 BOOSTING WICK
a Tissue of Lies Sent Out in the Hope of Helping a Forlorn

Tn order that our readers in Valdez may realize 10 what extent the corrupt municipal ring of this city is doing in order to boost WickerSham, We reproduce the following telegram sent to the Juneau Dispatch. As a specimen of deliberate lying and miSrep- resentatiOn it would be hard to beat, but then, it's about as near the truth as the scnders could ev- CT get:

THE SCOLAI PASS ROUTE

 TURaL PossIBILIrIEs--PRsABLER ROUTE OF THE WHITE ExrsNstoN INTERIOR

Mountain passes have long been sought in all countries of the world, and as arteries of com- merce and communication have played no small part in it's up- building. And perhaps nowhere in Uncle Sam's domain has the rough coast range mountains been more closely scanned for Loutlels from the great interior than here in Alaska, where al- ready the famous White Pass route, and ThOmpson's Pass of Abercrombie fame, arc household words.
 Yet there is still another which promises to figure prominently in the development of this portion of the territory and to outrival per- haps all other interior routes. This is the Scolai Pass between tide water and the hcajwaters of the White river and the different branches of Inc Panama.

Since yesterday the sporting editor has been deluged with complaints, suggestions and rhapsodies by the individual members of both teams and on counting noses the editor finds that ~ of the fat men have ob- jected to some of the conditions imposed by the Leans. It has aI- ways been our impression that it look only nine men for a ball team and the only inference that we can gather from this is that the Fats intend to have two or three men on each base and the balance in the field.
 Of course, while therc may be an equal number of Leans who intend to play, we would suggest that both teams, to be fair to the spectators, do not cOngregaLe more than three deep on the bases. The spectators have some rights and they should be allowed
