JUNEAU AND KAY HI TO MEET
 FOR CHAMPIONSHIP

The Juneau High School has accepted the offer of Principal Karnes to have teams from the two schools play series of five games in Ketchikan.
 Ketchikan claims the right to meet Juneau for the champion ship having defeated Wrangell and Petersburg using an inelig- ible man. Fans of the game as sert that unless Kay Hi and Pe- Uersburg play over three games, neither Kay Hi nor Petersburg will have any right to play in a championship series under the conference rules. According to fans the championship should lie between Douglas and Ju- neau. But inasmuch as Jul neau ara Nouglas have not play ed any games with the Southern teams, it cannot be understood how c::-her school can claim the Dlvi3io. al championship. Were the series interSectional rather than Divisional, it would be diff ferent.

Chase Says Fur
 Game Plentiful

Answering petitions concern ing the opening of the beaver season in the Railroad area, Dr. w. H. Chase, chairman of the Alaska Game Commission, in an official statement recently said:
 Tn answer to the complaints of trappers that the catch is not normal, would advise that the number of trappers is increasing each year, with many overlap pings on established traplines the individual catches small, but it is believed that when the seasons catch is checked it will be found that as many fur bearers have been talk en as in the last fiscal year.
 It would be impossible for the commission to change the regu- lations without giving ninety days notice, unless given such power through a special act of Congress.
 Every effort is being made by the commission to protect tho resident trapper.

Facts for the Faithful

These are facts for the reader Of an inquiring mind
furnished by the chief of a public service information
bureau. Lavaca is probably the largest shrimp market
IN the world. Last year it shipped out 100000
pounds or enough to make 25.OCO. 900 shrimp cocktails.
Political shrimps are not included in this count.
Texas has enough bituminous coal underlying its
territory to supply 10000, 900 tons a year for 800 years.
according to the Texas university bureau of economic
geology. This is exclusive of the estimated 20 billion
Of Ignite under the Texas soil. Dallas with 265 tele-
phones per 1000 population leads Texas in telephone
density. San Francisco, Calf, with 336 connections
per 1000 population leads all the cities of the world.
Galveston with 2l per 1000 stands second among
Texas cities.
Houston, largest in population, ranks third. Why
this tagging behind the procession on the part Of the
jewellers on the banks Of the bayou ship channel?
Speaking of a garden spot Of the world, the Lower
Rio Grande Valley smashed all records with 26.343
carloads Of fruit and vegetables shipped during the
present season and the total value Of the crops is
now raised from the estimated SIS, 0900 600 to 2 ,000,-
600 and possibly $24, 100000.
Money makes the world go round and Texas or
chardists, farmers and vegetable growers are making
dividends and increasing the volume of the circulat-
ing medium. That is they are putting new money
IN the channels of Texas trade. Practical politici-
ans who devote most Of their time TO the game are
reminded that the producers are wealth makers and
empire builders. Returns Of the primary election
disclose there is a vast army of voters in West Texas.
another vast ermy In the Magic Valley and that five
Texas cities have a combined potential voting
strength that must be staggering to the minds OF
'the oldest inhabitants"
There is a new Texas and in the near future this
new Texas will furnish new political leaders. new
programs and perhaps give to the COM
monwealth a new constitution which will relieve the
taxpayers Of antiquated statutes and systems and
court procedure.

He helped himself. and gradually

Mexico Refunds Its Foreign Debt

Ambassador Dwight Morrow is a Napoleon among
financiers as a "fixer" Of things. An agreement for
the refunding Of Mexicos foreign debt both govern
ment and railway. was signed at the office of John
Pierpont Morgan and company. Wall Street. This
agreement is subject to approval of Mexican congress
and the bond holders. II is said the plan calls for the
~refunding Of the present total debts Of about s5l3.-
100000 in s492lO0o.Go0 in obligations bearing per
cent interest. In addition the Mexican railways, now
insolvent, would be reorganized.
Who are the bond holders? Ask the head Of the
house Of Morgan. II he is in Europe ask Thomas A.
Lamont. If Lamont is under foreign skies ask Am
bassador Morrow. He moved from the house of Nor
gan to Mexico City. Later he will move from Mexico
City to Washington to hold down a seat in the Ameri-
can senate. If he lives he may be president OF the
United States some day.

question now confronting the local
chamber OF commerce.
Brownsville. the largest city in the
Valley. and center Of one Of the
largest agricultural districts. does
not have a Texas Citrus Fruit ex-
change packing shed, but she can
have one If growers will say the
word.
approximately $lO0.O 900 Is to be
spent on the plant. II it Is erected.
Secretary Richardson said Tuesday.
II is true that other sections or the
Valley raise more citrus than the
Brownsville section, but just the
same there are possibilities OF a great
increase in citrus in this neck Of
the Valley. Take this into consider
alton - in the northern end Of the
Valley. towns are very close to-
gether, some Of them not more than
q mile apart. In this part, Browns
vile and San Benito are 10 miles
apart.
We need a packing shed.
Another Death
A very tragic and h~eartrending
accident occurred In Harrington
Tuesday. in which a small l2-year
old boy. Alex Powell. was killed. his
skull being crushed under an over
turned car. a bag Of candy still
clutched in his hand.
This Is one accident. however. we
can't blame on that villain - High
way No. II.
II Is always sad. especially sad
when a life so young is snuffed out.
To us Ii Is, anyway.
We Would Call This a Position
A man from Mission advertised
in the classified columns for a posi-
ton. On the same day a Browns
vile girl advertised for a roommate.
Both received answers. and IN for
wardirg them there was a mixup.
The Mission man wrote:
Last week I ran an ad in your
paper in which / advertised for a
position. and today / received an
answer forwarded by you from q
girl wanting TO share an apartment.
Now listen. I do not need a girl to
share an apartment with me. Not
on your life"

implored Judy TO see him once

When he came. he was shown
into her sitting room. presently
judy hobbled into the room on ner
two sticks, a regular little snaoow,
dressed in black, and with a quiet
glow in her eyes that the man had
never seen before.
Good gracious. what a wreck you

lance and looked at her with sore,
red eyes. a great wreck OF a man.
Tea was brought in. and Gideon
made a pretense Of taking some.
Judy chartered away. and all the
time the man never took his eyes
from her face.
Presently she found nothing

had crept an ominous atmosphere

Gideon rose and came toward
her.

raging through the room. He was
shaking from head TO foot. Madness
had entered into him. He couldn't
have her, Ind he wanted TO kill her.
She was in s@.ual physical dam
ger. He put out his hands. The
veins on his forehead big TO
bursting. He was like some prime
val creature baked Of his desire.
He could not have her, so he thirst
ed for blood.
Judy was not afraid. II was not
like that other time. She was not
afraid Of death. OF course. she knew
that he could kill her with those
great hands. She was very small
and weak. and he could easily choke
the life out Of her; but she was not
afraid.

said. Hit a man OF your own size.
