The rule in figuring the standing
of club is the percentage OF games
won and lost and in figuring this
percentage, IL necessary to obtain
any difference in. the respective
standings. would have to be carried
out in decimals, even though 1t eS-
tended into the ten-thousands or
the one hundred thousands. The
quickest method In obtaining the
result Is TO divide the number of
games won by the total number Of
games played, carrying 1t out in
decimals until satisfactory concur
sion is reached in the respective
standing OF the different teams

There are not more than three
papers over the entire circuit whose
standings are alike Even the two
Hoptown papers, the home Of Presi-

can, at least, figure the percentage
which some grapevine sheets can

attempt was to have been made to
dynamite the barracks at Chihuahua

today. If convicted his execution is
expected.
Aside from the uprising Of the vol
urtteer garrison at Suaz, which result
ed yesterday in the execution Of 90 Of
the mutineers the regular troops are
quiet in other parts Of the tSate
The object lesson of the Suaz
slaughter is considered as response
bic for the docile attitude of the vol
unteers at Juarez and at Chihuahua
City. However, a few of the corps
are reported to have escaped with
their arms.
Exiles are beginning to return home
again. Fifty Mexican political refu-
gees boarded a special train here to-
night, the brakeman crying va

passengers have been in the United
States during the revolt against Ma
dero, many of them being prominent
business and professional men.
Col. David de la Fuente, chief Of
staff of SalaZar's rebel army and
named as minister Of communications
in Huerta's provisional cabinet, was
a passenger. He said the train would
be met at Ahumada, between Juarez
and Chihuahua City by Gen. Pascual

Nine persans afflicted with measles and others exposed to the malady, including mem bers of the crew are in quar- antine on the steamer Dora, moored at the local dock. The victims will be removed prob.- ably this evening to a house near the sawmill at the head of the lagoon, where a rigid quarintine will be maintained under the direction of Dr. Romig, town health officer. The expense entalled in the med ical treatment and sustenance will be borne by the Alaska Steamship company, owners of the Dora, that brought the eases here. Precautions are being taken to prevent a spread ofthe contagion.
 On September 16, at the in- ception of the Dora's west bourd voyage. Oscar Nelson, a fireman, developed case of measles. Others sprang from this cvase, until eleven persons attacked have recovered.
 pr. Emil Krulish, of the Uniter States public health service, happened to be at Unalaska; joined the Dora at that point, and took charge of the situation until the steamer arrived here Saturday after noon.

BUSY SCENE AT OIL DOCK

The construction gang at the Oil Dock is making good time at tank building, and the pres ent fine weather is a great help. The naphtha tank is about ready for oil, and the big crude oil tank is now going up. The tank is a whopper, and it is we'll worth a trip out there to see it and the men at work who are. building it. The New England Fish company has had a small tank built on their own property near the big tanks for distillate for their own vessels. The new office building in cluding the wharfinger's resi- dence is nearing completion.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING

Newspaper advertising is so generally scrutinized that some people will say this suggestion is unnecessary. Still there are some people left who would not discover a notice that $10. gold pieces were given away, even if prominently printed in every newspaper. There are some who pay needlessly high prices, because they do not pay careful attention to news paper trade announcements.
 The publisher does not con- sider that when his readers have seen every news item, they have by any means ex- has to give them.
 One of the greatest services the newspaper renders is pro iding an avenue by which merchants and tradesmen can give information about their offerings. Only by keeping track of these offerings can the public know where the best values are to be had Eastern Exchange.
