 SITE NEAR SKAGWAY

JUNEAU = A 50-year lease on approximately $50 acres of patented land in the Dyea valley, near Skag- way, has been recorded in the U. S. Commissioners office at Skagway, according to reports reaching here.
 It was said that the lease is be- tween Phillip R. Pullen and A. H. Ziegler of Ketchikan.
 The report also stated that while n recent trip to Skagway, Zieg- Ter negotiated for and acquired a tract of land on the waterfront for an office building and headquarters site for the principal whom he re- presents.

 Recent press reports stated that the Aluminium Company of America was interested in a gigantic water development project in that area for production of aluminium. Ziegler, Ketchikan attorney who was repre- sentative of ALCOA in the Edna Bay area some time ago, declined to name the client for which he is acting in the Skagway area. He said his client would make such an- nouncements of interest at the pro- per times.

TREMBLE BURIED HERE
 WEDNESDAY MORNING

Thomas Tremble. we'll known Stikine homesteader, was buried here Wednesday morning after a simple service with the Rev. Hugh Hall officiating He is survived by brother Robert, and a sister in the states.
 Tremble's death was reported by neighbor, William Harto, who found him shot to death on Febru- ary 23, but due to lack of trans portation from the flats, word did not reach the Deputy Marshal here until February 2S. A search party was sent out to Trembles place but dicided not to bring in the body until a coroner's jury had deter mined the manner of death.
 Last Sunday evening the coron- CTS jury, accompanied by Deputy Marshal Jack Krepps, U. S. Commits sioner R. J. Suratt and Assistant District Attorney Ernie Bailey, went up to Stikine Flats and Mon day brought the body to Wrangell. The jury placed the death as sui eide, determining that Tremble had put a 30-30 carbine in his mouth and shot himself.

 WINTER RIVER TRAGEDY

A searching party headed by LeI Ellis, local big game guide, and U. s. Deputy Marshal Jack Krepps, re- turned to Wrangell last Friday ev- ening with the body of Mrs Harry Harto which they found on the beach of sokolof Island.
 The search was started for MT. and Mrs. Harry Harto after they had been reported missing since January 31, when they left their Stikine Flats homestead for Wran- gell for supplies. Their disappear ance was reported here February 2S by a brother, William Harto, Jr., who said they had apparently bor- rowed a canoe from the Gut Island duck house to make the trip as their own boat was frozen in the ice.
 Mrs. Harto, the former Lois Bux- ton of Metlakatla, was identified Tuesday by her father-in-law, Wm. Harto and by former classmate at Wrangell Institute, Evelyn Dude.
 Louis Buxton, her father, took the body to Metlakatla on his boat Wednesday where she will be bur jed.

Redskins Are Seeking
To Replace Disabled
Ends for Rams Tilt

With Ed Berrang definitely lost
. for Sundays closing game with
the Rams at Los Angeles, and Jim
PEBBLES still on the doubtful list,
Coach Herman Ball Of the Red
skins today was scratching around
for requirements at the ends.
Examination of PEBBLES ailing
shoulder yesterday disclosed no
separation as feared, but a severe
bruise. A decision whether he'll
fly to the West Coast with the
SQUAD tomorrow will be made to-
day after another trip to the doc
tor.
"Our backfield. with the excep-
ton OF Pete Stout, is in the best
shape it's been in since we played
the Rams in the first exhibition
game" said Ball, "but our line is
in bad shape. The boys will have
to work overtime in the line If
they expect to win this one."
Herman and Wilbur Moore yes
terday looked over scouting re-
port on the Rams forwarded by
Turk Edwards and had their
worst fears confirmed, meaning
Tom Fears, the National Leagues S
leading pass catcher who is on
the receiving end of most of Bob
Waterield's pitches. The COM
bination might prove to be the
Skins undoing unless they repeat
last Sundays spectacular de-
fensive play.
"But if we concentrate on Fears,
Ball explained, they might shoot
v. T. Smith, Fred Gehrke or Jerry
Williams around the ends and If
any one of them got into the open
1t would be bad news"
Protecting the corners, where
Stout was a valuable asset be-
cause of his speed, is one OF Balls
biggest problems. He remembers
that Clark Shaughnessy empha-
sized the Importance Of putting
small scatbacks in motion and
giving them either pitchouts or
throwing direct passes to them If
they found they could get into
the clear. The Ram coach still is
practicing that theory, according
to Edwards report. and Ball Is
sure his line hackers have enough
speed to cover them.
CLARK always puts a fast man
against your slowest man." he
said, so we've got to figure a way
Of stopping him."
John Henry Hollar, the fullback
who recently returned after doing
service with Detroit Lions, will
help Ed Quirk with the fullback-
ing chores on ohense and will spell
AL Demao on defense. Hollar is q
key figure in Balls defensive plans
because Of his ruggedness and
ability to move quickly.

Bowie and PimIico
Set Dates for 1850
Spring, Fall Meets
By the Assoeiotsd Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. Bowie
and Pimlico again will split their
allotment of racing dates into
spring and fall meets next year,
with Bowie opening the spring
season with a 12-day meet from
March rs through April 7.
A plan was afoot to have all
four Maryland major tracks run
continuous 25-day meetings, but
the idea was dropped at a meet
ing of the Maryland Racing Com
mission yesterday. The commits
sion, however, decided in favor Of
the plan for Havre de Grace,
which will follow Bowie on April
8 and run through May 6. Pim-
lico will wind up the spring sea-
son, running from May 8 through
May 20.
Laurel will open the fall sched-
ule on October 3 and continue
through October 81. Pimlico will
operate 13 days from November 2
to November 16. and Bowie will
wind up the year with 13 days
from November 18 through De-
eember 2.
The dates assigned to Pimlico
raise the possibility that again
there may be two-week span
between the Kentucky Derby at
Louisville and the Preakness in
Baltimore.
For many years there was only
a week between the first two
events in racing's triple Crown"
series for 3-year-olds. In 1948
Pimlico scheduled the Preakness
two weeks after the Derby and
horsemen generally like the idea.
But last year Pimlico had to
return to the one-week interval
because a rejuggling Of racing
dates ended its spring meeting a
week after the Churchill Downs
classic, which is always on the first
Saturday in May.

Marian Anderson Tells
Of Throat Surgery in

by the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Singer
Marian Anderson underwent a deli
cate throat operation last June
and for while wondered if she
ever would sing again. She now
knows her voice was undamaged.
The story was revealed in the New
York Herald Tribune today.
The Negro contralto told Helen
Worden of the Herald Tribune that
the operation involved removal of
cyst from the esophagus.
Miss Anderson said she suffered
q sore throat after a tour of the
West Indies in the spring of 1947.
She said she was operated on in
Jewish Hospital, Brooklyn, on June
30, 1948.
"a cyst was removed from the
food pipe near the base of my lungs
top of solar plexus. I guess you
call it," she said. The operation
was very intricate and had to be
performed through my back"
Following a summer rest at her
country home in Danbury, Conn.,,
she had her accompanist, Franz
Rupp, listen to her first song after
the operation.
Miss Anderson said she sang
French song she never had done
before. "I sang it straight through
from beginning to end without the
slightest difficulty" she said. After
that, I wasn't afraid
Monday night she appeared as
