ciasscd with the publications un- friendly to Big Business," de- clarcs that the action of the big operators in effecting an increase of iO to 80 cents ton to the small consumer on the strength of a 25-ccnt increase to the min- CTS, is just that kind of business policy which breeds hostility to- wards corporations and makes trouble for the business world.
 The 25-cent advance, it was ex- pected would be taken out of the consumer so long as the anthra- cite industry is a practical mo- nopOly, but to make that increase to labor a means of soaking the consumer for 50 to 100 per cent. more increase is an outrage which the public is sure to re- sent, and the Wall Street Jour nal, which is generally fair, re- cOgnizes the iniquity of this un- reasonable advance, and it's con- sequences. It is such things as this which explain the much de- plored hostility of the people to- ward Big Business" And that hostility is not going to delcline SO long as such reasons exist.

ly allowed to play in the field. Harry Whitley and Billy Fini- cal being neighbOrs, have been practicing every night for the past week in the hopes of mak- ling the team. Ernie Wheat be- ing one of the Leans, watches them through a knot hole in his shed and claims that he is onto all their curves.
 Doc FOn Gunther borrowed Al. DOwling's Indian clubs and has been practicing with them for some time past. He also has an old wagon tongue which he will use for a bat and says he is pre- pared to swat the ball into the bay.
 Harvey Sullivan-0ur handsome marshal-is the ticket selling kid. Up to a. m. this morning he sold ten and a half tickets. Who bought the half ticket, ITarvr? Collins Gaines, who run sec. ond in the beauty contest, says he will be first tO reach second in the ball game.
 We noticed Messy boring through a small paper covered book this morning. On exami- nation We found the title to be, "How to Reach First Base With out Hitting the Ball." In lieu of an ambulance Bill Holmes has consented to have his ice wagon on the ground and Doc Winans has consented to sc- cure a corps of assistants so that in case of fights or any disagree mcnt with the umpire, the game will not be delayed.
 Rather hard on Herb Davis tn ask him tO give up Sunday after noon for the ball game, but you will have tn be thrrr, Herb.
 Bill Scott is looking for able bodied men tn act as policemen during the game. Bill says he will take every prrcautinn that no riots occur.
 Al. Bowling says he can make third on three strikes before Badly can pick up the ball. We suggest that every time a member of either team fans out he br fined the price of two tick cts. Of course. ihis might work a hardship on such players as Bill Temple, Jess Martin. X. Y. Futile and numerous others, but We believe if only fair that they should pay for disappointing the public.
 Slim Gray has invented a new spike shoe made out of an old pair of ice crcrperS and guaran- lees that anybody using them will have clear trail around the bases.

Scientists at Their Best.

BuI Ihi iS moi quite d"Ii- nile enough. Niknla Tesla claims "ilr day is not distant when the very planet which gave man birth will irrmblr at the sound of his voice." Man is io "draw the mighty ocean from it's bed. iran port it through the air, and create lakes and rivers al will; hc will command tho wild ole mcnts: he will push on and on from greater to greater deeds, Inc will reach out t0 spheres beyond the terrestrial"
 Professor F.. Rutherford goes Telsa one better in predicting worse things to come, announc- ing the possibility "of devising a detonator which could send a wave of atomic disintegratiOn through the earth and decompose the whole round world into he Hum, argon and other gases, leaving literally not one stone up- on another"
 Professor Duncan would turn all of these discoveries to usc- full account. One of them, he says, foreshadows 'thc prede- Termination of sex," another the extension of youth a Ia Mcntchi- koff, a third telepathy lon prac- iical basis" which "would mean the elimination of lying and hy- pocrisy."

