ATHLETIC SPORTS
 FURNISH MUCH FUN
Varied Program is Run off Successfully With Assis-
 tance of MulIigan.

Everybody in town lined up along Mckinley street to witness the ath. letic program which was started inn. mediately after the services at the fire house. It was great moment for all With athletic ability, for some who have not and for Mister Mulligan who was ambitious, persistent and not altogether unsuccessful for he won second prize, in the old mans race and he furnished amusement for everyone. The events were run off under direction of Marshal of the Day Banta and Judges Wulff and Dang.
 In the horse race, Mike Johnson's mount bolted the track and so Alex Singletary won rather hollow vic- tory. Dr. Boyle first breasted the tape i'll the race for old men but he was disqualified because he could not prove his age, the required limit be- ing fifty years or more. There was no packing contest nor was there any tug-of-war because the men of the Tenth Infantry were out on the broad boosom of the Pacific, aboard the Transport Crook. The prize for this event goes to the ball team.
 Capt. Bess of the base ball nine de- clares that he was handicapped in the fat mans race as he carried about twenty pounds more flesh than the winner but on the whole everyone is satisfied at the result which follows {:
 Old Mans Race-5O yards-A. J. Meals, 1st prize. Mulligan, 2nd.
 Hurdle Race-80 yards--H. J. Schultz, 1st prize, G. R. Manthey 2nd.

VALDEZ BOWL WIN
 FROM SEWARD TEAM

The Valdez bowling team defeated the Seward team in the evening on the Olympic alleys by total score of 2344 to 1885-five men on each team. It is fair to the Seward men to say that none of them bowled his average game, al Though Pitman made high score for the evening-19s. Bowling on strange alleys handicapped the Seward men and the Valdez alleys are not as true as those at Seward, q fact known to everyone who has bowled at both places. The members of the winning team each received from the Olympic box of twenty five cigars of his own selection. Fol lowing is the score:

Anthon y Snyder Is Sought

Back in Waterbury, Conn.,, q moth- CT is prostrated with grief because of the long silence of her son, Anthony Snyder, who left home last winter, and who is now supposed to be in AL aska. Young Snyder wrote from Seattle that he was going to Fair banks and the investigation recently started by his mother has developed the fact that he departed for Valdez as first class passenger on the Northwestern, March 24. An agent of the mother wrote the Alaska Steamship Company and the com munication has been forwarded to Al. Grigsby, local agent. Mir. Grigs- by has been unable to find trace of Snyder in Valdez, Snyder did not go into Fairbanks on the Orr stage line but he must have landed here as tho Northwestern made no stop on the way mp.

COUNCIL DEMANDS
 BUSINESS METHODS
Many Bills Fail of Approval Because No Acquisitions
 Accompany Them.

l Unbusiness-like methods of trans acting municipal business formed the burden of Tuesday's council meet ing proceedings and from now on these methods will be less slipshod, nor will any bills be allowed unless they are accompanied bo acquisitions signed by some one with authority to make purchases for the town. During the discussion of the manner in which supplies needed by the town have been ordered there was no suggestion of any thing wrong further than that the methods in vogue were not such as prevail in a private business and that they permit little or no check.
 It seems that some time ago it was decided that nothing should be or dered unless n acquisition accom- panied the order but this regulation has been honored more in the breach than in the fultillment. Scarcely one of the numerous bills coming up for approval last night had any requisi- tions attached and although most of them found a sponsor in one or the other of the councilmen they were referred back to the various business houses with instructions that requisi- tions accompany them when they next appear before the council. All | bills properly vouched for will be all | lowed at the next council meeting as special order of business.
 The council formally accepted the glacier dyke and ordered that Con- tractor A. J. Meals be paid what is due him on the job. The dyke totals 6,256 feet and the total cost was close to $7,S0O, the greater part of which has been paid.
 The bill providing tor a scavcnger and also for the licensing of any per son desiring to act as scavcngcr was passed and it will become law after l publication. The license is fixed at $25 d year and the official scaVcngcr will be determined by a call for bids. The ordinance will also provide regu lations governing the sanitary condi- tions of premises and will regulate and other garbage.
 | That portion of the town known as "Alley" again came in for dis cussion, it having been recalled that a month or more ago the street and light committee had been instructed to have some telephone poles and cabins removed from what was origi- nally intended as a thoroughfare. Councilman POot, one of the street committee, reported that those whose cabins are in the alley assert that they are there rightfully and that the plat is wrong. Mayor Brown believes differently, however, and said that the plat is the court of last resort. The street committee was given power to act and ordered to take i'm mediate steps to have the buildings moved to where they belong.
 The council also decided that the Alley is not sufficiently isolated and ordered that the owners of the cabins -in the section be notified to fence the place in on the Keystone avenue side and construct n gate, as has been done on the Broadway side. This is in accordance with requests from res idents on Keystone who for some time have been complaining of the indifference to decency displayed by the residents of the towns tenderloin.

