and it was nObody's game until the timekeeper's final signal ended the play Ness for the Highschool and Wasvick, Sha- quanee and Custer for the Mer- chants rolled up the big scores, which, by the way were a little too high to suit the critics, pos sibly indicating that both teams are stronger on offensive play than they are in guarding. This game was a significant one in many respects. The Merchants team is composed of older, more experienced players and the fact that the Highschool boys are able to pinch out a victory a. gainst such competition chal- lenges the attention of the whole division to the fact that Peters
 burg has real championship ma
 terial in this years team. There

The Thomas Basin harbor i'm provement in the Ketchikan Dis trict, plans and specifications of which have been completed, will be under way before very long. Calls for bids have been made by the War Department and bidder designated on the 18th of this month. James G. Truitt, of the Alaska Road Commissions En- gineering staff, will be the gov ernment representative on this project. MT.

He is remembered in Petersburg for his efficient work in the dredg- ing of Wrangcll Narrows.
 Construction of the Ketchikan project includes the building of a breakwater of the rubble mound type. $50 feet in length and the removal by dredging of a large quantity of silt and other material. Work is to be started immediately upon acceptance of the bid.

The Ketchikan Commercial Club and the Mayor of Ketchi- kan are announcing that the First City is not going to be a mecca for the jobless.

.Uncorfirmed rennrts received
 here this week, said T. L. Chi destel, formerly stationed here as Deputy Federal Prohibition administrator and more recent ly assigned to Ketchikan as Fed eral Prohibition Agent, is an as- pirant for the office of United States Marshal in this Division.
 This report could not be veri- fled here. Chidester, it is under stood, will leave Ketchikan for Seattle on the steamer Alameda where it is thought he will seek support for the marshalship- Juneau Empire.
 Al White present United Stat eS Marshal has not indicated that he is ready to step out of office and to leave the field to others It is assumed that he is building up his political fences whereby he may secure reap pointment to the office. Rumor hath it that two others are in the political arena with the idea of copping on to this job which comes by appointment through the President. But nothing tan gible can be secured when it comes to pinning would-be can didates down to a straight out and out question.

L. X. Fishback May Be

Bert Robinson.

Ousting of Bert Robinson as d.
rector of the free employment Serv-
ice of the state industrial board and
possible appointment Of Leland K.
Fishback, 1881 senate secretary, to
the position. was predicted at the
statehouse today.
Chairman Roscoe Kiper of the in
dustrial board and Commissioner
Walter Wills, who is in charge OF
the employment branch of the
boards business, refused to either
confirm or deny the report.
Kiper did point out that some
reorganization will be necessary
due to a $4,000 cut in appropria-
tons for the department.
This reduction was made by the
1881 legislature and is effective when
the new budget becomes operative
at the beginning of the new fiscal
year, Oct. 1.
Kiper pointed out that any
change of chief in the employment
service would be announced by Gov
ernor Harry G. Leslie, with whose
approval such appointments must
be made.
Allegation that the Governor
favors ousting of Robinson is based
on the charge that Robinson has
overplayed the union labor game in
the business of job distribution. 1t

MRS. COLLINGS
GIVES CLEW TO
PIRACY SLAYER
Testimony DiSCIoses One
AttaCker Was Father of
Three Children.

By United Press
HUNTINGTON, L. L. Sept. 21.-
One Of the two pirates" who, ac-
cording TO Mrs. Lillian Ceilings,
Tiled her husband and then kid
aped her from the motor boat
nquin, was married and had
lree children, it was revealed
3day.
Additional information regarding
2 crime was released with pub
ction' today of Mrs. Ceilings
stimony during the various ex-
linations to which she has been
a',jccted.
The testimony reveals how the
distracted woman pleaded with her
-;idnaper, asking him whether he
had ANY heart" and why he had
committed his brutal attack on Col
lings.
Sure, I have a heart" Mrs. Col
lings quoted the older pirate" as
saying. Il have a wife and three
children. I am man of family,
and don't make war on women
and children"
Continued pleas to turn back and
save Ceilings, whom she had last
seen struggling in the water, were
met with assurances that he would
be "all right" Mrs. Ceilings said.
Investigation today impelled the
authorities to swing toward theory
previously discarded-that the at
tack was made by maniacs-
paranoiacs, according to Mrs. Col
lings' attorneys-whose every action
bore out the supposition of insanity.

Washington Fashions
BY Wilma La ViHt

It took an awfully smart
frock to drag us from sky-gazing
at the Los Angeles to consider
fashions today. But .his. dress
did 1t. It's a product Of the
Victorian era, though the late
Queen would probably raise her
royal brows in surprise If she
could see it. For a woman with
as little "it" as she had in
wearing clothes, it is surprising
to find her widespread influence
in modern fashions. And such
fashions! We find little jackets,
plaids, prints and shallow
crowned hats in smart, glorified
editions of that period very "a
Ia mode"
For the Mature Figure
We've pictured dress for the
mature figure today. Tie type
that minimizes and slenderizes
the full figure into gracious, al
Turing lines. It's gray and, as
you know, gray is a nigh fash
ion color, in a delightful pat
tern. A pattern that is as
easy on the figure no longer
slim as a solid color would be.
Gray and white, cool and spring
like, as serene as the Los An
geles looked just now.
White Vest Becoming
The white vest makes 1T easy
to wear, too, for 1t breaks the
pattern and is generally becom-
ing. The bolero lin name only,
since it doesn't appear in the
back and peplum are two fea-
lures that make a woman look
young. The skirt is ripply, full
and especially graceful. AS a
fitting finish and a note Of con-
trast as we'll, the black and
white belt plays its part per
fectly. We recommend this
frock particularly to women
who want a dress that's indi-
vidual, feminine and rejuvenaG-
ing.

swer any questions about this
frOck or fashions. Call District

RETAIL VOLUME
HOLDS HIGH

The National City Bank, of New
York, in its March report notes
that wholesale and retail trade
continues to be featured by the
existence Of low stocks of goods
and a tendency to keep them low,
that retail trade figures naturally
show q loss from a year ago,
then comments:
"The surprising thing is that
the figures are so good, for in
most cases, II allowance Is made
in the published dollar totals
for the lower prices prevailing,
1t will appear that actual physi-
cal volume Of merchandise dis
tributed is holding up close to
and in some cases even above
q year ago.
''NOw, however, as in all SINH
lar periods, the prices have to
be right, and 1t is the mer-
chant who can make his prices
right who is getting the busi-
ness"
