MARQUAM WINS
AUTO RACE AT
A considerable number of Fair
banksans were on hand yesterday
at the Fairbanks ball park to wit
ness the match automobile race be
tween Attorney Tom Marquam and
Territorial Mine Inspector Bob
Sommers, and the event proved
highly entertaining, with all the
thrills of a real classic. Marquam
crossed the line two laps in the
lead.
The feature of the race was a
somersault which the Marquam car j
turned on the ninth lap, the ma
chine turning completely over, with- j
out injuring the occupants or hurt-,
ing the car in the least. A little j
time was lost while the car was j
being righted, but this was quickly!
made and Marquam finished with a
safe margin.
Harley Rutherford rode with Mar-1
quam and Jack Foley accompanied
the mine inspector. The drivers and j
their assistants changed cars at the
end of the fifteenth lap, which was i
half the distance run.
The race was preceded by a ball •
game between the Van Dykes and!
the F. B. C.’s, for the benefit of i
Pitcher Jack Wenzell. The Vans
won with a score of 16 to 10.
Freth garden seeds, just arrived.

LONDON. — Race riots in the
Northern part of England and Wales
have created a stir throughout the
country, principally because of the
novelty of such occurrences in these
islands.
Normally there are few negroes
or aliens with colored skins to be
seen in Great Britain, but the
exigencies of war caused the im
portation of a large number of
them to work on seaport docks and
to recruit the ranks of manual la
borers depleted by the call for
fighting men. They wrere brought
from various parts of the world,
South Africa and the West Indies
supplying the bulk of them. Many
Arabs also were imported.
Repatriation of these colored men
has been slow, with the consequence
that many demobilized British sol
diers have had what to them seemed
the bitter experience of seeing
strangers engaged at profitable em
ployment, while they themselves
looked in vain for work.
Resentment over this state of af
fairs quickly developed into hatred
when the soldiers observed that the
strangers were trying to cultivate
the acquaintance of white girls. A
number of negroes took white wives.
A medical officer in the troubled
district describes the situation as
very serious, both from a health
and an economic point of view, and
asserts that 400,000 demobilized
men are still without employment,
while negroes are employed. “Is
this not a gross injustice?” he
asks. “It is nothing less than in
iquitous that the men who have
fought for their country should find
the jobs they need occupied by ne
groes.”

Among yesterday’s arrivals in Xe
nana was Rev. F. L. Forbes, D. D.,
superintendent of the Upper Yukon
District of the Bureau of Education,
who is making his first visit to the
upper Tanana as representative of
the federal department having jur
isdiction over Indian affairs in Alas- j
ka.
Dr. Forbes is not a stranger in
Xenana. He first came to Interior
Alaska in the early summer of 1917,
as representative of the Presbyteri
an Sunday school work, and started
the movement which resulted later
in the summer in the establishment
of the local Presbyterian church. He
also took an active part in securing
a public school for X'enana, having
served as a member of the commit
tee named to define the boundaries
of the school district and to pre
pare the petition for the establish
ment of the school.
After leaving Xenana, Dr. Forbes
was appointed superintendent of the
Upper Yukon District of the Bureau
of Education, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Superintend
ent Boulter, and is now stationed
at Tanana, headquarters of the dis
trict. The present trip up the Tan
ana is in cennection with some
native homestead matters.
The Upper Yukon district includes
all of the Yukon country from the
mouth of the Koyukuk river to
Eagle. There are at present seven i
native schools in the district, with
the prospect of the establishment of
two more, for which petitions have
been presented.
There is the possibility, Dr.
Forbes informed a representative of
The Xews yesterday, that a native
boarding-school will be established
at Horner Hot Springs, on the Yu
kon river about one hundred miles
below Tanana. The matter has not
yet been decided definitely, but there I
is pressing need for such a school j
and the location is ideal.
Dr. Forbes made the trip up river!
on the Heeter side-wheel gasboat, ■
which arrived from Tanana vester-!
day evening. )
