TELLS MORE ABOUT
 SCHOONER SURVIVORS

Albert B. Giblett, for long time chief engineer of the steamer Dora, now in Valdez, states that some errors crept into the accounts of the wreck of the schooner John F. Miller on the peninsula, sent in by correspondents of the Prospector. These accounts were all hearsay but were in the main correct. The additional feat ures brought by MT. Giblett describe as narrowing story of wreck as ever was chronicled in history or fiction.
 All of the ten lost men were frozen to death and swept overheard and their rigid bodies picked up off the waves. There were only three sur vivors-Capt. Kelton, the mate and one sailor. These three were brought out on the last trip of the Dora and were sent south on the Northwestern. The mate will probably lose one foot and the sailor several fingers. The other men reported to have been saved were not on the wreck but were fishermen who had been landed on shore. They saved the three sur vivors and picked up the corpses.
 The mate was frozen to bit on the fo'c'sle deck, which he had gripped to keep from being washed over board. The sailor was frozen fast to some fixture on the stern which he had gripped while conscious. Both he and the mate were unconscious when taken off. Captain Kelton was still conscious and able to care for himself when rescued, although his hands and feet were badly frozen. MT. Giblett says the captain is very intelligent man, of extraordinary courage. The mate also is an intelli- gent man but the sailors and fisher- men arc dull. Nevertheless they did very courageous work in going to the wreck in small boats to save the men on the schooner at imminent danger to their own lives in terrific storm,
 The fishermen told officers of the Dora that when rescued the mate was almost imbedded in ice and they had to chop him loose from the bit to which he had clung. The caked ice around his head was several inches thick and long icicles hung down from his whiskers. The surviving sailor was almost as thickly covered with ice.
 When the steamer. Dora was sighted tfiF, nf Rnl ermen went out in a small boat to hail her but failed to get near enough to make themselves understood. Capt. Moore of the Dora saw them but the shores of the peninsula are lined with fishermen who always stand up in their boats and wave salutes and he thought that was all. Had they built a bonfire on shore or given some un- usual signal the Dora would have brought them off on that trip.
 The survivors were brought to Sand Point by Oscar Grosvold, the merch- ant of that place, who promptly went to the rescue in his schooner with supplies as soon as the news of the wreck was received at Sand Point. Mir. Grosvold is highly praised by everyone for his rescue work.
 MT. Giblett was detached from the Dora when she came to Seward this time and ordered outside for assign ment on another steamer. He is well known in Valdez, having been chief engineer of the Dora when this was her eastern port.

FIND WRECKAGE OF
 THE CLARA NEVADA

Juneau, Alaska, March l2-M. J. Currie, lighthouse keeper at Elder Rock, brought news to this city that the Clara Nevada wreck has appeared in view off the north coast of the reef side of Elder rock, and that many bones of those who were lost on the ill-fated vessel have been picked up on the beach.
 The terrific winds of February 26 to 2S last, during an extreme neap tide, exposed the wreck to view on Feb ruary 25. The next morning the lighthouse keeper and his assistant went over and found many human bones on the beach at the lowest tide, but the wind was not as violent as it was on the day before. The wreck was not then in view.
 The Clara Nevada sank in the win ter of 1s97-9S with sixty-lve passen- gers aboard, enroute from Skagway to Seattle. No one escaped to tell the story and the body of the purser was the only one found of all who perished. The exact location of the steamer could ever be determined.
 Many wellknown Alaskans went down with the ship and diligent search was made for the bodies at the time, but nothing other than the body of the purser was ever found.
 The Clara Nevada was reported to have had large amount of gold on her at the time. there being five men from the Klondike who had made their first cleanup and were coming out with their treasure.
 The Clara Nevada was an iron craft and was originally the Hassier, of the United States coast survey service.

The indictments against Schmitz in San Francisco have been dismissed because defective. There is no doubt but Schmitz is guilty of nearly every thing charged against him, yet Honey was unable to draw valid indictment against him. Nearly all of Heney's Oregon convictions which have gone to an appellate court have been reversed. And still his news paper claquers insist that he is law yer. It seems more probable that he is successful court bulldozer and jury fixer.

NOT so BAD IN ALASKA.

The money panic and the subse- quent depression have mildewed Alas ka business a little by holding out cash that ight'otherwise be invested Tn productive industries in the terri tory but the case is not nearly so bad in this faraway colony as in the states, which means that Alaska will recover moro quickly. Alaska suffers no such commercial debility as that described by H. U. Nudge, vice president and general manager of the Rock Island railroad:
 "Without the slightest warning we were plunged from prosperity into ad- versity. year ago our system could not handle the traffic offered us. To- day we have 11,OOO idle cars. Five months ago we suffered from con gestion of freight; now we suffer from a congestion of empty cars"
 Alaska has no cloud on her indus trial sky except mining strike which seems to be fading from hamilton. Mining development continues with little illumination, prospects for rail road construction were hardly ever better and some work is now in pro- gross. Alaska will gain by the check to inflated real estate booms in the northwest because 1t will turn surplus population and capital to the territory, and in the end the subducd boom citieslwill gain also because the de- fiation of their mushroom expansion will place them on soundor basis and the stimulated growth of Alaska will add to their legitimate productiv- ity.

