Sir Malcolm added a tribute to DR..
Wickham of Paris, who was the pio-
neer in this form of treatment, and
who initiated the use of the metal
screen. without which radium would
be dangerous to use. 1t is already
beyond question that some skin af-
fections can be cured by radium rays.
For example, birthmarks, pigmented
moles, and hairy moles yield very
readily to treatment by radium, and
in many forms of chronic eczema. for
which the most varied forms of treat
ment have been applied, rapid cure
has been effected.
The most notable disease for which
radium may be regarded as a specific
remedy is rodent ulcer
There are twelve cubicles at the
institute, and it will be possible to
treat some thirty patients at a time.

ID0RAh'S TACTICS
D|SAPPROvED OF
Park River Wrestling Fans
y Wroth Over the Skin Game
Pulled Over on. Them

Park River wrestling fans, accord
Ing to reports received from that city
are much dissatisfied with the Per-
kins- Chaaender fasco pulled of in
that city week ago. They concede
the fact that Challender Is one of
the best wrestlers in the mat game
today but they do not concede the ac-
ton Of Doran in getting the "Con-
ductors to, that city for the purpose
! a. they claim, Of putting Perkins out
Of the running.
The following in regard to the
match appeared In the Park River
News Gazette:
1T appears also that Doran Is dis
inclined to take any chances Of los
ing his title. Perkins is an amateur
wrestler barely 81 years Of age.
When he tried to arrange a match
with Doran the latter gave him to
understand that he would not take
him on himself but II he would de-
feat his training partner, whom he
called Sullivan, q Crystal man, he
would then meet him. Perkins was
satisfied with such conditions and al
though subsequent movements Of Do
ran aroused some suspicion, they
were not believed in until the de-
velopments of Saturday evening dis
closed that they had been we'll found
ed. After the arrangements for the
match were made the Conductor"
was secured to appear under the name
Of Sullivan and clear the field for
Doran, Perkins being represented to
Challender as mysterious profess
sional laying for Doran.'
"The match terminated in two
straight falls each of about two min
utes' duration. Perkins was no
match for the 172-pound champion,
.as he Is considerably lighter and only
an amateur. The attendance would
have been much better too, had the
fans known that they would see such
q celebrity as the Mysterious Con-
ductor,' as It was, the total receipts
were ST. After the first fall Chal-
lender virtually admitted that the sit
uation had been misrepresented to
him as he expected a contest with
some veteran mat artist.
I. seAll lovers Of fairness in sport!
dom strongly disapprove Of Doran's
method Of eliminating legitimate as
pirants for the wrestler's crown and
assert that he should show more
readiness In defending his title. Dor
an himself 10 outclassed by Challen-
der"

Doom were able to sit on the bench
everything might change quickly, but
there Is no chance Of that for quite
some time yet.
Charley was confident that he
would be able to be on the bench by
this time, but DR.. Hogar, the club
physlcian, declares that Doom will
not be able to go near the bench
or do anything for at least two weeks.
This practically means that the Phil
lies will start on their western trip
without Charley.

KELLY At LAST
GOES TO PIRATES
Gibson Couldn't Hold o'Toole
and Dreyfuss Had to Get
Kelly

st. Paul, Aug. 26.-After following
the st. Paul club for nearly q week.
Scout Billy Murray of Pittsburg, sue
ceeded in inducing Manager Kelley of
the Saints. to allow Catcher Bill Kel-
ly, battery partner of the famous
O'Toole, to Join the Pittsburg team at
once.
It was Manager Kelley's intention
to keep the backstop until Jack
Flynn. who was purchased from the
Pirates several weeks ago, Joined the
team, but the Pittsburg officials plead
ed so hard for Kel that the manager
decided to let him go with a promise
that Flynn would greet the club when
they arrive in Indianapolis today.
Kelly left last night for New York.
When Barney Dreyfuss completed
the famous purchase of OToole and
Kelly he was fully satisfied to allow
Kelly to remain with the club until
the end of the season, believing his
catcher, George Gibson, who Is sup
posed to be one Of the greatest in the
game, would have no trouble in hold
ing the bewildering slants Of the Red
Top.
Soon Found Out.
When O'Toole reported he changed
his mind, for when Marty warmed up
and got his shooters in working order
1t was found that even the peerless
Gibson was unable to hold him. This
came as big surprise to Manager
Clarke. for in Adams, Camnitz and
iefield the Pirates have trio of the
greatest fingers In the game, and Glib
son had no trouble with them.
With O'Toole 1t was different, for
he soon learned that the former Saint
had little something more than any
other pitcher Gibson had ever han
died. and his experience dates back
to the time the American league was
formed
Not wanting to announce the true
state of affairs, Manager Clarke said
his reasons for not working OToole
was that Marty had sore arm, but
at the same time he was burning up
the wires to Manager Kelley Of the
Saints in an effort to land the receiv-
ing end Of the great battery.
Popular in st. Paul.

