PANAMA MODELS
NOW ON EXHIBITION
Car Open at Short Line Station
Daily in Realistic Display.
FROM 9 A, M. TO 10 P. M.
An Educational Object Lesson Of
CuIebra Cut and Panama
Canal.

For educational purposes nothing
has been seen in Annapolis for many
| a day that is of the instructive in
terest as the exhibition of models OF
the Panama Canal, now open daily in
the ear of the Panama Canal Exhibi-
tion Company. on siding at the
Short Line depot.
The exhibit opened this morning at
O'Clock and will be open continu-
ously from that hour TO 10 p. m. for
few days, if patronage iustifies.
An admission zee of 25 cents is
charged for adults, 10 cents for chill
dren, but it is well worth the money.
People spend a thousand dollars to
visit Panama, see the canal and can
nave ii brought to their own door in
Annapolis and leari great deal
more for only 25 cents.
The exhibit is endorsed by the lead
ing men and institutions of the coun-
try. The Chamber of Commerce at
Washington thought so mich of it
that they gave a big dinner at the
New Willard in honor of the exibi-
tors and their exhibition of the mod
els in thAt city.
The car is completely equipped
for the purpose and the models are
beautifully mounted. A lecture is
given every half hour by Mr.. Curran,
and is most interesting and instruc-
tive. First, he begins to describe
and explain an upright model which
covers all in substance, which the
lecture later covers in detail. The
model shows the Panama Canal on
scale representing 436 miles in area,
1873 billion cubic feet of earth was cut
from the Gatun Lock which is at an
elevation of 85 ieet.
The cost of the Panama Canal,
when completed, is $400, 600, 600. It's
models show The complete method
and system of allowing vessels to
pass. None is entered into the canal
under its own steam, but is towed
by & locomotive tenders in front and
one in the rear, as a retard.
The Pedro Miguel Locks are most
interesting. There are two of these
The one most used, however, will
be that for vessels measuring from
400 to 600 feet, because 95 per cent
of all Sc seagoing vessels are within
500 feet in length. Every safety
device and appliance is provided.
There are devices of double gates,
chain tenders and safety removable
dams
Some of the locks are 1000 feet
long and l10 feet wide. The models
show coaling stations and buoys
lighted with ac stelyn gas and meth
cd and system of lights at the en-
trance with $1,000, 600 candlepower
which can be seen from ten to eigh-
teen miles.
Lights along the shore are so ar
ranged to guide vessels. The model
of the Culebra Cut shows where the
greatest excavations were made. At
its minimum width there were 1O,-
600, 600 cubic yards of earth and rock
removed In September or October,
when the Panama Canal is completed,
the Panama Railroad Dyke will De
blown up, indicative of the finish of
this great work.
The models are complete in the
most minute details, and are very in
teresting. Everyone interested should
endeavor to see the exhibit before
it leaves Annapolis.

One hundred and seventy-four bales
wagon cotton received at Americas
warehouses yesterday ran the total
receipts near the thousand-bale mark,
which will be reached and far exceed
ed in today's receipts. The marekt yes
terday was active and strong, Americas
buyers paying within slight fraction
of twelve cents for the staple. or II

vailing price for the day was II 81

that position.

had the most control was next staged.
A small target was erected at second
base and the men stood back of home
and tried to hit it. Each man was
given three throws. Fillingem, the
Cordele spit-ball artist, was the only
one that came within mile of it.
In circling the bases, Bernstein fell
while coming home, and Bowden was
the winner. The Georgia boy made
fine time for the circuit, as he went the
the distance in 1873 seconds.
The fans and the players are strong
for a repetition of the field day next
year. Now that it has made its debit
at the local park the next one held will
draw even larger crowd than this
one.

Daily Batting Averages

The batting averages as published
below wind up the 1918 season. Amer
icus has a bunch of sluggers and OPP.
posing pitchers have hard time with
them. Five of the men are hitting IN
and around the coveted 300 mark.
These averages are not official, but
they are The T.-R. averages. Once or
twice when the official score was not
available, we have gone by our own
score, and this may cause a few devia-
tons from the official averages

An account of the game would NOT
be complete without making some
special mention of the sensational
work of Brazier in left field. He rob-
he'd the boys of hits two different times

nose himself for a couple.

Bowen was one and Height to Rip tc
Eubanks was the other. Both teams
fielded like big league outfits and
neither side made an error.
When Dick Manchester came to the
bat in the fourth Col. Dean Nesbit or
the local bar walked from the grand
stand and after delivering a very ap-
propriate speech presented the local
catcher with the loving cup that he
had won in the Atlanta Georgian popu-
larity contest. Contrary to custom,
Dick proceeded to get a safe
hit and then coolly stole second AMI
home. Dicks mother was in the
grandstand, and that partly explains
his spectacular work.
Each and every one of the local
boys deserve a column of praise for
their good work, not only in yester-
days game, but for all the season.
But here goes for the game, taken

NOME. ALASKA. NOV. 10. 1918.

Spring may seem a good WAY nT just now but it will roll roundi before 'Sc know il Grd when II comes thci, Is going to be d very merry little tinc in politics here In Alaska. There are going to he city elections and later there will he assembly elections and the election of a national delegate.
 \ good many men take these cleo tions seriously. good many more men take them as matter of course and vote with the party without much re- fiection as to the qualifications of the candidate or much absolute knowledge of what the party platform stands for. It Is safe to say that two-thirds of the men voters of the country inherit their politics. They vote the way father did. They are democrats or republicans be- cause the family has always been dem ocrats or republican and few of them are progressives because they were sore at the two old parties for one reason or another and because they wanted to get on to the Roosevelt ian band wagon. That same band wagon having lost a wheel in the political mu pduddle it seems that. so far as Alaska Is concerned anyway. it may be eliminated and we will be called upon to vote for men sworn to uphold the principles of the democratic or re- publican party.
 As far as these two old line parties 20 there Is not much choice between them. Both have good blanks in their platforms. both have rotten blanks in their platform and both are more or less corrupt and. in national affairs at least are influenced by the moneyed intersts of New York
 However. we will not have to bother about national policies up here in Alaska at the coming elections. Our issues are going to be more or less local.
 The average male voter Is hopeless. Dad was a republican or Dad was a democrat and 1t is ten to one that sonny is going to be just the same. What was good enough for Dad will be good enough for Johny because Johny Is firmly convinced that the old. man was right and he has never taken the trouble to find out why he should vote for one party or another Johny doesn't work his brain and he toddles up to the polls and casts an hereditary vote.
 This year. however there is going to be a new element In Alaska politics. For the first time women are going to cast a vote. It is to be hoped that this new experience will be taken seriously by the women. That they will use their own brain in figuring out why they should vote for one candidate or another. They have been given the elective franchise, now let us see if
