To MEET
JIMMY LONDOS

BY virtue of his splendid VIC
tory over Chief White Feather
before a wildly cheering throng Of
5000 spectators at the Washing
ton Auditorium last night, Paul
Jones, the guy with the Swing
ing scissors" has been matched to
face Champion Jimmy LondoS in
the feature bout of the show next
Thursday night at the auditorium.
1t was those deadly scissors that
flattened the Indian after some
fifty minutes of grueling grap-
pling. On several occasions the
willy redskin wriggled loose OF sew
eral holds, but he couldn't keep
this up all night.
About 10 minutes from the end,
Jones jumped on the Indians
back, wrapped his spindly legs
about Mr.. White Feather and,
when Referee Bortnick tapped
Jones on his back the Indian
lay helpless on the floor. Mr..
Jones' scissors had almost para
lyzed the Indian.
MatrOs KirilenkO, the big !
muscIed Russian. atOned for q
previous defeat when he threw
Mile SteinbOrn. the bruising
German. This was a contest
wherein brute strength was
supreme and the Russian
proved himself StOckier than
the TeutOn.
Billy BartuSh must stage a
comeback if he wants to regain
his local prestige. George Hagen,
much smaller, held the Lithu-
anian to a draw in a rip-Snorting
duel that was easily the best Of
the evening. In fact. Hagen had
much the better of it and
slammed Dear Billy" about the
ring.
Rudy Duse, the Nebraska
wildcat" was panned by the
crowd because the way he mis-
treated the meek Ghafoor Khan,
Afghan wrestler. True, Dusek
won in something like 18 minutes,
but he certainly did abuse the
foreigner who made no effort to
strike back. Probably, the
Ghafoor DIDN'T want to have his
mouStache Soiled.
Floyd Marshall, the visitor from
the Pacific Coast, flopped George
Hill, of Iowa, after 16 minutes in
an exceedingly rough bout. Hill
was somewhat careless with his
fists and Smacked Marshall with
out reason. AL BakhSh, the local
heavyweight, made a good impress
sion when he tossed Jack Olsen
in II minutes with a body slam.

BY TOM THORP

MIAMI, Feb. 27.-Lightning

Whitney will not start in the
Cuban Derby on March 7. If he
makes a creditable showing he
will be shipped to Jefferson Park
to compete in the Louisiana n a

Fear that the trip to Havana
might eat too deep into his stam-
ina brought about the decision
to keep the candidate for three
year-old title honors in the United
States. He will receive work.
out today over the local racing
strip.
Lightning Bolt Is the best
three.year-OId shown at the
local meeting.
The son of Wrack lost one out
Of four decisions through the
very bad riding of his jockey.
With anything like careful han
ding, Mrs. John Hay Whitney's
star would have an unbroken
string of triumphs to his score.
His defeat at the hands of
Finalist, an imported 3-year-old
son of Tournament 2d-Sweet
Glass, must not be held against
him. The Howard Stable star
had a pull of II pounds against
him. Also he got out in front to
escape all interference. Those who
saw the race are strong in their
opinion the next time the pair
hook up Lightning Bolt will re-
verse the order of finish.
Trainer Haughton is not going
to start lightning Bolt before the
Florida Derby. This decision was
arrived at after long conference
with Mrs. Whitney.
The latter does not wish to
take any chances in having her
S-year old candidate for turf
hOnOrs injured before starting
in the Florida Derby.
The popular Sportswoman is
very much interested in her colt.
She picked him out herself from
an assortment of some high-class
candidates.
His every outward indication
of speed and stamina made her
select him to sport her colors.
Those who know her state
there is no better judge of
thoroughbred than the wife of
the popular young sportsman.
Because of this many are going
to be roofing hard for her colt

The contractor for the clear ing, grubbing, etc, of the site of the Native Industrial School at Shoemaker Bay, near Wrangell, was obligated to complete the work on April 30th last. But oW- ing to bad weather and other causes he did not get the work finished until June 30. As a re- suit the contract stipulation that a penalty of $25 per day be exacted caused the last payment of $3,100 to be withheld by the Government until the penalty of $1,500 was disposet of. The good offices of the Delegate were in voked but the Comptroller Gen eral finally decided that only $400 would be remitted because of a delay in executing the con- tract. A check for the balance due of $1,916 was this week sent the contractor.

NATIONAL
 COMMITTEE MEETS SOON

There are persistent rumors that when the Republican Ma +ional Committee meets in Wash ington on December IA and 15, that Senator Simon D. Fess will retire as Chairman of the Com mittee. He is not expected un- der any circumstances to remain as Chairman longer than next June, after the Republican Ma tional convention. Among those who are being urged as Chair man Fess' successor is Charles D. Hi!les, member of the com r.ittee from New York. Altho not a candidate for the position, many of the bright politicians of the party believe that MT. Hiiles should be drafted for more ac = tive service. Delegate Wicker sham is among the number who have strongly urged the se.ec ! tion of MT. Hilles, and he has written President Hoover IS head of the Party, stating that the Republicans of Alaska would be particularly well pleased by the selection of MT. Hilles, who has many admirers in the North and 1hder whose leadership party loyalty and activity would [: greatly strengthened.

