READY FOR FOOTBALL GAME
All-star Teams of semitic and Ia.
coma Prepared for TOmOr-
rows Contest.

Tomorrow afternoon the all-star foot
ball teams of Seattle and Tacoma will
meet on the local gridiron in a game for
the championship of the two cities. Double
interest is being taken in the coming con-
test in sporting circles because Of the
fact that it is the first time that all-star
aggregations representing the two cities
have competed for supremacy on the foot
ball field
While the supporters of the Seattle play
ers are confident they will come out VIC
tors in the contest by safe margin, the
outcome of the match is problematical.
Neither aggregation as team has any
record. although the members individu-
ally are all famous on the football fields
of the state. The majority of the rival
players are high school men. who have
competed frequently this year. strength
ened by the addition of several cid college
gadiators.
Both teams have been training hard for
the game, and will have comparatively
strong interference and general combina-
ton work. The outlook. however. for the
game is that the playing OF both aggrega-
lions will be marked mostly by pretty In
dividual work. and IL the condition of the
gridiron is good. by heavy kicking for
goals from the field
The match viii begin promptly at 80
In the afternoon. The local management
has promised that the field and side lines
will be kept absolutely clear of people, ex-
cept in the case of the players, officials
and newspaper men.
Seattle will be put through the last prac-
tice today by Coach Allen. The players
rested yesterday, and declare themselves
in excellent condition for the contest.

NEW MODE OF TRAVEL.
Automobile Service Soon to he In
augurated Between Dawson
and Grand Forks.

The automobile transportation service In
the Klondike will be inaugurated about
January between Dawson and Grand
Forks, unless something unexpected hap
pens to upset the plans of the promoters
'of the novel scheme. According to the
Dawson News of December the machines
were being brought in on sleds, and on
that date were somewhere on the trail
between Dawson and Selkirk. They were
in ''knock-down' condition, but two ex-
perienced men from the factory were al
ready in Dawson, waiting to set them up
and put them in operation. The automo-
biles were started down the river on the
steamer Eldorado. but she was unable
to get through, 1t was necessary to adopt
other means to finish the journey.
Other automobiles for the Dawson White
Horse run have been ordered. according
to the statement of f., II. Clear, manager
of the company, which is known as the
Dawson Transportation Company. Out
side capital is backing the scheme. Mr.
Clear declined to affirm or deny that the
Rockefellers Were connected with the en-
terprise.
At first the route win be confined to
Grand Forks. Eventually 1t win be ex-
tended to Hunker creek. If found prac-
teal, regular service will be given the year
around. The machines running to the
creeks will carry only passengers and
light parcels.

Pioneer of Forty-Mile and Circle.

A contest Is on at Dawson for letters
Of administration on the estate OF Peter
Grant Mcdonald, one of the best-knoWn
pioneers OF the Yukon. There are two
claimants, one the dead mans partner,
Frank Buteau, and the other Colin NC
Donald, who represents heirs living IN
San Francisco.
Buteau, who claims to be creditor OF
the estate, in his application alleges the
property to be worth $4,000. He rendered
a bond for $4,000 with Tom OBrien and
Chris Sonnickson as sureties.
Mcdonald, who Is a brother-in-law or
the dead man, alleges the estate to be
worth only 5000. and filed bond of
$4,000. with Tom Chisholm and Charles p.
Mcleod as sureties.
Buteau is favored by the Yukon Pho
neers, to which order the deceased be-
longed. The alleged value of the estate.

known. consist OF a mother, two sisters
and brother. all of whom live in San

the heirs
1t was In 1887 that Peter Mcdonald
wandered into the Yukon valley in search

Mile, and his good nature. common sense
and general character made him one of
the leading miners. When Circle City
was at the height of its prosperity Nc
Donald was also a prominent figure in
that famous camp

boom, in 1897, Mcdonald was In a position

were generally looked upon as worth
much more than the figures given in the
applications for letters of administration.
