A GOOD GAME OF
 REAL BASE BALL

The ketchikan Ball Team played real pennant winning ball this morning in their sec ond game with Eddie Bush : team, and deserve the praise of the local fans for doing 1t. Hooper's work in the box was good, 15 men famed out; he with the balance of the team showing a marked improve ment over Sunday. The boys did well on base running, and the fielding with the exception of a couple of little errors, nei- her one costly, was excellent. As this paper stated last Mon- day, the boys can play ball, and today they did. The score 2l to three is hardly indicative of the quality of the work done.

and the men, for he is a good jolly fellow.
 Now Mir. Editor, I feel better after telling you all my trou- bles, except this. Perhaps you are not aware of the fact that in the early days of Ketchikan, when Irving and Cosgrove had just commenced to learn how to talk law, I joined what was known as the Big Four Club of Ketchikan, composed of Mike Martin, Chas. Cosgrove George Irving and myself. 1 wanted to be the Mayor of Ketchikan, and would have been if I had kept out of the club, but instead, the very man I did not want to see elected, beat me by six votes. ] had only one vote, and 1 shall always believe that the one vote 1 got was the one I cast for myself, but would you believe it, Mr. Editor,, Irving, Cosgrove, and even Mike Mar tin, tried to make me believe that each one of them had vOt- for me for mayor, but anyway, Irving carried off the honors, and was sworn in as mayor. and that is the reason that l decided here in Fish Egg, not to join any club, 400 or other- wise, for you can see 1 had more trouble in those days than a married man,
 Trusting that this my first communication to you has not worn out my welcome and your patience, 1 am yours,
 The Man From Mississip.

AN OLD FRIEND SPEAKS
Editor The Miner:

As sit here in my little of-
 flee thinking of what might have been, had 1 in the years gone by been elected senator from Old Mississippi, Alas | ka would have been a state be- fore this instead of nothing as she is today. But men such as am can never become sena- tors, although 1 can assure you
 it is no fault of mine, as l have tried hard enough. If l could stand np in the Hall of Congress for just one hour and make a speech there such as Charles Cosgrove and George Irving make at home, why I'd have home rule or nothing by the time l got through. Those fel- lows in Congress don't know what kind of stuff we are made of here in Alaska. But let 'em let go the brake and come to Alaska, and they will soon dis cover the kind of clay we are.
 Now Mir. Editor, in regard to Fish Egg or Craig. We have an up to date town and have home rule here. We make our own laws, and you can just bet we live up to them too, and it doesn't cost us much either.
 Our population is about 5000 strong, including the fisher- men. We have a "40O" soci- ety composed Of the best whites in town, and if a fellow wants to join the society. he must be A, No. 1, before Ire can get in, and I don't blame the ladies for starting the society on the right footing either.
 We have a good school house and two lady teachers, the on- ly two ladies in the city who are single. That speaks we'll for Fish Egg. I assure you that If they were in Ketchikan, they would not be single very long. But over here, we are not like those Ketchikan fellows.
 This 400 society of ours has a ball every week, and they are the happiest lot of ladies I ev- CT saw. They always have a smile, so that a fellow can't help liking them. Alaskans as Ia rule think we have the finest ladies in the land, and we have, and are justly proud of them.
 We have in Fish Egg the best and largest cannery in Alaska. It cost S300,00O. We have cold storage too, Besides these we have the best water in all Alas ka. Shortly we expect fo have the largest store in Alaska. on which the work of construction will begin as soon as the lum- Der for it arrives. J. Linder- berg Co.,, Inc., has done a great deal for Fish Egg. In the em- ploy of the company at present are 60 carpenters. About 400 men are now fishing King Sal mon for the company, which is mild curing fish night and day. We have also a meat market run by one J. P. Smith, we al- so have a candy store run by T. Ringer, and a general mer- chandise store run by L. Hal verson. The West Coast Trad ing company has a large store of which Frank Thompson is the manager. Frank is very popular with both the fair sex

AGED WOMAN SCALES WINDOW
 TO FREEDOM
Inmate of I.akeview Home Was to Have Been Re- turned to Relatives In England.

Mrs Carrie Rivey, an aged inmate of Lakeview Home, taken to that in stitution several days ago to await completion of arrangements for her return to relatives in England, escap- ed from that Institution through the night by breaking a lock on her bed- room window and climbing out on the fire escape.
 Mrs. Rivey's absence was discovered about g o'clock this morning, and re- ported to police headquarters. A warning was issued for her detention, for the authorities fear that in her irresponsible condition she may per- ish from lack of food or may fall in- to danger
 Mrs. Rivey had little trouble in breaking lock on her window. Thrusting the window screen aside, she climbed out on the fire escape and got to the ground without danger, for her room was on the first floor.
 As nearly as can be learned she was clad in a long green cloak, and a black and white bonnet. She is de- scrihed as tall, with dark hair, slim, and inclined to be unusually talkative- She is mentally irresponsible but not regarded as dangerously demented, but merely suffering from mental weak ness owing to her advanced years. She is about 70 but appears younger.
 It had been planned to place her on a steamer for England on Thursday.

 of Two Weeks


 Bail was increased in the case or Samuel Bender, the accused furniture salesman, from $2,50O to $5,00O when his case was called again in the City court today. Bender was able to fur nish the $2,5OO bail shortly after court adjourned yesterday and he secured his liberty. There appeared to be doubt as to whether the double amount would be forthcoming and he went to jai1epending further arrange ment of the bond.
 Attorney Lawrence Finkelstone, counsel for Bender, asked a continu- ance of two weeks when the man Was brought into court today. He said medical experts at work would not be able to prepare q report that will have vital bearing on the case, with in that time.

 Ames was brought before Judge Foster on three charges, the outcome of wild evening in his automobile a fortnight ago.
