All for Best
The changes in the game have
all been for the best, he believes.
Those that will come in the fu.
ture will serve the same purpose.
He explained: :.
81 think the game is getting
constantly better. I've heard q
lot of talk about baseball not :
being what it used to be. That's
not true. We are still using the
same old plays and we've added
a lot of mighty good ones.
Others will come, and they, too,
will be for the better of base
ball"
The fans are already calling

differs with them. He states:
"They call it wreckage, do
they? Well, we all like a win

NO ACTION ON TARIFF LAWS
 TO BE TAKEN
Democratic Caucus Goes on Record-Crowther
 Bill Is Doomed

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Defeat of tariff legislation designed to offset depreciated foreign curren- cy is indicated by a solid stand of the Democratic majority against enactment of such measures this session.
 Opposition was registered at the party caucus of the Democrats at which it was voted, 161 to to throw weight against the Repub- lican supported Crowther bill which comes up Monday.
 The tariff question came to the front today as Congressional com ment indicated plainly that Great Britain will have to offer some thing better in the way of a war debt settlement plan than just 10 cents on the dollar. Leaders said some very definite trade conces- sions that will benefit American industry and agriculture will have tc be made.

TWO MEN ARRESTED
 BY ROANOKE POLICE
Check for $17,000 Hidden in Stump-Attempt Is
 Made to Cash It

ROANOKE, Virginia, Feb. 9.-The police late today ar rested Joe Bryant, aged 19, and Norman Harvey, aged 26, in what is charged as being a crude e attempt to extOrt $50,000 from Col. Charles A. Lindbergh u n d e r threat to kidnap his second infant son, John Morrow Lindbergh. p The two youths are held for Federal authorities.
 They denied they had any connection with threatening letters or had they engaged in correspondence with a po- liceman who represented him. self as a representative of Col. Lindbergh.
 The two youths were ar rested in a ruse employed by the police when young Bry- ant ook a $17,000 check, which had been planted in a stump in a wooded section some days ago, to a bank to obtain the cash.
 The police have been trying to trap the person attempting to ex- tort this money for more than two months when attention was called to the plot by Col Lindbergh after he had received two threatening letters. The letters were turned over to the New Jersey police.
 Correspondence has been carried on for weeks by the police with the extortjonists and the check for $17,000 was finally placed in the stump. This amount was cut down from the $50,00O demanded.
 Bryant told the police he came upon the check yesterday by acci- dent and told Harvey about it.
 Harvey said he had nothing to do with it but did drive Bryant to the bank.

LOCAL CHAMBER CREETS GUESTS AT NOON u NIGH
Residents of Nome, Ketchi- kan, Wrangell and Pet

Chambers of Commerce in Alas ka offer the best medium for in- r-community friendships n cooperation effort since they have one common purpose-work for the promotion of the material welfare of all the Territory-declared Judge " A Holzheimer, prominent Ket- chikan attorney, and candidate of the Divisional Democratic organi- zation for United States Attorney in brief talk before the Cham Der of Commerce today.
 He William T. Mahoney, can- didate for Marshal, James Nolan, Secretary of the Wrangell Cham bel of Commerce and member of the Democratic Divisional Commit tee, Senator Alfred Lomen of Nome, and J. M. Wyckoff, Forest Ranger for the Petersburg division of Tongass National Forest, were Chamber guests at it's weekly lun- cheon meeting.
 Not Carpetbaggers
 Judge Holzheimer and MT. Ma honey emphasized the fact in a hI morous vein, that they are not "carpetbaggers," and are Alas kans. "The pleasant days of my life were spent here and some of my dearest friends are Juneau res- idents," added Judge Holzheimer.
 The average non-C Chamber of Commerce member has no concep- ton of the scope and quantity of work done by Chamber of Com nerce, declared MT. Nolan, add ing that even the members of such organizations often overlooked much of the work one and achieve ments accomplished.

REINDEER TREK
 ACROSS ARCTIC
 MAKES HISTORY
Movement of 5000 Deer to Mackenzie River Sec
 ton Unusual Feat

The greatest trek of herded livestock ever made in any land at any time is about to be suc- cessfully concluded in the Canad- ian Arctic on the headwaters of the Mackenzie River. This is the movement of 5000 head of rein oeer by the Lomen interests from Seward Peninsula to the Kittigar- uit Peninsula on the Mackenzie that was begun more than three years ago.
 The drive was on the mainland opposite HerscIlel Island at Christ mas and about 100 miles distant f.om it's destination, according to Senator Alfred Lomen who visited here last night and today. The trek was 1,600 miles in length and was over country without trails, largely unmapped and unexplored.
 Fades Cattle Drives
 Senator Lomen, who is general manager of the Lomen reindeer operations in the north, is enroute 10 Seattle on company business. Hc will return here in two weeks to be on hand for the opening of tle Alaska Legislature.
 The movement of the deer, he said, has been an unequalled suc- cess. Compared to the drive, the famous Chisholm Trail cattle drives Of the early history of the great southwest section of the country fade into insignificance. He gave all the credit to Andy Barr, trail boss, who has had entire charge of the drive, assisted by expert Lapps.
 Barr has covered the 1 500 miles over wilderness country, overcom- ing grave natural hazards of wealth CT and isolation in remarkable time. He will deliver more than the 5000 animals we sold to the Canadian Government, an addi- tional 1000 of the deer forming part of the original herd have re- joined the home herd, backtrack- ing while the drive was in pro gress. The natural increase in the herd was sufficient to make up that loss and to provide food for the herders," Mir Lomen pointed out.
 For Food and Clothing
 In establishing reindeer in the Mackenzie region, the Canadian au- thorities are following the lead of the United States more than 30 years ago, and for identicaliy the same reasons, he said. The orig ipal reindeer were brought to nor- thern Alaska to furnish food and clothing for the Eskimos. The stock has increased so steadily that the herds have long since passed the point where they are valuable solely for the original purposes and are reckoned now as the basis for a great industry in
