Dear Doctor-The best trip
for you would be to buy a
ticket to San Francisco and 60
up the west coast. There are
steamers you could take from
Panama to California that
make the trip in eleven days, l
believe, and others that stop at
Central American ports ard
Mexican ports and would give
you about "a days on the Pa
cific; the latter boats are the
ones to take if you have plenty
OF time and want to saunter
along slowly and see the differ
ent ports.
/ don't know what the fare is
from New York City to Califor-
MIA by water, but l think it is
something like $115.OO. That
being the case you would have
a trip of perhaps eight or nine
days coming he Isthmus
and from elev.n % dave IN
the Pacific, owing to the boat
you took, and this would give
you nearly thirty days on the
water and included everything.
Where could you go and get
your board for less than that,
and think Of the six thousand
mile trip thrown in. On such
a trip, of course, your expenses
while upon the Isthmus would
have to be taken care of by
yourself, but while on the wa
ter the price Ct the ticket
would include everything. /
want to go up the west coast
on the slowest boat / can get
when ! get through here. The
difference in the time of the
boats on the Pacific is repre-
sented by the stops the boats
makes at different ports and
while at those ports you would
be able to land and saunter
around for q day or so.
Why don't you talk to Almor
Stern and Cutler Milliman as
they intend coming down if
they can make arrangements.
This is about all the Informs

Missouri Valley Suffers Defeat

After defending their goal
for six successful years, the To-
cal team met defeat at the
hands of the Superior team of
Omaha yesterday at the Vinton
street ball park. The locals
put up a fine game against a
team which outweighed them
at least twenty-five pounds to
the man and when the final
whistle blew they were only de-
feated IL to 0. Tn work of
officials was something awful
to behold as they always look
ed for the infringements of the
rules on the part of the Valley
but were unable to see any off
side playing, holding or any,
thing of the kind on the part
of the Omaha team. Missouri
Valley has defeated this same
team up here and can do it
again if they will come where
we know the officials are absol-
utely on the square and will
not permit any roughness on
the part of either team.
About two hundred rooters
from here went with the team
yesterday and often times it
was difficult to restrain some
of the boys when an absolutely
wrong decision was given by
the officials. All of the team
were more or less bruised and
scratched but fortunately none
of them were manned and it
will take a pretty good team to
cross their goal line again.

SITKA TO HAVE
 STORAGE PLANT

W. P. Mills, one of the prominent business men of Sitka, is in town waiting for the Mariposa.
 Mir. Mills is enroute to the land of orange blossoms and will spend the balance Of the winter in California, re- turning early next spring.
 "Sitka," said Mir. Mills, "is uqite prosperous and the people are look ing forward to a greater development Of the latent resources at hand"
 The mining development Is pro gressing steadily without any blar- ing of trumpets and no boom is ex- pected or wanted in that line.
 The fishing industry" he continued lis growing into an important re. source for the town. It is expected that a large cold storage plant will be built in our town next year. This is a necessity as We are too far of the steamship run to handle the fresh fish trade successfully"
 Many of the boats bringing halibut to Juneau would engage in the Sitka fishing trade if there was cold stor- age plant at the place. Mir. Mills statements anent the fishing industry will likely cause some talk in Ju- neau.

JUNEAU MADE
 VANTAGE POINT

One of the most telling effects re- sulting from the industrial spurt in and about Juneau is the aptness with which a progressive transportation company grasped the situation and by quick work endeavored to place itself in a favorable position.
 It did not take long for the Alaska Steamship Company to decide that it would be a good business move to route all of their vessels plying be- tween Seattle and Southwestern Alas ka via Juneau.
 "It is a big thing for Juneau and shows couclusiyely," said one Juneau business man, that the business re- yiyaI and present prosperity is being recognized"
 As a matter of fact the growing trav- el between Juneau and Sound cities and between Juneau and point to the Westward will be accentuated this winter and spring when the legisla- ture meets.
 The local office has received def- uite instructions that this plan of op- eratiug their vessels is permanently fixed. As at present arranged, the Mariposa and Alameda will be prac- ticalIy passenger boats between Ju- ueau and Seattle with only one stop at Ketchikan. All of the local freight and passenger traffic will go to the Jefferson and Dolphin This means that the regular run to Seat tie can be made in three days unless weather conditions should interfere.
 While this matter was under dis cussion in the general offices of the company the Alameda was docked for a thorough oyerhauling and the North western and Mariposa have been run ming on the outside, but the new or der has already gone into effect and the calls are to be made regularly hereafter both north and southbound. The ships are now in splendid condi- ton with the Northwestern in re- serve. there is no reason why the Mariposa and Alameda cannot main- tain fast schedule the year round.
 With ample time for the run from Juneau to the Westward as far as Seward and return there is no reason why the passage should not be as safe as on the outside, especially when the officers are all instructed to look to the safety of the ship first and con slider the time card afterward
 Juneau will receive greater benefit than any other place over this new arrangement; Douglas and Tread, well. too, will share in it on account of their location on the opposite side of the harbor.
 "The company is certainly to be congratulated for making this move" said a Front street business man. flor while it will serve to visibly increase Juneau's activity and place it in quick and more regular communication with Puget Sound points, the company itself will gain a point of vantage by increasing in favor with our people"
 Agent W. E. Nowen says that the order also provides that all the freighters on the run will stop here. Mir Nowell has arranged for the post ing Of all movements of the company's vessels in conspicuous places.

GIRL IN MINNESOTA
 LIKE HELEN KELLER

FARIBAULT, Minn.-At the State school for deaf and dumb here is one of the brightest little girls in the country. Vera Mabel Cannon, 15, comes from St. Paul. At the age of four she suffered severe illness which left her blind and later she lost her power of speech and hear ing. Then she was brought to the school here. She has learned so rap idly that she has been called the Helen Keller of St. Paul."
 Blanche Hansen, who also is deaf, a graduate of the school, as well as of Gallaudet College, of Washington, D. C., is her special teacher During her first day in school she defined tho three short words "ban," "doll" and bear" Since then her vocabu- lary has increased to about 4,OOO words.
 This extremely happy ambitious, sweet dispositioned child of fine mentality writes very good English, is very fond of reading books in raised types, writes on an ordinary typewriter and Braiie writer, uses "the square hand" in writing with a pencil on a grooved board, and does neat sewing.
 She also has learned some local geography. biography, nature study and arithmetic One of her most not able achievements is summarizing the daily lectures, which are delivered in the sign language and spelled into vera's hand by her teacher,
