MAJOR BOWES HOUR

A telegram was sent last night by
the Alaska Territorial Chamber of
Commerce to the J. Walter Thomp-

Alaska be given position on the

also our gold mines yielding over
fifteen millions yearly as well as
our copper, furs, wild life, game
fishing, scenic wonders such as over
one thousand miles of inland wa
tiers from Seattle to Skagway, our
glaciers and snow clad mountains
viewed by thousands of tourists each
year would make an interesting
story for your listeners" the tele-
gam said in part.

Henry 0'Ma||ey
Dies Suddenly
in Seattle Home
Former US. Fisheries Com
missioner Succumbs
to Heart Ailment

Henry O'Malley, for IL years U. S.
Commissioner of Fisheries and
widely known in Alaska, died sud-
denly this morning at his home in
Seattle, according to word received
here today by H. L. Faulkner from
Archie Shields. Mr. o. Malley has
been in poor health for some time,
suffering from heart ailment.
Last summer when he visited here
he was confined to st. AIMS Hos
pitai for three weeks before recov-
ering sufficiently to return to Seat
tie.
One of the best known and best
liked men in the north, Mr.. OMal-
ley was appointed Commissioner of
Fisheries by the late President
Harding in 1920 and served con-
tinuously in that position until 1882
when he was succeeded by Frank T.
Bell. He stayed on with the depart
ment for some time and was as
signed by Mr.. Bell as Superintend-
ent of Federal fish hatchery at
Baird, Cal He later resigned that
post and returned to Seattle. Later
he became associated with the Ore
gon Fish Commission.
The former commissioner was
considered one of the best versed
men on the fishing industry in the
nation. He had made a thorough
study of the business and there was
no angle of it with which he was not
readily conversant. A man of
broad character, he had countless
friends not only in the Territory
but throughout the States and his
death came as a distinct shock to
a wide circle.
Mrs. OMalley, in Seattle, and a
sister, Miss Emily O'Malley, of
Portland, survive.

ORTHOPEDIC
PENNY drive
STARTS here
Mrs. ]. F. Mullen Is Named
Chairman of Drive to
Raise Funds

Arrangements for the third an
nual Penny Drive which begins on
Monday to raise funds for the Or
thopedic Hospital in Seattle, are
now under way with the appoint
ment again this year of Mrs. J. F.
Mullen as chairman. Mrs. Mullen
received her appointment from Mrs.
G. w. Skinner of Seattle, chairman
Of the Penny Drive for cities out
side of Seattle, who has had charge
# the two previous campaigns in
Juneau.
Those who will assist Mrs Mullen
are. Mrs. Ike Taylor, Mis-. E. w.
Clifford, Mrs. A. w. Stewart, Mrs.
A. Van Malvern, Miss Jane Alexan-
der, and Miss Nell McCloskey.
Envelopes and Boxes
Penny envelopes and boxes will be
distributed by the committee next
Monday throughout the business
section of town to give the people
who wish to help the Orthopedic
with contributions, small or large an
opportunity to take part in the hos
pitfalls worthy charity.
The Orthopedic Hospital is not a
community fund charity, but is
maintained by private donations, en-
dowments, and the various Ortho-
pedic Guilds in Seattle, the State
of Washington, and the Territory
of Alaska. Doctors, who are among
the most outstanding physicians in
their special lines, donate their SER
vices free of charge to the hospital.
Patients who can pay do so, but
inability to pay disqualification
charges does not keep a cripple child
from receiving treatment
Doors Always Open
Though the hospital is located in
Seattle, its doors have been open
to children from Alaska since it's
establishment in 1908. Since that
time 1877 young Alaskan boys and
girls have been treated there, and
of this number 80 have been from
Juneau.
During the last year twelve chill
dren from Alaska were patients at
the Orthopedic and two of these
were from Juneau.
No discrimination is shown by
the OfCnopedic and Indian and
white children alike are cared for
there. Figures from the Bureau of
Indian Affairs show 3,114 hospital
days last year for Indian children
who were sent for care there. The
Bureau has cases there at the
present time, and averages 10 cases
most of the time.
Among the local members of the
medical profession who have given
their time and service to the Or
thopedic is Dr. William P. Blanton
who was connected with the hos
pital for period of three months.

Another Honest
Man Found; Third
Man Hunted

Another honest man is found
Yesterday, through a classified
in the Daily Alaska Empire. Ole
Olsen received 500 he had lost, re-
turned to him by honest Axel Boroff,
relief worker. Further develop
ments in the story revealed that
Road Copstead, butcher with the
Piggy Wiggly Company, who on the
same date lost bill fold containing
$40, refused to accept Olsen's mon
ey when offered to him.
When Boroff found the money
yesterday, he read similar adver-
tisement in The Empire, paid by
Copstead, advertising for his lost
bill fold. Thinking the young butch
er was the owner of the money,
Boroff turned the bill fold and
money over to him. Honest Road
refused to take it, however, and
told the finder to go to The Empire
with it, resulting in the finding of
the rightful owner And now, all
are satisfied. Roald is satisfied in
helping to find the owner, Alex
has the singular satisfaction of re-
turning the money, Ole is happy
now, for he can take the money
for fare to the Westward where he
will be employed, and The Empire
is glad to be the happy medium of
it all.
But-who found Copsteads bill
fold and $40?

report to the Senate next year, at
which time probably it will suggest
remedial legislation
Accusation Made
The Bureau of Indian Affairs was
accused by the Senator as having
paid little attention to Dimonds
report" that the Indians are being
deprived of their fur bearing ami
mails and fishing grounds.
THE whites" he said, "are in
terfering with the merchandising
business generally"

ROAD TO CHAMPIONSHIP
rs FAR FROM SPORTING

Now that the Olympic Games victors
have been duly cheered, bemedaled, and
banqueted, it might be good thing for
us to devote little time to the question,
What does the amateur sports champion
get out of it all, anyway?
He gets medals, of course, and head
lines, and sometimes he is able to get a
fair living out of it-as long as his legs
hold up But he generally has to pay
good deal for these things and he must
sometimes wonder if they are worth all
they cost.
To be superlatively good at anything,
you have to devote your life to it
whether it be athletics, music, crime de-
lection, or the making of terra Gotta
busts. The champion has to work at his
job everlastingly; he has to eat and
sleep his calling, so to speak, between
all performances.
There are callings in which the result
is infinitely worth the price-and there
are callings in which it is not.
This writer recently saw junior
swimming meet. A young lady of some
IA summers put on truly marvellous
display of aquatic prowess. People who
watched her said: "Ah-there goes
future Olympic champion"
well, tnaC is WnaC Ine young lduy
mother thinks, too. She has thought so
for long time-and, as a result, this
girl has averaged 21E hours practice in
the pool every day for several years.
Some day, possibly, she will be an
Olympic champion, and we all will know
her name and her contours very well
indeed; and we can only hope that she
will then feel repaid for all those hours
of practice.
Our own private hunch is that some
day she will decide that she was sold
down the river for the sake of little
fame; and when she makes that deci-
sion her doting mother will not be
lady to be envied.
At any rate, this swimmer is sample
Casa cross-section, so to speak, of the
amateur champion as child. And the
way she is driven to sport, as slave is
driven to the mines, is an indication that
something is profoundly wrong with our
whole conception of sport.
Sport is supposed to be means OF
recreation, of relaxation. You go down
to the corner to bowl, or out in the
coudtry to play golf, or over into the
vacant lot to tuck into bit OF softball,
