with Logan available as utility man.
 The local smoke eaters will send their heaviest artillery into action against the Capitals. Allen, whose sensational shooting featured the Firemens defeat of the Alumni last week, and Hollmann, veteran of several seasons play, will start as forwards. Lloyd Bayers, sparkling young center, will be another of the Firemens big guns on the offense. Stewart, Trusky, Thompson and Gartley are available for guards and utility men elsewhere.
 Former Wrangell Star
 The Capitals have a former Wrangell High School star in their lineup. Livingston Desmond, one of the best high school hoopers ever produced in Southeast Alaska, is pivot man for them. Wiitanen and Grigsby and L. Smith will divide the two forward positions, and Bak- CT and Davlin are guards.
 The curtain-raiser between the Island Bremen and the Alumni will start at 7:30 o'clock.

DISAPPOINTMENT IS FAVORABLE.

In postponng the dedication of the Territorial capitol building from January 31 to February IA, Juneau has gained two weeks in which to perfect its plans for that occasion. It should be made gala affair in keeping with the importance of the occasion and the elegance of the fine building which marks this city as Alaskas capital. Special low round trip rates to be offered by transportation companies probably will bring delegations here from all parts of the Territory. Those from western interior and far northern regions will be the ctys guests for week During their stay they should be shown every courtesy and entertainment arranged to insure that their visit will be wholly enjoyable.

A COMPARISON THAT IS UNFAIR.

The comparison made by the Senate Commit tee of rates charged by the Alaska Railroad with those of similar properties owned and operated by private corporations in the Territory is unfair Vo the Governments rail holding in the North and unjust to Alaska. There are two private owned railroads operating as common carriers in Alaska, and one of them has it's greatest mileage in Can- ada. Neither of them has such problems as that faced by the Alaska Railroad, and the conditions of operations are dissmilar that any comparison attempted to be made is worse than worthless
 The Copper River & Northwestern Railroad, which links the producing Kennecott copper mines with the ocean at Cordoya, constructed for the sole purpose of hauling ore mined and milled by interests which owned both mines and carrier It not and is not dependent upon public sup port and patronage for Therefore the rates it charges are not an essential element r the tonnage hauled in the revenue received by its owners. Almost surely if it had no such source of tonnage as the Kennecott mines it would either have to encourage substantial development in the only manner possible, that is through cheap rates, shut down.
 The White Pass & Yukon Route, operating be- tween Skagway and Dawson, is almost similarly situated. It is key" route to the upper Yukon has assured passenger traffic from tourist steamers of several steamship companies which do not connect with the Alaska Railroad It has no such mileage nor investment as the latter It is not called upon to play the part of development promoter it designed such on a broad scale
 The tariffs of both the privately owned roads not exhorbitant under all of the circumstances. No the rates which the Senate Committee proposes for the Alaska Railroad But the latter project stands the Governments contribution to- ward Territorial development, which is not common to the others and what is fair and just for the them is altogether unsound and unfair for it.

EDUCATION FOR WAR ORPHANS.

Enactment of State legislation to aid World War orphans in obtaining education in the thirty eight States where such scholarship laws have not yet passed, will be advocated by The American Legion in 1881, according to announcement by Ralph T. ONeil, National Commander of the Le- zion. He has forwarded to the various Legion department commanders copy of the model bill approved by the Legion's committee the educa- tion of orphans with letter urging that the departments get behind a move to have it enacted into law at the 1881 sessions of their respective Legislatures.
 This model bill is the result of a great deal of study by the Legion's Committee on War Or

Dempsey Takes Residence
At Reno Preparatory
To Divorce Action

RENO, April 49, U.p) = Although
Jack Dempsey was in Reno today
avowedly for a rest, 1t appeared that
circumstances may combine TO turn
his visit into q divorce residence
that will end his marriage to Estelle
Taylor, film start wife.
Dempsey started his rest cure with
workout in the Reno Y. M. c. r.,
outwardly unmindful of the furry
OF rlimors that flew between here
and Hollywood, where Miss Taylor
was in seclusion.
Sure, we had q minor split, but
l believe it can be patched" Demp-
scy said. ITS possible, though, that
may ask for a divorce.
Those things are usually patched
up, you know" he said in a matter
of-fact way. What I'm really here
for is rest"
The outcome of the minor spat'
whether it will unite the famous
pair again or bring about their di-
vorce depended, according to
Dempsey, upon letters he has writ
ten Miss Taylor.
Il want to fix this up and I'm sure
1t can be-" he added
Leonard Sacks, Dempseys man
ager. was emphatic in his statement
that a divorce was not the former
heavyweight champions reason for
coming to Reno.
The papers started that talk as
soon as he came here Sacks said,
but it isn't So They've had a spat,
and both want to make up.
Il know Jack still loves her. I've
been with him transforming all
over the country and there has been
a day that he failed to send her a
telegram or wire her flowers and
candy, no matter where he was or
where she was
Dempsey planned to take things
easy aside from the workouts or
dered by his physician. He said he
came across country from West Viz
ginia to take his rest in Nevada, and
started it with a long automobile
ride across the desert with friends.
The daily workouts will continue
for at least two weeks before any
strenuous training grind is consid-
cred.

hitting divorces after a residence OF
