NORTHERN NOTES
Albert Reichert who is prospect
ing out on Dexter creek benches in |
the Nome district, has encountered
water in each of the four shatts
that he has sunk to a depth of from
50 to 60 feet. The water in the
last shaft does not appear to gain
any and as a consequence he will
wait for the weather to tighten up
in order to help freeze back the wat
er. He states the shaft will prob
ably be continued one hundred ieet
before reaching bedrock.
Letters have been sent out to the
34 blue fox farmers in the vicinity
of Cordova requesting their presence
here at a reorganization meeting of

SPEEDY INTERCITY
BASKET GAMES ON
FOR NEXT WEEK
BASKETBALL CLASSIC OF THE
SEASON WILL BE PLAYED
NEXT WEEK
ANCHORAGE SOLDIERS COMING j
Khaki Clad Team Is Accredited with
Beinc Fastest Aggregation of
the Interior
The Soldiers basketball quintet, of
the U. S. army post at Anchorage,
will ariive in Seward next Wednes
day to a series of three games to
determine the real champions of the
Railroad belt. The army lads are
purported to be the class of the
three teams at the interior city.
Although they were recently defeated
by the Anchorage City five by the
narrow margin of two points, for the
local championship, their steady and
consistent playing throughout the
winter season, makes them stand
out as the best team in the interior
town.
By virtue of their victories over
the teams of the interior,, the boys
in khaki felt that they were entitled
to a match with Seward for the
championship of this district. This
series, to the keen delight of the
local citizens, has been arranged
for by the Executive Committee of
! the S. A. C. and xvill be staged
here next week. The exact dates
are, 11, 12 and 13. To all appear
ances, it should be the fastest set
of games to have been staged in
Seward in recent years.
“Ted” McEwen, coach for the
local team, has not as yet made
known his intended lineup to be
used in the big clash next week,
but close observers are expecting
i “Mac” and his players to surprise
the public with a few changes of
positions.
Though realized by few local cit
izens, Seward, at present, can boast
of what many knowing fans judge
to be the classiest array of basket
ball talent in Alaska. The star ag
gregation, which began to take form
: during the past season, was envious
i ly rounded out by the recent acqui
sition of Clark Andr'esen, positively
I one of the Territory s fastest ath
continual pumping to keep it dry.
J. F. Wash, of Cordova, pioneer
of the Northland, died in Portland,
Oregon, January 23, after a linger
ing illness. He went to the States
last fall in the hope that a change
of climate might bring relief, but
to no avail.
The Normal Lecture Bureau, of
New York City, is the first lyceum
bureau to offer a lecture on Alaska
to its patrons, and has made arrange
ments with Mr. Asa C. Baldwin to
fill the many bookings that have
been made. The Normal Le ture
Bureau specializes in talks on travel
and exploration.
A side trip to Alaska is being ar
ranged in connection with the meeting
of the National Editorial Association
at Los Angeles in June. Secretary
Hotaling writes that “quite a num
ber of our party will take the trip
North following the convention.
Seems to be a great deal on interest
in the proposed visit to Alaska.”

letes. Andresen’s appearance and
the new players that destined to
Seward since last year have given
the Gateways an opportunity to put
a tensely formidable combination
on the floor against all comers.
Probably the most able and heady
cage star that ever donned a Sew
ard uniform, is Ted McEwen who
was induced last fail to take 6ver i
the basketball squad and coach them j
during spare hours, a task that Ted j
assumed because of his love for the ]
game and the development of young-!
st jvs as much as any tiling else. S>:w
ardites have had on.i> ono occasion. ;
however, to witness his sterling
play—during the Anchorage series j
staged here last November—and then
he was easily the high point man
and rated as the outstanding star
of the series.
The third new star in the local
athletic firmament is popular Jim
my Ratliff, who has a slippery style j
of his own in getting the ball from ;
the opposition and eluding them com- '
pletely on the floor, no matter bow
vicious their attacks. And Jimmy j
can shoot baskets! Spectators who
have been watching Mac, who has!
been puttnig his squad through, in
preparation for the coming series for ,
the Soldiers, have marveled at Rat-1
liff’s back and side arm shots per- ;
forating the elusive hoop in amazing
succession. Add to the foregoing
trio, Johnson, Dyer, Tinkler and
Chya, and any opposing team will
have work cut out for them to stick
to the finish.
Psychologists say a man should (
never argue with his wife. But
what is the poor critter going to do?!
He’s gotta go home once in a while. 1
