Sealers Desert.

Alter knocking about the Pacific ocean for seven days in a dory, four men, named Bud Davis, Dan Moran, Albert Manning and Jack Peterson, landed at Kodiak. They claimed to have been lost from the sealing schooner Acapulco, of Vic :oria. while out sea otter hunting.
 There were SIX similar crews out from the schooner and whether they got back to the boat or not Is not at present known.
 The schooner Was reported to have cleared from Victoria to Aca puico, Mex'co, but she actually sailed from Drake's bay, near San Francisco, March IS, intent on peiagic sealing, or any otter profit able enterprise Ina. might come Ter way Which Is evident from the fact oi seven boat crews being sent along shore 10 i.unl sea otter.
 Ihis Is the second party this sel- son that las landed from foreign sealing ss;hooncrs, and though III both cas. they claiined to have i'e II loss, Il very much looks like deseriioh.

He was very much pleased to find the ca tle in such good order upon bis re- turn, and everyone is very much pleased to notice the improvement that has been made in the interior oi the farm house since the arrival of Mrs. Ross.
 Traffic in the Inlet is quite brisk Hardly q day passes without some vessel appearing, and 1t really be- gins to look like Puget Sound or San Francisco Bay there is SO much steamer and schooner travel There are seven steamers ana launches on the Inlet and two schooners, and quite number bt sloops. It was the suppositior that with the railroad reaching the arm steamer and boat travel would be thing of the past, but if this summer is any criterion more business is being carried or than any of the SIX summers pre- ceeding, to my knowledge.
 New mining claims are bein. found all around the Inlet. and although no big strikes or bonan, zas, there is sure steady work going on, which is more beneficial to the country than any sudden rush. and by degrees the Cook Inlet sec tion will regain what it lost by steamship booms in former years and capital will be anxious to hlAi Continued on Feurtb Page

BREEZES FROM FANS

Players Fiaht-Joe Tinker and

ais, engaged in fist fight before yes
terday's exhibition game at Bedford,
Ind. They were separated and played
in the game as though nothing had hap
pened. The cause of the ruction was
not made known.
Brush League Tactics.-Dubuque is
adopting brush league tactics to win
out by importing two players from the
Iowa league. Snapper Kennedy is
manager and second baseman for OF
tumwa, which won the pennant, and
Stillman is the Ottumwa pitcher who
has been drafted into the National
league. Neither, in the nature of
things, can be regular members OF the
Dubs. However. Rock Island has no
kick coming on that score if Dubuque
has no qualms of conscience over it.
We have evidently been beaten fairly
thus far and have nothing TO be asham-
ed of.
Question of SaIaries.-If attendance
figures are so bad in some towns as
has been the talk, there Is reason TO
believe that the matter of salary limit
will be a live topic of discussion at the
coming league meeting. No club has
made any pretense of observing 1t the
past year. and barring Cedar Rapids
and Springfield, all the clubs have car
ried more expensive teams this season
than they did last. Donnelly, not be-
ing in the fight for the pennant, has not
spent the money he did in 1904, but
neither has he had the attendance, and
unless the sales he has reported are
bona fide ii is doubtful if. the Spring
field club will come out ahead.-Bloom
