HEARING TO BE
HELD TOMORROW,
2:30 ELKS' HALL
Information Sought on Chan
nel, Hawk Inlet and Oliver
Inlet Projects.
'A public (bearing to secure Informa
tion regarding the desirability of
dredging Gaatineau Channel, across
iMe.nden.hall bar, digging a canal
across the portage a,t Hawk Inlet anil
another at Oliver Inlet, will be held
tomorrow afternoon by Col. J. C
Gotwals, Acting District Engineer,
Board of Rivers and Harbors for
Alaska. It will be held in Klk
Hall, opening at 2:30 p. in., said
Colonel Gotwals.
On the three projects referred to,
said Colonel Gotwals, “the chief
thing wanted is data on the present'
available uses for them and prosper i
tive uses in the future.'' He ola-j
borated by pointing out that Gas
tineau Channel is of interest for fish i
ing boats and small coastwise ve:--l
sels to save the long trip around I
Douglas Island. The hearing is ex-j
pected to develop information bear \
ing on the extent the Channel,
dredged for such ships, would b
used at the present.
Hawk Inlet likewise is of deep in j
terest to fishing vessels in that t'a
proposed canal would offer a sh; ■!
route and an easier one th. n is n.av.
available to craft fishing in I v
Sraiits and the CJulf of Alaska, which |
would not only benefit -hips oper
ating out of Juneau, but all parts j
south of Juneau. In addition til
project might prove well worthwhil e
in developing the fine stand of tim
ber on the west side of Admiralty
Island a-s fur down as Killisnoo. g.v
Ing that region 4 direct water con
nection with Juneau.
The Oliver Inlet channel project i
advocated as a means of the neces
sity for traversing the frequent!;, i
rough waters to the west of Taku;
Inlet and as making accessible a j
stand of timber on Admiralty Island .!
Information bearing on such claims
is desired at the hearing, said Col
onel Gotwals.
"The chief problem," h,> add d, "i-,
lo settlo on a reasonable program
of improvement not too great in Its
first cost, but one that will help to-1
ward further developing of local
coastwise traffic and the fishing It; I
diistry and also contribute ::i th ■
development of the forests of the!
district,’’
Officials of the Juneau Commercial
Association and business men genei
ally today urged everyone having an j
interest in the projects and in pus

METS DEFEAT LOCAL
A. N. B. TEAM IN FAST
GAME; NO GAME TODAY
By defeating the Juneau A. N. U
five 21 to 11 on its own floor last
night, the Metlukatla A. C. basket-!
ball team made it four straight vic
tories since arriving here last Sat-|
vrday. The allowing made by the
local team surprised even its sup
porters. It hit a high rate of speed,
during the first half that kept it on
even terms with the Mots.
flood checking by both teams kept
the score down in the first half.
The A. N. H. team aroused the
hopes of its boosters by breaking:
even during that period, the acorcj
at the end of tlie first half being,
seven all.
The Mets, however, stepped on the
gas in the last half and won!
handily, scoring 14 points, holding
the A. N. 11. five to 4 for the final
period. Fine team work by the vis
iting team featured the game, which!
was clean and fast.
After the game both teams were
guests at a dance given in the A.'
N. B. Hall.
Metlrkatla has no game scheduled;
for tonight. It has played foui
games in the last five nights and!
will rest until tomorrow evening
when it meets Douglas High on the
latter’s floor. Saturday evening the
Mets fight it out with Juneau High
in A. II. Hall.
