Canner's Attorney Before Last Judge

Evan s. McCord, Seattle at tcrney died last week in his home of heart attack. He was closely identified with the fish, ing industry and banking inter eSts in Seattle. He it was who helped draft the treaty on salm- or fishing between the United States and British Columbia. Tn 1921 he appeared before the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries for the canners for which he was alleg- ed to have received $25,000. It was this same year that the Alaska Native Brotherhood sent William L. Paul to appear before the same committee represent ing ALL Alaska fishermen in protest against the proposed law and the discriminatory ad- ministration of the fisheries by the Bureau of Fisheries. Very few white fishermen, if any, gave Paul or the Brotherhood any financial assistance. The law proposed by McCord at that time failed of passage but he got his large fee just the same. If we remember correctly, Paul was lucky to have been able to get his transportation home.

New Scheme to
 Raise islander

Left this week from Seattle, Frank Curtis, housemover, on a quest of treasure trove in the icy waters off Douglas Island with equipment capable of sal vaging the old Klondike passen- ger steamer Islander. which sank in 1901 with a reputed car go of s3,OO0, 900 In gold. ~
 Curtis with George and Rus sel Cnthero of Seattle have evolved a new plan whereby they hope to have the old ship on the beached and emptied of her horde before fall.
 Using the diving bell perfect ed by the Wiley brothers oi Olympia, they intend to pass cables around the wreck and then lift her up with the tide At each tide they will move the hulk 8 little closer in shore un- .il she is finally beached and they can use lighter equipmen, to get at her vaults.
 The efforts of the Wiley brothers last year brought forth the fact that the upper struc- ture had routed away and that many "pokes" carried by the passengers had fallen into the litter in the hold, all of which will be salvaged under the new pan.
 It was in August 1901 tha' the Islander, crack liner of th' c. P. R. struck an ice berg II Stevens Pass with a large los in life.

ing the possibility OF a crippled
lineup, the Cardinals breezed
through their final batting and
fielding drill today preparatory to
opening World series warfare to-
morrow against their 1880 con-
querors the champion Athletics.
That was the situation as the
Athletics sped westward from
Philadelphia to defend their title
and Gabby Street. manager OF the
Cardinals, champions Of the ma
tional league, was given considera-
ton to a last minute change In his
lineup with a view of replacing
Earl "Sparky" Adams at thru
base. Adams one of the sparkling
cogs Of the Cardinal machine, IN
jured his left ankle ten days ago.
High At Third
II Adams is unable to start In
the opening game tomorrow. Man
ager Street intends TO inject Andy
High into the third base position
with the batting order remaining
the same.
Coming OF top Of the shoulder
injury that threw Jess Haines, one
of the Cardinals pitching aces out
OF the series, the injury TO Adams
was a crushing blow to the
hopes of the Cardinals although
High Is regarded al q capable
substitute.
In addition. the Cardinals SUI

Martin. however, undoubtedly will
get into the game despite his In
jury but Manager Street has sever
al other combinations available If
Martin Is unable for duty In center

With the Athletics ruling z to
favorites the Cardinals neverthe-
less are determined to triumph IN
spite Of the jinx pursuing them.
Manager Street says his club Is
well equipped In reserves and with
capable players available to fill
any gap that accident may create,
the Cardinals will take the field
with confidence against Their
American league rivals.
