 Kolsac left about a week later, but when he reached the cutoff he saw where their sled track went on over the cutoff
 By way of the river it is 160 miles to where Lahey's body was found, fifteen miles above the lower end of the cutoff. Fifteen miles farther down was Peter Kokrein's cabin stocked with grub and six miles from where Lahey died was a trap line which was run at intervals, but the hard-presed men were ignorant of these sources of relief. They had uduiSu huOui ouV pOuiiuo OStNCOii them with one dog. It is probable that they played themselves out with this heavy load, or they might have reached safety.

 Two letters were found in the ca bin The first one written was sign ed by both Lahey and Wilson. It stated that they were out of grub and starving; that there were no birds, and that rabbits were scarce, and that they had eaten the dog. The letter also contained an order for grub on Evans at Koyukuk station. It was after writing this letter that Wilson started back up the river for help.

CARPENTERS STORIES
 OF THE NORTH

The business of the Alaska can neries is enormous. 1 went through one in Ketchikan that will put up se- ven and one-half million cans of sal mon this year, and, in addition will freeze hundreds of thousands of pounds to be sent to the east, says Frank C. Carpenter in the Christian Herald. The buildings of the can neries cover several acres and the fish are brought in by the boat loads and dumped out by the thousand. When they reach the wharves they are so fresh that they are still kicking and they fairly fly through the iron chink," machine which cleans each fish, cutting of it's head, tail and fins and taking out its insides within the time of a watch tick It used to be that all this work was done by hand and those hands were usually those of a Chinamen. When the machine was invented to take the place of a OulHdIndn It Was nlChHdmeQ the iron chink," and so it is known to this day. The inventor was a cook of Seattle named Smith, who made a fortune out of his invention. The machine will clean 30,00O fish in run of 10 hours, as much as was formerly done by 50 of the most expert Chinese Nevertheless, the machine is not much bigger around that four barrel and not more than eight feet in height. It consists of a number of knives so arranged by machinery ,hat as the fish fly in one knife cuts off the head and at the same time another cuts of the tail.

According to a recent letter from an oldtimer of the Interior, who is now prospecting in the Tolstoi dis trict in he Innoko country, Boob creek obtained its name in a pecu- liar way. Regarding this he says:
 Il put up little money to send a man down there to do some prospect ing. We were fortunate enough to find a good prospect and I am glad to say it has it's indications of good pay. It looked like folish venture in the beginning. so foolish, in fact. that we named it Boob creek At this writ ing it looks as though our venture was anything but a boob stunt.

MINING NEWS FROM
 FAIRBANKS DISTRICT
(Fairbanks News-Miner)


 At Cinema the barge Bedweiser is being loaded with antimony ore, which is to be sent to the outside. The steamer Reliance will have a capacity load on the trip down the river as far as Panama, at which point the ore will be transferred Another big shipment will come down from the upper Yukon river, so that when the packet Susie leaves Panama it will have a cargo of approximately 5000 tons of ore.
 While it cannot be definitely learn ed just how much antimony ore will be shipped outside during the coming season, it is probable, according to information obtained from mining men, that the output of the summer of 1916 will be in the vicinity of 5000 tons.
 From the Stewart river district on the upper Yukon river there will be a big production of antimony also, so that the total production of antimony in the north will be at least 5000 tons and possibly as high as 5000 tons.

and Thompson then, in simple words, ex-
plains its fnny history. But first he takes
his jar of glass, and in the trough the jar
is laid, and into it the fish will pass, all
anxious thus to be displayed. A wild fish,
if 'twere thus confined, would have three
spasms and fit, and thrash around till
it was blind; but Sunbeam basks, and
makes hit.
And while the lectures going on, it
keeps itself on dress parade, and seems to
say, $50 help me John, make all other
fishes fade!" The lecture over now, the
jar is placed back in the trough again,
and Sunbeam, cleaning like a star, swims
back to his accustomed den.

