Arrangements had been made pre- yiously with the Yukon river steam CT to pick up the party at the point where the white river flows into the Stewart, but the hunters failed to keep the appointment. Seven hours after they started down river on the morning of October 1st, their craft was swept into log jam at a little island in the river and cap sized. The grub box, blankets, one tent and IT trophies were saved be- fore the boat sank. The river was running a good deal of ice but Bones the next morning crossed the stream and made his way to where the camp of another group of big game hunters had been observed by the men on the scow as they had poled down the river the previous night.
 Bones arrived just as the horses were saddled and everything in readiness for the party to leave camp homeward bound. They came down the river, took Mir Snyder's party off the island and on tC Whitehorse where they arrived on October 18th just as the Mounted Police, fearing they were in trouble being so long overdue and not hay ing connected with the Yukon steamer, were starting out to search for them.

Snyder, never lost his interest in the north and last fall when ht read an article in the Alaska Sports man written by man who had just made the Stikine river trip, he i'm i mediately planned to take advan take of such a trip, where he could penetrate wilderness country il comfort and renew acquaintance 1 with the Northland without tht strenuous experiences usually en tailed

Mellon Party After Dall Sheep
 Group For Museum

This is the second time Mellon and Waters have hunted i'll the Kluane Lake country. They were in that country in 1885. and had extremely fine luck" This time they are taking Mrs. Mellon along and taxidermist Rockwell.
 Mrs. Mellon was with her hus- band last summer in a Southeast Alaska hunt when she shot brown ie and goats. She weighs only in the vicinity of 122 pounds, is a trim and attractive brunette, and shoots the heavy 30-'06.
 She's done lot of hunting with me in Canada and the States" Mel lon said, and added proudly. She's a darn good shot"
 Rockwell, taxidermist, has been working for the past ten years mod cling animals for the African animal exhibits in Akeley African Hall of the museum. The Dall group, he ex- plained, will be part of renovated North American Hall.
 "They will probably be the finest Dall sheep in any museum" Rock we'll said. We sent artists and taxi dermists into the field with the hunters to get as. close a reproduc- tion of the original animal as we can"
 Rockwell said George Mason, arr tist, will come north in September to paint landscapes in the Kenai and Mt. Mckinley areas, the latter probably being the background area for the Dali slEsep-

General Land Office
 Officials Visit Alaska

George A Parks, cadastral en- gineer of the General Land Office, with headquarters at Juneau, Joel D. Wolfsohn, assistant to the com missioner, General Land Office and T. C. Hayell, technical advisor, of Washington, D. C.. were aboard the Alaska Wednesday, They visited Wrangell Institute in their interest in government projects where Di- rector George Barrett was found in dungarees busily yielding a paint brush along with his crew of h. dian youths who are getting the h. stitute buildings in readiness for the coming school term.
 Mr. Barrett showed the visitors about, explained the schools ob- jectiyes, vocational and otherwise and then brought them back to town for a tour of Wrangell gar dens.
 The Washington men came north three weeks ago, joining Mr. Parks at Juneau. They went into Fair banks by way of the railroad and returned to the coast by Richardson Highway to Valdez. The party in spected various areas in the Interior where surveys have been made and projected surveys are to be carried out.

BARNES FAVORS TRAP TAX CREATE
 FUND BUILD BETTER FISHING BOATS

'because the ownership privilege comes from Washington. D. c. and is not controlled in the Territory. As good American citizens. we AL askans must arrive at some plan whereby Alaska seiners can com pete with the fish traps and the small salmon cannery operators be enabled to work on a fair compet- tive basis with the large corpora tions.
 Tt is not my idea" he continued. "to start a tax of fish traps that would put the independent trap op= orator out of business and if am elected and have the privilege Of introducing a bill. I shall have the thought in mind that the indepen- dent trap owner, in particular, will be allowed to catch sufficient fish to pay for his investment with a minimum of tax"
 Opportunity For Seiner
 Mr Barnes believes that such measure would give the Alaska seiner a wonderful opportunity to increase his earning power and would encourage many people to es- tablish residence in Alaska and make their homes here.
 "If it is possible" MT. Barnes de- clared. T will sponsor or support any bill which is presented to elim- mate non resident fishermen from the Territory. I believe that this proposition can be worked out on a good sound and sensible basis and provision made for a forward-laok- ing program over a period of years which will insure maximum bene- fits for Alaska residents"
 As stated before, Mr Barnes has spent thirty years in southeastern Alaska. deyoting the greater part of his time to the fishing business. Alaska has such a great fascination for him that he does not expect ever to give up his residence in the Ter ritory He believes that times are changing very fast and that now isI the time when Alaskans should take every means available to build upI a population by assisting people toI make living in the Territory.

