L,.C.H.S.WinS
County Meet

Lincoln County High school tracks
tiers added another county title to the
long list won by this school. Never
in the history of the school Ito the
knowledge of the writer) has Lincoln
ever lost this annual event between
Libby, Troy and Eureka. Some years
we have won by large margins, but
other years such as this one, we have
won by the skin of our teeth.
Amid rain and. sgusts Of wind, the
representatives of L. c. II. 5. last
Saturday afternoon defeated Libby
for the county championship by a
score of s2i2 to SO points. This score
is better than it sounds for Libby
entered a field of IA men while Troy
and Eureka each entered z men.
Five records were shattered, Muir
ply, holder of the iavelin record from
last year, and Hubbard, both of Troy,
tied for first place in the javelin
throw with a distance of LAG feet.
The previous record was I'D feet II
inches established last year. Hubbard
broke Larsons record of 10 feet 3
inches in the pole vault with leap
of 10 feet inches. Murphy broke
Davidson's record in the shot put
with a heave well over 80 feet. Peter
son of Libby broke Ramlow's record
of 20 seconds in the high, hurdles.
His time was a fractss7f or second
under 20 seconds Steiner was high
point man with Is points. Murphy
was second with 10 points. Steiner,
who won the 100 I'd. dash, equaled
his old record of II secs.
The meet was so arranged that
several of our men were kept in ac-
ton continually. Many had to drop
out of events because of their being
in4 another event at the same time.
The officials would give the men no
chance to rest between events. Had
the meet been scheduled so as to give
each man fair chance, the score
would have been decidedly different.
Steiner, who has been doing we'll over
10 feet in the pole vault, had to drop
out Of this event in order to run
the, so yd dash. Time and time again
this happened with the result that
many points went to other schools.
Lincoln won 7 first places, | second
place, thirds, and tied for third
twice. Libby won first places, 7
seconds, 7 thirds, and tied for first
once, and tied for third once. Troy
won first places, seconds, tied for
first once and for third once. Total

SENIOR BANQUET PRETTY
AFFAIR.

The annual Senior banquet given
by the mothers of the graduating
class for the seniors, faculty, and
fathers was held in the high school
gym Sunday afternoon.
1t was very pretty affair as the
tables were not only decorated for the
occasion but the gym was still dec
Grated as it had been for the Junior
Prom.
About 60 people were seated for
the banquet and judging from all re-
ports it was by far the best and
most elaborate affair of its kind in
the history of the school.

Z HITCH HIKERS
 WHO ASSAULTED w OMEN, CAUGHT
Arrested as Army Desert CTS and Confess to
 Police at Denver

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 15.-Gordon w Frost, aged g years, of Eas S t Peperell, Mass, and Wayne c. AL brich, aged Is years, of Chicago, were arrested Tuesday night as army deserters. They confessed last night they had attacked two women near Hoxie, Kansas, last Sunday night and stolen their car, after leaving the two women tied in field. The car and three suit cases belonging to the women, who were returning from vacation trip, have been found by the Police.
 The victims of the attack were Mrs. Beatrice Walsh, aged 34 years, and Miss Leda Beauregard, aged 21. They are recovering in a hospital at Quinter, Kansas.
 The two women were found near Quinter in a pasture, bound, beaten and slashed by razors, practically nude, and apparently left to bleed to death.
 They were returning from their vacation trip when the two men asked for a lift. Without warning they were attacked, slashed, bound and thrown from their automobile, in which the men escaped.

soon as weather conditions will permit. Its work here is practi- cally completed. There remain two or three short runs to be made, but these can be covered by a single plane. One will be sent here from Ketchikan to do the work when weather is favorable.
 The remaining work in the en- tire field consists of mapping sec tions of the mainland between Tracy Arm and Port Houghton to Portland Canal The expedition will easily finish it by the end of the season if it gets the right kind of breaks on the weather. How ever. whether completed or not, it will sail from Ketchikan south on September Is, leaving the barge at Seattle and taking the Gannet and planes to San Diego where it will disband, and it's personnel return ing to the ships or stations from which it came.
 Stay Most Pleasant
 Speaking for the entire expedi- ton, Commander Radford said it's stay in Juneau had been most pleasant. Conditions had been splendid for operations and the use of the Government dock as a plane storage has eliminated losses in time, and made it possible to keep the planes in good condition and otherwise facilitated work.
 There is a great deal more map ping to be done in the Territory and he expressed the hope that the Navy Department might see its way clear to continue its work in this direction. It might be pos sible, he said, that conditions af- fecting the Navy itself might pre- vent it, but it was of sufficient i'm portance to justify all expenditures necessary.
 The work here has very definitely shown, he added, that developments of any section must be preceded by accurate mapping. He cited as a concrete illustration the recent discovery by the expedition of a lake near Taku Inlet which, off cials of the Forest Service be- lieve, will save hundreds of thous- ands of dollars in the establishment of local pulp and paper plant
 Is Business Proposition
 This discovery, he declared, will result in monetary saving which will more than pay for both of the Navy's mapping expeditions to Alaska. He estimated that the cost of each of these was not less than $l5O,00o.
 Such accomplishments put the mapping expeditions on real busi- ness plane, he pointed out. 1t made it possible to go before de- partment boards with reasonable argument to support requests TOT continuing the work in the future.
 Praises Expedition
 Acting President H. G. Walmsley complimented Commander Radford on the high quality of the person. nel of the expedition. He said it had been a pleasure for the town to have had it here and expressed the wish that all the members might return another year.

