Dixie s; B. & H. 0

On Saturday, May 10, the Dixie
baseball team defeated the
. strong Branham & Hughes
bunch in the Athletic Park in
Nashville in an interesting but
one-sided game. This team,
coached by the renowned Ray
Morrison, came up with the ex-
pectation of winning, which
has been their usual custom,
but against the mountain boys
there was simply nothing do
ing as they had to bite the dust
of defeat to the tune of 8 to 0.
In this game the Dixie boys
showed their true form by play
ing rings around their oppon-
ents in all departments of the
game. After the first inning
Dixie fell upon Hurts offerings
and from then on it was only to
be decided as to whether they
would hold out running bases
or have to be carried off the
field exhausted.
One of the most important
factors of the game was the SUI
perb pitching of Jones, he strik
ing out no less than 16 men and
giving only one free pass. Dur
ing the entire game the B. & H.
boys were only able to connect
with him one time safely and
two scratches. The patriotic
fans at Sulphur Dell went wild
over Jones' pitching, declaring
he was better than any pitcher
Nashville had except Beck.
The game was also kept in
hand by the sensational catch
ing of Russell, who ca meto Dix
lie with a rep. and determines to
hold it. With all the speed and
curve that Jones could put on
the ball not one could find safe
landing except in Russell's NIT.
But one man was able to steal
bases, this being one of their
four year track men, and he
stole with difficulty.
The work of the infield was
alright and well above the av-
erage found in prep. schools.
On several occasions after hard
runs they would knock down
balls that looked to be sure hits.
Especial mention should be
made of a stop and throw from
behind third base by White,
with a man on third and two
down.
Too much praise cannot be Civ
en- for the excellent fielding and
batting of the Outfield, as there
was not single error chalked
against either fielder and each
connected safely with the horse
hide. The longest hit of the
game was made by Haithcock,
almst to the top of the right
field dump.

Dear Herald Family: Just a
a short letter this time concern
ing the money for our EDITORS
present. Up to date only two
persons have responded, Mr..
Smith of Indiana, and Mrs.
Clark of Louisiana, but | wall
not tell just now the amount
they sent, but will say this, if
all the Herald family would do
as well as they, or even half so
we'll, our editor would get a
present that the president of
the United States should be
proud of.
But however small the sum is
will be appreciated for | am
sure most every one will be
glad to contribute to this call,
and even the children can have
a part in the EDITORS present;
and parents if your child has
only penny and wants to send
it, let it do so. l believe in en-
couraging the children in ev-
erything that is good. This old
world would be a sad place were
there no children in it. Just
one place we have heard of
where the are no children, and
that is the bottomless pit.
The home, the church and the
Sunday School are not complete
without children. God bless;
they are the sweetest and pur-
est things on this earth, If poor
old maids and nervous married
women do dread their noise.
Now here l am writing more
than l intended to, so back to
the subject.
Now friends, the editor has
been kind enough to tell us
when his birthday is, so let's
get busy, and please do not be
later than May 25th instead of
May 80, and when it all comes
and the present bought and
sent to the editor l shall give
the name of each sender and
also the amount. l am sure the
editor will give me space in the
Herald. Now this is the last
letter l shall write on the sub
ject. A few lines more and I
will close.

 PAST ARCTIC CHIEF

Last Monday evening, at A. B Hall, Iditarod, Past Arctic Chief Cyril P. Wood was the recipient of handsome charm, as a souvenir of his term as Arctic Chief of Camp Iditarod No. 2, A. B. The jewel is of gold, set with diamonds, and is beautiful example of the jewell CTS art. It was ordered specially from Fairbanks, but arrived too late to be presented to Mir. Wood on installation night.
 Arctic Chief Sam Bayles, in a neat presentation speech, eulogized the Past Arctic Chief and the ser vices he had rendered to the lodge during his incumbency.
 In acknowledging the gift Past Arctic Chief Wood thanked the lodge members for their generous recognition and appreciation of bis efforts, and assured them he never would forget their kindness.

NEW KOYUKUK
 TRADING OUTFIT

According to the Fairbanks Citizen a new company has been formed to deal with the koyukuk passenger and freight trade The enterprise will be known as the Koyukuk Trading and Transportation Company. and its incOr- porators are Captain Langley, J. C. Kinney. F. J. Hackett and J. W. Me Cord, who plan to operate boats from the Yukon up the koyuhuk, as far as the river will permit.
 hs soon as the river clears two boats will be placed on the run-the Dusty Diamond and the Ben Hur. Both of these vessels are we'll known: they are of light draft. and we'l-litted for the Koyukuk service. Later in the season the Martha Glow will be added to the fleet.
 It is understood in Iditarod that sev era} parties will leave for the Koyukuk during the coming summer, and doubt less some Of them will be glad to learn of the new facilities offered for reach ing that remote district. The fame of the Koyukuk as a working miners camp has spread far and wide, but up to date it's inaccessibility has been a deterrent to many fortune seekers. With the inauguration of regular service, such as is promised, there should begin a new era of development in the camp of the midnight sun.

IDITAR0D MAY GET
 BIG POWER PLANT

There is a possibility that the Yukon Gold Company will erect a large powerhouse at Idltarod city. It is said by those in a position to know that the question of fuel is likely to be a serious one for the company unless other sources ot supply can be tapped, a il it is that which leads to the belief that this place may be chosen as the site for the new powerhouse.
 The amount of wood available on Otter and tributary creeks will not be very large after this year, but there are practically lneNhaustlble supplies on Bonanza and the upper Idita1od. With the installation of the power plprt at Iditarod both these sources of supply would be available e tue wood being rafted down ou the high water.

NEW YORK CITY
 IS LARGEST PORT

New York city is the largest port in the world, according 10 the World Almanac for 1913. For nigh 200 years this honor has belonged to old London, but now the great city of the Western world has wrested her supremacy from Ter, and she now ranks second.
 In 1912 London trade amounted to the stupenduous sum of $l.79I,- S5z 6+1, but New York $ total was SIPS ,69o,I25. The difference is not great, but significant.
 On the other hand the second port in the United States is New Orleans, with an annual trade ot S224,25o,797, while no less than six British ports make a bigger showing. The third port in the world is Hamburg, and the fourth Liverpool. A year or 50 ago Liv- erpool ranked second.

Proposed New Mail Route

MT Bayles said that with regard to the resolution he had introduced tue previous week suggesting a change i'll the mail route, he had interviewed several people regard ing the matter, and they were not favorabiy disposed towards the pro- posed new route. Therefore he thought it best to let the matter rest for the present, especially i'll view of the fact that the postofllce inspector was expected here within a short time.
 Mir. Holmes supported Bayles' view. He had spoken 10 Bob Grlffis and others who knew both roules, and had been informed nothing could be saved by the change, as the proposed new route was more difficult 10 negotiate than the one now travelled. G!iffls said if the change were made he could not possibly tender for the contract ex- cept at higher figure.
 The resolution was laid on the table.