MINING NEWS

There is very little doubt but that work on the consolidated Perseverance and Oxford properties will start up with full speed early next spring This the Sourdough has on the best authority.
 It had been feared that legal difficult ties due to the settlement of the es tate of Col Sutherland might delay the actual work for year or more, but there is no real ground for apprehen- sion. All the properties are to be con nected underground, and the ore taken to mills on the beach.
 The milling of ore will be commenced at the Kensington properties this spring. The railroad and the dock have been completed.
 It will probably be eight months be- fore the work of taking out ore in con siderable quantity will start at Eagle River. A number of new drifts are be- ing cut, and about two-thirds of year will be required for dead work.

GROWTH OF RUBY CITY

Telling of the rapid growth of Ruby City on the lower Yuko on, P. McDon- nell, an old resident of Valdez, has written to George Krau under date of September 20, 1911. Mcdonnell de- parted for the interior last spring. The town was growing at remarka- ble rate, two or three buildings being started every day, says Mcdonnell.
 Two saloons had opened and three more had applied for licenses. The town had two newspapers, ten stores, ten restaurants and four cigar stores, each of which have two pool tables.
 The N. c. Company brought down 300 tons of grub from Fairbanks just before the close of navigation but had not opened store.
 The prices of food supplies are req sonable. Ham 35 cents; bacon, 40 cents; sugar 121a; cream, $7 a case; potatoes 121a; tomatoes, $750; and others in proportion Eggs were 75 cents a dozen. Lumber was selling at from $50 to $8O thousand. Four saw mills had been installed and were work ing full capacity.
 Mcdonnell says there are between 500 and 100 people in the camp.-Val- deg Miner.

A PIous HOPE

c. R., Reed has received letter from c. R. Koon, formerly of Juneau, from Ruby City, Of that place Koon says:
 n.As yet I dare, not call this mining camp, true there is little so-called pay ore on Long creek, also Glen Gulch, but as yet nothing te justify the town that was built here Everyone is living in hopes andstherconditions are favorable for 2 camp, if prospecting will produce the gold, for there certainly will oe lots of work done here this winter.
 We have two. newspapers, tele- phone and telegraph connections, we have, in fact, everything but the gold, and as heard person remark the oth. CT day, we are bound to get that-God would not break so many people all at once. .'

NORTHWESTERN IN STORM

That Postmaster Kindell $ wireless apparatus is working well these days was proven last night says the Skag way Alaskan While at the receiver at F o'clock midnight, MT. Kindell picked up a message from Captain Hunter on board the Alaska Steam ship Company's steamer Northwestern, while off Sitka, northbound to the eff feet that the weather was very thick with severe gale blowing. The mes sage was directed to the Seattle office of the flask Steamship Co.,, via As toria, Oregon.
 Continuing the message, the opera tor said that they were compelled to heave to, and that the waves were running mountain high, and that the ship was rolling so heavily that he could not keep his. point in place -,on his receivings instrument. .sr&,
 MT. Kinden also heard the Alameda talking with the former vessel, while the former vessel was out at sea, about three hundred miles south of Ketchikan, northbohnd. The Northwes- tern operator asked the Alameda, .,' to take the message and dHTelay 1t to As toria, for fear that that station should fail to receive it direct from him.

TENAKEE LITIGATION

The dock at Tenakee will be very much in evidence at the coming January term of the district court at Juneau.
 Last spring suit was brought against John Eidsen, the owner of the dock, for four hundred dollars for money bor- rowed following his conviction and fine for selling liquor there. In Sep tember, J. N. Schnider brought a suit for an additional four hundred dollars, also for borrowed money. In both cas- es, attachments were issued against the dock And now Ed Snyder, Tenakee most prominent citizen, has brought suit for mandatory injunction, by which he seeks to have seventeen feet of the dock removed. Hellenthal and Hellenthal, attorneys for Snyder, in their petition filed in the district court, say that when Eidsen built his dock, lie encroached upon the land occupied by Snyder, who had a scow out in the tide water, at which ships and canoes landed. Snyder says that Eidsen so built his dock as to prevent the use of the scQw.
 The address of Eidsen is not known. He and his son were formerly both at Tenakee, but they put the dock in the hands of an agent and left the country. The dock is said to be worth about $3,OoO.

 Such incidents as that detailed in the discovery by L. l.. Bales of i'm mense sulphur deposits partly explain it. This man who had supreme dis. like to mining and consuming desire to hunt the game of the north has a fortune thrust upon him.
 < For long period he trifed. with chunks of sulphur, refined by the natur- al fires of great volcanoes. He despisr ed the deposits. They were unpleas- antly odorous and when they got into his footgear they made walking bur den.
 When he returned to civilization he found that the stuff has commerci- al value; but the world demands more and cheaper sulphur. If his deposit measures up to expectations, he will De a rich man.
 Yet it is not alone his gamble Ask an Alaskan to define it and he will tell you he likes the north because, "It $ place where mans man, :"

F. Writer'S Office tomorrow morning at

Alderman Martin McNealy moved
that the assessment for the water
main between Forty-fifth and Forty
sixth streets on Fifteenth avenue be
made. The assessment for the i'm
provement is a puzzler. One side of
the avenue is owned by one person
and so situated that it can hardly be
used for building purposes, and so the
laying of the water mains would prob
ably cost more than the value of the
property. The motion was carried.
