AIMING AT A TARGET

TT HAS always seemed strange to
be drawn into contests in which they
haven't chance of winning.
couple Of centuries ago promi-
nent citizens who knew nothing of
duelling were always getting them
selves killed in dues. A man who
knew nothing Of fencing would allow
himself to be drawn into an affair in
which rapiers were the only weapons
A fellow who had never fired a gun
in his life would consent to "shoot
1t out" with crack shot.
OF course, the expert fencer and
the crack shot always talked quite
loudly of honor and made the anna
teurs think that they would be COW
ards if they didn't fight according to
professional rules.
The victims apparently never
stopped to think that instead of turn,
ing out at daybreak with cuIasses
and flintlocks they might punch their
enemies on the nose with equal honor
to themselves and q much greater
possibility of success.
Far from it. They always went
nobly to the slaughter And their hon
orable opponents seldom hesitated to
accommodate them.
Duelling. fortunately, is today al
most lost art Fisticufiing is much
more general and considerably less
harmful.
Yet men and women still let them
selves in for contests in which their
chances of success are negligible.
College students weighing 120
pounds are seen trying for the var
sity football team. They may excel
their big associates forty ways as
scholars, debaters or glee-club artists
Yet they forget all about their SUI
periorities and try to vie in rough
ness with 200 Founders. And they
are seldom successful.
In this case the "old college spirit
replaces honor as a war cry.
Here is man who is good teach

SUTHERLAND MAY
 NOT RUN AGAIN

Hon, Dan A. Sutherland, Dele- gate to Congress from Alaska. elected for his fifth term, at the recent election in the Territory, came south from Juneau on the steamer Admiral Rogers, reaching Seattle Saturday, and on the eve- ming of the same day took passage for the National Capital. He had been in Alaska since the spring, taking passage for Nome on the first sailing of the steamer Vie toria, and has been pretty much all over the Territory since that time.
 The Delegate expressed pleasure at his reelection although his vote was not as large as in his former years. Although he did not say so, his friends say that this will be his last term as Delegate; that when his present term ends, he will go to the Ruby placer camp in Interior Alaska and open up some placer ground that he has long held. He mined there before he was elected to Congress. In a quiet way he has carried on de- velopment work, through trusted

GOOD NATURE WAS CAMPAIGN FEATURE
 SAYS REV. MIR. RICE

The Rev. Charles F. Rice, Dean of Trinity Cathedral who has just returned from attendance at the Episcopal Convention at Washing ton, says the most noticeable thing to him about the spirited Presiden- tial campaign that terminated in the great Hoover victory, was the good nature displayed everywhere he visited. He says there was a lot of good natured banter, but none of the angry disputations that have in the past characterized hot ly contested political battles. He says the feeling everywhere was that the Presidential candidates of both parties were men of the highest class and both splendidly competent. He says prohibition occupied a minor part in the con- test-that prosperial and, under meath and usually out of sight of casual observers. religion were the main issues of the campaign.
 The Rev. MT Rice enjoyed the sessions of the big convention and his visit to Washington. Richmond, New York and other places. He met former Alaskans everywhere, particularly in Washington, where they did everything possible to make things pleasant for him.
 He was away for two months, having left Juneau September 21. He spent few days in Ketchikan on his way home.
 Bishop P. T. Rowe had not re- turned from the East when MT. Rice reached Seattle.

TERHUNE LEAVES ON
 ANNUAL TRIP EAST;
 SEEKS LARGER FUND

To present the recommendations of the Alaska Game Commission to the Secretary of Agriculture and support estimates for next years appropriations for that or ganization's work, H. W. Tarhune, Executive Secretary of the Com mission and Alaska Agent for the Bureau of Biological Survey, will leave tomorrow for Seattle enroute to Washington, D. c.
 While the length of his stay is indeterminate, it is not expected he will return until shortly after the first of next year. While he is in Washington, he will prepare the 1929 Official Circular contain ing regulations governing the talk ing and killing of game and fur bearing animals.
 MT Terhune hopes to be able to secure an increase in the commis- sion's annual appropriation. More funds. he declared, are urgently needed for it's field work, to pro. vide more wardens and more ade- quate transportation. He is con- fident he will have the support of Paul c. Redington, Chief of the Biological Survey who is familiar with conditions with which the Commission contends in it's ad- ministration of game and fur re- sources of Alaska. He spent al- most the entire summer here this year and covered a large part of the more accessible sections.

cure hospital treatment and seeing
that their families did not suffer while
these claims were pending. At the
same time Red Cross workers in
camps and hospitals assisted an aver
age of nearly 10000 men each month
and arranged during the year more
than $4,000 recreation and entertain
