The Juneau lad clearly outclassed the Canadian and the crowd was we'll pleased to see the referee stop the encounter. Gurvich was game to the end and is cley- CT boxer, but the latter qualifica- tion was discounted from the sec ond round on by the crushing blows of Murphy.

A STITCH IN TIME. SAYS HE

To The Editor:
 I would like to call the attention of the people of Alaska, and espec- ially the trappers, to the scarcity of oun wild fur. I have not been around the Wrangell district very long, but from what I have observ- ed along the beaches there is no great amount of fur of any descrip- titon.
 I have put in a few years on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island and I know that fur is very scarce there.
 Would it not be a good idea to cease trapping while the price of our coast fur, especially mink, is so low and so scarce, until the price is better and the fur more abund- ant?
 ALBERT LAUTH.
 Editors Note: Here's something for the game commission to think about. Why not a little conserva- tion while there is something to conserve and before conservation methods need be ultra-stMct?

Wednesday, and the three days fol- lowing it.
 Lent is so called from the time of the year wherein 1t is observed: Lent, in Saxon language signifying spring, being now used to signify spring fast, which always begins so that 1t will end al Easter to remind us of our Saviour's sufferings, which ended at his resurrection.
 ''To Keep True Lent" Is this Fast. to keep
 The Larder leane,
 And cleane, From fat of veales and sheep? No; 'tis Fast to dole
 Thy sheaf of wheat,
 And meat, Unto the hungry soule. Is it to quit the dish
 Of flesh, yet still
 To fill The platter high with fish? It is to fast from strife,
 From old debate
 And hate;
 To circumcise thy life. Is it to faste an houre,
 Or ragged to go,
 Or show A down-cast look and sowre? To show a heart grief-rent
 To starve thy sin,
 Not bin; And that's to keep thy Lent"

In this regard it was stat ed that on the first of January there was S5,000 outstanding in uncollected taxes. Of this amount Harvey Grin sell. the new city tax collector, has gathered in S3.300, which he has turned over to the city treasury. ]

Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, was so called from the ancient ceremony of blessing ashes on that day and "therewith the priest signeth the people on the forehead in the form of a cross, affording them withal this wholesome admonition: "Remem- Der, man, thou art dust and shall re- turn to dust" The ashes used this day are made of palms consecrated the Palm Sunday twelve months be- fore. Lent was counted to begin. on the first Sunday in Lent, and to end on Easter Eve; which time if you take out of them six Sundays ton which it was counted not unlaw- ful to fast), then there will remain only thirty-six days, and that the number of days which Christ lasted
