 Tho letter follows:
 Following tho expressed wish of the Governor that now name be giv- en to the town of Anchorage, Matan- uska is suggested as being appropri- ate because of the geographical posi- tion of the town in relation to the coal fields.
 "This will doubtless be the ship ping point for Matanuska coal and is name well known throughout the United States, identifying this sec tion of Alaska.

TDEADWELL WINS AND
 BASEBALL SERIES EvENED

Trcadwell, July 26-Yesterday 's ball game between the Juneau and Treadwcll teams on the local grounds was a hummer. A fair sized crowd was in attendance and the weather was good although the sky was cloudy. The game was in doubt un. til the last Juneau man was out in the ninth inning, leaving the score
 3-2 in favor of the home team. The game was good from every stand point. It started out like pitcher s battle. but wound up with enough hit ting and base running to keep the crowd on its toes.
 The teams are now tied as to the number of games won by each so far in this season's series. Each team has won eight games and one game was called on account of darkness when the score was l to l. The tie will be played off at the end of the season if it is necessary for a decis- ion.-Empire.

cH1LcAr RIVER ON RAMPAGE

Superintendent J. c. Hayes, who re- turned today from Haines on the ,eorgia, says the hot weather has caused the Chilcat river and it's trib- utaries to overflow the whole coun- try.

 used it to cease everything except the fight against high water.
 Gravel is reported to be running strong in the Porcupine Mining com pany's Hume.
 The government road is under water in places and sereral piles were washed out of the Chilcat bridge but MT. Hayes says the bridge will be saved.
 There are twenty men and three teams working on the government road.-Empire.

LANE MAY TRY
 NORTHWEST PASSAGE

Seattle,-Should the ice conditions be favorable, an attempt will be made by the Polar Bear, which left Seattle March 25 for northern waters to pass through the Northwest Passage and on down to Boston, according to a letter received from Lorne Knight one of the members of the crew, by his father, J. I. Knight, of Seattle.
 The Polar Bear left Seattle on a whaling and walrus expedition, under the command of Captain L. Lane. He is regarded locally as an able seaman and competent man. Should he be successful in making the passage, h. will be the first to pass th' ough from the vest. Amundsen mace the triI through from the east in 1908.
 At Nome three of the crew of IF that left Seattle deserted and have not returned, according to young Knight. This leaves the Polar Bear ort-handed, but not sufficiently crippled to prevent the trip if ice conditionrs are fayorable.-Seattle Times.

NERVE OF AN ouTFIELDER.
\ Great Moral Baseball Play Away
 Back In 1869.


 "rhe greatest baseball play l ever saw." writes w. J. Hampton in the American magazine, occurred in the autumn of 1869, that year when the famous Red Stockings of Cincinnati played every leading club from Maine to California without losing game and tying once (17 to ID with the Haymakers of Troy, N. Y., a club which it had previous ly defeated.
 Il was d boy in those days at Portsmouth, O., and we had club which had put it all over everything in our neighborhood as the Red Stockings had put it all over the United States, and we were some proud of our record, just as the Reds were of theirs. Ours was good enough for the Reds to take notice, and they came up the river to play us after walloping everythings else in the country. We thought they would lick us, but as the game pro gressed we began to think different ly, and when at the ninth inning the score stood 37 to 36, as l remember, in our favor, Portsmouth's blood began to surge and every backbone there felt the tingling of strained nerves.
 "The Reds may have thought they would have fun with Portsmouth when they came, but they had changed their minds now. In the ninth they got three men on bases, but they had two men out and Portsmouth stock was going up fast. So was the excitement. Then George Wright took the stick and every Portsmouth heart stood still. Would he or wouldn't he? He did, and the ball scared hcavenward, as they did in those days, and curved down to the weeds in the far left field. We had never thought a ball could be knocked that distance, and the weeds had been left to grow. "Our left fielder was Lute Huddle- ston. fine player and fine fellow, and Lute headed for the ball, Wright in the meantime hitting the bags all around and bringing in three men. Huddleston went down in the weeds with the ball and everybody thought he had it all right. Portsmouth broke loose in a crazy bedlam as Lute came up out of the ruck with the ball in his hand; the Red Stockings stood stiff betwixt doubt and fear, and the umpire held up his hand to hear from the fielder, for he alone knew what the answer was.
 Portsmouth was screaming with joy and yelling it to their player who had defeated the unconquer- able Reds; the unconquerables were beginning to droop, and then Hud- dleston stood up straight and shook his head. He had not caught the ball. Nobody knew except himself whether he had or not, and it was up to him to lie. for victory or tell the truth for defeat. He had the strength of character under extraor- dinary- circumstances to be square. The next Red to the bat went out. and when Portsmouth came to the plate the Reds got together for all they were worth. now that they had learned how close q .call they had had, and the game closed, 40 to 37 in favor of the champions of the United States"

