the comfort of the Teddy T.'s guests IS be- ing looked after most diligently. A. T. WilIett, the chief engineer and owner oi the boat, was greatly pleased a few days ago with the timely arrival from Fairbanks of Captain John c. Morgan, the former master of the steamer White Seal and other big inland vessels, who will have charge oi the navigating on the voyage which IS ad vertised to start from this city at 10 o'clock next Friday morning, August 20. Cap tain Morgan enjoys the reputation of being one of the best and most careful steamboat men of Alaska. and his long years of ex- perience on the rivers of Alaska make his services an invaluable asset.
 Considerable freight space has already been applied for, and a good-szed cargo will be loaded by sailing time.

To Raise Goats in the kobuk

Angora goats for Alaska is the latest stunt for the development of the resources of the Northern territory It is the plan of Judge Martin F. Moran, representative in the ter ritorial legislature from the Kobuk district. Judge Moran is quoted in the Seattle Post Intelligencer of July 19 as outlining his plans for importing herd of Angora goats in Alaska, to feed on reindeer moss, which grows so plentifully on the tundra of Vest ern and Northern Alaska. The Northern legislator sees future in the Angora in dustry with fat profits for the men with

Food Shortage in koyukuk Relieved

That the people of Bettles were badly Ill need of supplies is stated by several mem bers of the crew of the steamer Tana, which recently returned from the northern camp to Fairbanks When the Tana got within twenty miles of Rettles the people there were so anxious Tor fresh supplies that a small boat was sent ahead with few crates of goods, including eggs, bacon, cream and other eatables When the boat arrived all of the advance shipment had been eaten up and the people were waiting for more grub Practically everything n the eatable line had been used up and the first boat was given most royal welcome. A soon as the Tana started to unload its supplies the merchants could not hand out the gocds fast enough to suit the customers, and many ''big feeds were in order that night.

MOSQUITOES NEAR NORTH POLE

The presence of mosquitoes in myriads within the bare, uninhabted Arctic circle is surely in some degree mystery. The mosquito is a blood d-sucker, but in the un- visited plains he is for the most part and of strict necessity vegetarian, few birds excepted land the birds are furnished with impervious feathers, there is no local life whatever. The Lapp in summer drives his reindeer to the sea, and no native crosses the field if he can help it.

Hot Springs Revert to Government

By a decision received recently at the land office at Fairbanks, the commissioner at Washington denies the application for patent made by George W, Wilson, who homesteaded 160 acres at the Cinema Hot Springs in 1908 When the original hearing was held Receiver Erwin held against the applicant, while Register Mcbride held with him. and this divided decision went up to Washington. It has been hard-fought case. The government retains the land in a reserve created by the President March 2S, 1911, embracing all hot springs or other springs having curative medicinal proper .ies. The decision states that the land was taken not with a view of developing an agricultural home but with speculative in tent of developing and exploiting the nat, ural resources of the land in a commercial way.

majority OF the tWenty-One are sure
of being held for three years-wel,
figure it out for yourself, if some of
them decide to lay down.
One little incident comes to mind
In last Saturdays battle with Phila-
delphia a Philly slugger lined clean
single over second and right on the
bound into Frank Schulte's hands.
Schultz made clean stop, but in
stead of shooting the ball to second
to play safe he lobbed it in the air
to the center sack.
The batsman outguessed Schultz
and kept right on going after he pass
ed first. The ball took so much long
er to get to Mulligan, being thrown
in the air instead of on line, that
the runner beat the throw easily.
Just looked like case of listlessness
on Schulte's part.
. When such men as Mccarthy, Null
igan, Schultz and Fleuer play the
ball they have been playing some of
the old times look sick. 1t still looks
to us like lead pipe cinch that if
the Cubs had played the sort of ball
that is in them they would be fight
ing with the Phillies for first place in
stead of with the Giants for last
place.
Rowland is going along fairly well
right now with his Sox crew, but it
is too blamed late So we will have
to pass up 1915 and look to 1916 for
better results. With the crew that
now play on the South Side and the
prospects of new players that are
THERE, the Sox should stand up in
the running next season. Time'u tell,
however. Be patient.
l. Philadelphia has only got to win
three more games then the stuff is
all off. Brooklyn and Boston will have
to be satisfied with places that come
ate rthe lead. In other words, one
of those two teams will be first after

to change the prospects.
The argument that is now running
the plank is just when the worlds
series games will start. Probable
date will be Oct. s or 9. 1t seems
that from the Philadelphia standpoint
the series is being built around Alex
ander, the man who has won 80
games this season and incidentally
copied cople of thousand on the
side because of this remarkable feat.
By a couple of thousand we mean dol
lars, not games. Give him a chance.
He's got several years to pitch yet
The dope is that if the games start
on Oct. 9, which is Saturday, Moran
can use Alexander for the initial
clash. Then the big fellow can rest
over Sunday and come back on Mon
day. He only needs days rest and
then he will lhave to lay low while
some other pitcher battles through
Saturday. And just who will Moran
use on Saturday?

We anticipated look at least, at some
of our dear old Michigan friends, You
can best imagine our disappointment
upon learning that you had passed us

But to get down TO the cause OF this
epistle, allow me, Ga recent Califor-
miami, to compliment you upon your
editorial of week ago. You certainly
kept your eyes open and gathered a
great deal OF information. recall my
first few weeks in this sunny state and
the impression had of IL at that time
was similar to those expressed in your
recent article. But after five months
in the Bear State" have come to the
conclusion that there is more to It
than mere boosting l find there are
many, many things to boost.
You spoke OF the many unemployed.

luded to above. would enable you to
discern the class OF people who are
unemployed. They don't wish to

and il they do, II is with the thought
in mind that they wish to secure the
biggest salary they can for the least
possible effort Our town OF Cotton
provides a good meal and lodging for
any man who will work for It. But
strange to relate they very seldom
have any applicants; it's easier to beg.
The writer as you no doubt know
has never been handed any very large
gold bricks but has always worked for
what he has received Allow me TO
quote personal experience. On my
way from Colorado to California had
the pleasure of meeting big packing

"The Carnegie Steel company is pre-
pairing TO start it's plant at Columbus,
Ohio. which has two 300-ton blast fur
naces and 500-ton Bessemer steel
department. This plant has been idle
for a number of year, and is only oper-
ated when the pressure for steel be-
comes very strong.
"The pig iron market is very strong
and prices are not only maintained
but are being advanced in some dis
tricts. Several furnace interests have
withdrawn completely from the market
for delivery this year, and some have
stated their inability TO consider orders
on foundry iron until next July. There
appears TO be a growing scarcity OF
basic pig iron.
Large contracts have been placed
for fabricated material, including con-
siderable bridge work for various rail-
road companies. Some manufacturing
consumers OF finished steel have fore
armed in putting through specified
tons for quantities formerly OF con-
: tract size. Thus they do not exact
protection. which some sellers are
loath to give for next year, and yet
fear no embarrassment through the re-
ceipt of material in excess of needs

The election OF last Tuesday shows
that the country is swinging back to a
republican basis. In Massachusetts,
the republican candidate for governor
won out and in New York republic
can congressman was chosen from a
democratic district. In Maryland and
Kentucky. two naturally democratic
states, the democrats were given a
close shave while in New Jersey, the
home OF President Wilson, large re-
publican gains are shown.
Another thing shown is that the
progressives are almost all back in the
republican fold. Taken asa whole. the
republican chiefs look upon the cleo
ton as pointing to a republican land
slide in 1916.
