 THE EARTHQUAKE
 Underneath the earth stands an old woman in a bent position. On her back rests pillar, and on top of this rests the earth. The Crow, in an evil mood, tries to shove the old woman from her position. She topples, but does not fall. When she topples this causes the earth to quake. If ever the Crow succeeds in pushing her over, the world will come to an end.

THE EARTHQUAKE
ORIGIN OF THE WHALE


 Many, many years ago Stickeen boy named Not,seth lance amused himself by carving small image of a whale and sailing it about on the water. This sport was quietly indulged in from time to time until one day the piece of cedar wood turned into live whale of unusual size and swan away. The boy, of course, was surprised and alarmed, and ran home to tell his parents what had taken place. His father and mother, grown wise as the years had passed away, knew at once that their son was destined to become a great mau; he was to be the father of a new tribe, spreading abroad through. out the land, great and powerful. And SO we find today. Branches of the whale tribe are to be found in many villages; and wherever found they are able to hold their own in the affairs of life.

The Jones Bill

ne Jones Dill
 Following the recommendation made by Gov. Walter E. Clark, of Alaska, in his last annual report, and recently made personally before the house and senate committees on terri. tories, Senator Jones has introduced bill providing for new salmon tax for Alaska.
 The Jones bill provides, in the first section, series of grades for the Alas ka salmon output, and increases the tax acc ordIngly. At present the tax is only cents per case, regardless of grade, and the new measure increases the tax to 5, ' and Il cents, according to species; salmon bellies from 10 cents to S1O0 per barrel; fertilizer 20 to 90 cents per ton, and fish and whale oil are to be taxed at the rate of F cents.
 tax of 510o per trap also is pro- vided with 30 cents per fathom on purse seines and l cent per fathom on other gear. These taxes on gear, how. ever, are adjusted somewhat in rela tion to the respectives catches made. Senator Jones estimated that his bill, if made into law, will increase the total tax by S7O,OOO annually.
 One of the most important changes is contained in the second section, which provides for the discontinuance of the rebate system in 1913, as well as a revocation of approval on hatcheries.
 Barricades are permitted for scien- tific purposes and the limit from the mouth oi salmon streams has been in creased from 800 to 600 yards, dis tance uniformly for fixed gear ip regard to stream mouths.
 Trap operators, by system of licen- censing, may secure possession of their sites so long as they are used for fish, ing. Trap dimensions, now unlimited, are limited to 4,O0Ofeet, and jiggers are prohibited. This latter is one of the most important features of the bill in it's effect upon the nun Der of salmon caught. By he use of the jigger it is almost impossible for any of the sal mon running into trap to escape. They are HOW given a fighting chance to get away. The word red is stricken out of the present law before salmon streams, and limits stake nets to length of 800 feet but permits Indians to use 50.yard nets for their own dom estic purposes without restrictions.
 The Jones bill places the Sunday close season on Cook inlet and Copper river, and removes it from hook and line fishermen and also gives the sec retary authority to extend the distance not 10 exceed one nautical mile. The secretary also is invested with power to control the location of traps so as to preserve the supply of salmon.
 Another important provision is that which holds the employer liable for wrong done by employees within the scope of their employment. Fishing by Asiatics is prohibited, except for domestic purposes, in the interest of the Alaskan Indians, the local people and American fishermen.

JENNINGS LIKES
PRESENT METHOD
Does Not Care to Have the
World Series Receipts to
Go to League Players.

Manager Hughey Jennings of the
Detroit Tigers, who has made a big
hit in vaudeville this winter, has fallen
in line with several other league man
ayers who do not favor the scheme
of President Garry Hermann of the
Cincinnati club, who favors letting in
all the players of both the American
and National leagues on the receipts
of h worlds series-that is, Of the
PLAYERS end of the money.
Here is the way Jennings expresses
his views: "The present plan is good
enough. A manager has something to
point forward to when he wants his
players to get in and battle for honors
during a long season. When a team
Is fighting for the championship it is
a nice incentive for the boys to con-
slider that when the league season is
over they might have a chance to
share in the proceeds of the big series.
Interest would be lost in the series
if the plan suggested by Hermann
was adopted. 1t may be five years or
more before We get another chance
at the big games, or it might be next
season. or never. But when the time
comes / want To have my men fighting
for the prize that they nave earned
the right to battle for and not be a
hanger-on, thereby getting money that

the additional advantage allotted the
offensive play giving them a better OPP
portunity against the big ~elevens.
Many of the coaches have been back

vantages given to the attack during
the past season. Most of them have
followed what they believed to be a
safe and sane policy. But it is be-
lieved that another season under the
new code will lead to a greater devel-
Iopment Of the running game.

