 United States Naval Academy. ! They attended the farewell ball ! that was given to the Class of 1881 by the Class of 1892, and which , was enjoyed by over 10000 persons,

 attendance at the exercises and festivities. After graduation the
 resignation of Midshipman Gray was accepted because of a defect in
 one of his eyes, received while en- gagged in successful wrestling match last year, and which was so thrilling that photograph of the event still hangs in Bancroft Hall.

The Juneau Guides of Southeast Alaska writes letter opposing the suggestion of Ste wart Edward White that Chichagof Island, north of Sitka, be declared National Park and Game Reserve. It is Icontended that Chichagof is not only a splendid brown bear sec ton but is highly mineralized with producing m ines, has numerous canneries and sites, great lumber possibilities, and that the residents |of Southeast Alaska, sportsmen and businessmen, do not want to see it turned into a reservation, particularly as there is Glacier Bay National Monument about 20 miles from Chichagof Island

JOYOUS HALLOWEEN |s HELD BY RESIDENTS
 OF COOPER's LANDING

Seward arrivals bring word that gay Halloween Carnival was held at Cooper's Landing Saturday eve ming The carnival was held in the Cooper's Landing school build ing.
 About 30 people including resi- dents of Cooper's Landing and others living in the Kenai Lake region were present, coming to Cooper's Landing over the trail, over the Cooper's Landing high way and by motorboat on the Lake, and a regular good old time dance was held.
 Oldtime dances, such as the square dance, polka, tremblante or Schottische, the quadrille or contre- danse, and the waltz, featured the dancing. Duncan Little, Copper's Landing resident and famous big game guide won first prize for his interpretation of the oldtime dances and the prize consisted of a beau tiful cake made by Mrs. H. A. An derson.
 To Miss Downing, the school teacher at Cooper's Landing, goes much credit for making the Hallo- ween affair the success it turned out to be. Miss Downing had the schoolroom decorated in Halloween colors which would even make the special ballroom decorators for me- tropolitan bathrooms sit up and take a few lessons.

THREE NATIONS VIE. .FOR RIcH STAKES IN THE
 EAsT's PROMISED LAND

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 2. (P)
 Mighty Manchuria, powder mill" of conflicting Chinese, Japanese and Russian interests, is the prom ised land" of the Far East.
 Ar empire in itself this huge dependency of China has millions of acres of soil as fertile as the black loam of Iowa rich mineral producing areas and great timber lands. The most efficient railway system in Manchuria is the Jap- anese-o operated South Manchuria line
 While adverse trade conditions now prevail due to the world busi- ness slump and the low value of silver, the Manchurian market is described as one of tremendous potentialities."
 A protracted war between China and Japan obviously would mean, trade experts here say, a serious setback for American and other foreign industrial enterprises there.
 Japan, of course, has the largest foreign business stake in Manchu- ria, one she holds as vital to her position as world power.
 It is one of the essential sources of her coal and iron and she also receives from there considerable food for the teeming millions in Japan and Korea. Other products of Manchurian fields, forests and mines pour into Japanese factories.
 In recent years more than mill lion Chinese are estimated to have annually fled the famine stricken regions of the south to seek food and breathing space on the plains where the sod hutS of homesteaders spring up along new railway lines.
 Dairen in the Japanese leased territory of southern Manchuria has risen from 30th to third among Chinese ports. In 1928 it handled more shipping tonnage than any American port except New York.
 Manchuria's share of the total net imports into China in 1929 was 18.8 per cent and of exports from China 32 per cent.
 American trade with Manchuria that year amounted to $23 ,229 ,OOO or about 6.4 per cent while Japan's share including Korea was approxi- mately 54 per cent and Russia,s 9.5 per cent.
 The chief imports from the Unit ed States are wheat flour, petrol cum products, railway locomotives, machinery, automotive vehicles, leaf tobacco and raw cotton.

TROOP MOVEMENTS IN NORTHERN MANCHUR|A
 ID BE INVESTIGATED

TOKYO, Nov. ?. (P - Japanese troops continued their occupation of Manchuria and pushed farther west and north into Manchuria while persistent reports that China had entered into a secret agree ment with Moscow for Russian as sistance was being considered by the Japanese cabinet.
 Reports indicated that the Jap anese are edging farther into the Chinese territory and closer to the Russian sphere of influence in Northern Manchuria but that they had not yet reached the territory in which Moscow is primarily in terested.
 The United States government reported that it was interested in the conflicting reports saying that the Russians were mobilizing troops along the Siberian and the Man churian border The United States government also made known their intention of sending George Han son, Consul General at Harbin, on the trana-Siberian r1ilroad, into Northern Manchuria to investigate troop movements.
