SPEEDWAY FOR TULSA.
Perry Johnson Has Built Half Mile
Track.

Citizens of Tulsa
Through the kindness of NJ. b.
Baird | have secured the privilege of
constructing a speedway on the VI. b.
Baird property east of the Katy
tracks and northeast of Tulsa. which
is to he sixty feet wide and about 1-2
mile long. Owing to the failure of Sc
curing a race track | have provided
this means for lovers of horse flesh
to see what Tulsa can produce.
Owing to the cost Of construction
and of keeping the course in good
condition. | ask that those owning
sreed horses and wishing to use a
speedway compensate me to the am
cunt of actual expense of construction
and maintenance.
Hoping the sport loving people of
Tulsa will respond TO this call. I am.
Respectfully yours.
PERRY JOHNSON.

FIGHT IS ALL OVER

The termination of the term of ohce of Gov. Brady will cause genuine satis- faction to the people throughout Alas ks. Tt crowns with success one Ut the longest and most strenuous battles 8 people ever fought to free itself from an undesirable official. That it ended in victory is because it was made in good faith, with motives ,tinged with selhshness, and for the common good. It is one of those things that come just sufficiently frequent in life to demon s,rate that it pays to persist in we'll doing.
 The fate which has overwhelmed Gov. Brady is that which must in the end come to every public servant who misrepresents, abuses and dictates to those whom he is supposed to serve, as Gov, Brady has done with the people or Alaska. He has brought his down fall upon himself.
 The Daily Alaskan has done it's very best in the fight against Gov. Brady. It has been untiring and 1t has exerted all i-g s,raDgtb but it has done all with an eye single to the public well fare. It has no personal feeling in the matter, and it's fight against him has now come to an end. Its reioic- ing is with the multitude whose best interests have been served. It Is in spite of, not because of, the fact that they were served by the humilia- tion of an old man.

X SATISFACTORY APPOINT
 MENT

The appointment of Daniel D. Pullen, of this city, Ito a academy at the West Point military college, by President Roosevelt, has given great satisfaction to the people of Skagwsy. It is an hon. or to the town and to Alaska that is not to be regarded lightly. It is also tt- ting reward to the splendid efforts Of 8 very superior young man to gain an ed ucstiou for himself under trying condi- tions, such an one as always meets with deserved favor. However, there is none who know Dee Pullen but are confident that in the end the presidents greater service in this act will be to the army aud the country.
 President Roosevelt could not have secured a more representative Alaskan for West Point than Dee Pullen. He came to Skagway in its earliest days while a little school boy in short pants, Here hc has lived and made most ot the money, by working during vacations, with whict to defray his expenses at theUniversity of Washington, where he has spent five years, two in the prepar- storv school and three in the university proper.
 The people of this city had learned to regard him very highly because of his industry and manly conduct before he went away to pursue the paths that lead 10 learning. They have followed his course at the university with great interest. His record as an athlete, made in the football team, rowing crew and track team, while he ranked among the very best in his classes, has served to increase interest in him. His career at West Point and in the army will be followed by many friends who wish him well and have confidence in him.

NEW YORK, Feb. IL. - Some
highly interesting figures are con-
tanned In the statistics just pub

automobile industry in the United
States. According to the figures
the number of automobile manufac-

reached 70, with an aggregate CAPT

of machines produced in these fac
tories last year was 29,500, valued

one which Is entitled to leading

YOUTHFUL WIZARD OF THE CUE WHO
WON THE WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-William
Frederick Hoppe, billiard champion
of the world, aged 10, is a man in
thought, yet boyish and unassum-
ing. When he arrived from Europe
after defeating Maurice Vignaux,
the young American cueist was
greeted Ev a lively crowd of en-
thusiastic billiardists, who inform
ed him that both George Slosson
and Jake Schaefer were hot on his
track to capture his well earned
honors.

said, providing they put up for
felt and make the terms of the
matches agreeable. l fell that my
experience wish Vignaux has given
me more confidence, and If either
of my countrymen beats me he will

The match between Hoppe and
Slosson will be played early in
March in New York.
There was nothing about the
lads demeanor to impress the cas-
ual observer that the young fel.
low had won the highest honor a
billiardist could achieve. The morn
ing after his arrival in New York
accompanied by his brother. Frank,
who was his manager during the
European trip, and his father, the
champion paid a visit to Costello's
billiard rooms. This is the place
where Hoppe did most of his pre-
paratory work for the Partisan
match, and, before the camera, he
re-enacted the game.
