THE BALL VAS "swATTEo'
 SURE GOOD AND PLENTY.

That Skagway will have one good ball team this season was demonstra. ed at the scrub game, officially des- ignated as d "try-out" which at Tacted such old time fans as Dougan Barry, "Sy" Tanner, Tuck FIaharty, and about fifty others yesterday at' ternoon, when the score Of 6 to 3 was chalkel up on the board.
 While there was not quite enough "would-be's" to make up two teams, the lineup as far as 1t went were as follows: C., C, Rapuzzi; D., Bert Mckenzie; Ist b., Louis Gutfeld; 2Hd b., Wright, Srd b., Blanchard; field, Willie Bledsoe and Norman Black.
 The second team lined up thus: C.. Mark Phelps; D., Cleon Ask; lst b.. Robblee; 2nd b., Hal Johnston; Srd b.. A. Rapuzzi; ss., Henry Bern horrer: field, Richter and Shelly.
 The features of the game were Willie Wards fielding and Louis Gutfeld's clever work on first, the latter getting away with some "cer tainly profe3h" plays, and stoppins everything that came his way.
 The salient feature of the gam, was that we still have fans, and whether it is a game of one-old-cat or a really and truly game of base hall. Skagway fans are there all the while"
 There will be au. thor game next Sunday.

BURNING CRUDE OIL.

The Nugget hates ta assume tu, rol, of calamity eri,r but when va be lieve such is om dul NC Wiu play the part even if the same proves Hp- popular The coal -hor a2e and tn- deed there i~ onc. for v, cannot get away from the fact. and must laco the issue faIr and square. -n that We can trim our sails t" catch amy and all faovrablc winds to make the coal last until the arrival uf the first steamer in the spring turns nur thoughs to the burning of oil.
 The Nugget notes with interest the number of crude oil burners being installed to ease up the severe drain the demands will maE, upon the J. J. Sesnon coal pile, and hopes that no bad results will result in the way of confiagrations. for people are go- ing into the wholesale burning of oil and the various systems introduced may develop into nothing hut $" many fire traps
 The initial cost oi installing an up- to-date burner a~ now perfected Is nothing the saving on the coal bnl for period of two months will more than pay for the same. SO the best and most perfect system will he a cheap affair in the end
 The writer is not m a position to state which is the best up-to-date burner now upon the market. but from a safety point of view. We believe the one on exhibition in the Darling & Dean Hardware store is far in the lead and that no doubt will be great ly improved upon between now and the opening of navigation.
 There are two essential features necessary for the burning of crude oil with any degree of safety to the building. or the whole town for that matter First There should he per feet combustion Of all particles Of oil not any of the heat units or particles of oil should be carried away in smoke for therein lies one of the great dan gers. The fac that one IS not get ting the full benefit of the heat units stored up in the crude oil Is not the reason. but oil we can say Is liquid fuel that has nc waste. When properly burned there is no residue, such as We find in coal in the form of ashes We know from the very first that there will he a certain re- malnder from the coal in the form Of ash. but nothing Of the kind should he the byproduct with crude oil.
 Knowing there should be no resi- due If perfect combustion Is obtained with crude oil. We will have to admit that what is carried off in the form Of smoke is nothing more than fine particles of oil that will burn if given a chance.

PANAMA CANAL.

Recent dispatches state that the annual report turned in bv the Pana ma commission proves the canal oi four-nrths completed or that amount cf the excavation Is performed and t,e material carted away.
 This great undertaking on the part pi Uncle sam. after the gigantic fail- ure of the French engineers Is quite a leather in our cap. The canal will be completed under The direction of the engineer corps uf our army long before the time officially set for it's opening. and in looking back over the history of this great water way to be We find many interesting features.
 About thirty-two years ago. or to b. more exact. r will be just that 'ength of time on the 21st day of the coming February work was begun on a job that was to result in one of the most stupendous scandals of all time. On that day the French engineers commenced laying out the course for the Panama canal
 Ferdinand de Lesseps one of the most remarkable men of whom history gives us any account had hypnotlzed the international congress at Paris. inveigled individuals and states into subscribing to the scheme. and at last the dream of ages was about to be realized at money cost Of sl20 . 900 900
 From time to time delegates met De Lesseps at Panama to prepare for the opening. which was set for 1888. Tn the meantime subscription followed subscription and loan followed loan. and the interest did not forget to ac- cumnlate The autumn of 1888 came. and the promised opening failed 10 materiallze. With only a fifth of the work done. the indebtedness was $370.- 100000 Further borrowing was im- possible. and the company was forced into liquidation. The tide level at Colon filled in. and the S30.O00,000 plant began rusting away. The Col ombia government graciously voted he company an extension of ten years time in which to finish their contract when. all of a sudden. the bubble burst with reverberations that as- tcunded the world.
 Tn the fall of 1892 NJ Delahaye de- clared before the French legislature th3t no fewer than 100 deputies had ec,n hr,bed hy the company and that tils whole thing was nothing less than a gigantic fraud. The revelations that were brought out in the trial of De ! Csseps and his colleagues came very I;oar wrecking the government. The ,v 'Tat that had been charged by M. reiahaye was proven to be true. and tre tsTce approaches of the people stew no bounds Three hundred and seventy millions of dollars of hard erned money had been sunk and. to cover up the villalny. the press was
