Sentiment today continued to yeer toward Battling Mix" 190- pound boxer from Ketchikan. who seeks to climb another notch in the ladder leading to the Alaska heavyweight crown at the expense Of Ford Butler, one-time champion of Alaska, who is himself trying desperately for a comeback. The show starts promptly at S:30 o'clock tonight in the Vets arena at A. B. Hall.
 Butler probably will enter the scrap weighing between 180 and 195 pounds. He looks to be in the pink of physical condition.
 F0rgets FOoiishness
 In his last two appearances here, Butler has entered the ring notic- ably in poor shape. He had, ap- parently, done his training badly if at all. He showed very little of the ability that he has proved he possesses. Tonight should be different. Butler has subjected himself to a severe training regime and the results are clearly evident in his showing with sparring part ners. He is shooting blows with both hands with all his oldtime
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-04-15

force and times his blows with much more acuracy than in his re- cent battles.
 Mix is in superb condition. He is a seasoned athlete. He gradu- ated from the ranks of the Haskell Indian football team several years ago to the pro-grid ranks and from that took a twirl at wrestling. Lat CT he decided to try his hand at the ring game.
 Has Fine Record
 Mix has a splendid record since coming to Alaska. He laid away Freddie Mack, Seattle and Ketchi- kan fighter, in two rounds. Joe Manila, who held more than his own with Butler, was his second victim, and was socked to sleep in two rounds. Mix then took on K. O. Martin, whose name failed to grace the record books, and an- nexed his scalp in one round. He is confident he will win from But Ter tonight over the same route.
 In the semi-final an old grudge is going to be settled tonight be- tween Weaver and Nelson. These lads fought once before and the Battler, he called himself Slugger then. walked away with the decis- ion. Sammy thought the worst he should have had was draw and believed he was entitled to the referees nod.
 When this chance came to even the score, Nelson quit fooling around and settled down to stiff training grind. He is cocksure he can whip Weaver and believes tonight is the time he's going to demonstrate it to the fans. At this distance it looks like toss-up.
 Louis Nabalis. clever Filipino box CT. is giving away 10 pounds or so to Kid" Jerry Roberts in the sec ond bout on the card. In the 12O pound class this is a material handicap but the little brown brother believes his speed and clev- erness will offset any weight dis advantage.
 Pete Vilardi and Billy Jam m2s both local boys with good rec ords, open the show.
 In order that it's sportive mem- bers, and most of them come under that classification, may attend the affair, the local Elks lodge has ad- vanced it's meeting hour tonight to 7:30 o'clock. Lodge will be cur tailed to necessary business rou- tine and will be concluded in plen- ty of time for those attending to reach the arena by the time the first bout is called.

County.
The presentation revealed for the first
time the existence of an account Of $780,
623.4 said to have accumulated against
the county since 1925. This sum, it was
said. represented an accumulation of con-
struction costs in excess Of the estimates

The county periodically has been settling
for highways constructed for 1t by the State
Roads Commission which were TO be financed
through county funds. The highways we're
built in advance of the actual receipt Of