MAGNATES MAY CUT
OUT SPRING TRIPS
Demand Of Fraternity For
Salary During Jaunts
May End Them.

For the first time since the Fultz
Fraternity of baseball players was or
ganixed two months ago a president
OF a league club has broken the ST.
lenoe the club owners Of the National
and American leagues have maintain
ed since the players got together.
President Navin Of the Detroit club
has come out with the statement that
the demand Of the fraternity for SAL
airy during the spring training trips
OF the teams may result in the abol-
tshing OF the spring trips and the saw
ing Of approximately 100000 per
year for the W major league teams.
Navin has given serious considera-
ton to the subject. He is in favor OF
sidestepping all halfway measures.
and gives it as his opinion that. if the
players: really do press their demand,
the clubs will merely cut out training
trips entirely. The players will be al
lowed to stay at home. will not come
under the eyes Of their managers and
a work as much or as little as they
please. But-and this is the strong
part OF the statement-they will be
required to report in good condition,
and will get no salary until they are
ready to give their best efforts. Thus
they will be put on the am plane as
workers in n other line. none of
whom draw pay from a new employer
until they report ready for work. and
none OF whom r paid until they ac-
tually are delivering services.
This will not look very good to the
players and Will put an end to the
proposition they are making IL the
other magnates are of the same mind
tho II quoted. 1t isn't easy to get
into condition in a cold climate and
the players appreciate the convent
ences that are provided for them by
the club owners.
Many magnatcs agree with Navin
when he says that training trips are
Of little value to any one but the
pitchers. 1t was once thought neces-
sary to have the young players Of q

San Francisco, Dec. 5.-If Joe
Johnson's place as he has contracted
to do, rather a unique situation will
present itself.
All the colored heavyweights will be
piled up on one side Of the ocean and
all the white hopes on the other.
And that, possibly. car truly be re-
garded as an unmiXed blessing.
With no dark shadows falling ath-
wart them it will be a fine time for
the pale-face stalwarts to get together
and determine who is who. For that
matter, the initial move in the weed
ing out process has already been made
for Jim Flynn and Luther Mccarthy
are to face each other at Los Angeles
on December 10.
The pity Of 1t is hat AL Palzer. who
1t was thought was being held in re-
serve for the winner, should have in
jured his reputation through a wretch
ed performance with Tony Ross.
Everybody thought so we'll Of Pal
Ter. He wasn't looked upon as a
clever exponent Of the manly art. but
he was accredited with natural fight
ing talents and the qualities Of
strength. pluck and endurance calcu-
lated to compensate for his lack of
knowledge of technique.
Now that Palzcr had been humbled
by Ross. whosc leading record is near
ly as extended as that of Tony Caponi,
We don't know what to think.
1t may be that Pa!zer will claim it
vas an loft night" with him when he
did so poorly with Ross in Philadel-
phia. Being Il prominent pugilist ex-
planning reverses is thoroughly within
his province. but If he acts wisely he
will undergo a spell Of training and
demand another match with Ross.
1t is the only safe method of vindi-
cation. and unless Palzer adopts it
and turns the tables on Ross he will
remain under Il cloud.
It's a poor wind that blows nobody
good and Palzer's setback means add
ed Importance to the Flynn Mccarthy
bout.
The winner Of this affair will be re-
garded as tho best Of the white hopes
unless Palzer does something amaZ-
ing meanwhile.
In the so at.Los Angeles Flynn will
DO under all manner Of physical hand
leaps. Mccarthy will outweigh and
outreach him. but disadvantages OF
that kind never discourage Flynn.
Among tho time-honored adages of
the prize ring is that says in eff
feet: "A good little man cannot be en-
pected to defeat il good big man."
1t is doubtful if the argument holds
good in modern pugilism. In the old
days when there were SO few punches
known to tho ring men and when ev-
cry bruiser followed a stilted style of
milling It stood to reason. I suppose,