Stole the Evidence

In the raid on the "beer party"
which was being held upstairs
over the building formerly occu-
pied by the Burns saloon, the
police officers gathered in a keg
of beer which was taken to the
city lookup for safe keeping.
On Monday morning it was
learned that somebody had
entered the jail and had made
away with the evidence, for
the keg of beer could not be
found.
The keys to the jail are carried
by Chief of Police G. Chavin and
Patrolman Joe Arseneau and
these gentlemen are at a loss to
know just how anyone could
enter the Jail, going through
two sets of doors with different
locks, and steal the keg. They
have come to the conclusion that
an extra set of keys must be in
the possession of someone and
they are now considering chang
ing the locks on the doors.
The question now is "who
stole the evidence?

TETZNER'S MEAT
MARKET ROBBED
Entered Last New Years Eve
by Thieves
Small Amount of Change is
Taken From the Cash
Register in Shop.

On Thursday evening of last
week the meat market owned by
F. Tetzner & Son was broken in
to and the cash drawer rifed of
all change. Entrance to the
building was made by breaking a
small window in the rear of the
shop.
Only a small amount of change
was left in the cash register by
the proprietor and the amount
taken by the thieves did not eX-
ceed $3.50. But from the looks
of the register on the machine it
would appear that Mr.. Tetzner
had been doing land office busi-
ness for large amounts were
wrung up by the thieves while
they were engaged in taking out
the change.
The officers who were notified
of the case believe the work to
have been that of youngsters as
the window through which the
building was entered was not
large enough to permit a man to
get through.

Farmers, fresh eggs are selling in
the cities at 40 to SO cents dozen.
If any resident kicks, his grocer tells
him that the prices asked leave only
fair profit. He also tells the city
resident that ifhe will accept cold
storage eggs they will cost him only
35 cents dozen. 1t is admitted
that these eggs have been in storage
since last spring. So the city man,
with visions of stale eggs for break
fast, pays the 40 or so cents and
takes it out in cussing the farmer.
What part of this SO cents does the
farmer get? Ii he gets less than 35
cents it is his own fault. Any far
mer or any member of any farmers
family old enough to read and write
can build up a market for every egg
that can be spared from the farm and
can get higher prices for the hen
fruit than any country egg buyer will
pay. Eggs can and are being shipped
safely by parcel post every day. If
the farmer will write to the post
master of the nearest city the post
master will supply him with list of
prospective customers. The U. S.
Bureau of Agriculture or the Post
master General will supply him with
pamphlets telling all about how the
eggs should be packed. If the far
mer is willing to meet the city buyer
half way he can built up a cash busi-
meas that will mean constant in
come, Later the trade can be ex-
tended to butter, homemade cheese,
early vegetables and SO on down the
line. Get busy farmer, farmer s
wife, farmers sons and farmer S
daughters. There's money waiting to
be made if you will go after it.

The regular meeting of the
Common Council was held at
the Commercial Club rooms on
Tuesday evening. Several mai
ters which were expected TO
come up before the Council
brought out a large audience
who wanted to see the "hre
works." Several of the mem
bers of the council charged
the police department with be
ing lax in their efforts to dis
cover the illegal sale Of intoXl-
eating liquors in the city and
the police department was de-
Tended by Mayor Bryan who
stated that it was absolutely i'm
possible for one of the police
officers to discover illegal selling
of liquor without the help of
the citizens and this he stated
had not been given. The Mayor
urged the citizens to give the
police department all assistance
in this matter possible and he
promised that there would be
something doing if the evidence
was discovered.
Complaint was also made that
the drug stores were selling
altogether too much liquor and
motion was made to have their
permit discontinued. The pro
prietors of both drug stores
were before the council and
stated that all liquor sold by
them was sold with the under
standing that it was for medici-
nal purposes, and was signed
for by the purchaser. Both
claimed to use discretion in the
sale of liquor. After hearing
the state m ent of the drug store
proprietors the motion to cancel
their permits was withdrawn.

W. Mcleod looked after the
interests of the defendant.
After arguments which lasted
for nearly an hour in which a
