Tanana and Yukon Indians Hold Big
 POtlatCh in July
Natives Make Merry For Two Weeks At Tanana, Where Ancient Tribal Ceremonies Were Re- enacted.
(Fairbanks News-Miner)

Tanana was the gathering place last month, for natives from many points aling the Panama and Yukon rivers who came together to hold big potlatch, according to Peter Yachon, who returned to Fairbanks 8 few days ago after making a trip .o Tanana.
 Led by their tribal chieftains, about 250 Indians congregated at Panama. he says, and for two weeks the ancient ceremonies of Alaska were re-enacted. Some of the lead- CTS were Chief Peter Henry of CrossJacket and his wife; Chief AL bert of Tanana and his wife; form CT Chief Jestin, an important medi- cine man; former Chief Matthews of Tanana and his wife; Chief Johnny Smoke and his wife from Stevens Village; Chief Pitka, a bachelor, of kokrines and Chief Jimmy Charley and wite lilly from Minto.
 Thousands of dollars worth of presents were given away during the festivities, MT. Vachon declared, and the potiatch was one of the biggest held along the river for many years. Shortly before 1t open ed, Chief Matthews was married to Jenny Evan, wife of Chief Andrew Evan of the Crossjacket Indians, who died about three years ago af- ter. a long rule. #.#s- .4=
 All Chief Andrews heirlooms and Drized possessions were given away during the potlatch to relatives and friends. Among the heirlooms was an old spear handed down to him by his father, who ruled over the Crossjacket tribe all his life. The spear came first, it is believed, from Chief Andrews great-great-great grandfather and was used in early days before the advent of firearms to kill brown bear and other big game. A fine moosehide coat, bead ed and fur-trimmed, which had been prized by the chief, was pre- sented to a relative in accordance with native custom. There were also valuable necklaces and other articles which were distributed. The potlatch was given in honor ot Chief Andrew Evan and other nota- ble dead of the Tanana and Yukon valleys.
 In two weeks time Chief Henry and his wife gave away $4,0O0 worth of Hudson Bay blankets, leather suitcases and bags, guns and clothing. Presents distributed by former Chief Jestin and his wife were worth about $2,000 and Albert

ED KENNA Baking
At GR|FFS' TERMS
Catcher Spurns Three Differ
ent Contracts-O'Doul,
Wilson Also Kicking.

BY the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, January 26.-
Salary differences are holding up the
contracts of two big league players, both
residents of this city.
Frank Lefty" O'Doul, husky out
fielder Of the Philadelphia Nationals
and Eddie Kenna, catcher for the
Washington Senators, both are. dis
satisfied with terms offered them.
O'DoulS contract calls for the sar,e
salary as he received from the New
York Giants last season, but the former
San Francisco Seal star feels that he
should have an increase.
Kenna has returned three unsigned
contracts so far.
PHILADELPHIA, January 26 GP).-
Jimmy Wilson, catcher of the st. Louis
Nationals, has refused to sign the 1929
contract offered by the Cardinals.
Wilson, who was traded to the Cardi-
mails last season by the Phillies, today
said he had returned his original con-
tract unsigned last week and that an
other received yesterday also was I'M
satisfactory.
Neither one of the contracts con-
tanned the amount of money I think
am WORTH" said Wilson. II gave every
thing had to the Cardinals last sea-
son, and think they should give me
something in return. Besides, catchers
are scarce these days"
ST. LOUIS, January 26 CP).-General
Manager Branch Hickey of the Cardi-
mails today said negotiations were on
with Jimmy Wilson, Cardinal catcher
who has refused to sign his 1929 con-
tract, but that it was too early for him
to consider any Of his players as hold
outs.
1--WE are going to open the season on
time with three first-class catchers
whether Mr. Wilson is one of them or
not" Hickey said. This club is not
dependent on any one catcher for its
success"
