Stampede Had Sudden Ending.

The stampede to Crow creek seems to have subsided as suddenly as it started The last of the stam- peders returned Sunday and about all they have to tell is that the creek has been staked from end to end.
 The origin of the rush is very simple. Wayne Doolin got hunch that there is a chance for gold on the creek and induced George Riley to go with him and have a look. After sizing up the situation they staked with the object of doing some work later. Their movements were observed and the stampede resulted.

Fisher secretary pro tenn. It was moved and seconded that the sec retary be instructed to communicate with each one of the Fairbanks papers, also the different clubs and business men. The citizens here agreed to open the trail at this end to either the Trapper's cabin or Log Jam, to connect with the Happy trail, providing the people of Fair banks would open the other end to make connection. If we could mako an agreement to this effect, We think it would improve conditions both here and in Fairbanks, as it is the only winter trail that freight could be landed here with the least difficulty.
 Yours truly.

 Big enough" may mean almost
 anything. In Jack McAuliffe's day | it might have meant S20, for Jack sometimes fought for less than that. | In Fitzsimmons' day it might have i been a hard, thin dime, for Fitz-

 Camera Would Help.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 21-Race off cials would help the sport immensely if they used a moving picture cam era at the finish of all races That would prevent the possibility of error in Judgment as to the winner and the money horses in each race.
 The racing game, both the trot- ting and running departments, are replete with instances where the spectators have disagreed with the nose finishes. In view of the fact that the public bets it's money on the races and that it is entitled to every bit of protection possible, it seems that the racing associations should use a motion picture camera so that in case of dispute the came "a films could be called upon to tell the true story.
 motion picture camera could get the horses as they come into the stretch and carry them right along across the finish line. It could be focused squarely at the finish line 30 that when the film is produced it would show which horse was ahead
 During recent race at Detroit. there were two finishes so close that the judges decided to wait until the pictures were developed which a photographer took. However, these pictures were snapshot affairs, and they didn't help much because it IS almost impossible for a snapping camera to get the horse on the frac- tion of the second that the winner crosses the finish line The snap camera usually gets the horse a fraction before or fraction after

 This summer the Willow creek dredge did not turn a wheel and re- cent arrivals from the Casa declare that that machine is now in very bad shape. Jerry Wilson, who one time operated the dredge and for which operations the crew is still seeking remuneration, did not arrive in this spring. Jerry Wilson is now defendent in suit brought against him by a lady who claims to have grubstaked him before he located upon Ophir creek. and is now demanding seven million dol lars damages. If Jerry could only dig up seven million, he would glad ly pay the lady six million of it. Nome Industrial Worker.

 w. j. (Weezer) Dell, young pitch CT of the Brooklyn National league club, whose excellent twirling has been a big factor in the recent climb of the Superbas to the fore rank of the circuit, says that he be came a pitcher by accident. Nine years ago, when Dell was playing amateur ball in Butte, Mont, his regular place was on first base. One day the team was short of pitch CTS. and he was sent to the mound as an emergency twirler. Dell did so we'll that he was promoted to the hurling staff of the team. Will liam Robinson, manager of the Su- perbas, is on the lookout for a few more made-oyer first basemen, who can pitch as well as "Weezer.' Model Umpire" Stopped
 By Leader of Pirates.
 Fred Clarke, as any fan or player knows, was real outfielder when he u-oo n hn n everything, but particularly in an argument with the umpire. He never was a runner up as they say in golf, when he was exchanging per sonalities with the ump, and you have to be mighty quick with the tongue even to hold your own with some of the men who call 'em as they see 'em.
 One day Fred said something to an umpire who is still one of the best known men on President Teners staff. The ump came back with:
 Well, you are some ballplayer you are, old boy"
 And you are some umpire, you are, old boy" Fred shot back Why, to tell the truth, you are model umpire. and that isn't joke, either"
 Think so?" answered the ump iE all seriousness.
 Yes indeed said Clarke "I not only think so, but I know I'm right. When you get to your hotel tonight, look up model in Websters diction ary and see if Pm not right"
 Next day the ump went up to Clarke as soon as he came on the field and said:
 Say, you've got me wrong. You don't know what model is, do you?"
 Sure l do,' Fred said, quick as fire. It's a small imitation of the real thing"
 And with this shot Clarke hur- liedly walked away, and it took that ump five minutes to come back to earth.
