Playing superb basketball at times
last night. the local High School
won both the girls and boys games
in the first OF the four-gane an

the game, Terhune and Minzgohr
going out on fouls. The local boys
squad unleashed strong attack
that carried it through TO 81 TO s

Haglund Is Scorer
Haglund's scoring and fine floor
work featured the attacks OF the
Crimson Bears. He Gagged five from
the field and two gift toSses TO
compile total of II points.
creditable showing for the time he
was in. Coach Reggie used his sec
ond string for about one-half OF
the game.
The Islanders made but three
goals from scrimmage. Juneau sank
IA from the field and added four
more points on as many free
throws.
Mildred Hanson and Jean Carl
son put the local girls out in front
after a few minutes of play in the
first quarter and Barbara Winn,
shifted to forward in the final pc
Rod, Gagged three to increase the
margin. Coach Herbig started the
local second string and the Island

Wiped Out Quickly
With the first string in, this adj
vantage was erased in short order
and at the end of the first half
Juneau led IA to 8. The second
half was captured IS to s.
Juneau lost three and Douglas
two via the foul route. Minzgohr

tigation of possible sources of sup

er supply, but that the outlook was
not particularly encouraging. Sal
mon Greek and Granite Creek had
been mentioned lin this connection,
but he had found that prior rights
held by mining companies and
other concerns on these streams
eomplicate the situation, SO far as
the city getting water rights was
concerned.
H. L. Faulkner, City Attorney,
briefly discussed the legal aspects
of the question. He said that al
though the Juneau Water Com
panys franchise required the COM
pany to furnish an adequate supply
Of water and it had been made
clear that an adequate supply is
not being furnished at this time,
it was impossible to tell whether
the courts would uphold a revoca-

MUCH that the IVA is doing
Iva is in the nature of expert
ment, which, if successful, will
benefit the whole country. 1t is
generally understood in Washing
ton that the Tennessee valley is
being used as a laboratory for try
ing out some Of the New Deal ex-
periments.
An example is soil erosion work.
At first, check dams were built.
1t is the method being used
throughout the country. But
dams, especially those built of
stone, are costly and take lot
of time to build.
IVA soil erosion experts have
experimental with different meth
DDS until now they have found the
best and least expensive way. 1t
consists Of blowing in all but the
main gully on hillside until
they are level, seeding them with
grass, then covering them with
straw mating to keep the rains
from washing out the seeds and
the new fills.
The main gully acts as a drain
for the entire hillside, and dams
are built in it to check the flow
