According to one late report the town
of Quillota, with a population of 10000,
has been completely destroyed.
A dispatch from Limache says that
100 bodies there remain unburied and
that the authorities up to the present
time have only been able to bury POO.
The village of San Francisco has been
totally destroyed, including the hospitals,
churches and all the public buildings.
The task of the authorities in the
present situation became easier today on
account of the fact that telegraph and
telephone communication was established
between Valparaiso and Santiago.
On Sunday, August 10, there was n

Churchill Handles Sheldon
Jackson Without Gloves

Washington, Aug. 14-Special Agent
F.-C. Churchill has handed in his re-
port on the reindeer of Alaska. He
saws that their introduction was good
thing for the food supply, but that they
are no good for transportation purpos-
es. He criticizes Sheldon Jackson for
drawing big salary from the govern
ment and also from the board OF
missions. He also charges Jackson
with dominating the school and church
affairs OF Alaska, declaring that he has
conducted both matters in high hand
ed manner.
Referring to Prot VIM. a. Kelly,
district superintendent of schools in
Southeastern Alaska, Mr. Churchill
says that his character is above re-
proach, but that he is less active in
looking after the welfare Of the native
children than his position demands.
He says that J. H. Jasberg is carried
on the rolls as an employe in the rein
deer service, but he is unable to find
where Jasberg has ever done anything.
He says that he is unable to explain
things done by the missionary employ
es. The gift OF reindeer to the mis-
sions he says is unexplainable, and calls
it notorious.

ABOUT BASE BALL

the various occupations OF commerce
