 Dawson's midsummer fair, with ex- hibits of vegetables grown in that sub Arctic region, will have a widespread and beneficial influence. It will dem- onstrate to the incredulous that Alaska and the Yukon have wonderful possi- bilities, agriculturally considered. The time may come, and not so far removed either, when the products of the soil in that region will exceed the output of the mines.-EX.
 The Dawson board of trade recently passed a resolution faVoring the pay ment of bonus on all quartz milled in the Yukon, and upon the output of those young industries which are not yet on dividend paying basis. The amount per ton agreed upon is $500, which is considered sufficient sum to encourage the development of the sev- eral lodges which have been discovered in the immediate vicinity Of Dawson.
 The Pacific Coast Steamship com. pany's steamer Senator reached Seattle last Friday night, the first vessel to ar. rive this year from Nome. The Sena- tor reports having received wireless message from the steamship Edith stat ing that the latter was caught in the ice foes while two hundred miles to the south of Nome. The message asks for assistance, and it is probable that one of the revenue cutters which are To- cated in that vicinity will go at once to her aid,
 Profting by the experiences of sev eral other Alaskan towns, Sitka held it's first "tin can day" and the cans that have been accumulating for a century were gathered by the children and paid for by the Ladies' Social Service club at the rate of 5 cents per sack, or 3 cents per dozen for oil cans. The women of the Social Service club state that the cleaning-up campaign has only started and that ithey will live up to the motto they have adopted, "Make Sitka More Beautiful"
 That volcano on the west coast ot Alaska is no joke. It has ruined all the vegetation within five hundred miles of it's base on all sides and in a moment when the atmosphere was dry at VanA couver, B. C., the ash settled on some delicate lingerie lady had hanging on line and about that time gentle shower came up, causing the ash and water to form lye and the result was that when the lady went for her wash ing, there was nothing left but the but tons, and even they were rusty.-Ex.
 It is with almost shock that one views the effects of time and decay on Metlakahtla, and is compelled to con clude that few more years and the place, the only one of it's kind on earth, will be a demonstration that the com munity idea is failure. The wharf is being repaired and few new houses are being built or old ones made over, bat great majority of the places, both public and private, are rapidly follow ing the way of all flesh. The cannery will run this year and to that end is aow getting ready for business.-Ex.

Considerable comment has been made
in various newspapers about the posi-
ton Washington IS occupying in the
present pennant race, and while the
Nationals have usually been given
credit for playing good ball, it has
frequently been mentioned that it was
unusual for a team sixth in club bat
ting and seventh in club fielding to
be safely intrenched in second place.
While it is true that batting pro-
duces runs and that runs win games, it
does not necessarily follow that the
club which has the best batting aver
age will win the pennant. For in
stance, a team may win game by
making fifteen hits to an opponents
one and be beaten the next day by the
same club In game in which each
will make only four hits. The nineteen
hits will greatly help the club bat
ting average. but are not any more pro-
ductive than the four.
The real comparison should he made

Below is given a tabulated statement

A comparison of these records shows
that in the aggregate the Nationals
have won more games, made more runs
and less errors than their opponents,
have stolen twice as many bases, their
men and given fewer bases on balls and.
lastly. they have had fewer men left
on bases. Outside of this they have
not done much. Is it any wonder they

Comparing the series. individually. it
will be seen then that this is still
true. except in the case OF the Athletics.
which is the only team that has taken
majority of the games from the
Nationals this year. This comparison
shows why, also. They have won from
every angle.
Aside from the Athletics. the Red Sox
is the only team to outfield the Nationals
in series.
This comparison is for only a trif1e
over half the season. Study it care
fully, root for the team to stick to
this stride during the last half, and
then buy your tickets for the worlds s
series. If they duplicate this, it is all
