The rain of yesterday put the local
painters on the run and outdoor op
erations were suspended. It Is no
ticeable this spring that Instead of the
bright array of color •usually evident
we have nice quiet colors more rest
ful to the eye. Strange to say the
old courthouse is to be pained up
this year. The bureau of education
have decided to give the old building
its first coat of paint. Aboslutely
the first; as the lumber in that struc
ture has never been tainted with the
brush of any painter. It Will sure
Improve the look of the building.
This summer the good ship O. H.
Holmes will not be seen in the Arctic
for the bureau of education have been
notified that Captain Backland has
taken his schooner to Australia where
there is considerable activity in ship
ping circles, and where the freight
rates are h'lgher than in the Halcyon ‘
days of Nome.
Ohlptalitn Backland will surely l*e
missed in the Arctic. Allsslonery and
trader as well as master mariner he is
well known In the seven sens. He la
the navigator and owner of the sail
ing ship C. H. Holme# which for
years has been the only ship of any
size without power of any kind in the
Arct'ic ocean. This ship has been un
der charter to the bureau of educa
tion for years—is of S00 tons —and
brought supplies to all missions as
far as north Point Barrow.
The skipper of the C. H. Holmes
has several trading posts along the
Arctic const as well as a canning fac
tory at Kotzebue where he puts up |
many tons of trout and salmon yearly.
The product of this factory he ships
out by his vessel in the fail and this
paid him handsomely.
June 5 is the date set aside as clean
up day for the city of Nome. On that
date every resident or the city is re
quested to help the good cause along
and clenn up in the vicinity of their
homes. At the meeting held In tne

WELSH LOSES TITLE
TO BENNY LEONARD
j International News Service.
j NKW YORK, May 29—The light
| wieght championship of the world
j changed hands when last night Benny
Leonard scored a clean knockout over
j Champion Freddy Welsh at Madison
j Square Garden.
The bout was scheduled to go ten
rounds and was a no decision affair
in accordance with the New York laws.
The knockout came in the ninth round
j when Welsh after leading wMh his left
'attempted to step 'in and clinch, Leon
| ard by clever foot work avoided the
j clinch ripped in a left to the body
1 and crossing with right to the Jaw
!
i dropped his man for the count.
'
Up to this time the battle was one
of the fastest that has ever been seen
in this city, in the early rounds Welsh
gave every evidence that he was going
to make this a stalling affair like all
of his other battles since he became
champion.
But Leonard knowing the Welsh
trick of lead and clinch lend and
clinch never varying his style until
the final gong sounds—hnd some ideas
of his own and just ns soon as Welsh
began to stall he cut loose at such a
pace that Freddy simply had to tight
as a matter of protection.
The .result was that the fans were
treated to an exhibition, of just how
fast the champion could travel if
pressed and up to the ninth round he
had redeemed himself with the sport
lovers, but never for an Instant did lie
have an edge on his Opponent.
In the ninth Welsh attempted to
resort to h'is old tactics of lead and
clinch, bnt Benny who was waiting for
this stepped away avoiding the clinch
proving that his head was working'
as fast as his feet, tore In a terrific
left to the body and then a right to
the Jaw that gave him the champion
ship of the world.
This Benny Leonard has made him
self popular by his extreme cleverness
clean habits and willingness to at nit
times give the best that Is In him
and it is sure that any matches ac
cepted by him will mean packed houses
for there will be no stalling in any
of his battles.
Leonard has been trying to get
Welsh into a long distance match for
months but tne former champion
wanted none of it, preferring to stick
to the safety route namely New York,
short, no decision bouts and the re
markable thing about the change in
the title is that Leonard was able to
take it from him over this distance.