High on the bald mountain rang es flanking the valley of the Don- jec River in the Kluane Lake coun- try, the proud Dall mountain sheep feed on the sparse grasses of high altitude, and with those magnificent game animals so near at hand, Richard K. Mellon doesn't want to comment on business, reports the Juneau Empire.
 I'm on a vacation," Mellon said.
 Mellon, nephew of the late An drew Mellon, arrived in Juneau last week on the Prince Rupert with his wife, Robert S. Waters, president of the National Radiator Corporation, and taxidermist Robert H. Rock well of the American Museum of Natural History.
 On last Friday morning the party was to be flown by Pacific Alaska Airways (Mellon is director oi Pan American) to Burwash Landing on Lake Kluane, where the party will base for their hunt.
 Seeking four rams ana eve to complete Dall mountain sheer group for the new North American Hall of the American Museum oi Natural History, Mellon's party will go with guides and packhorses for fifty miles to the area near DonjeB Glacier at the head of the river oi that name.

Civic Club Membership
 Is Steadily Increasing

Bowls of flowers, sweet peas pre- dominating, lent color to the ar engagements for the Civic Club luncheon last Saturday. Hostesses were Mrs. Garry and Mrs Hunger ford and the attendance totaled twenty-nine.
 A very enjoyable musical program took place immediately following the luncheon. A piano duet, Dark Eyes, played by Dorisanne Barnes and Eleanor Mitchell, was the open ing number after which James Mo- Ian, nephew of Mrs. Hale, sang Rose Marie and How Deep is The Ocean, accompanied by Dorisanne Barnes. The two girls closed the program with another duet, a medley from Snow White.
 Following the routine business. a report of the activities of the Ketch- ikan women's club was read by Mrs. Bjorge and Mrs. Anderson presented brief reports of various clubs in the states as given in recent issue of the G. F. W. c. Clubwoman.
 The publication of a book of fa- yorite Wrangell recipes was given up for the present owing to the cost involved. Reports of prominent yis- itors met since the last meeting in- cluding the Gold Diggers' Cruise under the leadership of Miss Lulu Fairbanks and the All-Gardeners' Cruise were made by the greeting committees. Various civic enterpris- es suggested by both men and wom- en during the past month as pro- jects for the club were discussed.
 By special request of the Beyier Playground Endowment Committee which consists of the Mayor, the president of the schoolboard and the president of the Civic Club, a vote was taken concerning the use to which the money received for the former playshed might be put. Some valuable suggestions were received, the group unanimously fayoring the present school grounds as the place where the money should be put to work.
 A special committee consisting of Mrs Carruthers and Mrs. Pritchett to work with the club president was appointed to consider another pos sible project and to report at the next meeting.
 Several new members were admit ted Saturday and the Wrangell Club is gradually becoming one of the largest in the Territory The mem bership committee for the present club year consists of Mrs. Hale, Mrs Mason, Mrs. Brodhead and Miss Breen. It was decided to honor the teachers of both the Wrangell pub lie school and the Wrangell Insti. tute at the September meeting, the hostesses to be Mrs. Pederson, Mrs Mundy and Mrs. Geo. Green, with Mrs. Brodhead to notify the hon. ] 0rees.

