Douglas Island news., 1899-12-27

Christmas is over and the people of Douglas Island and Juneau have spent lots of money for presents of all kinds, but, if they only knew what anice lot of holiday goods are still left at the Treadwell store-if they only knew the price they can be bought for, there would be such a rush as was never equalled, except at a peach wagon at an eastern county fair. Next Monday is New Years day and between this and that time you had better go to Tread well and see the goods that are left and the prices asked.

The Ledger on Dr. Jackson.

The Tacoma Ledger still keeps up its warfare against pr. Sheldon Jackson and mourns the loss of the money he has used in the introduction of reindeer into Alaska. Such labor as Dr. Jack son performed in connection with the experimental introduction of these animals into this country was done by order of the interior department and the money was appropriated by Con- gress. If the Ledger wants to kick, it had better kick at the right place. It was Dr. Jackson's opinion that rein deer might be made as useful in Alaska as they are in their native country. Gov. Brady and thousands of other Alaskans, were of the same opinion. The fact is that the peopleo of this dis trict are beginning to believe that the introduction of these animals will prove to be a decided success. That such will not be the case, is unknown to the Ledger, and it is discussing a subject that it had better let alone. Alaska is pouring thousands of dollars into the U. s. Treasury, and if the reindeer ex- pertinent is continued, it will be our business and at our own expense.
 We think it about time the leading Washington papers cease their attacks on our officers. They are just as hon. est and upright as those of Washing ton ifnot more so. The papers of that state insist on our trade, in one col umn, and in the next, they abuse and vilify our people. It is getting weari- some. We trust our merchants will take notice of these attacks. If they are not stopped, Portland should and will be found to be convenient and cheap trading place.

Three Trips a rlonth.

The City of Seattle makes three trips a month between Seattle and Skagway, and she makes the trip in less time than any boat on the run. She 'out- flies" them all. She has large, beauti- fuI staterooms, her social hall is ele- gant, and the dining room is separate and away from the social hall. In all respects she is the finest boat to travel on that sails into Alaska.

have gone through the season with but
three or four defeats against them. The
only reason there appears for these poor
displays is the lack OF combination. The
teams are too "star" class to play to.
gether, each man must establish his reputa.
ton, and the result is he drags the colors
of the clubs into the mlre. Less ability
and more combination would quickly spell
more points in each camp.

The English foot ball season is now in
full swing, and from the present time Till
the end OF April the intense excitement
which is manifested in the northern cities
and towns will continue at full concert
pitch. To those unacquainted with North OF
England foot ball we can best explain the
enthusiasm by comparing the entire eight
months with the months OF November in
America, where the most important COL
legiate games are played. A crowd of 10000
spectators is no unusual sight at the COM
mencement of the season and gate OF
so 900 has been recorded at match at the
end of the season. 1t should also be con-
sdered that games are being played in
the big cities ain ost every Saturday and
spectators have only to turn out and watch
the game that is being played in their own
city 1t is perhaps a good thing for the
game that the interest is so great as the
big clubs are all professionals and the play
ers are paid during the entire season like
/, the American base ball player. But unlike
the latter game, matches are not played
every day during the season and the price
OF ADMISSION Is usually IL CeHlS anu ueNer
more than rs cents. Then, again, it must
be considered that the English sport is a
winter one, and games are played when the
weather is harly conducive to big at
tendance.
There are in England and Scotland five
important leagues, some OF which are di-
vided into two divisions. They are: The

the Scottish league Besides these there

| The Football league Is by far the most i'm

PALAvER OF THE PUGlLISTS
Gossip on Mccoy and Also on the
Approaching Jefries-sharkey
Fight.

They have begun to talk and bet, too, for
that matter. on the coming Jeffries- -Sharkey
fight down in New York. Although 1t was
intimated by numerous so-called author
tiles that the proposition would be an
even one by the time the men had gotten
we'll down to training, | see, as usual, the
authorities didn't know what they were
talking about. In the estimation of every
big moneyed sport in the great metropolis
there is but one in it, and he Is the cham
pon. One or two go so far as to say
that the brawny Jack Tar may make 1t in
teresting for the champion for a number OF
rounds, but that is about all. Not one
tips him off as possible winner. Interest
in the big fight is increasing daily and 1t
is thought that one of the greatest throngs
that ever assembled to witness fistic bat
tie will be in New York on the 9th. Big
excursion trains will be run from as far
west as Chicago and from New Orleans and
all points in the south, and altogether the
event promises to cap the years pugilistic
cap sheaf.
Omaha daily bee., 1899-10-08

Kid Mccoy is certainly wise. If he has as
report has it, declined to go on with his
match with Peter Maher. AS a reason the
graceful Hoosier claims that he is as good
as matched with Fitz, despite the latter's
recently published manifesto to the con-
trary. He says that Robert will have to
meet him at the middleweight limit or sur
render the title. While, like many Others
give Peter Maher but small rating against
game, clever men, there is no denying that
he is terrible puncher and always has
chance, At that, think Mccoy could cut
him to ribbons, and would easily stand off
Fitz, too at the weight he desires TO meet
him at. One more knockout at the hands
of a stiff will settle Mccoy as a big at
traction, and he knows it., Although he
reversed matters with Jack Mccormick, he
has been compelled to fight on the percent
age plan ever since.
