GARRETTY's GRIEVANCE.
The Recruiting Officer is Not En-
listing Men for Service in
Alaska

IDG hcCPuEClnS OfGccf is MOI En-
listing Men for Service in
Alaska.
Capt. Frank d. Garretty, the genial
recruiting officer, with headquarters
on Wabasha street, has recently
been made the victim of a severe
affection, which he believes to be the
result of hoax started by some one i'll
Minneapolis. A GLOBE reporter on
Saturday occupied a chair in the cap
tain's office and witnessed a practical
illustration of the arrangement.
Two ragged-loolling men appeared
within the doorway, and heSitatingly
advanced into the center of room, where
they came to halt and nervously fin
gered theirhats. The captain awaited
for them to state their wants but neither
spoke.
"Well. what can I do for you, gentle
men?" the officer finally inquired.
''Well we heard, Captain -" and
he stopped.
''Heard what?"
'That YOU were hiring soldiers at 500
month to go surveying in Alaska, and
we -"
ooh, murther," murmured the cap
tain, throwing up both hands in des-
pair, and the sergeant at his desk
chuckled loudly as he bent over his
work.
mo, strive are not" said the captain,
desperately, ''and you will do me a ia
vor by telling every person you meet
that we are not" and the door closed
upon the retreating forms Of the two
disappointed individuals.
'These men," began the captain,
and then stopped. Three rather re-
spectacle looking men had come in.
.'Well?" inquired the captain.
eve came, sir, to enlist, If we can, in
the surveying squad that is to go to
Alaska"
s'My dear man." said Capt. Garretty,
pm sick and tired of Alaska. l wish
the United States had never bought it.
If the government wants to
send men to survey Alaska they
can do so, but Pm not in it. I've
got nothing to do with it. The govern
ment. if it wishes to do this, will send
it's engineers, guarded by two compan-
les of cavalry, in case they pass through
any dangerous districts. Furthermore
they would get men on the Pacific coast
for there are as many like you floating
around the streets of San Francisco as
there are here. Please, for heavens
sake, say nothing more about it. Tell
your fathers, mothers, brothers, uncles,
cousins and friends that / don't know
where Alaska is" and after this re-
mark he leaned back in his chair eX-
hausted.
81 think this thing was started by
some men in Minneapolis who wanted
to get rid of these bores. They would
say, Go over to st. Paul to the recruiting
HI NJ,
800 per month to survey Alaska
They bit, and have been coming here
in droveS. Pm almost pestered to
death by them and wish you would
state in the GLOBE that at almost any
book store can be found handsome,
brilliantly colored and complete maps
of Alaska at cheap prices"
In moment more he was asleep from
fatigue, while the sergeant disappeared
into an outer room and laughed like a
hyena.

get stuck on themselves altogether too
much. Doescher takes the cake in this
respect. He thinks he knows it all, and
won't listen to anything you have to say,
even if you are right or are the manager
or captain. He is the high and mighty
and knows it all. Gaffney is the most
overrated man in the business, and as
result his head is very badly swelled.
McQuaid is the original American asso-
citation umpire Of the corps,and is easily
the best of the lot. He knows his bust
ness, attends TO his business and goes
fill everybody with a sense Of his inn
portance and stock of knowledge. The
league lost nothing when it let Does
cher, Gatfney and Ferguson go, for as
good men can be found to-day"

The Times this morning in strong
article presses the issue of a reduction
in gate money, treating the subject as a
matter OF alleged national Importance.
According to the Times tariff reduction

is too high. Addressing the typical
base ball manager, the paper says:
''Of course, it's mere matter. of

continue to exact high price you may
continue to receive it, but you take cold

unjustitiable and will certainly be eX-

DAKOTA ARBOR DAY.
Suggestions Why 1t Should Be
Generally Observed.

Prof. Keffer, secretary of the horti-
cultural society, and in charge of the
experimental station at Brookings col
lege, in an article to the Prairie Farmer
says:
ssNoregion in all this vast country
should celebrate Arbor day more gener-
ally OF more enthusiastically than Da-
kota. That this fact is recognized by
the citizens of this great territory is evil
denced by the wide publicity given the
governors proclamation on the subject,
the earnest advocacy of the press, and
the numerous inquiries regarding what
to plant, and when, and how Having

FARM NOTES.
Points and Facts Gathered to In.
tepeSt and Helm Farmers.

A New England contemporary con-
graduates the people of New England
that while as whole New England is
smaller than some single states. it is di-
vided into six states each of which will
have its agricultural experiment sta
ton, and receive the $4,000 under the
Hatch bill, while the great states will
get no more. In those old regions there
is comparatively little need of expert
mental stations, as the possibilities of
the soil and climate have been pretty
thoroughly tested. 1t would have been
the better way to lump the six New
England states in one for this purpose
and given the bulk of the appropriation
to the new regions.
Mai. Alvord advocates low registry
fees for imported cattle, and attributes
much of the depression in pure bred
stock to the restriction of trade effected
by prohibitory fees for registration.
Meteorites sometimes obtain velocity