PLAYERS MAY NOT
APPEAL TO COURTS
opposers of Sunday Baseball Have
Submitted a Proposition to Team
Manager That Bids Fair
to Be Accepted

PASADENA, Dec. 9.-There is a
prospect that the Sunday baseball
question may be solved out of court,
as 1t were, for the members of the
mems clubs of the city who have OPP
posed Sunday baseball have submit
ted to Manager Harry Dexter of the
team a proposition which, if approved
will pave the way for a mutual I'M
Outstanding. The proposition is that
each member of the various mems
clubs will agree to offend at least
one baseball game each month or pay
in lieu thereof an equivalent of one
admission fee. In return the Pasadena
team is not to play on Sunday in this
city, but is to play its Sunday games
with the other teams on the grounds
of their out of town rivals.
1t is understood that if Manager
Dexter accepts this proposition no
further objection will be raised to the
vacating of Ipswich street, which is
needed to complete the baseball
grounds. If this proposition is not ac-
cepted it is possible that an attempt
may be made by the club to secure
a baseball park just outside of the
city limits.
Manager Harry Dexter of the Pasa-
dena ball team yesterday afternoon
presented to the Pasadena board of
trade the championship cup won last
year in the Winter ranks by the
Crown city club. The cup will be in
a glass case and kept on exhibition
at the board of trade rooms. It is
doubtful if the team will be able to
keep UP it's fine record of last year,
owing to the disheartening influence
of the Ipswich street controversy and
the fact that the Crown city boys lost
considerable money spent on grading
the grounds through the interference
of the parties living in the direction
of the park.
The cup is engraved on one side as
follows. California Winter league
baseball championship, won by Pasa-
dena, 1907 1908" On the other side
are the names of the managers and
players of the team.
Next Sunday the Pasadena club will
try conclusions with the San Pedro
team at San Pedro.

HOUR OF HILL CLIMB
SET AT 1 O'CLOCK

On account of the difficulty in reach
ing Riverside from Los Angeles by
motor car or train as early as o'clock
in the morning, the hour for the hill
climb on Saturday has been advanced
to 1 o'clock in the afternoon. This will
allow of motorists driving from here
after daylight in the morning and
reaching Riverside in time for lunch,
thereby avoiding the necessity of stop
ping over night and giving up part of
Friday for the event.

NOTABLE WORK PUBLISHED
BY PASADENA SCIENTIST

1.-THE Physical Basis of Civilization"
is a good and readable book from the
pen of 7. w. Heineman, a well known
resident of Pasadena. 1t deals with
two problems that throughout all ages
have interested intensely the thought
full of our species. First how it has
come about that man, alone of all liv-
ing creatures, stands and moves erecti
and, second, how it is possible to ac-
count for the vast difference that ex-
lists between human and the most adj
vanced brute intelligence.
These two problems are discussed
from the standpoint of the most recent
and enlightened scientific research, and
their consideration brings the author,
after the establishment of his main
thesis, to a survey of the main Socio-
logical conundrums of the day. He is
carried and carries his reader to an
analysis of the causes that have
brought about so striking a difference
in character and habits between man
and woman, and it is shown that while
the conditions of primitive life natural
ly selected as the surviving masculine
type that which was fitted for war, it
also selected as the surviving feminine
type that which had the characteristics
we have learned to associate with the
most exalted ideals of WomanhOod.
The conclusions reached in this con-
nection are pre-eminently compliment
tary to woman, if the term "compli-
mentary'' can be used with reference
to an evolution that is shown to have
been the necessary sequence of cause
and effect.
The foundation of the work, how
ever is the demonstration that two
small anatomical notifications, result
ing from inevitable evolutionary devel-
opment, determined the adoption of the
upright posture and fashioned man as
we know him today.
The Revolutionary Moment
There came a moment at which our
brute ancestors were forced to aban-
don the horizontal and adopt the up
right attitude.
They must have been forced to do
this, for the change-the most revolu-
tionary in the history of life in the
universe-brought with it unspeak-
able disadvantages to the human race.
The bones, ligaments, tendons and mus
cles which had screened and protected
the vital parts SO long as the body
maintained it's horizontal position
thereafter exposed instead of protect
ing them The bones, ligaments. mus
cles which had hitherto firmly support
ed the viscera, reproductive organs,
ETC., thereafter left them loosely de-
pendent, unsupported.
Particularly was this the case with
the collaborating female. The foetal
burden, no longer near the ground and
distributed horizontally over the en-
tire length of the abdominal muscles,
was compelled to take up position in
which it caused an exceptionally in
