Moves To Exteud Federal
Highway Act To Alaska
highway act to alaska
Opening a prospect of a large
increase in the amount of mon
ey for road and trail im
provement in Alaska, Delegate
Sutherland has introduced a
bill in Congress providing for
a blanket extension to the Ter
ritory of the provisions of the
Federal Highway Act. The
measure is framed to secure
the extetnsijon twifehout {mod
ification either as to area or
requirements for co-operation.
The text of the measure, ex
clusive of the enactment clause
is as follows:
“That Section two of the Fed
eral Highway Act of November
9, 1921, as amended by the Act
of June 19, 1922 (Public num
bered 244), be and the same .is
hereby amended, effective
July 1, 1923, by adding thereto
the following: the term ‘the
State’ shall mean any state in
the United States of America
and the Territory of Alaska.’ ”
If the bill should pass as intro
duced Alaska would come in
for an allotment of the appro
priation passed by the last con
gress for the fiscal year 1923.

FOR THE
SPORT FANS
BOXING
It is now practically certain
that champion Jack Dempsey
will meet Tommy Gibbons, the
only man who ever stayed the
limit with him since he became
champion, in'a championship
13-round bout in New York
C>ty the last week in May.
Gibbons, meantime, will be
brought east and matched with
Gene Tunney and others to let
the cash customers see what he
can do, and to steam up inter
est in the proposed fight with
Dempsey. It is probable that
Dempsey will meet Firpo in
New York on July 4th and
take on Wills, negro contend
er in the same ring on Labor
Dayf according to the latest
dope in Fistiania.
Harry Greb successfully de
fended the world’s middle-.
weight title against Johnny
Wilson, of Boston, former title
holder, in a recent 15-round
bout in New York, receiving
the judge’s decision at the end
of the match.
Billy Miske, the light-heavy
weight boxe?- and one of the
leanest and gamest fighters
that ever entered the ring, died
in Minneapolis during the lat
ter days of last month after a
week of illness due to Bright's
disease. Miske was only kay
oed once during his ring car
eer and that by Jack Demp
sey.
Battling Siki, conqueror of
Carpentier, was beaten on
points in a 15-tround go with
Battling Owens at New Or
eans January 22.
Georges Carpentier has for- j
zaken the ring and is now a
racing automobile driver. He
is scheduled to appear on the
track at Lyons next spring in a j
new speed car known as the
Alpharomas. It is understood j
that the former boxer owns a
part of the company manufact
uring the machine.
Jack Johnson, former heavy
weight champion boxer, has
purchased a thirty-acre farm
near the town of Staatsburg, I
Duchess County, Ne'w York, j
which he intends to use as a
training quarters.
Frank Foster, boxing promot-1
er, and business men of Shreve
port Louisiana, are working on
a proposal for a bout in that
city between Tommy Gibbons,
American heavyweight box
er, and Jules Carpentier, the
j French heavyweight.
BASEBALL
; The Seattle Indians will have
i their spring training at San
Bernardino this year.
—
' The management of the New
York Giants has received the
signed contracts of catcher
Hank Gowdy. third baseman 1
Croh, infielder Maguire and
pitchers Guerin, Huntzinger
'and Stoner.
A review of the playing of the
big teams last season shows
the Cleveland Indians, as a
teams not only led the Amer
ican League in batting with an
average of 401, but were the
champion scoring machine,
drew the most bases on balls,
i md had the least number of
! ;trike-outs during the season.
1 The feats of Manager Tris
.Speaker and pitchers Uhle, and
Covelskie were among the most I
outstanding of the season.
Uhle won 26 games, more
than any other pitcher on the i
jcircuit, pitched to the most
batsmen, 1,393, and worked in
.29 complete games, another
S3asonal record. 'Coveleakie,
was the only American League
pitcher to allow less than three
earned runs to a game. His av
erage was 2.76.
Speaker led his team in hitting
with an average of.380 and set
a new world’s record by knock
ing out 59 two-base hits. Har
ry Heilmann and Babe Ruth
were the only two regulars to
exceed his batting mark but
the Cleveland leader drove in
more runs than his Detroit riv
al, and, playing two less gam
es, drove in just as many runs
as Ruth. Lutzke' proved one
of the sensations of the league
in his first season with the In- I
dians,, leading all third base- i
nen in covering ground. In 143
games he is credited with 358
assists, high above the recordj
set last year by Dyke of Phil-1
adelphia, He also had 186 ut
outs, 13 more than K^mm of
Chicago, who played six games
more. Kamm had six less as
sists to his credit. Cleveland j
batters drew 633 bases on balls
had 384 strike-outs, and made
j 1,594 hits, scoring 888 runs, 60
more than the champion Yank
ees, despite the latter’s 105
home runs.
HOW THE POLITICAL
POT IS BOILING
Attorney General John Rust
gard will be a candidate for
renomination, according to re
ports from Juneau during the
past week. Reports indicate,
however, that he will have ai
least one opponent and possibly
more. William D. Cogpernoll,
Seward ‘attorney and former
United States Commisioner at
McCarthy, has announced his
candidacy for the republican
nomination for the office.
Political gossip says Thomas
C. Price, former member of the
Territorial legislature, also
has his eyes on that office. Mr.
Price is a democrat but is con
sidered as certain to make a
hard race in the event that he
decides ot enter the contest.
