 On February, 21, the govern nlent boat, Torrance made it's regular trip to Juneau to pick up the mail. It was due to return the 23rd, but was delayed be- cause of stormy weather. It die not make it return trip until the North wind ceased and the water became calm. It got back, how ever, on the 26, with the mail for Haines, Chilkoot Barracks | and SkagWay.
 Some of the best games of the season were played during the latter part of the Haines Chil- koot Basketball Tournament. Undoubtedly the best games were between High 4School and r Company Both teams were evenly matched. The last ~ames !of the tournament were 5..ayed cn Friday, Feb, 26 The first game of the evening was between A. N. B. team and H. A. c. team. It was not as fast as it could have been The H. A. c. was pro- Eably weary of the routine of the games, and the A. N. B. team was suffering from the loss of two forwards. However both teams put up a good argument in the last quarter of the game. The final score was 18-24, in favor of the A N. B. Team.
 One of the reasons for High School beating Go. F. was that they about ran the other team ragged. It was the first time the IF. Go. was defeated during the tournament. The score was neck and neck up to the final whistle. The end of the game found High School only two baskets ahead of F. Go. The fatal score was 22-26, in favor If High School.
 The tournament was not all it could have been due to the fact that it was handicapped by dis agreeable weather and the fin epidemic The games were good however, and were enjoyed by all who attended. The teams stood as follows at the end of the tournament: F. Company, first; A. N. B., second; High School, third; and HA.C. fourth.

tune again has smiled on Ponca City,
home of Lew Wentz and E. w. Marland,
prominent oil men whose bounty has
included swimming pools, golf courses,
riding stables and free movies, as well
as more substantial gifts.
While many American cities struggle
with tax burdens, Ponca City is tax

rates twice have been reduced in the
past two years.
Marland. now attempting a come
back after making and losing an oil
fortune. has been forced to forego the
munifcence which gave the city golf
course and free horseback riding. But
the heroic statue of the. pioneer wom-
an" the parks he did so much to create
and beautify (importing a japanese
gardener to direct the 1andscaping) and
his magnificent home, all remain.
His stables now virtually are closed
and the golf course charges a nom
hal fee.
Wentz, bachelor. Is devoted espe-
cielly to the welfare of crippled children.
but his generosity extends to all. He
gives ice in the Summer and toys at
Christmas A free swimming pool for
children In one of the city parks is his
gift and an annual feature is a bathing

Touched by the sight of poor farm

q luxury he could i'll afford, Wentz in
augurated free movies at the city audi
torium twice week. They're not talk

city taxation.
Four cities in KanSas-Chanute, Col

HOOVER FIGHTS JUST LIKE TAFT
 BACK IN 1912
Taft Took the Stump That Year to Save His Broken Forces But He Was De- feated
BY HENRY F. MISSELWTTZ United Press Staff Correspondent)

BY HENRY F. MISSELWIIZ United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, October 26 -(UP) - Herbert Hoover is making one of the most intensive campaigns for reelection of any president since the late William Howard Taft took the stump in vain in 1912.
 His speech In indianapolis Fri day night will carry him into the doubtful midwestern area for the fourth time in as many weeks. He speaks there at the urgent request of Senator James Watson, facing q desperate reelection fight, and other republican leaders.
 Weekend after weekend as tn campaign draws to 8 close, the president has gone into the agricul- tural, mining and industrial sec- tions of the pivotal midwest states in pursuit of votes.
 Like President Taft, who broke what had become almost tradi- ton, MT Hoover was forced by circumstances to take the stump for reelection. He will continue to lead the republican battle up to the last moment.
 His next speech in New York on Monday night at Madison Square Garden presages a possible dash to California the final week of the campaign. He will not go to Chi cago this weekend, returning at apolis after his speech.
 But he may go there next week, either as a separate invasion again of that area, or as q major stop on his projected cross country drive ending at his home in Palo Alto, California. All these phases re- mained "n the mill" as he rallied his forces for a smashing climax to one of the hottest campaigns in recent history.
 His Indiana tour will begin late Thursday, it was believed. The presidential special was expected to go over the Baltimore and Ohio route, through Virginia and North ern West Virginia into southern Ohio. A possible stop was said to be Cincinnati for a platform speech.
 The president has touched only briefly on farm problems since his Des Moines speech, hence he may emphasize that side of his program again at Indianapolis. He undoubt- edly will return to his attack on Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt's policies.
 The sharpness of the presidents personal ridicule of Governor Roosevelt has increased with every public appearance. In this anu his personal participation, the chief executive is emulating Tafts futile drive against the fatal conn bination against him of the dem. acrats and the short-lived Bull Moose party led by the late Theo- dore Roosevelt.
 Ordinarily presidents up for re- election remain aloof. They per- init the political sages of their party to handle the campaign. Roosevelt did that in 1904 and 1t was regarded as a precedent then. Wilson and Coolidge followed suit, ignoring Taft's action. '
