 The plan is to have Alabama and How ard meet on the afternoon of October IS. the college day of the Alabama State Fair association. The entire day will be given over to college athletics and it is thought quite fitting that Alabama and Howard should come together In the afternoon.

Irwin Wilhelm the most successful pitcher on the local staff, failed to turn his ninth straight victory yesterday.
 Prior to yesterday he had won eight straights. Even though he failed, his record is little impaired in consequence, He had to lose sometimes. If he won them all, he would have to leave Dixie again

Harry Vaughn flashes the opInion that if Billy Smith had only held on to Neil Ball in place of Castro. his people would be leading by half dozen games today in place of choking to death on Memphis dust. There's something to this dope at that, as Ball now outranks any shortstop- per in Dixie, while Castro is overshadowed by several-and one good timely walloper can win an awful lot of games In league as evenly matched as this one happens to be.-NashVille Tennessean.

going resolution has already produced
results more far-reaching in the same
length Of time than was anticipated by
the most sanguine. Every camp in
Nevada and most of the mining towns
Of Utah and California instantly joined
the movement and the Chamber of Com

congratulation from every direction.
Meetings are being held this week in
various mining centers and the demand
made upon congress for an investigation
of the smelter trust.
The action of the Chamber of Com
merce was heard from in Washington
Director of the Mint Leach called to
Washington an official high in the ranks
Of the trust and secured promises that
the abuses complained of would be recti-

forthwith sent to Goldfield and are to-

A party of Goldfield operators, among
whom was Geo. F. Won Polenz made the
trip to Rawhide in an auto last week.
and after spending several days inspect
ing the camp, returned with glowing ac-
counts of the showing in tn enew camp.
Mr.. Won Polenz took a number of photo
graphs of the camp and it's surround
ings, and brought back specimens that
are plastered over with gold, some Of
them showing nuggets as large as
good sized pea. They found the camp
very active, there being about 1000 peo-
pie in the town, living mostly In tents,
though there are several frame build
ings up and a number more in course or
construction. Building operations have
been hampered by the inability to OBJ
tain lumber, but it is coming in more
freely now, and few months will see
a substantial town built up.
In regard to the reports that have
been sent out that people were starving
at Rawhide, Mr.. Won Polenz said: The
statements about there being short
age of food supplies at Rawhide nave
been grossly exaggerated. as there are
a number of stores there well supplied
with goods, and while there is undoubt-
edly a shortage of actual money IN tne
camp it is no worse than other places
We found no difficulty in buying any,
thing we wanted, and John 5. COOK scrip
was freely accepted and cash given III
change for 1t when purchases we're
made. Prices for some things are even
cheaper than they are in Goldefild.
.'The formation of the district con-
tinued Mr.. Won Polenz, ''is very similar
to Goldfield. There are the same large
porphyry dykes intersected by quertz
lodges, and the showing at the present
stage of development is about the saH'e
