son, Jay Perry, E. j. Brand ard
Charles L. Powell.
A new type of football will be
played by the local high school
team this year, according to Don
T. Coates, the new coach. Because
of losing so many of last years
team by graduation, fast, open
type of play will be adopted for
the lighter team. Kennewick's
new coach comes here from Illinois
where he had three years coach
ing experience.
Stealing watermelons is getting
to be an exciting as well as haz-
ardous sport in this vicinity. Sew
eral parties have been fired uDon,
some with rock salt and some with
buckshot. Most of the parties are
outside the patches when fired
upon. Two boys stopped to look at
soft tire on the highway and
drew a volley from a nervous
farmer. Many of the growers are
sleeing in their patches with guns
TWENTY YEARS AGO
Harry Hughes of Hover filed for
the third commissioner district.

the United States Bureau of Rec
lamation and will work In Mon
tana.

this year. Mr.. Hodge is unable to
tell whether three or four primary
teachers will be needed, because
| it is impossible to estimate within
rs or so, the number of pupils that
will show up the first day.

in his office with all the cor
dial Misunderstanding aplomb of
the politician, mien which he
has acquired during many years
of R pub lica n ote-getting

Gov. Dwight Green.
Hodgin, who looks like mild
caricature of Harry Truman,
nervously toyed with papers
and pencils on his desk, as 1
asked questions about his adj
ministration of st. Charles.
With a polite little grimace,
intended to serve as a friendly
smile, Hodgin told me in con-
fidential tones that ''those
stories in the newspapers about
st. Charles) obviously aren't
true" If they were true, Hold
gin added, 'we'd have more eS-
capes than we do The boys
just wouldn't stay here"
THEM in a manner which l
later learned is characteristic of
the man, he neatly "stuck his
foot in his mouth" when he
said:
Wen always have escapes
from here But we've had
less than 20 escapes in the last
six months OF course. to-
night we may have more than
that This is the most un-
practicable place"
A personally autographed
portrait of the Illinois National
Guards Brig. Gen. Cassius
Poust, on one wall of Hodgin's
office, reminded me of how

repairman, had obtained his
post at st. Charles.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! INTRODUCING
 FIRST GREAT EVENT OF sTIKINE STAMPEDE

l week from Saturday night, on April 3, in the school gymnasium, the classic of all basketball clas- sics will be played between the Stikine Stampeders and the Wran- gell Pioneer All-Stars.
 In the history of Wrangell there probably has never been anything like it. This week plans were go- ing forward for reinforcing the gym. Referee Bill Grant was pol ishing up his six-shooter and Dr. Bangeman was whetting up his patch-em-up tools. There was even some talk of throwing up a quick wing on the hospital to take care of the casualties.
 Wrangell Elks Lodge, 1895, made up of sturdy fellows, reckless with life and limb, are sponsoring the big game, but neWly-elected Exalted Ruler Al 'RiYerboat Ritchie has warned that a foul will be called on anybody who kicks the referee before he's down. If he's down it won't make any difference anyway" opined "Riv erboat," who declared he would have a husky bodyguard on hand to see that justice is done" Said he, as he hit the spitOOn dead cen ter at 15 feet eight inches: "I fig ure a bodyguard for the referee for every player" He added that beard-pulling would be counted as a foul but if one player became lost in another's beard time would be called until the lost player was eXtricated.
 There was expected to be some controversy on the question of so many body guards for one referee Manager-C Coach Harry "Freeze-em' Coulter of the All-Stars and Rol- and "Two-Gun" Schwartz, Manag- CT of the Stampeders, were mutter- ing in their new-blown foliage, they can't do that to our boys; we'll show 'em for whiskey or money"
 Approached on the contrOVers, Stampede Chairman Thor "Blec- tric" Hofstad declared Were not expecting any shOotings before the game but after the referee blows the whistle it'll be every man for himself and let the broken bones fall where they may. I've asked "Gold Star" Chief MacCreary to polish up his jail but think the boys will be reasonable - there ain't no use of any unnecessary killin's, I think she'll work out The camps fairly quiet; ain't had much trouble since they hung that Pats Creek dutchman last Friday" "
 Both Managers reported their teams in excellent shape. TWO
