j ANOTHER HOTEL GOES
TO JAPS IN SEATTLE
Another Seattle hotel has been ab
sorbed by Japanese interests, ac
! cording to mail advices received
from the Puget sound city last week.
The latest reported addition to the
‘long list of Japanese-owned hostel
ries in that city is the Lincoln,,
which is said to have changed hands
within the past few weeks, although
; no mention of the change has ap
peared in the Seattle papers.
As a matter of fact, Seattle pa
pers vigorously deny that any of the
hotels are owned or controlled by
Japs, but these denials have failed
to convincb the public.

BAKKEIBALL BOYS
PLAY CLOSE GAME
The second basketball game of
the season, which was played at
Union hall yesterday afternoon, was
a splendid exhibition and so close
throughout as to keep the spectators
on their toes most of the time. The
teams were very evenly matched and
the play was fast from start to fin
ish. The losing team was in the
lead at the end of the first half.
The attendance yesterday was not
quite as large as on the occasion of
the first game, but there was plenty
of enthusiasm and the game was so
thoroughly enjoyed that it is certain
the next game will fill the hall. The
boys have not decided definitely,
but it is probable that they will not
play again until after the holidays.
The lineups yesterday and the
goals made by each player were as
follows:
Blakey, 14 Taylor, 6
Osborne. 3 . Smith, 4
Scott . Fuelling, 1
Hershberger, 3 . Cooney, 2
Crouse . Edmunds, 1
Free throws—Blakey, 1.
Umpire—Watson.
Referee—Morris.
I Time—40 minutes.
COMING NEXT FRIDAY
“MICKEY,” the big comedy hit of
