Norwegians Win
In Skating Meet
Scandinavians Win First Three
Places in World Title
Tournament

Lake Placid, N. Y, Feb. 20.-(R-
Norway held almost all the places of
honor in the worlds speed skating
championships going into the second
half of the program Saturday with
two titles decided.
Led by War Ballangrud. the Nor
wegian skaters who failed in their at
tempt to master the American style
Of racing In the Olympic games, held
the first three places in the point
scoring for the individual title Of
champion of the world In speed
skating for 1892"
The worlds championship events
are run on the European plan Of hav-
ing two men skate against time in
each heat. The best time wins the
championship and the low point total,
based on the times made in the four
events. decides the all-around cham
pionship.
Ballangrud, who won the 5000 me-
ter race in 1897 $40 and skated the
500 meter event only 9/10 Of second
slower than the winner, Haakon Ped
ersen, another Norwegian star, led
with 81 points. Bernt Evensen was
second with 97.4 points. Michael
Staksrud third with CTS, Eddie
Schroeder Of Chicago, who did his
share to uphold Americas skating
honors by taking second place in the
5000 meters held fourth place with
98.5 points and Ossian Blomqiust Of
Finland was fifth with 08.6.
The winning times Friday both
were better than those made by Jack
Shea and Irving Jaffee In winning
the events at the same distances at
the Olympics but the edge was taken
off the Norwegian triumphs by the
absence Of the Olympic champions.

sofa at Minneapolis; Buck
eyes Play Chicago

Chicago, Feb. 20.-(R)-First place
in the Big Ten basketball champion
ship battle will be tossed up for grabs
tonight when Northwestern and Pur-
due meet on the Boilermakers' floor.
Northwestern. seeking to win a Sec
ond consecutive title, leads the league
with seven victories and one setback.
Michigan, the other possibility for
the title, or slice thereof, will meet
Illinois, and must win to remain in
the battle. The Wolverines trounced
Illinois at Ann Arbor, but the 1llini
may have one of their good nights
and score another upset. Two of H.
linois' four victories were scored at
the expense of Purdue and Minnesota
and both were unexpected.
Should Purdue 60 into the lead by
defeating Northwestern, and with
Michigan and the Boilermakers not
meeting this season. q tie for the title
is extremely likely.
The other six members of the
league will be called upon for con-
ference battles, but none will have
bearing on the championship situa-
ton. Wisconsin, still trying to win
its second Big Ten game, will tackle
Minnesota at Minneapolis, viii e
Ohio State will seek its fifth victory
against Chicago.
| Indiana, making up for lost time
after a bad start, will meet Iowa,
which also has shown improvement,
at Iowa City.

The contest degenerated from q
pretty basketball game the first half

dashed away to a 80 to is lead the

Schultz, were outstanding in all de-

ALASKA LOVE, AT FIRST
 SIGHT By James R. Little

I was just seventeen years o1 age in June, 1896, when I left Seattle Washington on the City los Topeka and proceeded to Jul reau.
 And as I sailed to this land o1 the Midnight Sun, through the inland island dotted sea for the first time in my young life watched the sunshine of gorge ous clearness at midnight.
 All around our ship, beautiful mountains loomed far up among the clouds where their apexes were half-hidden, and on the verdant shore-line could be seen quaint Indian villages and fish canneries. I remember it we'll! It was ten o'clock in the even ing-before the sun set behind the western hills in a blaze Of scarlet, yellow and purple, re- fected by soft, butterfly clouds and mountain tops in the east. After that came the Alaskan luminous moonlight making a regal glory of the darkness and flashing in opal gleams from the sheltered sea. While I watched the rippling lustre of water tre- rulous with starlight, and the languid breath of the night air, I was fain to ask if it was the land of dreams! Could those ce the faraway shores of Alaska !? The pathos and tenderness of the scene, the glow, the fire, and throbbing loneliness were in : deScribable. Even the few f1eecy clouds which sailed between us and the planets seemed as if they came to wait our hymns Of praise to heaven! And I thought "Is not such surpaSsing beauty of nature an Image of the In : finite One'?" It seemed to me q