PART
 IS BIC SUCCESS
Dedication of Hall and Pa rade of Apparatus Greet
 ed With Applause.

All that was anticipated and then some, is the popular verdict with re- gard to the fire departments partici- patton in the Fourth of July celebra- tion. And the firemen are happy, for their efforts were rewarded, not only with much appreciation but also with gratifying financial results. It was nearly 10 o'clock when the | fire fighters and their apparatus left fire headquarters for the parade and they made fine showing, especially when the fast run was made down Mckinley. It was thrilling enough for all and . little tCo fast for several of the flremen who, on foot. were ex- pected to keep up with the band wagon.
 Immediately after the firemen re- turned to headquarters Mrs. Ed. Wood, chosen by popular vote to pre- side at the dedication ceremonies, ar rived in a four-in-hand. Following the invocation by Rev. MT. Newton, Fire Chief Quinn, as master of cere- monies made brief speech introduce ing Mrs. Wood who then unfurled the flag as the chorous sang. Mrs. Wood also interrupted-at the proper time Mayor Fred Brown by sounding the first alarm ever pealed by the new bell while the crowd cheered.
 Mayor Browns address was one of praise for the fire department mem- bers for the energy displayed in giv- ing to Valdez a department second to none in Alaska and the equal if not the superior to any town of like size in the States as well. He spoke of the growth of the town during the ten years of it's being and prophesied great things for it's future. Mayor Brown then introduced the speaker of the day. Judge Murray, annt ,nced as the "Silver tongued orator from New York who has been hard at work pre- pairing his speech"
 Judge Murray arose to the occasion created by Mayor Brown and started things off by creating laugh. Later he became serious and made a strong plea that Alaska be given some of the rights it is entitled to under the in- depreciation of what the Fourth of July stands for. The speaker was frequently interrupted by cheers.
 The singers were Miss Floy Smith, singing the solo part in the Star Spangled Banner" Mesdames. Miller, Carvey and Brown of Valdez and Ellsworth of Seward, Misses Osland, Coles, Boyle and Brown, Messrs. Roberts, Shaw of Valdez and Bouck- aert of Seward. The program con- sisted of "Columbia the Gem of the Ocean," My Country tis of Thee," '"The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and the Star Spangled Banner"
 Following the close of the dedica- tory services the flremen lay back on their oars until evening when once again they were greatly ir evidence at the grand ball. The government building had been decorated with masses of bunting by the firemen and was bright with electricity, the light being q contribution on the part of the Alaska Water, Light & Telephone Company. Music was furnished by the Mandolin Club. The ball was largely attended and the fire depart ment realized considerable sum from the refreshment booth.
 Everyone had good time and it was not until late in the morning that the musicians packed up their instru- ments and the crowd bid a reluctant farewell to the enjoyment.

