FIFTEEN FOOT BALL
PLAYERS ARE KILLED
List of Victims One Less Than
Last Year and Same as
Two Years Ago.
NONE ON COLLEGE TEAMS

Chicago, Dec. Foot ball claimed
fifteen lives during the 1916 season
which closed with Thanksgiving
games, according to figures compiled
by The Associated Press today. Last
year the total was sixteen and in 1914
there were fifteen deaths.
College officials Unidentified with the
sport declare that not single death
occurred in any game in which the
players we're known to be physically
as we'll as mentally trained for the
test. Not single life was lost, they
say, in game where a physicians
examination was demanded before the
game.
In most cases those who lost their
lives were members OF high school,
semi-professional and professional
elevens. Not one Of the victims was
a college player.
The list OF dead:
William A. Jones. Munhall. Pa, 20 years
old.
John A. Porter, Athens, o., IS years old.
Edwin Young, Pittsburgh. Pa, 10 years
old
Harry Wieland, Chicago, 0 years old
Hiram Cole. Fayette, Mo, 10 years old.
Fred Wilson. Minneapolis. 20 years old.
Ephraim Angel. I'll Centre. Cal. 30 years
A. woodrinx. Timber Lake. &. D., 81 years
old.
wiibsr Gettys, Ansley, Mob, 10 years old,

Cyril Pritchard. EIgin, ILL.,, 10 years old,
Elmer L. Carlquist, Chicago, IT years old
Wallace Rowland. Weirton, W. Va, Is
years old.
Bosss Campbell, Pittsburgh. Pa. 20 years
Francis B. Morality. Detroit. Mich, "a
years old.
In most every case the victim did
not suffer any length OF time, some
dying almost instantly and others a
few days after the accident. Two OF
the players suffered broken necks,
but majority died from internal in
juries.
Coaches assert that practically
every danger in the sport should be
eliminated by the rules committee
and no matter what rules are adopted
the game will be rough, and only
those IN the best Of physical condition
should be permitted to play. 4

SANTA CLAUS AND
HIS BROTHER HERE
Arrives in Same Old Red Suit
With White Fur Trimmings
to Distribute Toys.
WANTS ALL TO SHOP EARLY
By A. R. GROH.


Children. who do you think came to
Omaha Saturday morning? Santa
Claus! Yes, sirl The dear old fellow
is just as fat and jolly as ever and he
wears the same red suit with white
fur trimmings.
He was met at the Burlington sta
ton by large delegation from the
Brandeis stores with FIVE automo-
biles. The big crowd cheered him
as he appeared on the steps of the
Pullman car with his big bag of toys,
oh, the biggest bag you ever saw.
Santa Claus laughed so that he
shook all over. Then he held up his
hand and when everybody was silent
he said:
Friends, please, please do your
Christmas shopping early. Only re-
mains yet nineteen days till Christmas.
And, my, my, vot lot CT work We got
to dor
Everybody Promises.
Everybody cheered again and
promised to do their shopping early.
Then Santa shouldered his great big
pack and was escorted by the men,
wearing white hats, to the waiting au-
tomobiles. After tour OF the down
town streets, Santa entered the Bran
deis stores and went to his castle in
the basement where he began receiv-
ing a long line of boys and girls who
were waiting for him.
Did you see that jolly old. Santa
Claus at the Burgess-Nash store1 He
came Friday. Well, he's this Santa
Claus brother.
You see, children. / wondered why
there were different Santas around in
different stores. So / went right up
to this Santa and asked him about il.
"Ach, yes, dot ISIS my brudder over
by Burgess-Nash," he said. 81 hat
also other brudders. 1t takes so many
off us to distribute toys to al the dear
little childrens."
why didn't you bring the reindeer
and the sleigh this year" ! asked.
we'll, my friend, several reasons.
Won reason ISIS old Bitten, my best
reindeer, got sick eating too many
icicles. Another reason ISIS dot | half
to carry so much toys for all de goot
little girls and boys that cannot get
them all in the sleigh.
$50, ! got Won off my sons to bring
me in the automobile sleigh down to
Esquino City and there I took the
train on the North Pole Iceland &
Texas railroad. At Chicago change
cars last night. Ach, these trains are
very fine and not cold like ven /
come in the sleigh. My brudder who
is by Burgess-Nash stores came also
by train, Won day ahead Of me. Some
OF my other brudders will yet come to
other stores OF Omaha. We must take
care of all the good little childrens.
Yes, indeed"
So, You see, children, that explains
why ,there are several Santa Clauses
around town. They are brothers. |
never could see how just one Santa
Claus alone could deliver all the toys,
could you?
Its mighty good thing that there
are so many brothers in the Santa
Claus family, isn't it1

