BERT BAKERS
OUT TO BEAT
CANADIAN SIX

In lis first year Of competition
The Bert Baker hockey team has
achieved a record uneAcelled by
very few teams in Detroit. especi-
ally when II Is remembered that
most OF their games were against
Canadian born boys, most OF whom
are natural hockey players.
When the Bert Baker team was
organized at the beginning OF the
season, the members and the back
er thought. and firmly believed.
that they would be world meat
ers"
But there was something miss
ing. In the. first six games the sex
let was victorious in only one con.
test They lacked the drive and
hghting spark TO win.
But. az Lester Patrick, manager
OF the New York Rangers. 2 says
Good luck will come II you wait
long enough and keep trying hard. y
Tom Falbo. assistant sales manag-
er al Bert Bakers. took over the
team. added new player or two
and put vim, yigor and spirit IN
the team.
Since Falbo took the big interest
in working with the really excel
lent material In the team. they
have yet 10 taste defeat. winning
eight games in a row. and still go
ing strong. The team has high
hopes OF winning the championship
from the Canadians across the
river at the end OF the play-off
season.

New Type Dredge Will Be Tried
 In Alaska
Inventor Hopes to Operate Devices Successfully Near Juneau Next Year.

SAN FRANCISCO, R- John Williams said he expects to have a 5000 ton ship equipped with 20 dredges digging at the bottom of Stephens passage near Juneau next spring. Williams, inventor of a deep sea dredge, tried out in Monterey bay recently, his buc- ket dredge which brought up g. tons of material from a depth of $40 feet.
 Although reticent about financ- ing plans, Williams said he in tends to buy a government ship for his plan of operating ten of the dredges along the coast. He also wants to have ten spare dredges. He believes his machln- es could lift 5000 yards of gravel a day in depths varying up to lUUU leel.
 Navy, university and industrial experts watched his tests in Mon- terey Bay without criticism.
 Williams explained his static power device works by letting push a piston, a single stroke of which closes the jaws of the dre- dge bucket. The water pressure is kept off the piston head until the dredge hits bottom, then is let in automatically into the pis- ton rod. a sealed cylinder by a device of rings which are greas- ed and automatically balance the water pressure.

NEW LOCOMOTIVE

A l00-ton Baldwin locomotive built expressly for the WhitePass and Yukon Route arrived recent ly at Seattle from the east coast for shipment to SkagWay, Alaska, as part of the unusual cargo that is going north aboard a freighter destined for Yukon river ports.
 A 32-ton wheel lathe for the White Pass and Yukon shops at SkagWay is also part of the ship ment, as well as a 200-ton pom toon gold dredge, property of Walter Johnson, San Francisco mining man, who plans extensive operations this season.
 C. J. Rogers, vice president of the White Pass and Yukon Rail road, said the locomotive is a new departure for the company and if it provides performances as expected, others will be order ed.

Four motor driven Oomiaks brought the balance of the King Island Eskimos and Father La Fortune, who spent the winter on the island, to Nome. The party landed on the beach at the East End of town about g pm. Tues day evening. The cutter North land brought over a number of the King Islanders who were un- able to stand the rigors of the open boat trip, when it transport ed the Hubbard Expedition to Nome
 Father LaFortune reported that the natives had a good winter, with excellent hunting. He also said that the work of the Hub bard Arctic Expedition had been very beneficial to his people, and that King Island would welcome another visit from them. He stressed the good effects of the course of gymnastics given by Messrs. Ed. Levin and Ken Chis- holm, and said that such exercise will be an important activity in the future, as the older boys have been taught to give the same kind of training to the younger gen. eration.

