The local league baseball season
closed Labor day with two games that
were well attended and interesting to
watch. The Athletics defeat and the
F. or A. Juniors victory made the lat
ter winner of the pennant by mar
gin of two games. The champions have
played consistently throughout the sum
mer and have had less changes in their
lineup than any other team.
The race for honors has been close
the whole season and the spectators
have witnessed several fine games.
The feature of the wind-up contests
were Latham S first base playing, a

Particular interest conferred in the
first game Saturday between the Ath-
letics and the F. of A. Juniors, as a
victory for the latter would clinch the
pcnnant, but they were defeated to 4
in one Of the best and cleancst games
of the season. The second game was an
easy win for the Braves over the
Squads, II to 3. Absence of several
players made many substitutions neces-
nary. All four pitchers did good work
and catch by Mann, several pick-ups
by Morse at first base and Tacy's hit

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
in the blood, which affects the
muscles and joints, producing in
fammation, stiffness and pain. This
acid gets into the blood through
some defect in the digestive process.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment of rheumatism. 1t acts
directly, with purifying effect, on
the blood, and improves the diecs-
ton. Don t suffer. Get Hood IS today.

AS an indication that the war has no bearing on high prices, in line with the argument of many spectators, 1t is a curious coincidence that the mo- ment peace talk prevailed among the warning nations prices on many com modities dropped with a thud. An other example of what causes high prices and why an embargo should be placed upon food staples is illus trated by yesterdays dispatches. An order of 5,000,000 pounds of lard for the Belgians shot. the price up six cents per pound. An order for huge consignment of sole leather raised the price of shoes soc a pair.

THURSDAY. DECEMBER If, 1916


The prevailing high price of news print paper, caused, the manufactu. rers' claim, by the shortage has work ed tremendous hardships on the pub- fishers of weeklies and small dallius In comparison with the volume of business these hardships have proved a more severe blow to the small pub fisher than to the owners of the big dailies in the larger cities.
 The larger papers are all supplied on contracts-that is, they agree with the manufacturer to use given amount in given time at G. fixed price. This contract binds ths-pltb- fisher to use the fixed amount Sf pa- per and likewise binds the manufac- turer to keep a supply on hand large enough to meet the daily wants.
 This is not the case with the pub fisher who buys in small lots. Many have found themselves without pa- per to print an extra edition on. The
 
 the small publisher as he sees fit, in- creasing it without notice and warn ing him that the shortage makes it impossible to supply the paper at the same rates. Thus the country editor finds himself entirely in the hands Of the paper manufacturers.
 One year ago the price of print pa per was $500 per hundredweight. Today it is $S.10 per hundred and the publisher is lucky to get his sup ply at this price. The latter price is war ceases.
 With the cost of news print doub- led and corresponding increases in the cost of other materials, the small publisher has found has revenue getting smaller and smaller. A great many papers in the States have solved this question by increasing their sub- scription and advertising rates.
 A great many weeklies have in creased their subscription rates 50 per cent, but even at this rate the publishers are not convinced that by increasing the rate 50 per cent they can pay 15O per cent more for their paper supply. The small daily is hit even harder. Very few dailies find themselves in shape to increase their rates in proportion to the increase in the price of paper. And today the small dailies are wrestling with the question, at their wits end to know which way to turn.
 All deadReads have been elilninat- ed; many of the exchanges cut off; subscribers who are not good ray are dropped and, by practicing the most rigid economy the amount of paper

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HOLDS MONTHLY MEETING

A we'll attended meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held last evening in the City Hall. The pam phlets and leaflets issued for the Chamber attracted much well-merited attention, and reflects great credit upon the organization. The Chan,- Der is indebted to a number of it's members for the preparation of the articles appearing in the pamphlet, which tho inexpensive will adequately serve the purpose for which it was designed.
 To Rev. Finn is due the credit for lreparing the leaflet, which so attrac lively describes the Alaska Auto trail, Alaska's only great highway. In a convincing address, MT. Zinl, fully explained his plans for the dis tribution of these leaflets, where they would reach the interested public.
 The Chamber went on record as op- posing the passage of the Alexander Fish Bill, which would wrest fror, the Territory the control of it's fish cries.
 The Chamber also signified its tention of continuing to work unti. : ingly for the winter mail service be- tween Valdez and Willow Creek, a servlce to which we are rightfully en titled.
 We should work unceasingly for the best interests of Valdez, fully as much in the dull season as in the busy enc. But by all means be optimists; it pays.
 In that respect we might be liken- ed unto the big bull frog and the little green frog that accidentally fell into a jar of cream. The big bull frog, after spending about half an hour in what he deemed useless kicking to extricate himself from the jar, final ly said to the little green frog, "It is impossible for us to get out of this jar. I'll give up." He did give up and slowly sank to the bottom. He was a pessimist. The little green frog says, "I will not give up; may succeed" He kept on kicking until he churned the cream into butter and hopped out of the jar. He was all optimist. Now, to which school of frogs do you belong?
