GOVERNOR STRONG OF ALASKA
SUBMITS INTERESTING REPORT
Mineral Output Runs Millions
Market for Million Dollars
Fifty Millions Of Acres Agriculture Stock
kaisng-Needs Of the Territory Pointed

Washington, nov. 16.-With an
optimistic picture of Alaska's tut-
ure, Governor F. A. Strong. in his
annual report submitted today to
Secretary Lane. urged that the gov
eminent exercise closer supervision
Tor the conservation of the territory's
wealth OF fisheries, pointed out the
need for the construction of a system
OF wagon roads and trails to supple
ment government railroads and de-
clare means must be taken to stamp
out disease among the native pooula-
ton. 4s
With the promise that the future
holds said Gov. Strong, land the
exact knowledge of the extent and
variety of the great mineral and
other resources of Alaska, coupled
with the new rboad policy of devel-
opment which the government has
tnaugurated, Alaska, it is confidently

important place in the mining, in

in the game today. Rudolph is not a
pitcher with n lot of stuff on the
ball
He relies mainly on n splitter and
a slow curve. His fast ball is Of lit
tie account, except to use as change
Of pace and as fooler when the
other side IS not looking for 1t. But
Rudolph never pitches a ball without
knowing exactly where it is going
and why it is going there. His con-
trOl is perfect, and mis- knowledge of
batters is uncanny. He stopped
series simply by handling the slugger
no balls that looked good TO hin, but
always forcing him to nit a slow
curve inside, which is the one ball
that Eaker can not lay his bat against
with effect. Baker did not get II
single ball to his liking in the two
games that Rudolph pitched in the
series. Dick handled the other Ath-
letic sluggers with equal skill and
SO held them to two runs in IS in
nings. The compliment that Matty
hands him is well deserved, aud 1t
is also credit to the veteran to be
so liberal in his recognition of the
merits of a young pitcher

TAX FOR PRIVILEGE TO FISH
RECOMMENDED BY GOVERNOR.

" THE system of Relating taxes
he said, in return for the release of
salmon fry by some of the canneiy
companies operating hatchcries is.
and always has been, more or less of
n solemn farce. No one has benefited
except the cannery companies which
are thus given n direct bonus by the
operation of the rebating system and
the government has been deprived
yearly of substantial amount of
taxes ..H
These fisheries should be held in
trust for all the people and not re-
served for wholesale exploitation.
This statement applies not alone to
the salmon fisheries, but to all the
others prosecuted in Alaska: and
those who are engaged in the indus
try should be compelled to pay u
Just and reasonable tax for the priv
ilebes which they enjoy" The Gov
ernor added that taxes were levied
on the salmon output alone.

URGES ALASKA GOVERNMENT
BE MADE FULL TERRITORIAL.

Gradual transition from placer to
lode mining was Indicated in the
gold industry, Governor Strong said,
but the building of roads probably
would result in increased output
from the placer mines Decrease in
the 1918 output. he said. was partly
accounted for by shortage Of water
in the placer mining regions which
curtailed operations. Governor
Strong urged that Alaska be given a
full terrltoryial form of government.
Under enlarged powers" he said,
mo additional expense to the feder.
al government would be entailed,
and matters which properly belong
to the legislative functions of the To-

no doubt that If not eradicatcd. in

MATTY HOLDS
RUDOLPH BEST
. LEAGUE nURLER

New York, Nov. 6.-Christy
Mathewson extends the greatest pos
siblo compliment TO young pitcher
when he says. as he did the other
day, that Dick Rudolph of the cham
pion Braves, is the smartest hurler
new working in baseball. Coming
from the Old Master himself, this ia
indeed boost, for Matty has always
been and still is one of the most in
telligent artists that ever faced line
of heavy batters. Ma.ty in his palmy
days had more stuff on the ball than
he uses now. but lie seldom was
forced to extend himself to the limit,
for the simple reason that he made a
very careful study of opposing bat
ters and fooled them with his head
as much as with his arm. Matty
was never IL no-hit pitcher or a
maker OF strikG-oHt records.
He seldom held a cluD to less than
six hits. but the runs resulting from
these hits were few and hard to get.
Matty was from the start of his ca
reer wise enough TO conserve his
strength and energy, aud that is the
reason why he is still master after
IA years of hard service in fast COM
pany Therefore, what Matty has to
say about Rudolph is authoritative.
He declares that the Boston curve
baller is the best worker of opposing
batters in the business today. and
that is saying all that can be said.
Matty saw all of the games OF the
worlds series and watched carefully
every ball that was pitched. lie came
to the conclusion that Rudolph work
ed his men better than anyone else