MUTTERINoS OF pIsooNrENT
 AMONG BALL PLAYERS

Continued from page i) fell Heine may be cared for on the ground without delay to the game.
 Babe Hayes. tho beauty spec lalist. wants tO umpire the game, but the committee have several applications for this coveted po- Silion and il is thought now that Fritz NngrS will get il, provid- ing he does not make good on Inc team.
 George Baldwin refuses lo play unless he can make a speech about Wickrrsham and Roosevelt during the game.
 Paul d'IIrirry says hr iS in fin" condition after his severe trip over ChiIknni Pass recently. where he was accompanied by Gr"re" Baldim under the able guidance of Tom Quinn.
 Judge shepard says he used iO play nn"-Old-raI and. lhrrc- fore. believes lir should be cap tain of the Leans.
 The Fals have evidently over looked AndM Dirringrr. Andy says they will have iu come through with a fat salary before they can get him lo play. and cv- on then Inc might throw the game.
 Ii is rumorcd that Arthur Lang Is trying to make deal with Badly Reynolds whereby the latter will run bases for him. This ex- plains the sprinting proclivities shown by Baldy in the past few days.
 While we have been unable to learn the lineup of the Fats. we would suggest that Judge Walk CT cover first base, Jim Kibble on second and Frank Walters on third. This would make the in- field practically impregnable and it would take some scientific bat ting to put ball through.
 Joe Murray has been retained by the Leans, but we understand that he is professional ball player, formerly with the Cubs, and we would suggest to the man ager of the Fats that protest be entered.
 Fred Brown says he won play unless there is mud puddle be- tween first and second.
 It is earnestly hoped that thc Fats will make Goldic produce a verified statement of his batting record for the past ten years be- fore they allow him to bat. If his percentage Is over GOO he should De barred from batting and on-

BREEDING STOCK
 10 BE SOLD OFF
Cattle for Breeding Purposes to be Sold at Kodiak Experi-
 mental Station

The U. $. experiment station al Kodiak have some pure bred Galloway cattle to sell for breed ing purposes to settlers of Alaska at reasonable prices. Owing to the shortage of pasture at Kodiak and a lack of hay crop since the region about the station was covered with volcanic ashes. 1t has been decided to sell a part of the herd. These cattle repre- sent some of the best of the breed and for the most part arc Alaska bred and born cattle. Good young stock of breeding age will sell for less than they can be bought in the states and shipped to Alaska. Five ycarling bulls are for sale at $50 f. o. b. Ko- diak. Ycarling heifcrs for S75, and two-year-olds and young cows for Si00 and up.
 The government does not pay freight on any cattle sold, and sells only for cash. Anybody wanting start with a good thrifty breed of cattle for Alas ka can find no better than these al Kodiak. Settlers arc invited to como and see the herd and choose their cattle. Those who cant come may write N. ID. Snod- grass, Superintendent of Station, al Kodiak, and send cash with or der and the cattle will be shipped by the next boat.
 The herd is kept i5 miles from the village of Kodiak because of the scarcity of pasture now avail able. A gasoline launch plies between the station and the vil- lagc. The best connections from the eastward are by the Dora coming and return on the Bcr- tha. The first come, the first served because they have decid- ed to dispose of some of these cattle this summer and fall.

CANADIAN CAMP

Two Creeks on Upper Yukon May be Big Producers This
 Season

stephen Meyers, resident of the northland for the past 13 years, having prospectcd from Copper River to Dawson, and from Nome to Forty-milr, has sold his interest at Carmack, where for the past few years he has conducted roadhousc.
 In speaking of the outlook for that district, MT. Meyers display ed several fine large nuggets, which were taken from Discovery Pup on Manson creek by McDate, Webber Bros. and Mack Bros. In a small clean up from some some prospecting done this spring $500 was washed out from the dirt.
 McClain and Wilson picked up a t-2 OF. nugget on No. above while Miller and Shaw brought into Carmack $i00 worth of gold which was the result of few days prospecting on Inc East Fork of Nanscn.
 The Canadian government has appropriated $2,O0O for building a road into the district, and Mil Ter and Shaw have suspended op- crations on their claim for the present and are building the road.
 All the ground of known value has 52cn Slakcd and much work is under way for ihc coming sea son.
 Taylor and Drury, the White horse merchants, have bought the Carmark slorr for RowilSon and Shaw, and the new prOprie- tors will continue to furnish the supplies to the miners of that district. Tom Bee and William Shaw will conduct the store of the new firm.
 William Shaw is the postmas- ter and mining recorder at Car mack.
 Mr. Meyers stated that the Nan sen creek district is bound tO be a big producer next year, if not this year, and will within a very short time take it's placcamong the foremost camps of the north.
