 Final Battle of Year.
 The Morris Cove baseball nine wound up most successful season yesterday morning. when they met the strong East Haven team nthe Cove diamond For the first inning the Cove nine played very loosely and 1t looked as if the East Haven nine would have things It's own way.

 In the first inning the East Haven nine hit Fowler for four singlcs, and these, coupled with three costly errors by the Cove team, netted them three runs. After that 1t was a battle for supremacy by both sides, the Cove team finally winning out by the score of to 5.

Winter Travel in Alaska

The changed condition of affairs in interior Alaska is shown by the open ing of the winter routes for travel this season. But brief time since, winter travel to the interior of Alaska in- volved almost incredible hardships, sled trips which surpassed in distance travelled all that has been recorded of the most intrepid Arctic explorers, and death on the trail as 8 not unusual in- cident.
 Today, as soon as navigation closes the stage routes open. On the snow road travel is smooth and comfortable. Roadhouses at frequent intervals fur nish accommodation for the night, and the trip is made with no more herd- ship and discomfort than similar trips in winter time over the northern part of the United States at any distance from railroad communication.
 During the summeE the government road commission has expended Sl20,0OO in the improvement of the road between Valdez and Fairbanks, now the most important route into the interior, and the one over which the mails will be taken from the outside to the camps in the Tanana district. Mir. Orr, who has charge of the stage line and the carry ing of the mails, reports that, as re- suit of the summers work, the road has been put in good condition and the worst places entirely done away with. This season travel will be over the best road ever given the northern people, and before spring opens many thous- ands of people will have travelled it.
 The change in the character of the roadhouaes is no less marked than in the character of the roads themselves. Many of those roadhouses are now fitted up with baths and other con- veniences for travellers. Winter travel into the interior of Alaska is no longer a task to tax the courage and endur- auce of the hardest of frontiersmen, but something which is now attended with the minimum of discomfort, con- sidering climatic couditious.-P..L.

lack London's New Book

Jack London has just written book of 142,OOO words entitled Martin Edeu." The Pacific Monthly has pur- chased for S7,OO0 the serial rights for this vivid story. It began in the Sep tenn Der number of The Pacific Monthly and will run for twelve months.
 "Martin Eden" is a character study the story of fghter-a fighter as a newsb0y in the alleys of San Francisco; a fighter as a rowdy in the slumsi and finally, fighter for education and cul- ture, struggling against the odds of common birth and vulgar environment, with desperation of courage that pre- sents a powerful blending of brutality of strength and sublimity of purpose. His inspiration is woman of the higher sphere of life, but his motive is the mighty impulse that animates a soul and brain born to expand until lettering ignorance is sundered and ignoble influence trampled under foot.
 It is not too much to say of "Martin Eden" that it possesses more of fascIn- ation and virillty, grips the imagination and the sympathies more keenly, and imparts more of courage, than any book produced ill years.
 Send 50 cents in stamps to The Pa ciflc Monthly and they will mail you The Pacific Monthly for six months be- ginning with the Septem Der number, in which the first tnstallment of London's story appears.

YUMA ALSO KNOWS SPARKS
Natatorium Projector Makes Another
 Failure of His Fad.

The Yuma Examiner tells of the op- erations in that town of C.. Randall Sparks, who secured $2000 worth of contracts from the business men of Yuma to patronize his natatorium, with the understanding amongst them that Sparks. was to put up swell place." The swimming pool he did open was far from satisfactory, and when the business men refused to pay their advance fee of twenty dollars each, the contracts were placed in the hands of an attorney for collection. The business men showed fight, and Sparks has now disappeared, while liens have been filed on his natatorium for unpaid labor and material bills. Sparks, early last spring, started a similar scheme in El Centro, secured numerous contracts for use of the baths, and had a cement pool con- structed, but he departed without get ting the project far enough along to collect any money. The cement con tractor was left in the lurch here.

