FIREMEN SMOTHER
JUNEAU A. N. B. BOYS
BY BIG MARGIN
In an extremely one-sided basket
ball game here last night the Doug
las Firemen won from the Juneau
A. N. B. aggregation by the score of
42 to 9.
The Indians were too closely guard
ed to make many baskets, getting but
three in the first half to 7 of the
Firemen, and only one in the second
half against 12 for the Firemen. The
latter made 4 on foul throws to but
1 by tlio A. N. B.
The scoring for the Natives was
done by Clark, who made 2; Wilson.
1, and Collier, 1.
For the -Firemen, I Lindquist played
a stellar game, caging 6 throws and
doubling his nearest -throw's. Brown.
Smith and Gain each dropped In
three, Gall was and (Manning each
two. Garn and Manning did not on
ter the game until the last few min
utes of play.
The girls’ game was also a one
sided affair, with the first team
winning by 23 to 4 against the sec
ond team. They were altogether too
fast for their practice mates and
judging from their work in last
night's game, should be in line for
many futuro victories.

JUNIOR NAVAL RESERVE
MODIFIES AGE LIMITS
NEW YORK. Jan. 31.—Coys who
in tiie past have been disappointed at j
not being able to Join the United j
states Junior Naval Reserve because i
they were too young, can now look
forward to membership provided they
| have attained 1ft years. The organ
ization has taken down the bars
against youngsters under 14, and will
now accept them as naval appren
tices. The "junior" juniors will wear
a distinguishing mark on the right
sleeve of the uniforms.
Tip to the m-esont time the Reserve
has admit tea boys only between the!
ages of 14 and 21. Now they may
join between the ages of 10 and 14 I
On reaching the age of 14, the new j
category wall be transferred into]
the ranks of the Reserve proper.
The young recruits will not be
expected to attend night-drills, or
carry a gun. They will not be
brought in contact with the older
boys, but will assemble in their re
spective districts on Saturday after
noons under the command of older
cadet officers, and be instructed In
marching and interesting rudiments
of boat knowledge. Where circum
stances permit, arrangements will be
made for beneficial hikes and enter
tainment, interesting visits aboard
ships in the harbors, and other pro-j
grants that cannot fail to benefit and
interest real boys, whether they ever
expect to "follow the sea” or not.

iNegotiations Reported Corn-'
pleted and Loan Secured
from Scandinavia.
HELSINGFORS, Jan. 31.—The So
viet government has completed ne-,
gotiations, according to reports
■ ,reaching; this city, for a loan from!
’!Scandinavian banking firms to be,
r \ used for the extension of what is’
known as the Marie Canal system |
[Canals connect the upper reaches o! :
, the Volga with the Neva, thus niak |
[ing Petrograd virtually a commercial,
[port for Caspian sea trade. A Ger-'
Ilian steamer recently demonstrated
jtliai ships can pass from Petrogra 11
.to the Caspian sea through these
icanals, and the plan is to make them;
i navigable for big river lighters and
(boats of a fair size.
Tho amount of the loan has not
i been made public.
The steamer that made the passage
> of tho canals and rivers reached
E ns ell, the Persian port on the Cas
pian sea, direct from Hamburg with
a cargo of sugar, foot-wear and sew
ing machines. The trip was part of
the German plan to regain former
shipping Influence, anil fnore o/ les
In the nature of an experiment. The
steamer left Hamburg In July
passed through tho Baltic to Petro
grad, and by the Neva entered Lake
'Ladoga. Thence she made a long
1 journey through the canals which
■ brought her to Rlbinsk, on tho Volga.
I From that point the Volga Is navig
lable for small vessels., The boat
| reached Nijni Novgorod on October
'9, descended tho river to Astrakan
| and proceeded to Enscli.
Tho trip sOeina to have proved
that the route is satisfactory, as r
Hamburg company has been organ