MILL TO BE ES I TABL|SHED
 THIS SOUND

In discussing the policy of the gov ernment toward the Alaskan forests. Mir. Ringland states that the Seattle papers had said that Alaskan timber was no good. and that the lumber for the government railway had been shipped in from the states This was not a fact. he stated, as the govern ment had used 1TO00,0O0 feet of Alas ka timber in its railway construction and had 73,O00,00O feet more blocked out for local consumption. He said that while Alaskan timber was not as large as that of Washington it made a good grade of lumber, He also stated that preparations were being made for a two million dollar pulp mill to be located on Prince William sound and said that Alaskan spruce made a superior quality of paper. He asked for the cooperation of our people in the work of the forestry bureau.

Mr. Hussey says that he ate some of the canned claims and found them to be the best. but com plains that he is unable to locate the product in the Seattle market. He wants to know the name of the best brand and who. if any, are the Seattle agents in order that he may procure them for home use.

ALUMNAE WILL AID GIRLS
 WORKING WAY IN SCHOOL.

SEATTLE, Sept 19 - To supply work for the girls who must support themselves while attending the Uni versity of Washington, a student aid committee has been organized by the Washington Alumnae Association. This organization Is making an appeal to the housewives Of Seattle to em- ploy university girls whenever pos sible.
 IL has been estimated that more than 80 per cent of all the students who attend the university are obliged to make either part or all of their ex- penses. The percentage of girls who work while going to school is not quite so high There are hundreds, how ever. here who find it necessary to do something to help defray college ex- penses.

CATTLE SC0URGE PREVALENT IN
 PHILIPPINES

MANILA, Sept. 19. - Rinderpest, cattle scouree common in the tropics has assumed the proportions of seri- ous epidemic in the Philippines, caus. ing the deaths of hundreds of work animals - carabao and cattle-week- ly. Governor General Harrison has called upon every department of the insular government to cooperate in checking the disease. which is diff ficult matter because there are prac- ticaIly no fences in the Philippine country. It has been decided to estab- fish a laboratory for the manufac- lure of anti-inderpest serum, increase the force of yeterinartes and build more immunization stations.
 The constabulary troops will be concentrated in one province at time and thus seek to control the epidemic. in 1887 the worst epidemic occurred, and it was estimated that go per cent of the animals 0n the islands died In 1901 the disease killed 8 per cent of the animals. This year the disease thus far has claimed only about six tenths of one per cent

MAY BUILD BOULEVARD
 AROUND EYAK LAKE

At a meeting of the executive com mittee of the Chamber of Commerce. held Saturday night. the body was favored by the presence of A. C. Ring. land, T. NJ. Hunt and w. J. Mcdonald. of the United States forest service. MT Ringland is forest inspector for the forestry department of the govern ment. While this is his official title. he is in reality an expert whose duties call for the propagation of plans to de yelop the resources of the national forests.
 MT. Ringland has spent the last three months in Alaska, in company with Mir Bennett a soils expert of the department, most of the time on the Renal Peninsula, where a great many tests of the soil have been made and many homesteaders assisted in advice regarding the proper develop ment of their lands and the best kind of crops to SOW.
 At the meeting Saturday night Mir. Ringland addressed the executive com mittee at length in relation to the ap- propriation which the last congress made of $1OOOO.OOO for the building of roads and trails in forest reserves. This money is to be made available at the rate of one million dollars per year and the sum of $46, 6,2SO has been set aside for the building of roads in the two national forests in Alaska, namely, the Tongass and the Gnu zach.
 Part of the money will be spent in the building of a road on the Kenai Peninsula, and the suggestion has been made that portion of 1t be used in building a road around Eyak lake.
The Cordova daily times., 1916-09-19

citizens will desire to erect summer cottages under the provision of the national forest lease law. Another point to consider is the fact that at the head of Eyak lake is found what is considered to be the best water power in this section.
 You will appreciate that the Cha Der is not in position to give the de tails of distance. grade. costs and the like. In general 1t may be said that the distance to the head of the lake will not exceed 10 miles. Messrs. Ringland. Hunt and Macdonald, of the forest service. attended our meeting and gave this project every encour- lgement It is earnestly urged there fore that you will pass upon this pro feet and direct the necessary surveys 1t an early date.
 As I understand it, the application should be presented by some officer of competent jurisdiction. so | am sending a copy of this application to Governor Strong, with the request that he give it his endorsement. X copy, too. will be sent Forest Super visor Weigle at Ketchikan for his In, formation.
 Mir. Ringland informs me that he expects to see you at an early date, so | suggest that you secure further details from him on the merit of this proposed Eyak lake project Very truly yours,
 EDWARD F. MEDLEY.
