officials having in charge the hand ling of the indebtedness of eae Alaska Home Railway and the Reynolds bank, and raising of funds for the completion of the road, are now pre- pared to make a settlement Of all claims, on the following bas:3:
 Payment of the iaborers' payroll in cash.
 Creditors of the railroad company to take bonds in full payment
 Creditors of the Reynolds bank to take one half in cash and one half in bonds, with bonus of 25 per cent of the face value of the latter.
 A settlement on this basis can be consummated as soon as the neces- sary papers are drawn.
 A committee composed Of Blamey Stevens, representing the Alaska Home railway, and members repre- senting She creditors, will call on those interested as soon as possible, in order that no time will be lost in clearing matters up, to the end that work may be resumed on the rail road.
 All Of the Seattle creditors Of the Alaska Home have agreed to take the bonds of the ReynoldsAiaska Devel- opment Company in payment of their claims, and have signed papers to this effect. Local creditors have also consented to accept the bonds in liquidation of their accounts against the railroad. The indebtedness thus disposed Of will be about S75, ,000.
 The laborers' payroll will amount to at least S20,CO0, and as before stated, will be paid in cash.
 The banks indebtedness is about 5000, and most of the creditors e1- press willingness to settle on the basis of receiving half cash at once, the remainder in bonds which are known to be of value, and especially 50 with all the indebtedness cleared up ard the resumption of work on the railroad. Most of the depositors who had money on deposit when the bank closed, are local business men who are desirous of seeing road con- structed to the interior, approaching the fact that they will profit indirect ly therefrCm.
 In discussing the matter, one of the largest depositors of the bank and . loyal citizen of the town, said:
 T am certainly in favor of settling on the basis of taking one bali of the amount I had on deposit in cash, the other in bonds. l fgnre that the bonds are good investment, and ln- directly, in a business way, 1 VIII make four fold the amount 1 had on deposit, by having matters speedily adjusted and work on the railroad resumed. I think it is to the best ad- vantage of all bank creditors to ac- cept the proposition offered, rather than go through lengthy and com plex litigation. People should re- cognize the fact that Valdez needs 9 railroad to the interior, and should assist the undertaking with all thelf power. feel that the Alaska Home people are showing disposition to dc tho rirh+ tI,;,,C and thoy certainly

IT TAKES REAL GENIUS
TO MAKE A GOOD R00IER

There are rooters and l0oters
here as well as everywhere else.
The great majority OF them are
the best fellows imaginable. But
there are just n lew types OF base
ball rooters who are lrksome.
They don't know it. That's the
pathetic part of it. They mean
well. Their intentions are the
best in the world. But they are
sufferers from what might be
termed the confused ego. They
have the imaginative tempera-
mcnt.
For example, quite few rooters
imagine themselves to be humor-
lists. when they really are not
not at all; nor latle bit.
The sure-enough funny base ball
looter is rare bird. Few ball
towns have mere than two or
three of them are the most. And
they're a joy. They're about half
the fun Of the afternoon. They re

be the worlds greatest ball play
er, rarely has anything harsh to
say to the umpire. Occasionally
Larry's desire to win gets the bet
ter of him, and he registers his
protest, but, as run in a way that
wins for him consideration rather
than causes him to be spurned 1t 3
the same way with the pitchers, the
real stars making little trouble, de-
pending on tlie.r ability to win.
OF course there are exceptions TO
all rules, for there are some great
players, like Norman Elberfeld,
who are hard TO handle on the
field. With these players it is not
the desire TO show the umpire up,
but the aggressive spirit they pos
sess and the desire at all times to
win. It's rather a pleasure to see
.these snappy fellows put up an
argument. It's the player who
simply kicks tc make himself look
good who disgusts the fan, am
who generally gets the 'to the
bench" from the umpire.

STARS OF NATIONAL GAME
The EASIEST MEN TO HANDLE

Nile eases out Of ten, the stars
of the game are the easy fellows
to handle. It's the players who
are holding their jobs by an eye
lash who attempt to show up the
umpire to make themselves solid
with the crowd. The players of
aibility can make good on their
merit, while those who lack real
class must depend ON other means
for their success.
For instance, there is George
Stone, the leading swatter Of the
American league during the season
of 1906. No one can recall when
George Stone was put out of the
game for kicking. When bad
strike is called on him he takes il
philosophically. His Look may be
one of disappointment, but he re-
fralns from saying anything. Stone
'calizes that everybody makes mis-
takes. and knows that he often
strikes at balls that he couldn Il
reach with a telegraph pole.

first Is that between the catcher and
pitcher regarding the kind of balls
to be pitched, and the infielders are
interested in this, also. Upon the
kind Of pitch signaled for depends
the placing of the fielders to certain
extent, as certain hits are always
more liable to follow certain deliver

through these they catch runners nap

system used is the one for batting
and base running. BY this hit and
run, the sacrifice and the steal and

vital Importance in the close score

third bunch of signals refer to the

of the bases, where two or more field
erS arc In position to do this.
Several important things must be
considered in making up code of
signals. One of the foremost of these
Is to get the signs as plain as pos
sible without making them so con-
spicious that the opposite team will
be able to get them. In order to do
this the signals must be such that
they can be readily seen without the
one giving the opposite side chance
to guess when signals were being Civ
en- and might conceal them from
some Of the players they are intend
ed for. Hence signals should be plan
ned that they can be given by any
one from the bench or any part of
the diamond. Furthermore, it is a
good plan to have two days of giving
the same signal, as this keeps the
opposing team guessing more and
minimizes the chances of signals
being solved.

"When Rubc got in front Of one
OF their rusiies ha was knocked

about IN the way that all foot ball
fans are familiar with. But it was
new thing to Rube. He got up
with blood in his eye. 1t took the
officials aud most Of The crowd to
keep him from trying to kill some
of the Kentuckians.
"That ended Rube's foot ball ca.
