Sarcasm Answered in FA1nd
 Douglas, May F, 1914. To tbe Editor
 Referring to Prof Bells challenge in Friday evenings papers, the Douglas High in turn challenges Juneau to a game Sunday morning at Juneau, as it had been arranged. It is impossible for the Douglas High to play baseball now in the evening.
 There was some mistake about Prof Bells trying a "dozen" times to get a game with us. l have never been ap- preached once. Probably if the two managers of the respective teams would get together something would be de- cided on-not the way Prof Bell went at it, beating around the bush. Moth ing was ever accomplished that way.
 Referring to the charge chat we are afraid-why, we have already twice played the Juneau High and skinned them both times, and we are still will ing to play Prof Bells team any con venient day in the week and twice on Sundays.
 We want Prof. Bell to receive this as a reply to his own sarcastic article. remain respectfully yours,
 COLvILIE GALLWAs, Manager.

Senator Willard has received from Governor Strong q letter regarding members of the last territorial leg islature to secure the enforcement of the laws passed by the first session. but which are imperative because of the duties being placed upon federal otficeholders.
 Senator Willard is anxious to SC cure the passage of laws which will make operative the bills enacted by the representatives of the people of the territory and to that end has been corresponding with Governor Strong and with othr members of the leg islature. On yesterdays mail the sen ator received from Governor Strong , the following copy of telegram from Senators Breeding and Bruner, who are now in Washington The telegram indicates that the two sen ators are urging the adoption by con- gress of bill which would make the acts of the territorial legislature op-- erative immediately This is the bill which is opposed by Delegate Wick ersham
 The letter to the Valdez senator from the governor is as follows: T have your letter of the 22nd ultimo and in reply I may state that fully agree with the statements therein contained and your views up on those questions. which are of par amount importance to the territory. As l wrote you, I have taken up the matter of securing amendments to the organic act with Delegate Wick ersham and Senator Pittman and I trust that we will get some construct i've action and that an extra session of the legislature will not be neces- sary. l am enclosing herewith copy of telegram received from your col leagues in the Territorial Senate, Senators Breeding and Bruner, which would seem to indicate that there is fair prospect of congress giving us some remedial legislation"
