1 thousand or $2s,61O for tho lot.
 We don't suppose that there are any mills in Alaska to furnish ties suitable for railroad purposes nor Is there sufficient timber for the purpose. Wonder if the pulp mills will have timber shipped up from Seattle to make pulp of.

In Civilized America

The Senate findings of condi- tions in the strike area of the Penn sylvania coal fields has been unpar- ralled in the history of American in drstry for it's horrors of hunger. |irhuinanity and cruelty. The riche tt men in America, Secretary of the
 Treasury Andrew w. Mellon and
 John D. Rockefeller with their controlling interests could dominate the whole situation and end the strike if the woud. The conditions have become so intelerable that the Miners Relief Committees in the coal mintng areas of western Penn oylvania has made an appeal thru LABOR published in Washington, as follows:
 Food and children's shoes are urgently needed. Conditions are not improving; they are getting worse We can't feed the unfor- tunate on investigations and syn- pathy.
 Knowing that the railroad men have stood as a body for justice and solidarity in the past, we hope you will do likewise in the future. We appeal to you for your full hearted cooperation"
 Cash contributions should be sen to Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, N F, of L. Building, Washington.
 The call for help to relieve the condition in the above named district is a lot more cause of subscription than the call to sub scribe to Harding Memorial. Bul no doubt there is less political en- olument for helping out the victims of abused power than in getting ones name down as having honored the late President Harding.

Wrangell, Alaska April 4th, 1928
A Communication

April 4th, 1928 The Alaska Fisherman, Ketchikan, Alaska
 Gentlemen:
 In MT. Frame's interesting letter, published in a recent issue of THE ALASKAN, occurs the statemen. that I refused to join the Sons of Alaska.
 This Is not exactly so, to say the least, as I have never been asked to join them, except in pamphlets. which could not be construed as a personal solicitation.
 I cannot tell what I would have done if 1t had been properly pre- sented, but 1t Is very likely that I would have refused, as I suspected that 1t was organized with the idea of satisfying someone's personal ambition and grudges; a suspicion that Is not entirely removed, es- pecially if this letter (of Frame's) is authentic
 The fact that MT. Frame was here several days, in the interest of the organization, and did not call OF me, rather confirmed my suspicion It at least indicates that I. am not the kind of man he wants in ths organization, probably because I am known as a friend of Dan Suther- land and Wm. Paul, and, possibly because I am a sincere and real friend of Home Rule.
 Very truly yours,
 CHARLES BENJAMIN

Arrow resigned from Scotland

as chief Of the detective staff at

he says, I would start at Wash

made to realize that criminals should
be punished and not pampered. The
machinery of the administration of
justice needs q drastic overhaul.
Murderers must no longer be al
lowed to escape capital punishment

Famous Horseman, Georgia

Just as Speedy
LACK GOOD PUNTER
Says That Southern State Win

LACK GOOD PUNTER

NNGA OSIv1Ce 0pOEt8 WIltef)
One doesn't offer much opportun-
ity for criticism by volunteering the
belief that the greatest backfield
ever assembled was the one Knute
Rockne had 1t Notre Dame in 1924
and which was and still is known as
the Four Horsemen.
It is possible, perhaps, that great
er individual backs may be named
and that squads Of a-larger number
Of good backs may be offered. But
TOR just four backs who could and
did do everything asked Of them,
the choice seems to be rather uni
versally agreed upon as Notre Dame.
Don Miller, who now coaches
backfield candidates at Georgia
Tech, was . member Of the immortal
backfield. Which, you might say,
makes any comparison Of backfields
he gives rather interesting.
!. Miller. talking football recently,
made such Q comparison.
Il think this Georgia backfield will
be just about the finest in the land
this year." he said. "You cant beat
= backfield composed Of johnson at
quarter, Hooks and Dudley ut halves
and McCrary 1T, fullback."
do you think they compare with
the immortal Four Horsemen of
Notre Dame? he was asked.
Absolutely" Miller answered.
His words were said in all SINGER
ity and earnestness and If you know
Miller you also know that his state
naent was not . gesture at throwing
. few floral offerings at Jimmy
Crowley, his All-America teammate
who is coaching the Georgia back
field.
In many ways, the Georgia back
field, all Of whom are seniors and
teammates this year for the fourth
successive year, reminds you of that
famous Notre Dame backfield. And
they are similar in many respects
although they vary by comparison
in many angles.
Georgia's regular backs are
heavier than the Four Horsemen
were. They are more of the charg-
ing type. but they are not as shifty
nor quite as versatile in open field
runningA
The Georgians have three good
passers. So did Notre Dame. But
no member Of the Georgia backfield
can punt like Layden did. Georgia
used its great end, SILVER, for the
punting last year, but Quarterback
Johnson will, handle that task this
season. He's pretty good.
In speed, the two backfields are
about the same. McCrary, fullback

in 1927.
Georgia gets its real test of the
season on Oct. Is when it makes its
annual pilgrimage to battle Yale at
New Haven. They defeated the Yale
eleven last fall, the only eleven to
turn the trick.
Crowley is not saying much. He
never does. But he knows his backs
will do their stuff this fall if-the
line is in there. Those two great
ends are missing, but the rest Of the
line is practically intact and the new
ends are looking fine.
But mark you this-those Georgia
backs are good. And they probably
will get better as the season goes.
