Miss Beatrice Mettham climbed

the ground.
Fred Armstrong of Stroudsburg,
Pa., was electrocuted two days af

Politics are apparently wrarming up
with several candidates coming out of
retirement. Seward should take steps
to be represented in the next Terri
torial legislature. It is of vita] im
portance.
An Alaskan exchange says that
the traveler should be welcomed with
open .arms. Having in mind some of
the many handsome school ma’ams
passing through Sew?ard we second the
motion.
• Advertising to be effective should
give descriptions and prices of the ar
ticle advertised. It is useless to ad
vertise a business as such, unless it
is to show the stranger what business
houses are in community. It is the
price, and price alone, coupled with
need, which sells an article.
When the city of Cerignola, Italy,
was shaken by an earthquake recent
ly, about 20,000 terrorized inhabitants
paraded the streets carrying a picture
of Holy Mary of Riplata, the city’s
traditional protectress, who was im
plored to stay the temblor’s destruct
iveness. In due time the quake ceas
ed and their faith was vindicated.
Californian cities should set up a pa
tron saint.
Potentate Walter Meier gives Alas
ka a good word upon his arrival in
Seattle, and appears to have hit the
nail squarely upon the head when he
declares that immigration is one of
our greatest needs. He also declares
that talk of abandoning the Alaska
railroad is useless and should be dis
continued. Mr. Meier’s outlook is a
healthy one for the territory and in
direct contrast to that of Congress
maan Free who apparently was look
ing for governmental mistakes.
A peasant named Grachev had long
cherished a hatred of his fellow villa
gers for a real or fancied grievance
in the little town of Ivankovo, Russia.
The village was composed of 14 rus
tic houses. While the rest were ab
sent in the fields he set fire to all
their homes and met their hurried re
turn with shotgun fire, killing 17 and
wounding others. Thirteen of the 14
houses were destroyed. Satisfied no
doubt with his revenge, Grachev es
caped. The moral to this is that the
vicious minority may be extremely
dangerous at times.
BOXING BAN IS
TO BE TESTED
> 1
The .first step in a movement to
test the authority of the federal gov
ernment to prevent boxing contests
in Alaska has been taken in the Ju
neau Federal court it was announced
by U. S. Attorney A. G. Shoup, rep
resenting Ketchikan promoters, for
mer Territorial Attorney General G.
B. Grigsby, has filed a petition for a
restraining order against Mr. Shoup
and U. S. Marshal G. D. Beaumont to
prevent them from interfering with a
scheduled boxing match at Ketchikan.
Joe Collier, Juneau Indian boxer,
and Joe Manila, Filipino boxer of the
same city, have been matched for a
bout to be held this month. Mr. Grigs
by alleges the bout will be stopped by
the two federal officials named in the
petition.
For a number of years smokers with
boxing the main attraction were held
in the First division without interfer
ence from the federal authorities. For
the most part they were sponsored by
the American Legion and similar or
ganizations. However, a Ketchikan
boxing club entered the game and im
mediately thereafter notice was given
that such contests were violations of
a federal law and must cease.
As Attorney General of the terri
tory several years ago Mr. Grigsby'is
of the opinion which held that the
laws now invoked were not applicable
to Alaska. He is said to have given
the matter considerable study and is
confident he can sustain his conten
tion in court.
Under the federal statute which Ju
neau federal officials claim is applica
ble boxing for money is made a felony.
As conviction for violation of the law
would involve heavy penalties the pe
tition for a restraining order was filed
to put the matter at issue rather than
to attempt to stage a contest and put
both promoters and the boxers under
a heavy risk.—Exchange.