 beauty and stiffness of this mag ic hour that gave my young
 heart infinite peace! And as stood on deck of the steamer was bewitched at the miracle o1 light and color. A land o1 thought gorgeously alone in it. splendor of golden midnight sun land lovely shadoWs-g r n S blues and purples-my eyes were captivated by the beauty anC variety while the imagination was constantly stimulated to is utmost capacity. Here grandeur and beauty prevails, the flora and verdant loveliness captivates me. The trees excell in size and majesty. The mountains in height, the rivers in volume and length; while the glaciers are without comparison in magnl- tude and power. Here is simpli- clty-v a S n ss, magnif1cence There, fertility, fragrance, loveli.- ness. Admirable consistency and crder exist everywhere typifying a great overruling Supreme Tn telligence.
 AS boy, then, long years ago I paused for a moment amid this silent tranquility to sum up this wonderful experience! And as gazed on the magic shore-line where cascades came tumbling down near Indian hamlets dot ted by totem poles and glaciers emptying themselves into the sea and forming opaline ice bergs, I thought of those dear people and the beauty and still ness that must give them in- finite peace in their homeland.

WICKERSHAM LIBRARY OF
 ALASKA MOST COMPLETE

There is scarcely an old timer in Alaska who has not at one time or another voted to send James Wickersham to Washing ton as the Territory's only repre- sentative in congress.
 His 12-year record as the Alas kan delegate, almost all of them spent at Washington during the tune when the world was torn by war, was capped in 1880 by election to another two-year term, which he is now serving. Delegate Wickersham took of flee succeeding Dan Sutherland, March 4 last year, after spending nearly 10 years in Juneau in the practice of law.
 Law and the delegateship have been MT. Wickersham's profes- sions. Alaskan history, ethnology and anthropology have been his hobbies.
 The most gigantic historical task ever attempted so far as Alaska is concerned, recently was completed by MT. Wickersham- 9 bibliography of 10000 Alaskan
 titles covering the years from
 1724 to 1924. In it is listed prac-
 tically every newspaper article,
 every magazine article, every |book, ever written about the lnorthland. This includes not Icnly American and English re-
 cords, but the early Russian,
 German, French and all others. The book, of course, has brought
 only a slight financial return. Il must go down as an almost un-
 rewarded work of benefit for Alaska. I Alaskan Library
 I At his home in Juneau Mir Wickersham has the most com Iplete Alaskan library in exist fence. There are valuable pam Iphlets, original letters, books, al gathered with painstaking care ylfrom myriad sources.

GET AWAY DAY
Juneau, Alaska, August 25, 1882.

Juneau, Alaska, August 25, 1882. Editor, The Alaskan, Petersburg, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 As every race track habitue' knows, it is highly dangerous to make a bet on form during the last few days of racing at any track. During the last four or five days of racing it is custom ary for the owners to get to- gether and frame the races so that those who have not been fortunate enough to win any money, shall get at least one plug across the line first thereby gaining enough to provide trans portation to the next race meet.
 With next January fast ap- preaching and the end of the Harding regime in sight, we arc reminded of "get away day"
 Judge Harding has recently dismissed court reporter New man. one of the most efficient men in his line who ever yielded . fountain pen in Alaska, a man with a wife and family depend ent upon his efforts, to make room for another member of the Harding family imported from the states, Harding's sister in law.
 With another sister-in-l a " holding the job of chief clerk in the District Attorneys office, tie Harding family is pretty well represented on the government gay roll at Juneau.
 A month or so ago, Senator Brookhart of Iowa lost his job largely on the ground that he was using his office too largely as a means of furnishing jobs to the Brookhart family.
 One Silas Reed of Oklahoma was appointed District Judge in the Third Division of Alaska some twenty years ago. He lost lis judicial wig and errnine largely upon the ground that he was employing too many rela- tives in positions of trust and profit.
 But January is close at hand and get away day is here.
