BRIGHT FUTURE
 FOR VALDEZ

VALDEZ, Aug. 13. -'Valdez will always be one of the best towns on the Alaska coast and S. Blum & Co., will have larger and better build ing here as soon as weather condi- tions allow for the building ce- ment structure on the old site" said S. Blum the head of S. Blum & Co., and the first Bank of Valdez "We would have built at once but have de- termined to erect one of the best buildings in the north and dare not take chance that the cement would set before frost comes. The new structure will be more costly than the frame building, but we are conf dent of the future of Valdez and will build accordingly.
 "The mining development about Valdez will continue year by year and will result in many paying mines be ing opened in addition to the mum ber Of producers now sending out gold bricks each month. The copper out look here is also better than it has been in years and copper mines about Valdez and along the coast are sure to attract Eastern capital and mon ey for development Is ashsured.
 At no time in the history of Val dez has the outlook for conservative constructive development of mines been as bright (Vaidez Prospector)

Joe Wood Pulls Bone
 There have been a good many clas- sic worries pulled off iu baseball, but MT. Marlle has for years held the bonehead championship. No longer. Mir. MerMe win pelase step forward and hand over his title as Bonehead- us sumprcmus to Mir. Joe Wood.
 It was the final play of a game at st. Louis recently. Here IS the scene. situation and scenario all in bunch:
 Browns at bat in their last half of the ninth, score a tie, runners on third and second. one out. Agnew at hat Agnew drove a deep to left center. There was scarcely a chance in million to head off the run. but Speaker figured the chance and play ed it accordingly. He deliberately caught the ball with his outstretched glove hand. piyoting in order to get all the punch possible into his throw and shot the ball like a bullet to- wards the plate.
 Meanwhile Wood had walked up to within. say 10 feet of the plate. The chances are the runner would have beaten Speakers throw, but at least there was the possibility of decision at the plate-and even close decis- ion. Wood, however. prevented any thing like that happening. He reach ed out and caught Speakers throw nulifying a really great play permit ting the run to score without ques- tion. and right there ending the ball game.
 or course Wood did succeed in has shown well on every occasion that second. glued to third-or he would have if the runner had not already hiked for the dug out.