SKINS RESERVES
AMAZE F[AHERTy
Subs Line Almost on Par
With Regulars, Game at
Louisville Reveals.
BY RAY FLAHERTY,

Coach, Champion Washington Redskins.
Well, I know something today I
didn't know before yesterday, and
that is, If we ever have to protect a
lead, we've got two lines which can
do it equally we'll That reserve
group of Bob Masterson. Hal Bradley,
Wee Willie Wilkin, Chuck Bond, Hank
Bartos, Roy Young. Glenn Stralka
and Mickey Parks showed me yester-
day that they're about as good a de-
fensive unit as our regular forward
wall.
They held the Louisville Tanks
offensive in check as well as Turk
Edwards and his cohorts did. Few
opposing teams will want to drive
play through the 247-pound Wilkin,
and when they aim at guys like Roy
Young or Bartos they'll find those
young men just as tough to pass.
Offensively, these reserve linemen-
all but Bond are rookies-haven't yet
got the charge Of the first stringers
and no one of them opens those holes
like Turk. That's one reason why
We weren't able to score in the first
quarter yesterday.
We should have run up a bigger
score against the Tanks, for while
they are champions of the American
Football League they're a couple of
classes away from us. But naturally
the Redskins didn't care about over
exerting themselves, though I will say
that the scraps they permitted them
selves to be drawn into showed tina.
they had plenty of spirit.
Our tackling started out to be pref
ty good, but with that l8-point lead
the boys grew careless in the second
half; then, too, We tried few new
plays which we'd never run in a
game before and they weren't any
bowling successes, but we did get a
better look at some of our new men
and I'll repeat we've come up with
one of the best rookie crops in the
league.
Bill Hartman continues to impress
as a mighty sweet passer. He also
proved himself alert on that second
touchdown play when he picked up
that bad pass from center, ran back
few steps and threw one right into
Millner's hands in the end zone.
Andy Farkas was the same shifty
runner Washington fans saw him to
be at Griffith Stadium. His pep, !
think, has become contagious on the
whole squad.

Louisville may be synonymous with
Kentucky Derby to most people, but
to the Washington Redskins it's just
good city to be home from. True
their first victory in three exhibition
games this season was scored there
yesterday when your champs made

tune of 1870 but don't let the men
ton of football game mislead you.
We wouldn't go so far as to describe
what we saw as free-for-all, but
for the better part of the second hall
and nearly all during the fourth
quarter there was more fighting than
football. At that you might have
been proud of your Redskins had you
seen how capable they were in the
manly art Of self-defense. But as long
as they're not being paid for fighting
they'd prefer playing football.

right, but methinks they were a little
annoyed that their look at the Singer
was confined to something like seven
plays.
1t is pleasant to report, however
that Coach Flaherty had the inter-
ests of the Washington fans more al
heart than he did those of Louisville
and after presenting Baugh-the fea-
ture attraction-for something less
than five minutes of the second quar-
ter, confined his activities to auto

proved his versatility by playing

old Notre Dame star took a 15-yard

and few minutes later shook himself
loose in the end zone to take one of
Hartmans about-to- copyrighted

Interceptions gave the Tanks their
only scoring chance, but at that they
never penetrated the Indians l8-yard

The funniest phases OF the game
were created by Turk Edwards. He
forever was quibbling with the officials
on minor points and once raised a
storm because an intentional short
kickoff which he tried to claim car
ried more than 10 yards and therefore
was an onside kick belonged to the
Redskins, who recovered it. If he was

Dempsey Not Responsible
For Bunnina Wills Notch.

The first authentic color line was
drawn by John L. Sullivan, with
Peter Jackson, the brilliant West
Indian, as the party Of the second
part. Before that time good colored
fighters were few and far between
and past champions had not scrupled
to mingle with them for cash money.
Tom Cribb, the champion of England,
met Tom MolineauX, the Virginia
slave, three times. The first fight was
close until Molineaux knocked him.
self out on one of the ring posts.
This seems to have had a softening
influence on the remainder of his
life. They found him dead in a bar
racks in Ireland few years after
ward.
Sullivan drew the color line, and so,
30 years later, did Jack Dempsey,
through no wish of his own. Mr.. Demp-
sey had no personal interest in draw
ing the line against Harry Wills,
since Wills constituted as soft a touch
as any one in Mr.. Dempsey's baili-
wick.
There is a certain amount of JUS
tice on Joe Louis side when he draws
the light brown VS.. dark brown line
against Roscoe Toles. After all, he
did fight an exhibition with Toles
in 1885, and knocked Roscoe out in
the sixth round. The fact remains
that he worked with far greater ef-
feet upon Max Baer, against whom
he draws no line whatsoever.
Toles, like Louis, has improved
greatly in the last three years. He
is much more deserving fighter than
Baer or Thomas Farr or Gunnar Bar
lund or Lou Nova.
