Lomen Corporat'n
 Gets Planning

Plans for constructive organi- zation of the reindeer industry in Alaska on a cooperative mar keting basis were outlined to the Interior Department reindeer committee recently by Leonard D. Baldwin of New York City, one Of the packers of the Lomen Corporation The Keynote of the plan is a measure of local con- trol through responsible repre- sentation of the natives, the corporation furnishing capital for boats, abattoirs and market ing.
 Senator Kendrick, chairman of the committee, said the cat tlemen of the West have been through the same difficult period of suspicion but have come to re- cognize their community of in terest.
 George Goshaw, Alaska fox farmer and critic of the Lomens, was the other witness of the day. He agreed that the Baldwin plan will be beneficial if the govern ment supervision is sufficient and the natives gain confidence that their interests are being protected. This will be a slow process, he asserted, because there has been considerak le friction. The industry has suffer- ed from marketing meat in poor condition; Goshaw said. Feturns have been small and the natives have lost interest.
 Lomen Makes Rejo;adrr.
 Carl Lomen, in a brief re- ioinder, declared Goshaw was not familiar with the business in Northern Alaska and denied un- fair dealings with the natives. The corporation reports to the government supervisors, he stat ed. and records of transactions with the Eskimo are on file.
 GoShaW estimated that rein deer in Alaska do not number more than 5OO,OO0 to 600,O00, in stead of the million or more usually named, and that the Lomen herds contain about 25,- GOO instead of 25O,OO0 as some times stated.
 Another meeting to close the testimony will be held soon The purpose is to devise rules that will make the reindeer industry profitable, under good business management, with government supervision and full protection to native interests.

Investigate Girls szsIa
 Disappearance

] "lIlle eVlueHce regardlng the Disappearance of Ruth Nelly Rhinehart, Wrangell graduate fnurse who disappeared from the Princess Louise last October 5th, was being transmitted to the Attorney General-Ottawa. the provincial police of Victoria, B. c. were continuing their in yestigations in the matter.
 The spotlight was turned on Lester B. Jones, a passenger who SWore that he had instituted a midnight search for Miss Rhine hart to tell her he could not keep a luncheon appointment. He declared that he did not see her after g o'clock of October 5th. But Robert Clark, another passenger, said that he saw Jones with Miss Rhinehart about 3::30 o'clock that evening. Jones in his testimony stated that he spent the evening with a party
 n one of the staterooms but he did not remember the number Of the cabin in which the alleged tarty was held or the names of any of the party. He stated that Ie had gone looking for the girl about midnight as he had heard that some one was wandering 2rOund the ship drunk or crazy. Clark testified that Jones had met him after midnight and
 tated that their little nurse friend" was missing. William Huges, and Oliver J. Williams, first and second officers of the Princess Louise both stated on
 he stand that they had seen the rirl and that Williams had help ad her down the steep stairway 0Ward her cabin and that there vas no sign suggestive of in coxication in her manner or
 ak. Williams further quoted Tones as saying the following lay: T seem to be the only one vho knows anything about the case, and appear to be going to be dragged into it."
 Orville Anderson, OsWego. Ore, asserted that he heard Miss Rhinehart make the statement I'll jump overheard if you don't leave me alone" A man was in her room at the time who left shortly thereafter. When he "eturned again, she assured him that she would remain in her stateroom and not jump over board.
 Those of her friends and re- atives who know Miss Rhine ,lart are more strongly of the belief that she met with foul play as the result of the brutal attentions of the man mentioned as being in her room when she threatened to commit suicide. The character of Miss Rhinehart who returned last summer from Lutheran Hospital, Portland, ! Oregon, has always been above reproach in every way and she abhored liquor in every shape.
 lust before leaving for the States, Miss Rhinehart visited in Petersburg and expressed her self as being most happy in re- turning to Portland where she was going to work in her chosen profession and to her affianced husband. This removes any idea of suicide in her mind and strengthens the thought that
 some person on the Princess Louise had a reason for putting her out of the way.

meets Pete loft, the COB, in the
main event at the Imperial Valley

Joe has never gone to the wars

considerable battling on the coast
and in Mexico, with a full credit to
the honor of the Contreras clan. He
has licked Dick Ramies, Battling

challenged none other than Ban

loft.
Winning over loft is not exactly

folks here on two occasions that he
is considerable fighting man. His
first fight with Sammy Aguirre was
a bearcat. Both boys were getting

same sort of fight was in prospect
when they cracked heads and Pete

Pacific Coast
League Scores
BY UNITED PRESS

Oscat Witt, manager of the Holly
wood Stars who has been fighting
to pull his team from a slump since
it won the first half of the Pacific
Coast league season, today faced
the prospect of a short suspension
for arguing with umpires.
While the San Francisco Seals
and Oakland Acorns, teams that
have gained new life since the Sec
ond half of the season started, were
forging four full games ahead of
Hollywood last night, Witt was ord
cred from the field at Portland for
arguing about strikes called and he
failed to see the end of Portland S
8 to victory over his team.
The Seals and Oakland broke ties
in the ninth inning to remain tied
for first place. The Seattle Indians,
who had been even with them,
made so many errors that the Mis-
sions had little trouble beating
them. The Seals triumphed over
Sacramento by a score of to 3,
Oakland over Los Angeles by a
score of to 2, and the Missions
were victorious by the score of 5
to l.
