SUNDAY BASE BALL
 GROWING IN POPULARITY

The demand for Sunday baseball and other kinds of sport seems to be growing in many sections of the coun- try. Measures legalizing Sunday sports are now pending not only in the legislature of the Empire state, but in those of New Jersey, Rhode Island, Nevada and Kansas. In ad- dition they have recently been decid- ed in several western states. In many places the bills have received more consideration than they have in the past. The only state that has taken any definite stand for curtail- ing any kind Of sports is California.
 The Exposition track in San. Fran cisco will be used by the amateurs for matinee racing every Sunday in May, June, July August, September and October.

ANOTHER HUNTER
 REPORTED MISSING

Game Warden A. Schneider reports a hunter lost on Admiralty Island the goth of last month, and up to date no traces of him can be found. As it was cold and rainy at the time of his disappearance and he was without food it is feared by the warden that he has perished.
 The hunter, Norwegian boy, was the companion of Dr. White, of Sitka, and his son-in-law on Whites boat cruising In Hawk inlet. On the morn, ing of March 30, the boy went ashore, supposedly to hunt grouse. He did not return that night and the next day search was instituted, but to nc

In a letter received last week from Nome, business iu the Northern camp is said to have been very good this winter, but the supply of various and sundry foods and luxuries is said to be running shy.
 The letter, in part says:
 There has been a lot going on up here this winter and the town has been as lively as usual. The saloons have done more business than last year and the barrel beer is all gone now, also cigarettes are about out, and milk eggs, potatoes will all be gone when the boats get here. In fact all of the groceries will be about used up by the opening of navigation" "

HOW TERRITORIAL REVENUE BE
 RAISED

The ways and means committees of the Senate and House have been giy- ing serious thought to the revenue law which may be offered as a joint committee bill to the Legislature for adoption. Some of the cardinal feat ures of the proposed bill have been practically decided upon. Unless sentiment changes, it may be fore casted that the bill will contain pro visions for four sources of revenue:
 CD A property tax.
 CD I license tax similar to that provided by the last legislature.
 t3) A per capita, or poll tax.
 (D Corporation tax.
 The percapita or poll tax, while ad- mittedly unpopular in some sections of the Territory, is believed by mem- bers of the committees to be just and reasonable, and, in many sections, popular and desirable. It is the idea of the members of the ways and means committee that the funds de- rived from tha source shall go to- ward the maintenance of the Pioneers Home at sitka and to support of in- digent and needy pioneers under some plan such as that provided in the Al drich bill, which proposes to give them a pension, while in need, of $12.5O a month, in case they prefer that to go- ing to the Home.
 Assessors to Be Appointed
 The bill will also provide for the appointment of assessors-one in each of the four legislative divisions. These will have the power to appoint the necessary number of deputies, and they and their deputies will list the property subject to taxation, place values upon it and make returns to the board of equalization, which, 1t is promised, shall consist of the Gov ernor, the Secretary of the Territory, and the Territorial Treasurer.
 It Is proposed that these sources of revenue shall be supplemented by a comprehensive license law, similar to that passed by the First Legislature, which was based upon the idea of the Federal occupation tax law.
 The corporation tax will, undoubt. e be retained, and possibly, the tax increased.
 The members of the ways and means committee believe that under some comprehensive plan as the fore going taxes need not be heavy in any particular place, in order to produce ample revenue for Territorial pur- poses.

This was followed so closely by
deafning claps of thunder that the
two seemed almost instantaneous.

dumbfounding suddenness there
burst forth, apparently from the
dome of heaven. innumerable
flames of zigzag lightning, that
rendered a light, for an instant,
which was unequaled by the bright
est day. But, oh God, what scene
il was to light up! pray my eyes
may never behold another such sight.
For there was my sister already
half way across the bridge with the
wild waters surging around her. Her
wet disheaveled hair was blowing
about her shoulders. She was hold
ing the bride reins far out on the
horses neck as if to give him more
speed. Suddenly she saw me and
dropping the reins stretched her
hands out toward me in helpless
appeal. At this instant huge log
shot down, struck the bridge near
the center and knocked il clear OF

She was plunged into the midst OF

appeared into the depths. Dark
ness again surrounded me. No one
will ever know what my feelings
were during that one brief moment.

THE BANSHEE
Leslie Sluder

II was in the late afternoon OF a
dull, dark fall day. The rain had
poured down increasingly from the
early morning. I was seated in the
library of the old family mansion
before q fire which burned sluggish
ly in the crate. As I had been con-
fined TO the house the entire day my
nerves were at high tension. The
air seemed to be laden with depres-
sion, and I felt as il something
dreadful was about 20 happen.
Desiring some form of diversion

which lay upon small table near at
hand and endeavored to fix my at
.tention upon il but the effort was
useless. My eyes shifted from one
object to another as il some ghostly
spirit was hidden in the room. !
tried to think my detection was due
TO the melancholy effect OF the
room which was painted dull lead
en- gray and contained furnishings
of black mahogany which reflected
the light that eked in through long
narrow gothic windows. The at
mosphere about the room became so
oppressive that | decided TO try an
outward view for relief. I arose
from my chair and walked to one
OF the front windows. Everywhere
the fields were wet and miry. The
public road which ran a few rods
below the mansion was a thick mass
OF mud and water. Further down
was a broad, swift river which had
risen several feet and in many
places was out of its banks. Logs,

YOUR OPPORTUNITY

Our thoughts will never be OF

write a poem, an essay or an ora
ton that exactly carried out your
idea and expressed il with all the
force and power and beauty that
the subject might command? No,

are called into play. Memory, con-
centration, appreciation, magma
tion, vision, your whole soul, con-
tribute their share To your work.
And so few have learned to use
these faculties. Only the few can
concentrate, appreciate; only the
few have visions and ideals. How
much we are missing. words cannot
begin to express it. And much of
this is from lack Of opportunity,
we have no incentive, there is no
call for us to put forth our greatest
efforts, our dormant powers have
never been awakened.
But we are optimistic, we believe
there is in every one possibilities
and power which neither they nor
anyone else ever dreamed Of: and

stumps and trees were being swept
