COMPOSITE BEAUTY
Beauty being “not in the thing itself but the immor
tal idea which shines thru it,” or in other words a com
posite term, it is not overdrawing the picture to point
« o the Anchorage High School girls’ basketball team as
a “thing of beauty and a joy forever.”
Seldom does one behold a more symmetrical, well
nourished and graceful bevy of little beautiees than is
embraced in this appropriate representation of Anchor
age girlhood.
It is just such a picture as Spencer conjured up when
he soared to extravagant flights in the “Fairie Queen.”
—something which transcends the mere visual and peo
ples a leafy bower with spiritual beings for which only
the imagination can reach but never grasp.
It is the flower of maidenhood which has been the
inspiration of poets, and translated into its fullest es
sence, is that ha son which causes man’s mind to drift to
the spiritual while considering the material.
Nothing has gone farther to develop a new and
healthier type of American womanhood than mild ath
letics which while developing muscle and grace do not
draw too heavily upon facial contour and approach the
masculine in its ultimate muscular proportions.
LEGISLATIVE BOOMERANG
The verdict cf the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals granting a permanent injunction against the
Territorial Treasurer restraining him from collecting
$250 as a non-resident fishermen’s tax, was expected.
As interpreted by the court the size of the tax made
it confiscatory and robbed it of its virtue as a revenue
measure.
As explained in the verdict, the law of 1924 granted
all citizens of the United States the right to fish in Alas
kan waters under certain regulations. These regulations
embodied the element of taxation, not as a means for
thwarting non-resident fishermen fishing, but as cur
rent revenue.
Had the Legislature approached the matter some
thing after that ef dealing with non-resident hunters,
probably the Territory would have been sustained in its
position.
The question of big traps will come before the next
session of the Legislature. Indications are that it will be
approached along the same lines as the non-resident
fishermen’s license. The primary object is to eliminate
traps. It has been proposed to load them with such heavy
taxes as to make them prohibitive.
Like the non-resident fishermen’s license, this is due
to failure unless it bears the element of equity and is not
discriminatory.
Once the system of taxation is removed from the
pack and applied to the catch Alaska will place all fish
ermen on an equal footing and at the same time increase
its tax revenues.
No powers repose in the Legilature’s hands to legis
late any industry out of the Territory.
The place to settle the matter is in Congress, which
has the right to say as to what method shall be used to
take fish in Alaska.
They are broadcasting the roar of Niagra Falls.
Well, it takes a big noise to drown out Congress ballyhoo.
The Eastern Republican press complain that Pres
ident-Elect Roosevelt lacks the brilliance of a Hoover.
But every man cannot be gold-plated.
A scientist claims the distinction of finding spiders,
bumble bees, grasshoppers and other insects near Mt,
McKinley. Now it’s up to some Sourdough to discover
the different varieties cf nuts found on Broadway, N. Y

ANCHORAGE GIRLS
AAAOE IT TWO STRAIGHT
FROM SEWARD HIGH
The secret was reveaied last
night. Its the guards, who are
responsible!
Responsible for the second de
feat of the Seward High School
girls basketball team at the hands
of the Anchorage girls; the score
was (say it soft and low) 35-4.
And the Anchorage guards re
ferred to are Peterson, Reed and
Erbacher. The Seward sharpshoot
ers were unable to penetrate this
defense and it is no great discred
it that the locals were so badly
defeated. The Anchorage guards
are feared in their own home
town, likewise. Over there they
are called “The Three Horsemen.”
Backed up by the sure-shot for
wards and spring-kneed center,
the Anchorage girls fear no man,
woman or child, when it comes to
basketball. They held Seward
down to a mere 12 tries for bas
kets whlie they, themselves, took
33 shots
In the first quarter the visitors
were air-tight against the fighting
locals .The second quarter saw
Anchorage permit Seward to get
by once- The third quarter saw
Seward snatch their second bas
ket, while the last quarter showed
Anchorage closing up again as
tight as a clam.

M. S. POLAR BEAR IN
PORT ROUND WESTWARD
An old friend but more or less
a stranger dropped into port to
day in the person of Capt. Carl
E. Anderson, formerly of the SS.
Starr but who now is engaged in
independent trading with his fine
motor vessel, the Polar Bear.
Captain Anderson reports busi
ness to be fair and on the present
voyage is bound for far away Attu
and Atka Islands, the furthermost
western point on the North Amer
ican continent. He planned to
get away at an early hour today
providing the gale subsided.
Mrs. Anderson, efficient and
popular member of the Seward
high school faculty for a number
of years, and the Captain, are
comfortably located in Seattle now
and are enjoying the change.
