FIGHTERS MAKE STATEMENTS
NEW YORK, July 22, (/P)—The rip tearing Dempsey |
of old came back in one of the most sepctacular fights in;
history wirining a chance to regain his lost crown by rally- j
ing after a wobbly start. Dempsey bored thru Sharkey's
defense with a terrific right hook to the pit of the stom- j
ach which doubled up Sharkey and with a crashing left to
the jaw brought the Boston giant down. Suddenly, from
somewhere, Dempsey had gained a new store of stamia
and approached his old speed, accuracy and power, flail
ing his younger rival with growing power. The telling
blow to the stomach ^yas so close that Sharkey and his
supporters insisted he had been fouled but Dr. William
Walker, of the Boxing Commission, after an examination,
said no low blow had been struck. Sharkey said “it was
alright as long as he stuck to banging me around the hips
but when he dropped them lower—. I'm not discouraged
and will be fighting when Dempsey is gray haired".
Dempsey was deliriously happy and said“I knew I'd win
after that reception,when I entered the ring. It lifted
me up and made me fight harder. I give a lot of credit
to Sharkey, he’s a tough, rugged boy, a mighty stiff boxer
and one of the cleverest heavyweights I ever faced."
BLOW WAS FAIR

ALASKA MANAGER FOR
TOE LOMEN REINDEER
PASSES THRU TOWN
CAN OF FINISHED PRODUCT PRE
SENTED TO GATEWAY; FANCY
ROAST REINDEER
The first can of Lomen Reindeer
to have arrived in Seward is on ex
hibition in the Gateway office and,
It might be added here that the Gate
way is proud of it.
A. J. Raber, manager of the meat
packing department for the Lomen
Reindeer Corporation, was a passen
ger on the S. S. Victoria in port Wed
nesday night and while here left the
sample with the Gateway, and at the
same time took occasion to tell of a
few facts of this new Alaskan indus
try which means so much, not only
to the Territory, but to those active
ly connected with the enterprise,
principally the Eskimo, reindeer
owners and herders.
A full line canning plant and all
necessary equipment was on the Vic
toria. Though the machinery repre
sents but one line, it is equivalent
to an additional one due to the inter
changable parts. Ten thousand ca
ses of two pounds and one-half
pounds will be packed this season at
the company’s first plant, at Govin.
Headquarters for the northern divi
sion will be at Nome. 'Within the
near future, Mr. Raber stated, it is
hoped that a series of plants will be
in operation. %
Aside from the reindeer canning
complete by-product plants will also
be operated. These will produce
poultry feed, bone meal, oils, and fer
tilizer. Then comes the hides. For
these there is a wonderful market,
he said, the company having obtain
ed a price of two dollars per hide,
F. O. B. Seattle. This is in excess
of one dollar and twenty-five cents
of any previous offer on hides and
is due primarily to the concentra
tion of supplies. Reindeer hides
make splendid leathers for gloves,
coats, vests, caps, and fancy leathers,
'fhe hide commands a higher price
on the market than any other hide
except buck-skin.
Only the finished product from the
saddles, will be shipped. These will
be dressed in burlap and cheese-cloth.
Regarding the canned goods, Mr.
Raber stated they have been all sold
on sight on the Seattle market with
many additional orders already to be
filled. The price for the canned
meat is quite reasonable.
As was published recently in the
Gateway, the company has already
purchased the large motor ship Sier
ra and installed a new refrigerating
plant with a refrigerating cargo
