CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION FOR ALASKA

 That of the vital needs of Alaska the consruc ton of the railroads trails and bridges throughout the territory permit the development of regions of rich in accessible except and order to promote the construction of these great arteries of favor financial aid by the federal government of all legitimate rail enterprises organized to build trunk lines in Alaska when ever companies shall with their capital make suban ta progress with their projects and that all railroads aided be governed and controlled in the fixing of freight and passenger tariff We the speedy completion of the governmental railway being constructed and favor liberal and prompt appropriations therefor"
 The people of the territory generally will heartily approve the preparedness and opposition to the present prn cpe of conservation applied to Alaska, in the following blanks adopted by the Republicans of the First divisions

 Liner Glasses.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-The present race in the American League is con ceded by all veteran baseball fans to be the closest staged in many years on major circuits. In fact the claim is made that there is nothing in big league history to equali and a search of the records of recent seasons bears out the contention. On August 1 sev- en of the eight clubs composing the junior association had a percentage of 300 or better. St. Louis held sev- enth place with a fifty-fifty standing, while the Athletics in last place were 293 points behind the Browns.
 Boston. in first place, was but three points ahead of Chicago, and the New York Yankees, which led the league for some weeks, were in third place, 33 points behind the leaders and four

points ahead of Cleveland, in fourth position. Between Boston fin first place and St. Louis in seventh there were just 70 points difference in per centage or ' 1-2 games. With some thing like ten weeks of play remaining any one of these seven clubs must be conceded a chance for the 1916 pen nant. and the situation is unique in the history of the big league pennant races.
 During the last five years the lead. ing club on the first of August, with it's lead in points over the second place holder, was as follows: 1911, Detroit, 25 points, 1912, Boston, 62 points; 1913, Philadelphia, 75 points 1914, Philadelphia, 72 points; 1915 Boston, 13 points. With the exception of 1911 the club leading on August 1 finally won the pennant, and partici pated in the worlds series. In 1911 Philadelphia wrested the lead from Detroit late in the season, and held first place to the end of the cam paign.
 For the purposes of comparison and the standing of the American League clubs on August each year from 1911 are appended
