Some of the ship ment is destined for Europe.
 The Bellingham is owned by the Northland Transportation Compa- ny, which operates the Norco and the Northland. The Bellingham's present voyage is made to take care of business that was expected to be handled by the Northland, now undergoing repairs in drydock in Seattle. The Bellingham arrived in Juneau last night. She sailed south this afternoon. She carries no passengers.

The plot has thickened since the football sleuths began to debate the origin of the famous "ball-hidden- under-the- jersey" trick, widely at- tributed to the inventive mind of the Old Fox, Glenn Scobey War her.
 Following documentary evidence we recently received, showing War ner tried this play while coach- sing Cornell in a game against Penn State in 1897, facts have been for warded to me by William T. Chris tian, sports editor of the Richmond News Leader, disclosing that Au- burn used the maneuver suc- eessfully against Vanderbilt in 1895.
 Rival cartoonists, it seems, helped stimulate the debate, for Christian writes as follows:
 Strange as it seems, the man who disputes Warmers claim to the creation of the play was depicted in John Hix's column. The day after Ripley quoted Warner, Rey- holds Tichenor, 116-pound quarter back who made the All-Southern three years in succession, while playing with Auburn, was shown in Hix's cartoon.
 Fuzzy Woodruff's history of Southern Football, Vol l, quotes Tichenor, now an Atlanta lawyer sas follows:
 "eThe play was simply this. When the ball was snapped it went to a halfback. The play was closely massed and well screened. The half back then thrust the ball under the back of my jersey. Then he would crash into the line. After the play I simply trotted away to touchdown
 "The play, after being practiced, i. was used by Auburn against Van derbilt and Tichenor scored a touchdown. Vanderbilt won, how ever, 9-6, the first time in the his tory of southern football that a field goal decided a game.
 "All that, according to Wood ruff. the newspapers of the time, Tichenor and H. H. Smith, a Rich mond business man, who played half back, happened in the fall of 1895, at least two years before : Warner claims to have used the play. And Warner was then coach .i.g at Georgia, where he no doubt heard of it's use.
 Believe it or not, strange as it seems, Ripley had Warner calling the hidden ball trick his creation, and the most unusual football play; John Hix had a drawing of Tich- enor. who also claims to be its originator; and MT. Smith, Tiche- |. nor's team-mate, set me straight in the whole matter, all inside week although it happened more thar thirty years ago."
 All the hue and cry about col lege sport over emphasis is very annoying to a number of the old timers, among them Elmer Oh- chant, regarded by many discerning coaches, including Riff Jones and Knute Rockne, as one of the four < CT five greatest backfield men the game has produced.

quite staedily. In view Of this
deliberate progress It seems prob
able that It viii continue for a
long time to come. The pioneer
spirit is stilI strong in the hearts
OF western men and they are not
easily discouraged.
There still remain many large
districts that have yet to be test
ed. Drilling technique is inn
proving rapidly. and many pros
poets that hitherto have been
inaccesaibley deep will be tested
in the future.
The fundamental factors; paieo-
graphical setting; stratigraphi-
cai relations. lithoIogy. and struc-
tural conditions prevailing in the
geology Of Alberta are closely
similar to those known in your
rich American fields from colora-
do north. This fact alone is a
strong indication Of bright pros
poets for the future.
When the time comes for the
refining Of the cruder forms Of
hydrocarbons. coal and heavy
bitumens. western Canada's Inn
portance win grow immensely |
because Of the huge reserves OF
these materials lying in our
country.
There seems no doubt that the
natural gas Industry, already we'll
established win enjoy a long
period OF success.

firmly believe that crude oil in
large quantity win be discovered
and developed there in the near
future.