The Port Althorp cannery of the Alaska Pacific Salmon Cor poration finished it's season wiel l52,0O0 cases, tails and flats, ac- cording to August Buschman, for mer owner, who visited here today while the steamer Alaska was in port. The pack reduced to full cases was 127 000 which was regard ed as highly satisfactory for what is termed an off-year.
 There are salmon everywhere in the Icy Strait area, MT. Buschmann said. The escapcment has been excellent and all of the plants were far ahead of the 1927 pack. MT. Buschmann is enroute to Ketchikan on business and will return here early next week.

LOCAL AIRPORT IS GREAT NEED,
 SAYS RADFORD
Commander of Aerial Map pers Tells Chamber of
 Need for Facilities

(Continued from rage One)
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-08-15

Commander Radford said. Modern aircraft suitably equipped, can op- crate over any water that steam ships can and in almost any wealth CT. Of course, when ships are forced by fogs to tie up, planes also would have to lie to, but as long as the ships can run planes can fly. Fog. he said, affects the operation of both alike.
 Conditions affecting flying are not as adverse here as on some sections of the transcontinental mail routes. "If I had my choice I had rather fly between Seattle and Juneau than between Oakland and Salt Lake City, or between Cleveland and New York City" he asserted.
 Will Be Big Factor
 Aviation will come to be fac tor within the next few years that few of you can now scarcely visual ize," the Commander continued. He cited developments in the States. The Oakland, Calf. airport, he said, was a striking example of the benefits accruing to the com munity providing proper landing facilities. It had left San Fran cisco far behind and that city is now making strenuous efforts to overcome it's handicap but it will take years to do so. Whenever a town has provided landing facili- ties, it has been greatly benefited, he declared. This had been amply demonstrated in the States and he predicted it would be true in Alas ka, probably on a smaller scale.
 Air travel in this section of Alas ka will be by seaplane or in am phibian, for local needs only a landing field for such craft would be sufficient. But it will not be long before travel will be moving from the coast, as far away as Se- tile, to the interior and land planes will be required for inter for flights. Juneau is the logical center for such travel and would largely benefit from it.
 Site At Mendenhall
 A site capable of development into a first class airport for both kinds of aircraft was available at Mendenhall. On the flats there plenty of room can be found. Once facilities are provided the traffic will develop rapidly, he said. And if Juneau builds such an airport, has it ready for the travel when it comes in the near future, it cer- tainly will derive great benefits.
 The Commander predicted exten- sive use of planes between Juneau and the Taku River district. Much of this will have to be by land planes for which facilities ought to be provided.

Lindsey became nationally famous in 1909
when he wrote an exposure of political cor
ruption in his book entitled "The Beast in

borders of the state. From that time, Lind
sey became even more marked for the hatred
of the politicians OF both parties.
One of the ironies of the situation is that
the opinion disbarring Lindsey was written
by judge who himself faced Impeachment

Precedent Set in Power
Assumption by County
Commissioners.

Diverging from procedure of
many years standing county COM
missioners today prepared to take
from city election commissioners
the right to award yearly contracts
for purchasing election supplies
and were ready as board to ward
the 1880 contract.
The disclosure came when bids
were submitted today on next years
county printing work by seven COM
peting companies.
1t also was learned that Levey
Printing Company, submitting the
lowest bid on two classes of print
ing, had included in their bid.
figures on the election supplies,
at a much higher price than that
submitted by another competitor.
The Levey conpany's bid on the
election supplies per item, totaled
$3.50, while bid submitted by the
Burford Printing Company was
$1.62 lower. The Burford company,
however, was high bidder on
other material.
Price of the Levey company on
poll books, talley sheets, return
sheets and canvasser's sheets proved
more costly in each instance than
the price submitted by the Burford
company.
The Sentinel Printing Company
submitted the lowest bid on ma
terials coming under the third and
fourth class. Contracts will be
awarded by commissioners Friday.
At the same time a movement was
launched by County Clerk George
o. Hutsell to test the legality of
the commissioners action.
Albert M. Glossbrenner, defeated
G. o. P. mayoralty candidate in the
fall municipal election and presi-
dent of the Levey Company, was on
hand as his bid was submitted, and
was greeted with enthusiasm by
county commissioners shortly before
his bid was accepted. Glossbren-
ner has held the county printing
contract for several years.
