Country Club event earlier in the year.

He FaVors Track.
The former dean of athletics at Brook
lyn Prep is an ardent booster OF sports.
Though he has played base ball himself,
most of his time has been given to
coaching. Back in 1915 and 1915 he
served as assistant coach under Father
Gaynor, formerly of Georgetown Uni
versity, at Brooklyn Prep. The following
two years he was head coach, his dia-
mond team winning the scholastic title
of Brooklyn in 1918.
While he coached his championship
machine in 1918, he developed two out.
standing players, Herman He'll, who
was with the Brooklyn Robins for q
while, and Andrew ESchmann, who was
given . trial by the Washington SEN

Father Browns enthusiasm for track
and field events can be readily under

important part in the indoor races held
at Brooklyn.
So don't be surprised II you happen
to see a score or so of boys, clad in run

in the Gonzaga Stadium in the near

- has found q new way TO play

recommends Haig's manner Of
playing the stymie shot as one Of the
most effective means of getting . half

On the tenth hole in tournament
match at Bannockburn yesterday
Moore, after struggling along the fair
way, finally played his second shot 70
the putting green, and the ball rolled
and rolled until it lay on the lip OF the
cup. Haig played his fifth shot to within
feet of the cup and when they came
up to putt the balls they, found that
Moore's ball had laid Haig q dead

DRY TRIALS AND STILLS
 INCREASED IN YEAR 1929

WASHINGTON Prohibition en- forcement, during its last fiscal year of operation under the Treasury de- partment, resulted in 68,lS6 arrests and the seizure of 24,373 stills.
 These figures show an increase of more than 2,000 arrests and the seiz- ure of more than 7,0O0 stills as com pared with the previous year.
 In the seizures, about 1,32O,O00 gal Ions of spirits were taken, together with 8,00O,00O gallons of malt liquor. Other property seized included 7,788 automobiles.
 These figures, it is said, do not in- clude small seizures wherein persons were apprehended for petty viola tions. They are confined chiefly to larger operators.

Editor Kusko Times:
 In your report of the awful trag- edy connected with the death of my nephew, Carl E. Bergstrom, there were two terrible mistakes, which 1 wish you would be so kind as to cor rect. z
 Your report says he was on most unfriendly terms with me (his aunt), Please correct that, for 1t looks like we had quarreled, and it goes hard against me. I never had any harsh words with him, although he might have been little more friendly toward me. He had sort of way to keep one a certain distance, and l feel like I never was able to get ac- quainted with him. I had never seen the boy before he came here this spring
 And he had not been in town sev- eral days, drunk. He was there Tuesday and Wednesday, and l saw him off and on Wednesday afternoon and evening till it began to get dark, and he was strictly sober and as bright as silver dollar. After that I don't know what happened. One hour later he came home, raving, in- sane. Respectfully,

 In the issue of Tie Kusko Times of August 30 you give me credit for saying that Del Thompson struck Roy Bergstrom several times with a bottle. This is lar from correct What I heard and did say was that he struck him only once on the mead with b attleo, it being my under standing that the obttle was then broken.

that point the road was in good shape. Traffic was impossible be- tween Fairbanks and the College. The first bridge out of town is affoat and there is much water along the road.
 The first 26 miles out from Fair banks on the Richardson highway are the worst. There is considerable water in spots, but the road is ne- gotiabe by automobiles. Over the weekend it is said there were four feet of water on the flats at Munson. The water is dropping rapidly there and in the Panama river.
 Damage to St. Joseph Hospital and to the Catholic Church is estimated at $4,000. Supplies and medicines in the basement of the hospital were ruined, and the heating system was put out of commission. A hook-up was made with the Alaska Railroad power plant and steam was supplied from there.
 A report from Nenana over the weekend said water in the Panama river had risen to a height of 13 feet 8 inches and had flooded the north and south ends of the city. Many
 people in the mort hend were forced to leave their homes. The water in the river was level with the dock.

FLOOD FORCED
 MANY TO LEAVE HOMES;
 DAMAGES ESTIMATED HIGH

tFairbanks News Miner, Sept. 2.)
 With the peak of the flood appar- ently past, Fairbanks today began to take stoc kof the damage done by what has apparently been the most devastating flood in the city's his tory.
 Estimates can only be made at this early date on the damages and they range all the way from $50,00O to $2OO,O0O. The latter figure is consid- cred by those who have made as care full check as possible as being en- tirely too high.
 While many families were forced to leave their homes when the water entered them, there were few who were not prepared for this eventual ity and who had not done everything possible to protect their household goods. But damages will be consid- erable even in the homes where most careful preparations were made.
 As with the damages, only esti- mates could be made of the number of families who evacuated their resi- dences, and they ran all the way from 100 to 200. The hotels were filled to overfowing, and in some heat and water were cut off.
 A large area of the city was food ed, the water flowing through many streets in swift streams. Even in sections where the water did not homes, many cellars were flooded and caved in.
 Because of the fact that wells have been contaminated by Cinema slough water, Dr. J. A. Sutherland. Terri torial health officer, advises that all drinking water be boiled-
 The peak of the flood was reached yesterday. The highest point regis tered on the gauge at the bridge was 121-2 feet. Water then in many streets was from several. inches to two or three feet deep
 {, On First avenue fro mthe bridge west to Cowles the slough had poured over the banks and was crossing the road, while all the district west of Cowles' was under water. A large part of the western end of the city was under water, as were many streets far back from the slough.
