the National League either is im-
mediately followed, or sometimes
preceded, by mention Of Murphy.
This IS exactly as Murphy would
have H. He does not worry over
the manner in which he becomes a
dominant figure in situation, and
other magnates and members Of the
National Commission realize that
some plan OF applying the muller
must be found.
In the grouping around for a plan
OF elimination it was reported here
today that attorneys had expressed
the opinion that the seven other
clubs in the National League
might legally forfeit their franchises
in the circuit. This would leave
Murphy with the Cubs and seven
forfeited franchises. The other clubs.
il Is said, could then form q new
circuit and Murphy would be free
TO set up a league of his own II he
cared to.

When you lose the fisheries of Alaska. or the bulk of if, and become merely a distributing point, you will realize what they meant to you before" The doctor called attention to the in. mediate need of the bureau of fisheries for more boats, more men, and more money, in order to properly conserve the great fisheries of Alaska.

While in Seattle, United States Dep
 uty Fish Commissioner Jones told the commercial club about Alaska and the danger of Seattle losing the Alaska fish trade. He said: "Prince Rupert today is offering every inducement to the fishing interests 10 come there and es. tablish their plants and make it their home. You cannot blame the fisher
 men. They can chip their fish into Prince Rupert for S15O ton. It costs them, with wharfage, S4 ton to deliver the fish at Seattle. Just think of it.! Sites are being offered for the fisher- men to go there and establish them
 selves. One of the best ways of over- coming this great difficulty before us, is to ask congress to pass law requir
 ing American bottoms 10 deliver their fish at American ports. That is all right as far as it goes, but you cannot blame business man for delivering his fish at the cheapest port. Another way is up to the railroads. They must offer to the people of Alaska, the people who are shipping from Alaska, terminal rates, especially to Southeastern Alas
 ka, or they cannot expect to compete with the Grand Trunk Pacific or any Canadian railroads. By way example, can you conceive of the Canadian gov
 ernment allowing a Montreal concern to come down to Seattle, establish it

Horrible Means of Shielding
 Windt Heldt, a resident of Valdez, committed suicide last week by chop ping his head literally to pieces with an axe.
 Aeldt had been in the employ of the road commission during the past sum- mer, and passed through Cordova enroute to Valdez a short time ago, and was registered at the Rauier Grand, says the Cordoya Alaskan.
 shortly after arriving at Valdez, Heldt hunted up everybody in town to whom he was indebted and paid up, saying that hs wanted to be square with the world. That evening after he retired he got out of bed and went out the back door of the cabin he occu pied with two other men. Just outside the door was block of wood in which wac sticking a double bitted axe This Heldt withdrew from the block and seating himself upon the latter pro- ceeded to chop his head with the axe, indicting no less than seventy five wounds, before his companions were attracted to the scene. Heldt was over powered aud taken into the cabin 1 Notwithstanding his awful deed he appeared perfectly sane. He told bis companions that he knew they could not give him a gun to complete the job, but begged them to put one cartridge in a rife and then go after a bucket of water.
 HelGrs head was literally hacked to pices, and though removed to to the hospital and given every care, he died the following morning.
 lie was buried at Valdez by the Eagle lodge, of which organization he was a member. He is survived by oue child, who resides somewhere in the states.
 Heldt gave no reason for his rash act, and his friends can give none, as he was apparently in good health and had not been drinking to excess.

The Seward Gateway expects that coal will be g ton in that city. It says: A local man who has made study of coal and the cost of producing it in Pennsylvania says thstit is mined there for 30 or 8 cents a ton. It costs about ten or fifteen cents to load on the cars. Iron ore is hauled on the great lakes for thirty cents ton for a thousand miles, and it is estimated that coal is hauled on the railroads outside for not more than fifty cents ton, SO by these figures we can make a fairly good guess at what coal will cost here and along the coast when the Matanuska fields are opened.

Meeting at Mitchell-RepOrt of the
Years Work.

