 The line of ancient and buried sea beach, which lies at the foot of the hills back of Nome, buried under from 40 to l2O feet of gravel, clay and muck, in most cases frozen, is and has been for over two years the most absorbing top ic of interest to the people of Nome, miners, lawyers and merchants alike. 1t is usually known as the third beach, and very properly so, for it was the third to be discovered in point of time and is the third as regards location, from the first one or present sea beach.
 A Nome papor says that at Fair banks, within the past year two men have died of hydrophobia, contracted through an attack from the teeth of malamute, the last one being that of butcher on Fairbanks creek, who knew from the symptoms of the other vic- tim that he had contracted the fearful disease.

 There is no state or territory in the Union where the miner does not re- ceive greater recognition, considering the magnitude of his industry, than in Alaska. There is time coming, and that soon, too, when Alaska will make demands iu this respect which will startle the nation. The achievements in the last ten years are giving the world slight vision of the greatness of her chief ndustry-mining True, Alaska has a representative in con- gress, but when Gov. Hoggatt visits this part of Alaska this summer, he will, perhaps, understand the tenor of sentiment in regard to territorial gov ernment. This northern landproduces strong, able-bodied, energetic and in- trepid men, used to hardship and pri- vation. When they come for relief from evils overshadowing their princi- pal industry, it will not be the plaint of sickly, timorous and insipid weak lings. They will come with the stamp of manhood and greatness, and the tone will be unmistakable.-Nom Nugget.

 The judges in Alaska have all the power. They grant liquor licenses and inquire into the character of the. men who receive them.

 We acknowledge the receipt of the report of Special Agent Georgeson in charge of Agricultural experiment. sta tions in Alaska for 1906, together with Bulletin No. 3; in which his assistant at Henai tells how to make nay desplIe the lack of sunshine and without re- sort to the silo process. The pubhca- ton shows that a gratifying progress is beingmade by way of demonstrating the fact that there are large tracts of land in Alaska adapted to cultivation and possessed of a soil in which most agricultural and horticultural products can be successfully grown and ma tured. Prof. Georgeson is doing good work, and one which will ultimately prove that Alaska is susceptible of be- ing made to produce agricultural pro- ducts adequate to the support of population ofseveral millions of people.

Philip Takes First Two
Games.

The Philip ball team has won
another splendid victory, and this
time they have triumphed over one
of the crack teams of the state
1t all came about in the following
manner.
When the Gas Belt Exposition
management at Pierre was casting
about for star attractions they hit
upon a series Of ball games. They
wanted snappy series and decided
to bring together two of the best
teams in this end of the state.
Naturally they selected Sturgis. a
team with an enviable record in
the Black Hills League this year.
Then it occurred to the capital city
fans that it would be especially
clever to bring this crack team OF
the Hills against the Philip team
thereby insuring fast game and
the possibility of a defeat for the
Philip team. A purse of three
hundred dollars was offered and
both teams accepted.
Pierre settled back comfortably
and waited. anticipating the cn-
joyment Of watching the down fall
of the PHILIPPIANS who had three
times this season brought humiliat-
ing defeat to the Capital City nine.
But the stars had ordained that
Pierre was not to have her revenge.
Not yet. but soon. Perhaps.
The first game Of the series was
played Tuesday and resulted in a
score of I to 3 in favor of Philip.
Philip scored two home runs and
struck out ten men. Sturgi S
struck out five men. ,Jorgcnson S
batting was a feature Of the game.
The second game was played on
! Wednesday afternoon. This time
Philip took the 3 and Sturgis
cornercd n handsome, but ordinary
sized goose egg. Several thousand
Gas Belt Exposition visitors wit
messed the game and pronounced it
one of the best ball contests ever
pulled off on South Dakota dia-
mond. 1t was certainly great
game.
