hoped that this matter will receive the attention of Congress this year and that arrangements will be made to provide government institution to care for the unfortunates who are committed from Alaska"
 Roads and Trails.
 The importance of roads ard trails in the development of the. Territory's resources is again emphasized. The Governor notes the work done hySthe Alaska Road Commission and the United States Bureau of Public Roads and declares that both perform scr- vices of unusual value to the Terri. tory.
 He added Ends appropriated ty the Territory fer roads and trails are allotted to the several projects by the Territorial Road Commission and ex- pended under cooperative agreement with the federal agencies. Because it is possible to use the federal organ izations in the construction of the projects, the Territory is not required to expend large amount of its funds for overhead and there is no duplica- tion of organization
 Decline of Mining.
 The mineral production of the Ter ritory since 1880 aggregates $585,- 1000, 62 per cent of which was from gold mines, said the Governor. Most of the yield came from placer mines. The output increased annually until 1916, and following that year it has declined. This situation was ac- counted for in part by the exhaustion of known high grade placer ground and the lower selling prices. of min eral products. Recent ! developments for working vast areas of low grade areas with modern machinery prom ises to bring about new era in gold mining, said the report, adding. There is every reason to believe that the production fof gold from these sources will increase the annual pro- duction very materially and it is likely that the low point has been reached in the mineral output in the Territory
 Last years mineral production was valued at $14,4O4,OOO, as compared with S17,664,8OO for the preceding yeae. Gold decreased from $6,7O7 ,OO0 in 1926 to S5,927, ,O0O in 1927, while the value of copper minedsdecreased!fco from S9,4S9,000 in 1928 to $7,25O,O0O in 1927. Gold from lode mines increased. More than 90 per cent of the latter yieldlcame from Southeastern Alaska, the largest operating property being the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Con- apany of Juneau.
 Coal production erceeded in quan- Ftity, that shipped into Alaska from outside sources, the total local output being 1O4,3OO out of the 166,O00 tons consumed.
 Progress of Aviation.
 The Governor pointed to notable progress in aviation in Alaska during the year. Under Territorial laws not to exceed 30 per cent of the Terri torial road funds may be expended for the construction of landing fields, and under this authorization 58 such fields have been constructed.
 ''These facilities" added the Gov ernor, "makes it possible to give air plane transportation to most of the important places in the interior of Alaska. Many localities heretofore inaccessible are now within easy reach of larger centers. Prospectors and their outfits are transported tos out lying districts without difficulty and in very short time. In one instance 15 prospectors were taken to q new district by one of the local airplanes."'

auguration the river division making a profit on it's operations. The an- nual deficit of the rail division was materially reduced from former ff- ures.
 Other Subjects Covered.
 The report covers many other sub jects, including the work of the Alas ? ka Game Commission, the Federal Bureau of Education, the Territorial school system, the care of aged and indigent by the Territory, and other activities of both the Federal and Territorial governments. contains valuable statistics on commerce, the operation of the Alaska Road Com mission, the Bureau of Public Roads, Alaska fisheries, the U. s. Geological Survey, U. s. Bureau of Mines, pub- lie lands, the Alaska caple system, naval communications service, forest servIce, U. $. Coast and Geodetic Sur vey, rivers and harbors, aids to navi- gation, mail service, the Alaska Agri- cultural College and School of Mines, data on agriculture in Alaska a, re- view of health conditions and labor. conditions, weather summary, and several other subjects.
 The recommendations made by. Governor Parks were:
 l. A survey by the International Halibut Commission, or the Bureau of Fisheries, to determine the extent and location of. unexplored halibut fishing grounds in the Boring Sea, along the Alaska Peninsula and in the vicinity of the Aleutian islands. This is necessary because of the depletion of the known sources of supply i'll Southeastern Alaska and British Co., lumbia, and the probability that some of these areas may be closed in the near future.
 2. An investigation by the Bureau of Fisheries to ascertain the condi- tion of the herring fisheries. This should be completed as soon as possi- ble so that, if necessary, further ac tions may be taken to prevent the de- pletion of the supply of these fish. The controversies which arise each year between the proponents of vari ous theories concerning the herring, it's use, and the danger of it's exter- imitation, cannot be definitely settled until accurate data is available 5. Investigation hy the Territorial agencies discloses that predatory an- imals, chiefly coyotes and wolves, are destroying wild .kame and migratory birds and have become real menace. Immediate action is necessary, and the Territory cannot undertake the eral government should contribute funds to supplement Territorial ap- propriations and to be expended by the Territory in an effort to cxtermi- nate the predatory animals. 4. The contract system for the care of the insane from Alaska should be abolished and they should be cared for in a government institu- ton.
 5. The appropriations for the Bu- reau of Education are not sufficient to enable that organization to provide necessary facilities, educational, voca- tional and medical, for all of the na- tives. An industrial school in South eastern Alaska is necessary, and in- creased appropriations should be made for new schools in many other sections.
 6. In many sections of the Terri tory the transportation facilities are far ahead of the system of communi- cation. The. United States Signal Corps should be given additional funds so that they can establish sta tions at strategic points.

