Thousands OF Americans are ready
to climb into covered wagons and head
for the frontier.
But unsettled land Is getting scarce,
and few Of the wistful citizens are
destined to become colonists.
Ever since the Government moved
200 families from the Middle West
to the Matanuska Valley in Alaska it
has received $50 letters a week from
persons who want to pull stakes and
join the colonists Most OF the 5000
applicants said they were down on
their luck and wanted a chance to
start over, but some of them declared
they had a little money to spend In
getting home in the colony.
When the Government announced
1t was going to colonize the tiny
Islands OF Canton and Enderbury in
the Pacific 300 persons volunteered to
go. None went. since ii Hawaiians
already had been put on the tropical
atolls-all the inhabitants there was
room for
All Excellent Cooks.
A couple OF years ago the Interior
Department made a passing remark
in q report on Alaska that there were
two and one-half men for every
woman This started a rush OF mail
from 400 women, all claiming they
were excellent cooks, charming COM
panions and admirers of Alaska
The Farm Security Administration
receives thousands Of letters a year
from citizens who want to make their
homes in some resettlement COM
munity back in the hills.
The Reclamation Service receives
10000 inquiries annually about its
newley irrigated deserts land. yet it
can provide only about 400 new farm
units year.
Frontier opportunities for modern
Americans can't meet the demand.
Matanuska won't accept any more
colonists until those who are there
begin to pay back their debt to the
government, which averages $4,000
each. The settlers must clear most
Of their land before they can raise
enough to do this, and the w. P. A.
officials don't think they will be able
to until 1910. Then. the payments
will be put in fund to finance new
colonists.
Farms Taken Quickly.
The Farm Security Administrati ton
has not started any new resettlement
projects in a year. and it has no plans
for any more. Its communities were
all established to provide homes and
opportunity for specific groups
farmers from submargnal lands;
miners from exhausted coal regions,
or inhabitants of land turned into ma
tional parks.
The 400 farms which the Reclama-
ton Service makes available each
year are taken up quickly. War vet
Grams have a choice of the land for
80 days after it Is opened up, then
Others may bid for it. Homesteaders
are charged about 81 per acre for
homestead rights, and given 40 years
without any interest charges in which
to make the payments
The service now has 40 projects
comprising 5000, 900 acres of irrigated
land. On this 250,O0O persons are
living.
The reclamation colonies don't an
pear too permanent. The F. S. A. re-

tion Service settlement which was es-

Hunt D. c. S First
In Top Net 10

Gil Hunts selection as the
ninth ranking tennis player of
the country makes him the first
District racketer in history to
crash the first 10 of the U. S. L.
T. AS annual ratings.
Not even Connie Doyle, great
as he was, ever was placed with
in the top 10, although there are
many who think that he might
have been the national cham
pion had he possessed the time
to play regularly. 1t was lack
of tourney play that kept him
from the select group.
Hunts advancement to the
No. 9 spot has been slow but con-
sistent. He has No. % on the
national list for 1884 and last
year was No. 10. He also is
paired with Ernie Sutter as the
ninth nationally ranking doubles
team.
However. Connie and Rol Doyle
were the runnersup for the ma
tional doubles title in 1911, los
ing flve-set match in the
championship round to Raymond
Little and Gustav Touchard.
The Doyles apparently had the
crown won when Rol was at

Boys Club Bans Boxing.
Earlier in the year the Boys Club
of Washington withdrew from open
competition in boxing for boys un-

required causes emotional upsets,
and because, under newly adopted
collegiate rules, it might deprive
boys who have fought as amateurs
from obtaining college scholarships
College rules now forbid those who
have fought independently as anna
teurs to engage in collegiate bouts.
In poll taken among members
OF the Boys Club of Washington it
was revealed boxing was the most

gram.
