tary of the 1886 Olympic Eques-
trian Games Committee, said:
"There is about as much difference
between this Olympic jumping
event and the average jumping
classes seen in our small United
States show rings as there is be-
tween a World Series baseball
game and sand-lot game" This
is clear enough. AS you remen-
Der, the United States was Nation
No. 9, last as team in horseman-
ship at the 1886 Olympics in Ber-
lin. This doesn't mean, though,
that they can't improve or that
they haven't improved. The United

DEER HUNTERS TAKE ID FIELD NEXT SATURDAY
Animals Reported Plentiful This Year, But Up Near
 Peaks This Early

Saturday the deer hunters can start their annual trek to the high places after the wary roebucks, the deer hunting season opening on that date to remain open until November Is.
 Three bucks will be allowed each hunter as usual for the season, Frank Dufresne. Executive Officer of the Alaska Game Commission, said today in outlining the regula- tions. and the shooting of does and lawns is prohibited.
 The official said field reports indicated a good supply of the animals this year, but at this sea son they are up near the top of the peaks, feeding the meadows around the summits.
 He called attention to one new provision of the regulations which reads: Until dismembered, it is un- lawful to mutilate the carcass of dily ulOOoSs uAou4ittihl ollCSp, VI NCCi that the sex of the animal cannot be determined"

 The national resources commit tee says that form of hysteria which is caused by the fear that the population of the United States soon will start declining is a waste of time.
 Admitting that the growth of population in this country is de- clining fairly rapidly, and may reach standstill in 50 years or less, the committee adds:
 There is no occasion for hys- teria. The transition from an to a stationary or de- creasing population may on the whole be beneficial to the life of the nation. It insures the continu- ance of favorable ration of popu- lation to natural resources in the United States. ."

] udge Lawler and Judge Holzheimer Recall Gold
 en Days at Ann Arbor

A gala reunion was held here to- day when the Tongass arrived in port this morning bringing as pas sengers Superior Court Judge James T. Lawler of Seattle and Mrs. Law Ter on their first visit to Alaska. Many "Jims9 and Bills" echoed on the early morning air as District Attorney William A. Holzheimer stood on the dock to greet his friend of many years standing, Judge Law Ter.
 Back in 1893. Bill Holzheimer and Jim" Lawler were graduated in the law class from the Univer- sity of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and incidentally, Judge Lawler recalled, were among the few Democrats the class boasted. They are still sound Democrats, but as both Judges face tious1y remarked, we've got a lot bigger crowd with us now"
 Following the years together at school, Judge Holzheimer a n d Judge Lawler both took up the prac- tice of law in Seattle where they were associated in the legal fra ternity for years; and, incidentally, associated in things Democratic. Among the active Democrats around Seattle in those days was young chap named John w. Troy. who to- day is Governor of Alaska. Today the trio of Democratic warriors had an interesting session in the Gov ernor's office recalling those days of yore down on the Sound.
 Later the two Ann Arbors of '98 got to recalling what had become of some of their old classmates. It wasn't difficult to remember many of them For example in that class was Cornelius J. Con Kelly, multi millionaire President of the Amal- gamated Mining Company; Edmund Burke. former Attorney General of the state of Illinois; Mrs. Mary Ab- bolt, first woman prosecuting attor- ney in the state of Michigan and now a leading attorney in Detroit; former Gov. Fred Green of Michi- gan and a lot of others.
 Yes. it was a gala occasion with the old classmates got together. Only bad part, both agreed, was that Judge and Mrs. Lawler are continuing on board the Tongass to Skagway and thence return to Se- attle where duty calls the Judge

Building Code
 Causes Heated
 Words at Council
Ouist Asks Amendment to Ordinance, Warrack
 Opposes Move

Discussion of proposed changes in the building code brought large audience to the special meeting of the City Council last night in the City Hall and, after arguing about the relative merits of plaster and plaster board, the Council put of action until tomorrow night when a regular meeting of the body js scheduled. It did. however, author ize Mayor Harry l. Lucas to select a committee to make a study of the building code and offer recommen- dations. such committee to be con- posed of a carpenter, plumber con- tractor. architect. the City Engineer. an electrician, plasterer, steamfit- ter and sheet metal worker. The Mayor said he expected to have his committee selections made in time for the Council meeting tomorrow night.
 Last nights discussions centered around the request of A. W. Quist, contractor for the new Baranof Hotel for an amendment to the building code to permit him to use plaster beard instead of plaster on inside walls of the hotel. The code provides for plaster and he asked the addition of the three words and plaster board"
 Members of the Baranof corpora ton were present to support the contractor and the opposing faction v,as led by J B. Warrack of the Gastineau Hotel and also a contrac- tor. At one time the darts became so pointed that Mayor Lucas was com pelled to warn the speakers that it was the building code which was under discussion and not personali- ties.
 For more than an hour the debate waxed warm, the Council finally deciding to put the matter over un- til tomorrow night at the regular Council session.
