NOTES


Little Falls FANS who have ALWAYS
had a warm spot in their hearts for
Captain Templeton, were much sur
prised, at his tactics in Wednesday s
game.
They say that they have few loose
bricks in Brainerd. One Of fulisade
thrown at the Gordon car in which
Newman rode from the park, barely
missing one Of the ladies in the car.
Shouldn't have thought the Bra1nerd
fans would have got excited over a
decision, after seeing what their .Um.
pire Consldine handed the Blues,
whose work they all admitted was the
rottenest ever.
+. Brainerd has a lot of good ball fans
but they also have, we are sorry to
say, quite few poor sports.
After tie1ng the score in the ninth,
the railroaders couldr'' :. il the grief
that was sure coming to them in the
tenth.
The same play in question happened
in Tuesdays game-but favorable to
Brainerd-but that IS different. @
A number Of died in -the-wool fans
from here took in one or both games

 There three methods of development The first private exploitation shall waste time am not speaking victions aone but telling what intelligent Alaska said to The other methods first ownership and expotaton ership and private exploitation under lease.
 Not to question the Secretary competency to pass off hand on the intelligence of his fellow still his state ment IS wild for he did not very large proportion of Alaskan residents and therefore had right that
 every intelligent in Alaska" had confded opinion to him way the other Probably what he intended to convey is that every intelligent in Alaska who gave him opinion at all hostile to private explota tion This would still leave the Secretary in the position ot judge of the intelligence of those who expressed them selves to him. and perhaps he set in his ideas to think every one foolish who differed with him.
 But there is no to quibbe Secretary Fishers oddities of mind and tongue The important matter is that nearly all the discussions and opinions ndulged in and lis tened to by influential officials founded in grave mis- take. Alaska coal to them certain great deposits which are easy of and considered primarily in the relation they may bear to the needs of people outside of Alaska The bearing these deposits may have the de- veopment o Aaska varied does not enter to
