Concluding their eastern trip with
a victory which raised their totals
since leaving their home grounds TO
10 wins out of % games played. the
Tigers grabbed the sleeper for Cleve-
land where they conclude their long
road trip today. coming home tomor-
row to go up against the tail-end New

Yes, indeed, the Tigers have
been making baseball history.
When they left, they were wav-
ering between third and fourth
places with ST. Louis sailing
along in the lead Before leaving
the west they had pulled down
Cleveland and had gotten away
from the Sox. In their first east

Just now the inner circles OF base
ball are smiling over the possibility
that the Giants may be the ones to
fight 1t out with the Tigers at the
finish.
Such combination would bring to-
gether the teams headed by two OF
the closest friends the national pas
time has even known.
Ever since the old Baltimore days
when Hughie Jennings and John Nc.
Graw played together, side by side un-
der Ned Hanlon, the two have main
tanned the closest of personal rela-
tons. In the old days they used
to bunk together and were seldom
separated. The fortunes OF war which
took McGraw out of the active list
couple of years before his little pal
took a seat on the bench, saw them
parted but not in spirit. Year after
year they have kept in touch with
each other and right now each Is his
old partners most fervent admirer.

Plea for Forests

James J. Hill, the railroad king, sounded note of warning at the gov ernor's conference, when in a carefully prepared address, he declared that if immediate steps for the conservation of the forests of the Pacific coast are not taken some varieties of timber will be exhausted within ten or twelve years.
 "The Pacific coast. " he said, ''has a considerable body of merchantable standing timber, but we are consum- ing yearly three or four times as much timber as the growth restores, Our supply of some varieties will be eX- hausted within ten or twelve years. Without re-foreSting the present cen tury will see the complete wiping out of these forests.
 "The exhaustion of the coal supply is not in the definite future. Fifty years ago the annual per capita pro- duction was little over a quarter of ton, while now it is five tons."
 Regarding the unsettled lands in the west, the speaker said that prac- tically the whole interior had been settled within the past fifty years, and asked what the country will offer next.
 "It is no longer possible" he de- clared, "for us to say that Uncle Sam has farm for all of us.'"
 Mir. Hill closed with a strong plea for the conservation of the minerals United Press.

Stampede for Gold

 The creek is described as tributary of Fortymile river on the left limit, fifteen miles above the Yukon.
 No details of the strike have been received here, and the applications have come here in such shape that the recorder will have to obtain more in- formation regarding the creek before issuing the grants.
 An arrival from the Fortymile coun- try brings word that Mark Watson made the discovery, and that the creek flows into the Fortymile half mile above the "kink." The pay was said to run 10 to 15 cents to the pan, and the coarsest color cents.
