SIT K A TIGERS DOWN DEM0LAyS AZ TO 40 SCORE.
Invaders Take Lead at Start and Hold It - Eagles
 Beat Tally, 42-3S

Too fast for the speedballs of the Juneau leagues, the Sitka Tigers last night defeated the DeIolay Basketeers 42-40. The Juneau cham pions finished strong, all but closing nine point lead in the last three minutes, but the invaders were too much 'cn the ball" to be caught
 Comoining fine shooting with a fast break that often put two men in the clear, the Sitka hoopsters took the lead at the opening tip-off and were never even nearly headed until the closing minute of the game Kinky Bayers was the only DeMolay big gun in top form last night, but Harold Donnelly, Nick Kasakam and Alex Didrickson led the Tigers in a speedy, deceptive, short passing at tack that more than met any oppo- sition presented
 Opening up 14-6 lead in the first quarter, the visitors carried through to lead 22-17 at half time. The visi- tors added three more points to their edge during the third quarter to bring the count to 36-23 Then the DeMolay quint began to catch up during the final period and gar nered 12 points to their opponents 6; two points shy of knotting the count.
 High Scorer
 Nick Kasakam took high point honors for the victory with seven field goals for IA points. He was fol- lowed by Harold Donnelly with 12. Kinky Bayers gathered in seven field goals and converted one foul shot to take scoring honors of the game with 15 points, despite an in- lury to his foot that forced him out pI the game for the last half of the second quarter E. Lindstrom and Blomquist each scored T points for the DeMolays. Alex Didrickson went out on four personal fouls in the final minute of the game. Five fouls were called against the DeMolays md six against Sitka.
 The Sitka Tigers left last night In their own boat for Hoonah where they will play their next contest. EAGLES, AZ; TALLAPOOSA, 3S:

from the Secretary's office. The
department feels that Montana
is likewise protected In every
possible way.
The power site belongs to the
Indians, and this agreement pro-
vides for the payment to them
of ROYALTIES for the use of this
site, such as no State, private
individual, or government has
ever received for any power site
in or out of Montana.
Numerous power sites have
been obtained by power inter-
ests i'm and out of Montana
without the payment of any
royalties, either to the State, or
the government.
When the Power companies de-
faulted l insisted suit be brought
on behalf of the Indians for a
violation Of contract. The Sec
retarv of Interior recommended
to the Attorney General that
this be done. The Montana
Power Company employed Hon.
]. Bruce Kremer to represent
them here in Washington. Ac-
ton was delayed. l appealed to
the Secretary of Interior for &C
ton to the Attorney General and
finally to the President of the
United States.
The Power Company, l am
told, finally verbally agreed to
the terms proposed by the In
terror Department but have not
signed the agreement. Both
Senator Murray and have
urged the government to build
this project, but because of the
original permit issued it would
necessitate long litigation in the
Courts. The Indian owners were
and are anxious to get their
royalties, and the contract is the
best one ever entered into by
any power company anywhere in
this country, at least, that is the
information given me by the De-
partment. Perhaps you have adj
vice to the contrary.

of a letter from the Interior De-

criticisms. If you had followed
the history of this case l am
sure you would know that
neither Senator Walsh nor l
had anything to do with the
original contract, except to try
to insist that the Indians were
protected. The contract was
approved by former governor
Jos. M. Dixon, Secretary Of In

warm personal friend.
At the time the application
was originally pending l tried to
get the administration, as MIR.
