RECRUIT DALEY PLAYS IMPORTANT
PART IN The ATHLETICS EFFORTS

Outfelder Daley, a recruit grabbed
from the Los Angeles club In the Pa
cific Coast league Mst fall by Connie
Mack, played an important part in
yesterdays contest.
His hitting twice sent in Athletic
runs. His great catch of Crawford in
the eighth inning threatened TO pune
ture the rally that finally gave the
Tigers the lead. and his tumble OF
Cobb's hit in the tenth put Ty in po-
sition to force Mack to adopt a sys-

Daley is mighty fast little man. In
the second inning Bush went over be-
tween the pitchers box and second
and threw him out, but DOME had to
put all the hustle there was in him to
do IT. Daley fell down badly trying
to bunt in the fourth, popping to Mo-
riarty.
Daley hit 1872 in the Pacific Coast
league last year and stole "a bases in

prominent bag pilferers.

he determined that he would enter

the ball during his flight. so he was
not allowed to tarry longer.
Strange to say. Oscar did get Il
triple, the next time at bat, the one
that scored the run that prevented the
Athletics taking he game. Murphy
was abou to field his fly to deep righ,
when he fell and Oscar went to third.

United States District Attorney Rodey, of Nome, a while before his resignation was called for, gave out the following opinion of the laws passed by the territorial legislature: "Fhe or- ganic act by which Alaska was given its ! legislature provides that no one hold ! ing a commission as office holder from the United States in Alaska should hold any office under the territory, yet the legislature has passed several lave imposing additional duties on clerks of courts, commissioners and others, and the question arises, is such a law valid or should the territory create oficiale 1 for itself. The organic act also restricts the local legislature from meddlinR with certain national license laws, etc., now in force in Alaska and among them ! the laws providing for taxes on busi- ness and trade, but it also states that this proviso shall not operate to pre-
 vent the legislature from imposing other or additional taxes or licenses. The legislature went on and imposed many new taxes and additional taxes and sometimes on the same things on which congress had already imposed taxes without saying whether they are separate or include the congressional ones, and provides that the clerks of the court shall collect them as they collect other licenses. All of this bae resulted in grave doubt as to the valid l ity of some of the local laws and is puzzliug not only the local district attorneys but the department ofjustice itself and the latter will have to advise She customs officials about the tonnage tax and other matters" There was only one thing that the legislature very soon decided lhey could not molest. That was the big corporation fish traps. They were held sacred.

That one of the numerous earth ouakes which were felt in this vicinity during 1912 was responsible for chang ing the course of glacial spring at Olnes is the opinion of many residents of this district, who formerly obtained their water supply from the water spout. The spring was located within a short distance off, the Olnes railroad station, and without any apparent cause suddenly discontinued throwing forth water. Although ihe railroad of
 ficials tried again to find the water vein, their efforts were in vain, and the water supply from that source was cut off entirely. Shortly afterward a new flow of water broke forth about 800 feet from Che station, and it is thought that it is the same stream that shifted its course. Manager Joynt, of the Panama Valley railroad, is now installing a power pump that will bring the water to the station, and thereby save the long haul that was occasioned by the work of characterization Times.

The use of the divining rod in locat- ing water and metal deposits is due to a expectations delusion and will grad ually be abandoned in the opinion of Dean Minor Roberts of the University of Washington school of mines. BOs- ton officials have recently taken up the use of Che Y-shaped twig to locate water aud seem to be firm in the belief that the theory of the divining rod is still firm. "I have no faith in the di- wing rod, said Dean Roberts. "A man will obtain Yshaped branch of hazel wood or willow and grip the two ends with bis thumbs down. When che ter minal end dips they swear that it is be. cause the water is below, and that these water loving woods have a natural af- hnity for it, consequently they dive down. think the real cause for the stick to dip is purely muscular ace tion, and that when you grip the wood hard you unconsciously cause it to vibrate up or down.

The smallness of the world can be brought home to mind by the thought of the extent of the country which lies nearest to this part of Alaska-Russia. From Boring straits one need travel just through that one land and reach China, Persia, Austria and Scandinavia. That one country connects, one might say.our own famed Kotzebue sound, or, anyway, the Diomede islands, and their walrus hunting Capsenicks and Peluks, with the land of Omar. the dominion of Coufucius, the home of the Gotbs and Huns, and the race that discovered Anvil creek. Around that one country are the civilizations of the Orient and the Occident Across a strip of water to the south may be seen the glimmer of the lights of the mosques of Con- stantinople aud the Sublime Porte and the Turkish gunboats in the Dardan- elles. while across strip of water to North can be seen the iRloos of Teller city and Shismaref and the lights of the Mary Sachs that went through more vicissitudes than any old Turkish gum boat, by the way.-Nome Nugget.

FRANCHISE
NEED NOT
Be GIVEN
J.W. Buckin Favors
Regulation by
Ordinance
CITYHASPOWER

That the city need not extend nor
renew the present franchise held by
the Mountain States Telephone COM
pany, which expires in June, 1914,
but should regulate the service and
rates of the company by ordinance, is
the declaration of Senator James w.
Bucklin. who wrote the charter which
gives such unusual power to the city.
This is exactly what Denver is do
ing now under the Brown ordinance,
which makes tremendous reductions
in the rates for telephone service in
that city and the recent district court
decision by Judge Dennison upholds
the right. The United States supreme
court decision in the water suit in
ferentially sustains the same position.
Mr.. Bucklin takes the position that
after the franchise expires the phone
company is doing business here by
sufferance only and that instead of
extending the franchise for another
twenty years the city should merely
frame an ordinance which should reg
ulate the company This ordinance
should recite the certain features of
service which the company must furn
ish to subscribers and the rates above
which it shall not charge
"The city has all this power" de-
clared Mr.. Bucklin. and 1t is much
better than the old way since, it. can
be changed at the pleasure OF the
city council to meet new conditions
Mr. Bueklin -dvors n UNION of. all
the cities In western Colorado at
least where franchises are tc expire
soon and let all these municipalities
stand together In their demand for
better service ana cheaper rates.
He also suggests that commission
of business m De appointed to in
vestigate the situation and devise the
new ''demandments of the city
which should be placed in the pro-
pcsed new ordinance.
1t is unlikely tnat any action such
/ as this will be taken for several
months, however. II is believed
/ however, that these expressions from
Senator Bucklin reflect pretty ac-
curately the attitude of the city ad-
ministration.
