 Grassy" Lowe, star baseball play CT on the Elks City League Club during the late lamented season, and Billy Nikitch, have been picked for curtain raisers. Lowe has never shown his wares here, but he is said to be as fast in the ring as he is on the base paths. If so, Billy is going to need every ounce of his experience to weather the gale.
 Bill Bradshaw and Julius Ja- cobs, couple of big boys weighing about 165 pounds, were picked for the second preliminary. Both are newcomers to the local game and are anxious to show their wares to Juneau fight fans.
 The rest of the card, previously announced, brings Joe Collier and Soldier Olson together for the second time, Olson having credit for a kayo over the local battler. Jimmy Moore, favorite here, takes on Sol- dier Northcutt, Chilkoot Barracks boxer, in the semi-final, and Sam my Nelson clashes again with Ben ny White in the special event.

Klein'S Reasons
Secretary of Commerce Julius

To the renewal Of civil warfare

To the lower prices existing in
world markets, and to the low
price Of silver.
The Secretary said the price
Of silver was an important item,
since the Chinese government was
established upon a silver basis
and paid for imported goods with
silver, valued at gold standards.

Senator Pittman CD Of Nevada,
will hold hearings at San Fran
