Pointers on Golf
BY SOL METZGER:

Barnes keeps the right hand out

it is applied at this part Of the
swing, the pivot causes a turning

WASHINGTON, Mar, IA, R- Delegate Wickersham, from Alas ka, challenged the authority of Secretary of Interior Wilbur to sponsor the plan proposed by the Alaska Livestock Company, to divide Alaska into five rein- deer grazing areas.
 Wickersham appeared before the Wilbur committee and said authorization for such an agree ment with a private company should come from Congress.
 Wilbur said the problem should be settled and so be placed un- der the Alaska commission and urged clarification of range rules
 Wickersham said the plan might create a monopoly favorable to one company.
 Alaska Commissioner ChaS. H. F1ory urged immediate action and said the committee had suf- ficient facts now and that there was no need to continue the the hearing.

GREAT INTEREST |S SHOWN IN PLAN FUR
 ORIENTAL TRADE
SEWARD BUSINESS MAN GOES TO THE ORIENT DURING
 COMING SUMMER

Announcement of the Kawabe Investment Company's plan to develop a trade between Alaska and the Orient has brought many inquiries from different parts of Alaska to Harry Kawabe, the president and manager of the company, he stated today.
 These inquiries indicate to MT. Kawabe that considerable inter est throughout the Territory is being taken in the project, and he is greatly encouraged with the results to date. Every mail, he says, brings him letters sug- gesting products which the writ CTS will undertake to supply.
 Tt is chiefly a matter of get ting tonnage" Mir. Kawabe said. There are numerous products which we can export from Alaska which will find already market in the Orient. but we must be able to supply them in sufficiens quantities to justify regular boat schedule between Seward and the Oriental countries"
 He is enthusiastic over the great possibilities of the propos- ed plan, but states that no inn mediate results can be expected because a great deal of prelimin- ary work must first be done, such as listing all possible pro- ducts, finding out what Quan- titles can be obtained in Alaska and what amounts can be sold in the Orient and what prices they will bring there. These mat ters, and other details, must first be worked out carefully.
 It will probably be many months, perhaps several years, he said, before Seward will ac- tually be one terminal of an Alaska Orient steamship line op- erating on a regular schedule, but that his work so far has shown him that such a trade route is practical and will give Alaska an outlet for many pro- ducts that cannot be profitably shipped to continental United States for sale.
 MT. Kawabe stated he has def- initely arranged for several items that can be shipped in quantities, and that if he can complete oth- CT plans he has made he will go to the Orient this summer and arrange for 8 boat to call at Seward and make a trial trip, probably to Japan, to dem onstrate the practibility of an Alaska Oriental trade.
