OLD JOHN WITH
“New Year's eve had nothing on
the celebration staged in San Fran
cisco on June 30 when the country ,
went dry,” recently wrote W. R
Gray, formerly of Skagway, to a
friend in Juneau.
“They had a band and a cortege .
walk down Market street on June j
30, wdth numerous mourners fol-!
lowing. The bandsmen were dressed
in fantastic costumes and played the (
‘Dead March.' They were headed
by a banner with a picture of old
John Barleycorn, and manv were
the beautiful and touching epitaphs j
displayed thereon. Altogether it;
was a most mournful sight and near-;
ly every one of the followers was
convulsed with grief. In fact, so
great was the esteem in which old
John was held in the good old town
of San Francisco that every°ne
seemed more or less affected, and
some of our most respected citizens
were so overcome that they col-1
lapsed on the sidewalks. But kindly
and sympathetic friends in a trem-1
bling and unsteady manner offered
first aid and comfort to their griev-:
ing and helpless comrades. Truly
it was a heartrending sight."
Mr. Gray adds that anyone with a
cache is more than popular wnth his j
friends in the California city.
Letters received in Nenana, de-,
scriptive of the “big night” declare i
that the crush of drinkers was such
that it was almost impossible to;
edge one’s way into a thirst em- ;
porium. The saloons were packed !
throughout the night, and the num
ber of “drunks” on the streets out-,
distanced anything of the kind ever
witnessed in that gay city, and in-!
eluded many women and even some
children. The lid was off, and then
some.

NEW CHAMPION
HAS 45 K. O.'S
10 HIS CREDIT
LOS ANGELES.—“Despite all the
men who have gone before him.
Jack Dempsey is in line to make
pugilistic history that will live for
ever.”
This was the comment of James
J. Jeffries, former world’s heavy
weight champion, on the victory of
Jack Dempsey over Jess Willard at
Toledo, Ohio, when Dempsey an
nexed the highest honors of the
squared circle.
“The record he has made in the
last four years.” said the ex-cham
pion, “with his sleep-producing
punches, is one of the marvels of
the prizering and stamps him as a
pugilist with hitting powers such as
few champions have possessed since
glove contests succeeded the days
'of bare-knuckle fights.”
After comparing Dempsey’s ring
record with other pugilists who wore
the coveted belt, Jeffries s?:d:
i “Some of the old-timers declare
that Bob Fitzsimmons was the hard
iest puncher in ring history. But
great as was old Fitz's record, the
:list of knockouts he hung up was
not as long as that which Dempsey
icompiled in four short years"
Fitzsimmons, continued Jeffries,
i was credited with '24 knockouts,
.while Dempsey has ended 45 bouts
with the count of ten.
JAPS WILL RESUBMIT
CLAIM FOR EQUALITY
TOKIO.—Rejection of the Jap
anese claim for recognition of racial
equality in the peace conference ap
; parently has not discouraged those
who are working in support of the
principle through the Racial Indis
crimination League, which was or
ganized in Japan about six months
ago. The organization has now
been made permanent, and its plan
; is to resubmit the proposal ever;.'
year at the sittings of the League
of Nations Council.
The organization is now at work
upon drafts of proposals which will
be submitted to the first sitting of
the council at Washington. An ef
fort is being made to secure sup
port for the next attempt from both
the Chinese and the people of India
by circulation of propaganda in
those countries.
With three new roads to be under
construction inside of a week, two
i large store and office buildings in
| progress, a new city park and base
ball diamond being rapidly cleared,
;a new lighthouse dock nearing com
pletion and numerous private homes
! being built, Ketchikan is now in the
midst of the greatest period of ex
pansion of its history, says the
Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle.
