Driver Drops Whip But Free Team
Makes Fast Run
OLD JACK AND JACK AGAIN.
Famous Old Fire Team Entered i.
Bunk Hitch Event Today At
state Firemen's Tourna.
msnt.

Des Moines, July 28.--Jack ana
Jack, Des Moines' most famous Dir,
team, possibly the most famous nrs
team in the world, will get back is
to the limelight OF firemen's tourna
ment for brief space of time this
afternoon. Answering the importp
mites Of friends Of the veteran team
Fire Chief William Burnett last nigh
allowed ii to be announced that the
two horses would be the Des Moines
entry in the bunk hitch event today
The old stars, which in their DAY
could show their heels to any pair Il
fire ..orses in the world, but whose
muscles have worn under the stress
of training seasons and hurried calls
to fires, will be sent into the stable
to hang up new record in the hitch
and fifty yard dash.
The followers Of the team, most Of
whom never saw the team lose, be
lieye that the veterans, lean and
agile. white starred foreheads and
tightening stamina will be able to
win where the other teams Of the
city have failed. Despite the fact
that they had been forced into the
society OF ex,champions by the whirL
wind Clinton team, Fred and Mack
came back in the bunk hitch race q
the second day and ESTABLISH a Arec.
ord which stands unique ihayae free
for all bunk hitch, one half mile run,
and nozzle coupling contest. The
ex.ch impions set the time Of | min
ute and IL. seconds for the event.
without the use Of a whip. The
performance by Fred and Mack res
suited from one Of the many accL
dents which featured the second aft
ernoon of the tournament AS the
Des Moines team dashed from the
bunk house after making a perfect
hitch, Driver Joe Riggs dropped his \
whip in passing it to Captain Wilk.
ms. Urged on only by the gong and
the excited applause from the fifteen
thousand people who crowded the
grandstand and lined the railing On
either side of the track, the black I
and bay team accomplished a feat
unique in the annals OF state fire
mems tournament.

fair acquisition Of undue privilege,
franchise, or right from the govern.
ment in that district. But everyone
must know that the resources Of
Alaska can never become available
either to the people of Alaska or to the
public Of the United States unless rea-
sonable opportunity is granted to those
who would invest their money to se-
cure return proportionate to the risk
run In the investment and reasonable
under all circumstances.
ION the other hand, the acrimony of
spirit and the intense malice that have
been engendered in respect Of the ad
ministration Of the government in
Alaska and in the consideration of
measures proposed for her relief and
the wanton recklessness and eagerness
with which attempts have been made
to besmirch the characters Of high of.
ficials having to do with the Alaskan
government, and even of persons not
in public life, present q condition that
calls for condemnation and requires
that the public be warned of the de-
moralization that has been produced
by the hysterical suspicious of good
people and the unscrupulous and cor
rupt Misrepresentation Of the wicked.
The helpless state to which the credul-
ity Of some and the malevolent scan
dal-mongering Of others have brought
the peOple of Alaska In their struggle
for Its development ought to give the
public pause, for until juster and fair
er view be taken. investment in
Alaska, which IL necessary to its de-
ve,opment, will be impossible, and hon
est administrators and legislators will
be embarrassed IN the advocacy and
putting into operation Of those policies
In regard to the territory which are
necessary to its progress and pros.