Mitchell. Oct. S.-The annual
meeting of the board of trustees of
the South Dakota Antisaloon league
was held in the directors room of
the Western National bank at Mitch
ell.
The reports of the various officers
for the past year were very encour-
aging, the treasurer's report showing
the receipt of $12,776.10, an increase
of $5,O61.30 over the preceding year.
The balance on hand at the close of
the year was $40. The total amount
placed on the books in cash and sub
scriptions was $14,S27.79, as COM
pared with $10,050 for the preceding
year. The books of the league were
audited before the board meeting by
Jay w. Miller, an expert accountant.
The following officers were reflect
ed for the coming year: President,
Rev. J. s. Hagland, ID. D.; vice presi-
dent, N. Il. Dawes; secretary, Rev. j.
r. Booth; treasurer, l.. S. Vickers.
On the list of members at large of
the board of trustees, Mr.. Geo. M. l..
Erwin of Aberdeen was substituted
for Mr.. A. A. Rowen of Parker.
The superintendent report stated
that in South Dakota there are 400
dry towns and 127 wet ones, the net
gain in dry towns at the election last
spring being 80. Nineteen counties
in this state are entirely dry. The
league distributed free a ton of lit
erature during the no-license cam
paign last spring and is conducting a
/ vigorous campaign of publicity all
over the state. The law enforcement
activities OF the organization have
been marked, and about fifty persons
have been arrested on complaints
filed by the superintendent himself.
and as many others on complaints
filed by states attorneys and Others
on evidence furnished by the antisa-
loon league. Several thousand dol
lars have been collected in fines and
a large amount of time spent in jail
by ~bootleggers, blind piggers, saloon
keepers, druggists or others. The SUI
perintendent's report urged the pass
age of legislation which will make il
easier to secure evidence against
druggists who are known to be sell
ing liquor in violation of the law, and
also to secure other drastiee anti
liquor measures aimed to cripple the
liquor traffic.
The committee on resolutions pass
ed resolutions expressing their conf
dence in the superintendent and the
/ workers connected with the league
and also in recognition of the en-
larged prestige which the league has
in the state at this time. Resolu-
tions were adopted calling upon the
United States senators and congress
men from South Dakota to support
the national prohibition resolution
now before congress. Another reso.
luton called attention to the lawless-
ness existing in certain sections oil
| the state and paid special attention
| to the situation in Deadwood, de.
handing in the name of the decent
| people of South Dakota that the city
and county officials clean up and en-.
force the laws, thereby removing
from the entire state a disgrace sc
keenly felt in every section of the
commonwealth,

EARLY DAYS
Rev. John Eastman Tells of Deer and
Buffalo i'm This Section.

Sioux Falls, Oct. S.-Just think of
hunting deer and seeing herds of buff
falo wallowing along practically
where Sioux Falls 10Y stands. That
is what Rev. John Eastman, a Pres
byterian minister, located at S~isseton
has done. Rev. Eastman is in the
city on his way to Mitchell TO attend
the synod of the Presbyterian church
of South Dakota. From Mitchell he
will go to Yankton and then return
to his home at Sisseton.
II first saw Sioux Falls in the
spring of 1869. My fathers family
was one of fifteen that moved from
the Sauntee agency in Nebraska to
Moody county for the purpose OF set
thing on Indian lands near where
Flandreau is now located. We passed
through Sioux Falls and Ii was the
first time that / v e set my eyes on
what is now such a beautiful city.
Sioux Falls at that time consisted OF
the soldiers barracks, the small
frame hotel (Cataract) and Towards
store.
In those day there was plenty of
deer hunting in these parts. Deer
| was abundant in the timber north of
the city, but Think that 1869 or 10
| saw the last Of the deer In this inn
| mediate vicinity. AS late as 1878
we journeyed to the Rock river near
| where Luverne is to hunt for deer
| in the timber in that section.
1.-The last herd of buffalo that
| ever saw running wild was in Moody
county. There were ten or a dozen
in the bunch. This was In June.
1862"
Rev. Eastman was pastor of the
Indian church at Flandreau for thirty
years, but six years ago moved to Sis
seton and has since been the pastor OF
] the Good Will Mission church at that
place. Rev. Eastman Ii a brother of