Harry G. Steel, publisher oi
the Cordova Times and a wide
ly known resident of the Third
Division, has filed his candi;
cy for delegate to the Repub
lican convention.
The outlook for the return oi
Dan. Sutherland to the office
of Alaska delegate to Congress
appears tp be decidedly favor
able. It is the general view of
the political forecasters that
Mr. Sutherland.will go into the
April primaries for renom
ination without opposition. Re
ports fronuthe several territor
ial divisions have developed
candidates for other positions
but up to the present no one
has appeared as a candidate
for his position.
Mr. Sutherland is serving his
second term in Congress. He
was elected for the first time
at the general election of Nov
ember 2, 1920 by a large maj
ority over his democratic op
ponent.
In response to a call of the
Democratic Central Committe
for the First Division, the Dem- j
ocrats held a convention in!
Juneau on the last day of the |
month for the purpose of form- j
ulating a party platform and
deciding on the party policies, j
The apportionment of dele-!
gates for the various incorpoi- j
aied towns and- voting pre- j
cincts was as follows: Juneau
20 delegates; Haines2; Chich
agof 2; Petersburg. 3; Ketch
ikan 18; Hyder 2; Douglas 2;
Skagway 3; Sitka 4; Craig 2;
Wrangell 3; and all other pre
cincts one vote each.
T. S. Elsmore, of Petersburg,
and Senator Forrest J. Hunt, \
Republicans, have filed for the ;
nomination for Territorial sen- j
ator for the First Division. Mr.!
Elsmore is cashier of the Pet- i
ersburg Bank and present may- i
or of that city. Senator Hunt
was elected to the legislatures
of 1921 and 1923, serving as
president of the latter body, j
W. L. Paul, Ketchikan attor-,
ney has filed as a candidate
for nomination for member of
the lower house.
Thomas J. Donohoe has filed
his declaration of candidacy
for re-election as Democratic
National Committeeman. Mr.
Donohoe was requested to be
come a candidate to succeed
himself by Democrats in all
parts,of the Territory.
The following have filed for ,
nominations to membership
in the house and senate for the I
Third Division. J. L. Waller, of j
Anchorage, J. H. Murray, of
McCarthy, Frank Foster, of
Cordova, Edmund C. Oldfin,
of Anchorage, republicans, for
the house; A. E. Rucker, of
Seward, democrat, for the hou
se. Dr. W. H. Chase, of Cor
dova, has announced for the
senate, to run against Senator
E. E. Chamberlin, of Seward. ,
Cash Cole, who is a life-time ,
resident of Juneau, speaker of
the last House of Represent
atices and member of the last 1
two legislatures, has filed his
Big Influx Of Tourists
j-ciaap v,**-*^.*****
{Expected Next Summer
Probably the largest influx of
tourists in the history of the
territory will take place next
summer, judging from the ad
vance bookings now being
made by the steamship comp
anies engaged in the Alaska
trade.
Advance bookings .ctf itauri
ists for the 1924 season report
ed from the Seattle office of
the Admiral line have already
reached a total of over 800
and are hailed by that com
pany as showing an increased
interest on the part of the trav
elling public, as the indicated
number is unusually large for
this time of the year. Most of
the bookings are covered by
large parties. These include
the following: La Salle Assem
bly, Chicago, 100, Cincinnati
party, 100; Peoria Life Insur
ance Co., Peoria, 111., 160; a
party of Presbyter’'mo num
bering 150; a Dal.. , Texas,
party, 100; Stanr 'con, .
Co., New York, 1 ■. "he re
mainder are scattered book
ings by individuals.
The Alaska Steamship Co.
also expects to handle an un
usually large volume of traffic
and has announced a sched
ule of 45 sailings to Alaska be
tween April 24 and September
14. This will be the heaviest
traffic schedule ever attempt
ed, according to transportation
men.

COMMUNICATED
Mr. Editor:
In a recent article in the
Weekly Miner, comending the
public spirit displayed by Mr.
Earl Hinkley in keeping one ot
the downtown sidewalks free
of snow, you state that “his
highly beneficial services are j
animated by no personal obli
gation or interest.”
It is not the desire of the writ
er to detract in any way from
the credit due to Mr. Hinkley
for his very commendable ser
vices to the public but, at the
same time we fell called upon
to take exception to a portion
of the statement that he poss
esses "no personal obligation or
interest.” Admitting the ab
sence, of personal obligation,
we maintain that the statement
I
t i;> in error with respect to his
(‘ interest”, for it is hardly cor
! ect, inasmuch as he has cer
Uair.ly registered considerable
I interest of late.
The writer realizes that Ye
Editor is some busy man and
probably lives too far from the
i said walk to observe the con
jstant use Mr. Hinkley makes of
iit in journeying to the upper
sections of town.
Of course this is Leap Year’n
j everything but Mr. Hinkley,
:long before the Leap Year was
; ushered in, began to make
|marked use of the walsc in
j question. What puzzles us is
why he doesn’t keep it clear up
to the end of the board-walk in
the Forestry addition, for it
surely would be a great con
venience in expediting his fre
quent visits to that section of
our fair city.”
Far be it from us to question
he aim or purpose of those
^reambulations, Mr. Editor,
)ut to the thoughtful observei
they seem to portend what may
be called pursuit of an ideal
and we therefore submit that
Mr Hinkley is not devoid of in
terest in maintaining his val
uable and doubtless much ap
preciated labors.
