DONALDSON WILL MAKE
 TWO TRIPS TONIGHT.

The smoker to be given by the Fort Liscum Athletic Club at the Post tonight promises to be well at tended by the men of Valdez. The launch Donaldson will make two trips across the bay to carry the Valdez guests to the entertainment, the boat leaving the City dock at 6:45 o'clock on the first trip and the second trip at 8 o'clock. The committee having charge of the smoker is urging all who can to take the first boat as it is feared the launch will be unable to accommodate all who wish to go on the o'clock trip.
 The program as advertised i'm cludes three boxing contests, wrest- ling matches. bayonet fencing bouts, and other athletic contests. There are some fine athletes among the boys at the Post and an evenings en- tertainment of clean sport is assured all who attend.

AN ALL ALASKA ACT
 BY FAIRBANKS BOYS

Gene Huckins and D. B. Bennett of Fairbanks. will apepar on the vaudeville stages throughout the country in an Alaskan sketch. Mir Huckins will take a full blooded malamute dog, real beauty, with him for use in the act.
 This act will be booked over the Class A circuits. It is fitting that these two men, who worked on the first survey of the government rail- road in the interior, and who mush- ed the trails of this country before the railroad was thought of should introduce to the theatre going public on the outside an Alaskan act.
 The actors will feature Bob Crow ford's Alaskan song, My North land" Both of them are of the opin- ion that the song will be the great success of the act, as the tune is a catchy one and the words are easy to learn. The young Fairbanksan has gladly consented to let the ac- tors use his song.'

KANSAS CITY |S
 COMING NORTH
Carries Full Cargo of Freight for Engineering Commission at
 Anchorage-Sailed Yesterday.

SEATTLE, Nov. 10.-The Kansas City, the new steamer purchased by the Alaska Steamship company for the Southwestern Alaska trade, sail ed last night for Anchorage with a full cargo of railroad supplies for the Alaskan Engineering commission. The Kansas City will go the outside passage to Prince William Sound points.
 The Kansas City carries rails, ties, coal and lumber for the commission, as well as supplies sufficient to last the contractors of the commission during the closed season on Cook in- let It is believed the Kansas City will be the last steamer to deliver freight to Anchorage this year as freight offerings for that point have been nearly cleared up as the City of Puebla also carried heavy cargoes for Anchorage
 The steamer will call at Latouche and Cordova on her return voyage and will carry copper ore to the shelter, after which she will be dry docked and converted into an oil- burner to conform with the other passenger liners of the Alaska Steam ship company.

CITIZENS WANT THE HOSPITAL KEPT OPEN.

The announcement that the Valdez hospital would soon be closed owing to lack of support from the mining companies in this district, does not take kindly among the citizens of the town who realize the necessity of such an institution to care for the sick and injured and in cases of an emergency.
 A petition is being circulated today among the business men to secure the signatures of those who are will ing to assist in financing the hospi- tai over the winter months, while the expense of maintaining the hospital are heaviest The subscribers are guaranteed care at the hospital in cluding hospital, medical and surgi- cal attention for the nominal sum of $50 per month.
 It is believed that two or three hundred subscribers can be secured in Valdez and among the miners working in this district, which will enable Dr. E. C. Dalton to keep the Valdez Hospital open and prepared to care for those requiring such ser vices at any hour of the day or night, irrespective of their financial condi- tion.

While recruit pitchers are lobbing
them over out at the fair grounds

turn for Frank Navin's pay checks,

Fuller Is here To fire the opening
gun, but the other belligerents-
Witt. Young and Kavanaugh--will
not arrive until next Monday.
Around training camp, gossip
seems TO pick Witt as favorite on
the strength of the Californian's
showing at second last fall. and the
reports that he has picked up 10
pounds or so during the winter.
What jennings wants for second
Is a fast fielder who colaborates
with Speed Merchants Bush and
Burns in double killings. and man
whom he can bat second and who Is
a master of the art of sacrificing
and getting himself occasionally. II
looks as IL Witt, Young and Fuller
might all have a chance TO qualify
In the fielding position OF the key
stone duties. but Witt seems to be
the lad who can show DOME Bush
TO second and enhance the value OF
Third Batter Cobb's swatting Prov
ess.
Witt appeared at second last fall
in the final home games OF the sea-
son, and a glance at his record
makes Oscar look mighty good TO
the dopesters.
The first game OF the Navin field
windup saw Witt on first twice. one
OF which times he scored when Cobb
walked and Bradford hit. The next
game Bush hit, Witt hit. and the
team started a batting rally that
cleared the bases. The third game
was a five-inning AFFAIR In which Os-
car walked twice, Offering scoring
possibilities to Cobb's bludgeon.
Occasionally. he had bad day.
but the majority OF games saw him
coming through in grand style. In
another contest he walked twice and
hit once. Cobb singing and Craw-

toner Tuthill got him into splendid

wrist. caused by pitched ball in
an eastern game put him on the
bench for a month just when he had
started like a whirlwind. His added
weight and the possibility that he
has at last dumped his jinx into the
Pacific, makes il seem probable that
he is ready to take his proper place
in the big show at last.
Despite his previous lack OF STAN
ina, Witt is the sort of player who is
at his best under fire. Whenever
sent into the game in an emergency,
even after long tryst on the bench,
he has started at top speed and kept
the pace until accident or illness

superb, and his fielding is accurate.