Big plans are afoot for Nome's Fourth of July celebration. The Odd Fellows dance, Saturday, July 2, opens the festivities. The days program includes literary exercises at the school building, Monday July 4th. Ica cream for the children, races, wrestling and boxing matches, Eskimo sports, and, last but not least, the base ball game between the Cutter NortN lands team and the Alas kans of Nome, champions of Nor thWestern Alaska.
 High spot of the morning pro- gram of patriotic songs, readings, etc, is a talk by Father Bernard Hubbard, of the Hubbard Arctic Expedition, which recently re- turned fr m winter on King Is- land
 It seems that the Eskimo boys on King Island must have spent part of the winter arguing, and the main topic of ontroversy was whether Ed. Le ,In or Ken Chisholm was the best boxing trainers. We are happy to an nounce that this feud will be set tled-for one of the special at fractions of the sports events will be two boxing matches between King Island Eskimos, trained dur ing the winter by Messrs. Levin and Chisholm.
 Another novel feature, says the sports committee, will be wrestl ing match between Power House O'Mara and Bulldozer Wurinen.
 The Council executive commit tees for the entertainment con- sists of Emerson Bassett, finances; Alvin Polet, literary program; Leonard Krohlow, sports; Edw. Anderson, refreshments; and Geo rge Madsen, decorations.

City Council Has Busy Session On
 Various Topics

The meeting of the City Coun- cil was brought to order by May or Alvin Polet at 8 pm. Monday, June 27, with councilmen BaS- sett KrohloW, Madsen and Tag gart being present.
 The following communications were read before the council:
 The Lomen Commercial Co. re- quested permission to construct railroad track across First Ave nue near the companys ware house at the river, to facilitate handling Kougarok freight.
 Curtis Jacobs and Carl Lindell requested that a drain be built on First Avenue in the vicinity of their respective properties. A
 A note from Postmaster Gen. eral James Farley expressing his regrets at not being able to in- clude Nome in his itinerary this summer, was read.
 Councilman Bassett reported on the proposed repairs for the roof of the school building. He intro duced MT. Snellengberg, roofing expert, now engaged on the Fed eral Building, who had inspected the building. MT. SneLlengbor5 recommended tarring and grav-l- ing the portion of the roof still place, and relaying a new roof with the same material.
 Councilman Taggart reported oiling the principal streets dur ing the past week, stating that the work had been efficiently com pleted, at a reasonable cost.
 MT L. E. Rynning, representing the Lomen Commercial Company stated that the company would construct the approaches to the proposed railway crossing on lst avenue, at no expense to the city. Permission to go ahead with the construction was granted by the city council.
 The following applications for the position of engineer of the Fire Department were read: E. H Mahan, Al Fallman, Ted Brown James ". Smith, and Charley O'Leary. E. H, Mahan was ap- pointed to fill the position.
 Discussion of the traffic ordin- ance was deferred to the next meeting, as Councilman Taggart reported that the draft was not yet prepared.
 City Clerk Walsh told the city council that Ole Hay was plann- ing to build an addition to his residence on C street, which might encroach on the street. H" recommended that Mr. Hay be permitted to proceed with his present plans, as the street was sixty feet wide, and traffic was not extremely heavy. Councilmen Madsen and KrohlcW were ap- pointed to investigate and report to the council. MT Walsh urged immediate action, as MT Hay was anxious to begin building as soon as possible.
 Mir Robinson of Robinson and Greenberg, liquor dispensers, ap- peared before the Council to com plain of the rec ntly passed ordin- ance requiring retail liquor deal CTS to close at pm, while allow ing beer and wine dispensaries to remain open until am. Coun- cilman Taggart agreed that he coasid red this action of the coun cil unfair, and Territorial Liquor Inspector J. J. O'Leary also sug- gested that such a limitation was undue discrimination against the retail dealers. Mayor Polet sug gested that the matter be tabled until the next meeting, due to the absence of two members of the council.
 As there was no further buSi- ness, the meeting was adjourned.

said she was a silly little thing and
called her "fraidy" and said she would
run from her own shadow. Finally
they went on with their play, still
laughing at their timid little sister
until at last they forgot her altogether
in the fun they were having. Neither
did they give the old black stump an
