KIOndike Kate's
 Will Is Not Likely To Be Contested

VANCOUVER, R = The will of 'Klondike Kate," to be ''pro- bated" at the Klondike Sour dough's annual banquet here Saturday is not likely to be con- tested.
 The dance hall queen of Yukon gold rush days died Feb. Fl in Sweet Home, Ore, at the age of TT.
 Copies of her "wilP' are to be distributed among the nearly 200 Sourdoughs expected from the Yukon, the northwest U. s. and British Columbia.
 The will is a poem reported to be Klondike Kate's last teSta- ment to the north. It was written Is years ago when doctors thought she was dying and had since been in the keeping of Lulu Fairbanks, secretary of the Sourdoughs.
 Miss Fairbanks sent it to Van couver when Kate, Mrs. w. L. Van Buren, died last mnoth.
 It reads:
 MY WILL And all that I can leave you Are memories of the Past. The dreams we dreamed together That were too sweet to last. To the tired and weary-hearted Burdened down with all life's ills I leave the sunrise on the desert And the twilight on the hills. To the lonely and the old folks Many walks down memory lane Hand in hand like childhood
 sWetheartS
 May we wander once again. To the boys and girls who told me When their foolish feet had
 strayed
 I can leave at least the knowledge That they never were betrayed. To the ones who bandied gossip, Tore my heart with tWo-edged
 swords
 I leave my full forgiveness To combat the bitter words. To the friends who were so
 faithful
 Through my laughter and my
 tears
 I leave peace and contentneSs For their declining years.

Three weeks hence. after hop
Scotching Florida to play %

clubs, the Senators should pre-
sent a rather clear view of what

They'll still have IL games
remaining after finishing the
Florida portion of their exhibi-
ton schedule. but by that time
the Senators undoubtedly will
be aware of whether their pitch
ing figures to improve. whether
they'll be tighter defensively
and who. if anybody, is going
to bolster their attack.
Starting today, when they
clash with Kansas City. the
Senators will be busy. They
play nine games in as many
days, take a day of. then plunge
into 10 games in a row. They'll

heading home. but then will

before opening the season with
Baltimore April IS.
Little EXPERIMENTATION
Manager Chuck Dresser has
indicated there will be little ex-
Fermentation. Many of the fig
Hres on his squad are familiar
as previous failures and have
eliminated themselves even be-
fore games get under way.
Dresser wants to learn. and
learn quickly. if such pitchers as
Bob Wiesler and Dean Stone
benefited by steady employment

if a bone chip in Ted Abernathy's
right elbow is going to kick up

They'll be meeting five of their