EXCURSION TO HEADING

More than 700 people joined the ex- cursion on Thursday to the Heading of the California Development Com. pany's irrigation system, and spent a dlv Jf pleasure and requirement. of prp ..,al knowledge of the system and its resources.
 The trip was managed by the Cal exico Athletic Association. It afford ed means for many people to make their first trip to the points where the Colorado River broke from con- trol two years ago, Einging vast trouble to the c. D. Company and to the Valley. The substantial character of the long levee was noted with great satisfaction.
 Stops were made at the Upper and Lower Headings, at which latter point coffee was served and baseball game was played. While the game was in progress, one section of the excursion train took about half of the visitors to the lower end of the twelve-mile levee, and H. T. Cory acted as spokesman, pointing out the many interesting features of the con struction. From the lower end of this levee may be seen the Black Butte, from which construction has been carried on toward this point. The levee eventually is to be connec- ted with the section constructed from Black Butte.
 The eXcursionists returned to the valley towns between 10 and II o'clock at night, so well pleased with their day outing that the members of the Athletic Association were Q ;keQ to provide arcther eXcu'sion in the near future, win l.aguna Dam as the ob- jective point

 Trippet had aN off day Sunday and Imperial won by score of nine to two. El Centro had good chance to score in the first inning, but poor base running by Crumrine threw away the opportunity. The rest of the game was a continuation of hard luck for Fl Centro and hard hitting by I'm perial. Stanley was obliged to go in the box in the sixth inning, but he was hit almost as hard as Trippet. Easterly showed his class by playing a fine game behind the bat and knock ing out three singles and double. The long hit of the game was made by Harkins, who made three bag ger but was out at the home plate in trying to stretch it into a home run.

Fl Centro started out with two runs in the first inning, Nagles two errors being partly re- sponsible From that time on the re- suit was never in doubt as the Fl Centro boys had Jones sized up and were hitting him at will, the spec tacular feature of the game was the stealing of home by Harkins in the seventh inning The fast second base man reached third on a hit, steal and a putout, and with two men out took a chance on the crack San Fran cisco battery, which is playing with Calexico. Two feints got Jones off his guard, and the third time liar kins came home so fast that Barry couldn't get him. The decision wasn't even close This was the first time the feat has been pulled off in the val lev. The final score was El Centro s, Calexico O.

Why lost
My job.
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me
Cannot Satisfy Their Employers.

81 believe my fate is not unlike that
of thousands of other workers who
daily lose their places for reasons they
do not know. and probably would not
believe. When their last pay envelope
comes along, it is usually Your ser
vices no longer required" If the truth
were known. the reason for their I'M
ceremonious removal would probably
be that their usefulness was destroyed
because of some mental worry, bodily
ailment or general indispoSition. These
things, as we all know, are the most
fruitful causes of failure in all walks
of life. The battle of Waterloo was
lost because of a headache. In this
quick age our minds must be clear,
rapid. active. and free from outside
influence or worry, or else we go down
to failure with the throng of "foaters"
who go from one place of employment
to another, giving no satisfaction to
others or to themselves, constantly
growing older and less useful, with no
ambition, no will power, and no hope.
Every man requires from every other
man the best that is in him. But no
man can use or get the best that is
in himself until he is first free from
all fretful indisDositions and worries.
That was my trouble. I was full
of troubles. That's why I lost my job.
My stomach in the first place was al
ways out of order. and I was worry
ing dOOul IL anu lily IIlllQ grew C4OuQy,
and slow. I made mistakes, and grew
grouchy. That was the end.
There are thousands like me- going
about with quick lunch" faces, dys-
peptic manners. and repulsive atmos-
pheres. No employer wants such men s
services.
Take my advice A healthy stomach
is half the battle. for it keeps your
mind clear, and your face rosy. have
healthy stomach now and hold
good position, and my employer is sat
isf1ed, and so am l.