kind, and if their teacher takes some pains,

The superintendent, Thompson, stands,

and the name fits like the paper on the

Herman Schaefer the funniest man in
baseball, has come back. American

Of that. President Wilson, on the other
hand, evidently gets great deal of en-
joyment out Of Schaefer's antics. They
tell this story of Schaefer's advent into
the Federal League. Knowing he was
popular with New York fandom, it was
figured that he would be good attraction
with the Newark Club. He was called
into conference with President Gilmore.
After discussing the game in general, the
conference narrowed down to a question
of salary. Schaefer's demand was far in
excess Of the amount for which Gilmore
thought he could be signed.
@Your figures are entirely too high"
flashed Gilmore. II understand that you
are through as a player-that you are
merely comedian
@Sure,' replied Schaefer. @That is why

league You know, the public does not
take it seriously"
With some presidents that would not
have made a hit; but Mr.. Gilmore has
sense of humor. The answer gave him
good laugh, and incidentally landed
Schaefer contract at his own figure,
which Schaefer admits might have been
few dollars in excess of his worth.

last half of the ninth, Washington had
men on second and third, and two men
were out. Caldwell purposely walked the
next man, filling the bases, preferring to
take a chance on the following batter.
Manager Griffith spoiled the strategy by
sending Schaefer to hit in the pinch. A
base hit meant the ball game. In such
crisis most players would have forgotten
all about the humorous side of life.
Schaefer is one of the few exceptions.
Selecting his bat, he walked toward the
plate, then turned and faced the grand
stand. He addressed the crowd much in
this style:

The Biggest Laugh in Baseball

II had a dream last evening. | must
relate it to you, for it concerns to-day's
game regret to say that the score will
be"-a slight hesitation on his part made
the fans all the more curious-"7 to 3 in
favor of Washington. Cleveland will get
away to an early lead Griffith will send
Johnson to the rubber in the fourth,
Washington will tie it up in the sixth,
and the rest of the way it will be easy"
What Schaefer predicted is just what
happened in that game, even to the
slightest detail Cleveland fans were
amazed at the prophecy; some of them
still talk about it. To the Cleveland fans
present that day it was remarkable in
cident. However, it didn't strike me in
that light, for l had heard Schaefer make
such speech in every American League
city, and Cleveland was the only one that
he put it over, even to the result
Seven or eight years ago, when Schaefer
was member of the Detroit team, the
Tigers were playing game in Cleveland.
Cleveland got away to big lead, and
rain threatened: The Tigers resorted to
every possible stunt for stalling, but

rain started. About the first of the sixth.

not be bad idea to force every one to
play few innings in the rain, as sort of
object lesson that might tend to elm

Ushers, kindly open the exits.
The delay had done Caldwell no good.
The speech had drawn smile even from
him. l was umpiring the ball game, and
also waiting patiently for Herman to con-
clude his address of farewell. Turning to
me at the conclusion of the speech, he
said: "Let us resume the game Step
ping into the batter's box, he hit the first
ball pitched squarely on the nose to left
field for the cleanest kind of a single, both
runners scoring.
1t is easy to imagine the frame Of mind
that speech and that hit sent the crowd
away in. Even the Washington players
rushed from the bench to first base, where
Schaefer had assumed an I-told-you-so
pose, and carried him from the field.
One afternoon in Cleveland, just before
the start of the game, Schaefer took
the megaphone from the announcer,
walked to the home plate, and, with sew
eral shouts for attention, quoted the
audience. Then he cut loose:

How He Managed the Umpire

HOW he Managtu the umpire
WHEN Detroit went to the field in the
eighth inning, a peculiar sight greeted
my eyes. Schaefer had bargained with a
spectator for the loan of his rain-coat and
umbrella. He had donned the coat, car
ried the raised umbrella in the right hand,
while on the left he wore his fielding glove.
The crowd had the laugh of the year.
Incidentally, l decided it was my cue to
call the game.
While Schaefer may not be the player
he was FIVE or six years ago, still regard
him as most valuable asset to ball
club. He is a heady coacher. He is a
big favorite with the fans. The players
all like him. American League fans are
sure to welcome him back.