VALDEZ WINS IN
 BASE BALL GAME
With Exception of a Spasm in Third Inning Seward
 Never Had Lookin.
Valdez. IA Seward, 2

S~AASNs " SS"dIo1
 The foregoing gives the result, but does not tell the story of the long talked of base ball game between Valdez and the town on Resurrec tion bay. It was good baseball, and the men from Seward fought hard against superior team and they played a gentlemanly game. Of course there were some complaints against decis- ions but admitting that in one or two cases Valdez received slightly the best of it at the hands of one or the other of the empires, the final score ia so decisive as to leave no room for speculation as to what might have been the result if the decisions in question had been the other way
 AS matter of fact, Seward is en- titled to only one run for the other six were the result of plays that have no connection with base ball. Conley who started in as first basemen for Valdez is responsible for four of the Iuns and Manthey for two. It was only once or twice during his .+,,ree inning occupancy of first that Conley managed to hold on to the ball and when he did he did not know what to do with it, allowing four men to cross the plate in the third none of whom had right to reach first. Two runs counted because Conley after Hong hesitation tried for the man run ming from third with two out, when he had ample time t get the batter and ei.d the inning; instead he got neither.
 Manthey allowed two runs by doing the same thing after he went in to pitch in place of Rainey, who was being roughly treated by the Sew ardites. Manthey pitched good ball and his errors in judgement can be forgiven because of this.
 Captain Bess, took Conley out of the game at the end of the third and sent Buck to the station, the latter playing good ball. The team owes q whole lot to Bess who knows the game in all it's fine points and who played the position of catcher like the old tine professional that he is. His throwing to second was one of the features of the game and was re- sponsiblC for the downfall of Sew ards hopes in many an occasion Seward failed to purlion single sack and this fact alone shows that Bess was in the game.
 All of the Valdez team were handy with the stick, all except two getting at least one base hit, and all except two crossing the plate at least once.
 Bradford, Bush, Speck, Tibbitts and Hill ran bases like old timers.
 Nearly everyone in town was out at the grounds when the game was called and it Was good thing, for the rooters who came over from Sew ard were there all the time when it came to making noise and they re- fused to quiteven when they must have realized that there was not so much as a forlorh hope for the boys in green and white. The crowd was so big that ground rules prevailed thus cut ting down the long hit average mater ially.
 The grounds were in fair condition considering the brief time elapsing since the spot was covered with brush but many of the errors chalked up against the players are really due to the roughness of the diamond and also of the outHeld. But taken all in all 1t was great game as the follow. inp box score shows.

ROCKEFELLER INSTITUTE.
Will Install a Vacuum Operating
Room Next Year.

NEW YORK, July 22-The Rookie
feller Institute will install next year
a vacuum operating room such as has
been exhibited there by Professor
Sauerbruek, of Marburg, Germany.
This operating room provides for op-
erations in atmosphere free from mi
crobes. The operating surgeon Will
have the pressure of the air upon the
exposed parts of the subject much
less than in an ordinary room.
Prof. Sauerbruck used dog to
illustrate the usefulness Of the cabi-
net. The dogs head was stuck
through hole in the side OF the
cabinet so that he could breathe into
the outside room. His body remain
ed inside the cabinet on table. Two
surgeons went inside the cabinet, af-
ter which it was hermetically sealed
except for an arrangement provided
to let in as much air as the surgeons
needed for themselves. This came
through a water cask which purified
it in its passage.
The lungs of the dog which laid
bare inside the cabinet so that tuber-
culosis serum could be applied direct
w for experimental purposes. 1t IS
asserted that the use Of the vacuum
operating room will make it much
safer for the subject on the table
since the exposed parts will be much
less exposed to germs in the air.
Moreover, it is claimed that the
vacuum makes it safer to remove
part of lung infected with tuber-
culosis germs. Besides the lungs can
be kept exposed to the surgical eye
a longer time while the subject goes
on breathing just as easy as II the
whole operation were inside an ordi-
nary operating room.
1t is said that the operating cabinet
to be installed in the Rockefeller In
stitute will be much larger than the
cabinet brought over and exhibited
by Prof. Sauerbruck.