Is
8-5 Favorite
Over Cuban
Tony Regarded as Too
Good for 1.-the Armando
Santiago.
BY BERT DEMBY
-niteh Press sfan Cnrresnnndent


CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Armando
Santiago, the 1.-the Cuban feather
weight, who stepped into flstic
prominence few weeks ago by
knocking out joey Sanger, gets a
real chance as a champion con-
tender Friday night when he meets
Tony Canzoneri, former title-holder.
Santiago's victory over Sanger
came as a distinct surprise. The
Cuban had spent five years fight
ing as a second-rater. According
to rumors here, joey Sanger has
agreed to meet the winner of Fri
dav nights fight. Canzoneri has
been made an 8-5 favorite over the
Cuban.
Tony is favored because OF his
Ieft-hand jab and his ability at pro-
tecting himself in the clinches. Can
zoneri's ability to protect himself
discounts considerably the sluggish
advantages of the Cuban, who adj
nittedIy is murder with his right
hand if he can land.
AT any rate, Santiago Will De
fighting to defend reputation he
obtained by knocking out Sanger,
and it would seem that Canzonerl
is too good fighter to let the Gu
ban rest on laurels obtained against
the MiIwaukeean.

Chicago Cubs Hopes Hinge
on Hornsby; Throwing
Arms Puzzle Yanks.
S0UTHW0RTH HAS TASK
Johnson and Harris Have
Followers Guessing.

| BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Can Joe
Mccarthy handle Rogers Hornsby?
That is only one of the perplexing
problems baseball fans are discuss
ing preparatory to the sixteen ma
jor league teams starting south and
west to begin spring training.
If Hornsby and Mccarthy hit 1t
off together, the Chicago Cubs will
be the club to beat in the National
League pennant scramble. There
are many fans who believe Hornsby
will get into the same difficulties
at Chicago that he did at st. Louis,
New York and Boston, and that he
will wreck the Cubs hopes.
Has Handled Others
There is much to be said on both
sides, but one of the most convinc-
ing proofs of McCarthy's ability to
handle temperamental ball players
is the success he has encountered in
getting results from Hack Wilson
and XIX Cuyler.
Another National League manager
who will have his hands full the
coming season is Billy Southworth,
who will attempt to salvage the ball
club wrecked by the New York Yam
KEGS in the 1928 world series and
convert it into another pennant VIM
ner.
Having decided the Cardinals
needed hard-boiled manager to
curb the disregard of the teams
stars for training rules, Branch
Hickey and Samuel Breadon pro-
ceeded to hire one Of the easiest
going players in baseball for the job.
Braves in Pickle
Judge Emil Fuchs troubles
haven't started yet. His fight over
Sunday baseball will be nothing
compared to the job he has wished
upon himself in managing the Bos-
ton Braves, with the assistance OF
Johnny Evers. Burt Shotton's Phila-
delphia Phillies, it appears, have a
real chance to climb out of the
cellar at the expense of the Braves.
In the American League Miller
Higgins path is not strewn with
roses. The mite manager is gamb-
ling on three repaired arms and a
high-priced shortstop to hold the
Yankees powerful machine to-
gether another season.
Three Doubtful arms
If the arms of Tony Lazzeri, Herb
Pennock and Wiley Moore are well
and Lyn Larry, the Oakland star
shortStop, lives up to his reputation,
Higgins worries will be minimized.
Mark Koenig will be shifted from
shortstop to third base, position
which was never capably filled last
season.
Two other American league man.
ager who will have big burdens on
their shoulders are Walter Johnson,

THE LIFE OF TEX RICHARD
Vows Never to Hold Another Mixed Heavyweight
Bout; Signs Willard and Moran, His First
New York Promotion Venture.
CHAPTER VII

Jeffries fight Richard took another
one of his long shots. He signed
a contract with syndicate of
Michigan capitalists to go to South
America as the general manager of
the Paraguay Land and Cattle
Company. 1t ended with Richard in
the possession of a lot of land end
no cash.
The company controlled 100000
acres in the Chaco county without
100000 head of cattle on it. The
scheme was to erect giant meat
treating and chilling plant in the
desert company and ship meat to
markets all over the world.
Richard acquired title to $4,000
acres OF his own in this egion and
retained it until his death. He held
on to it in the belief that some day
it would be worth a fortune. The
land is located in the territory about
which the recent Bolivia Paraguay
controversy centered.
Be-Enters Boxing
He returned to the United States
in 1916. promoted his third fight
and entered the boxing game for
good. Jess Willard, the Kansas cow
boy, had wrested the heavyweight
championship from Jack Johnson
at Havana in 1915 and New York
was clamoring for a chance to see
the white champion IN action.
AS in the case of his first two
bouts, Rickard again had to obtain
financial backing to go through
with a bout. The story was told
that he went into bankers Office
and put up such good front that
the bnaker advanced him $4,000
on his word. Samuel McCracken
also aided Richard financially.
Frank Moran was selected as the
challenger and Rickard signed him
for a guarantee of $4,000 Will
lard signed for guarantee of
SO. 900.