ANSWERING QUERIES

Inqueries through newspapers 0f Washington nearly always get accurate replies to their queries One writer wanted to know how many dentists there are in Alas ka. and in the United States proper. He was informed that there are Is in Alaska and 54,72l in the United States. Another wished to know how many peo- pie live in Valdez. His answer was: About 500. Valdez is the most northerly port in Alaska which is open during the winter It is also on the great interior stage route" Still another in quirer wanted to know how thl mail is sent to Alaska. And he was given the following infor- nation: "All mails for Alaska are dispatched from Seattle Washington. During the season of navigation all classes of mai are forwarded. During the win ter season (from about October 1 to May D, on account of thu difficulty of transportation t remote sections, the dispatch O mail for Alaska, except for of fees on the Southern Coast an< those located along the railroad and adjacent thereto, is limited Valuable parcels can be taken b, express to Nome and other point at all times of the year via air plane from Fairbanks, Anchor

When E. w. Griffin, of Kodiak was in Washington, earlier in the month he expressed a strong hope that a geological survey bt made of Kodiak Island, believ- ing that valuable minerals WouId be located. The Delegate has taken the matter up with the Director of the Geological Sur vey who gives assurance that it will be discussed, on his return to Washington in a few days, with Philip $. Smith, Chief Alas kan Geologist. It is desired to have work started early next season.

It is expected that with the return of business readjust- ment the different parties who investigated the projects at great cost will be ready to com plete their arrangeemnts and start actual construction. As the forests in Alaska are ripe for
 cutting and considerable cost is involved in deterioration due to delay, the Forest Service off, cials feel that unnecessary post ponement would be detrimental.

EMPLOYING ALASKA LABOR

During the fishing season in Bristol Bay, the fishermen re- siding in that section are given employment and arrangements are made to bring enough other men from the Outside to supply the demand. AS a result men going from Afognak, Kodiak and other sections in the spring find lit difficult to get employment, although some years they do. Last year about 100 men from around Kodiak Island were put to work and the representative has written the Delegate asking that arrangements be made so that they an be assured of work in Bristol Bay next season. As the cannerymen who operate in that section meet at Seattle on November IA, to make their arrangements for next season. and which will be attended by Commissioner H. O'Malley, the Alaska fishermen have been ad- vised to get word to as many as possible and be able to give de-, finite assurance to the cannery- men that they will supply a cer- tain number of competent fish, ermen for next season.

TARIFF ON COPPER

Congressman L. w. Douglas, of Arizona, has been instrumental in securing @ hearing before the Federal Tariff Commission, on October 28th, with respect to 8 tariff on copper. He has asked Delegate Wickersham to attend the hearing in Washington and to render whatever assistance may be possible. As the Terri tory of Alaska is particularly in. terested in securing a reasonable price for copper metal, in order to stimulate it's production and give a larger number of miners employment in the North, the Delegate is anxious to do every thing possible to stabilize the copper industry. When the price Of the metal was up to 16 and Is cents per pound, the Kennecott Copper Corporation shipped out nearly $1,OOO,OOO worth of cop per per month over it's 196 miles of railroad to Cordova, for steam CT shipment to the Tocoma smelt CT. But with the price cut in half, the production has been curtailed and the monthly ship ment nets less than $200,000, with one of the auxiliary mines at Latouche closed down entire IV

NATURALIZATION FEES

Until the spring of 1929, the Clerks of the Court for the four Divisions of Alaska received one- half of the naturalization fees of $5. But a ruling of the Comp troller General on April 29, 1929, was to the effect that the Clerks were not entitled to retain for their own use any part of the naturalization fees, which they have not since received. Recent ly, at the suggestion of one ot the Clerks, the matter was re- ferred to the Department oi Justice, with the reply from As sistant Attorney General c. F Sisson that Under the law the decisions of the Comptrolle, General of the United States, ir matters of this character, arc binding upon all branches of the service" He also gives other reasons why Clerks are not ell titled to retain this fee.

PROTEST YUKON FISHERIES
 REGULATION

Another protest was received the past week by the Delegate against the proposed regulation that would permit the taking of 50,000 king salmon in each sea sen from waters outside the Yu- kon River Delta. As the Com missioner of Fisheries has prac- tically decided to try out the experiment as proposed, the let, ter received from Alaska was re- ferred to MT. O'Malley for an swer, and among other things he wrote the protestant:
 "The objective in this matter is to give the comparatively few Eskimos who live in the Yukor iDelta section some opportunity to add to their present very meagre sources of income. They are practically destitute and un- doubtedly would be helped by the contemplated commercial fishing activity. There has been some opposition to the pro- posed regulation but it seems to be based upon the misconcep- ton that salmon canneries vii
 be established by outside inter
 ests in the Yukon River region The only activity contemplated would be salting or mildcurins !, Operations which would be con l ducted by local residents of the
 lower Yukon region.
 "The Eskimo and Indian resi dents of the Yukon region dI mot favor king salmon as foot for themselves or their dogs
 They prefer the other species Q:
 salmon for this purpose. As
 matter of fact, these native
 make little effort to catch kins isalmon.
 Tt is of interest to note tha the demand for dried salmon fo
 dog feed during the winte months in various places alon. Ithe Yukon has declined sharpl, lin the last year or two becaus Icf the greatly increased use o |airplanes.
