according to him. there never was so bright a baby as that
recently born to Mrs. Gore at their residence, 1863 Mintwood

The average grade would be on-fourth of one per cent in favor of the loaded

Gravel ballast is everywhere at hand, and the neighborhood supplies good cross-ties and piling in abundance It should not be forgotten that Controller Bay is the harbor through which the products of the Yakataga coal and oil fields, still officially unexplored, will undoubtedly reach the sea.

ka railroads, but who is familiar with Controller Bay, says that as a des- criber of Controller Bay, the only word which will apply to Pinchot is the "short and ugly" one so often on the tongue of Roosevelt. But this is what MT. Pinchot says:
 "The facts about Controller Bay as I see them, are briefly as follows:
 Controller Bay is by nature an ex- cellent harbor. In it's present condi- tion, without lights, marks or buoys, it is far more safely accessible to ship ping in all weathers than New York or Boston harbors would be under similar conditions. On al sides it IS complete ly protected from the sea except from the channel opening to the west, whence in this region no storms blow. The sole valid criticism of it lies in the fact that it is windswept at times by beavy offshore gales. So is every har- Dor in Southeastern Alaska, and, I be- lieve, in nearly every region of similar topography and similar latitude on th, globe.

COAST LIGHTS

Regarding the estimate of appropri- ations for aids to navigation in Alas ka, sent to Congress this month by the secretary of the treasury, this explan- ation was made by Governor Clark to- day:
 "The amount this year is $115,0O0, and although this is larger than the amount submitted last year by $55,- 900, it provides for only one light. This is to be first order light house of the most modern type, with fog signal, at Cape St. Elias. A larger appropriation, to cover other projects in addition to this was not recommended, for the req son that the light house bill this year wlll be very large, and there did not seem to be a prospect of getting larg- CT amount. It seemed best this year to turn attention from the matter of

small aids to the larger ones-that IS to the big light houses that are badly needed.
 "Three of these are of great i'm portance- Cape St. Elias, Cape Decis- ion, and Cape Spencer If some pro- jects must wait, it would better be the smaller ones, for great progress has been made in the installation of the smaller lights (which are just as good and even better for certain locations) in the last two years.
 Since April, 191O-twenty months ago-5s aids to navigation, including number of acetylene gas lighted bea- cons, have been install in AlasSe wa ters. This is several es as any lights as has been put place ring the entire prior history of th erri- toryo

ALASKAN COATS

Fl do not think, r said MT. Ira ;. Tucker, a Montana sheep and goat rancher who is here on the Gastinean channel, looking for location, ::'that this country will ever make sheep country, but it will be ideal for goats. :"
 There are two reasons why sheep would not pay. In the long winters, with the snow on the ground, the sheep would have to be fed. The one thing, however, which would make the sheep business absolutely impossible here is the wet weather. A sheep's wool soaks with the rain and it is impossible to shear sheep when the wool IS wet
 "With goats wool, however, it is altogether different Goats will feed on the bark of trees and on twigs, and the wool Is so thick, and lies so on 2 goats back, that the water runs off
The Alaska sourdough., 1911-12-26

readily, and no matter how much 1t rains, very little of the wool gets wet.
 Goats wool brings more on the market than sheep's wool, and while sheep's wool is down now to fourteen cents pond, goats wool runs as high as thirty eight cents, depending on the quality.
 For some time, until recent years, the raising of goats has been growing in dnstry in Montana, but lately conditions have been growing worse there for the goat and sheep raisers, and it. is said that a number of goat and sheep raisers have been lokking for locations in Al aska. It is said that fthe forest res ervation obstacles can be overcome, several herds of goats may be brought from Montana to Southeastern Alaska this coming summer.

SCHOOL NOTES

Every pupil in the city schools who
cared to attend, enjoyed pleasant
variation of the weeks routine, Fri
day afternoon, as a stereoptican lee
ture was given in the High School as
sembly room at which all who were
burdened with dime were privileged
to be present. The lecturer was Mr..
HuShaw who visited our city about
five years ago on similar mission,
many of the older pupils recognizing
him, and remembering his first lee
ture. He was for twelve years a res
ldent of the Hawaiian Islands and is
well acquainted with their people and
life there. His subject was Hawaii
and her people, and it was accom-
panied by over a hundred views,
beautifully colored He discussed
the habits and customs of the inhab-
itants and gave many interesting bits
of history descriptive of the different
places shown in the views. His talk
was of educational value to both the
teachers and pupils who took advan-
tage of the opportunity to hear the
subject discussed by one familiar with
life in the islands. Two hundred of
the pupils were we'll entertained for
an hour and half.
DIR. Matthias, principal of the Bel
bingham Normal, gave a hfty-minutes
talk to the members of the High
School, Thursday morning. He
touched upon variety of subjects and
made some effective remarks coueern-
ing the diamond mines of Rhodesia
which are situated in Africa. His
closing thought was that the young
people of the kennewiCk valley should
not become SO engrossed with their
own problems and interests as to for
get that all over the world are Others
who also have difficulties to face
which are of equal importance. DR..
Matthias went from here to Kiona.
Jesse Ellsworth, the western repre-
sentative of the American Book Co.
visited the Kennewick Schools Thurs
day.

maintenance. The library board

The institution will be moved te

White. to whom he had lost the decision
on his first visit to England. Ted
Pritchard or even Charley Mitchell.
Barnato and Mccoy sailed for Eng
land a few days after the fight. Bar
nato was a man OF moods and on the
way up jumped from the ship In a Mt
or dependency, so Mccoy lost his new
hacker and South Africa one OF Its
most picturesque characters. Mccoy
when he got to London Immediately
offered to fight any man in England and
put up $500 with The Sportsman to
bind the match But neither Ted White
nor Ted Pritchard cared to meet him
and he got no fights at all. He stayed
In England for several months n

up. He then took ship for America
and landed here shortly after the
famous Corbett-F itzsimmons ight In
Carson City.
Soon as Mccoy landed in America he
Issued a challenge TO fight any middle
weight in America. This was accepted
by Dick O'Brien Of Boston, with whom
Mccoy had fought a hard twenty-five
round draw In Boston two years before,
and the men were matched to fight at
the Palace Athletic Club on May 26.
This clubhouse was the largest arena
In the city next to Madison Square
Garden. and II was damned that night.
The ring was pitched under q roof made
TO resemble the roof Of q grotto with
gorgeous tinsel and looked almost like
a fairy grotto in a spectacular Broad
way show. The fight was to be twenty
rounds to a decision for gate receipts.
O'Brian said he weighed 1863 pounds
and probably did. He was In fairly good
shape, although he carried a little too
much fat. Mccoy said he weighed 1865
pounds. but ~laughingly remarked that

rune than a fighter.
In the former fight between O'Brien
and Mccoy the Kid had been forced to
use every trick he possessed to stall

this time he was master all through
the battle. He ducked and danced
around the ring, laughing and kidding
