S250,OOO LOST.

About S250,00O was lost to the farmers of Arkansas last year be-
 cause a great part of the sweet po-
 tato crop was allowed to rot or be- come unfit for market This vast sum
 can be saved by storing the crop prop
 erly The sweet potato is worth too
 much to let it rot this year, says J. >
 Knox, horticulturist with the Exten-
 sion Division of the University of Ar kansas. Every farmer should make
 an effort to save his entire crop The following suggestions should help the farmer who desires to keep hls sweet potatoes. He should first construct
 shed on some well drained spot ana | fix it so that no water can get uhdet | it. The soil under the shed should Ve about one foot higher than the gel' eral level of the ground and II Il S made little lower in the center than around the edges it will be all 'ne better. Let the soil dry before 'Hs
 potatoes are placed in the bank 'ne" put on a layer of straw or lea''' about six inches deep. Now cO"'

 If the potatoes are dug in the morning they may be hauled anu p.sd a in cone shape on the bed prep" rsr for them. Cover with layer oi nay or straw during the night fe'''O,

go and run chante of losing by arbitration. There the situation stands.
 President Wilson in taking up this matter and by his advices to the railway heads, repudiated the principle of arbitration and in a way, upheld abors contention thereby encouraged strife and placed himself, labor and the Interstate Com merce Commission against the employers for an increase in wages of from 20 to 25 per cent.
 The employers in explaining their stand say that they cannot stand the increase unless they are given permission by the interstate commerce commission to increase their rates; and say that on a former occasion the commission positively refused to grant the relief prayed for, and left them to stand the loss caused by an increase in wages made without first obtaining the commits son's consent. Obviously, the public which stands between labor and capital is the goat and will undoubtedly be made to suffer but not to the extent that some believe, because the public is mighty strong factor and must be reckoned with.

THE PUBLIC IS THE GOAT.

The way it looks now after the developments of the last few days in the railway situation in the east; the public will be as usual, the goat. For the issue has been so crystalized as to have produced deadlock that can be broken only by one side backing down; which is not likely.
 Among the demands made by labor upon the employers, only in one instance has labor yield ed, and that is in the demand for time-and-a-half overtime. They stand firm on all other demands.
 According to telegraphic news, the railroads have repeatedly expressed thelr willingness to submit the whole matter to arbitration and abide by the result This proposition has been
 It is matter of record that heretofore when- ever dispute was left to arbitration, labor has always been the winner, more or less; but in this case labor seems to think that they have the railways over barrel, consequently will not let

KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, SEPTEMBER 1, 1911
THE NIGGER IN THE FENCE.

The present administration mouth pieces in Alaska maintain that we are not ready for state form of government; and that all we are entitled to is full territorial form. Cogtating over this important matter we believe to have discovered the "ngger" in the fence, as it were, which looks to us thus: Republicans as we'll as democrats be- lieve that we should be given full power to gov ern ourselves. The former demand that power but the latter demand only half of what is inn piled in full power" presumably for the follow ing good and substantial reason, which is: Were we given full power to govern ourselves, how many federal officials of the calber now i'll of flee would hold positions? The answer is: Not a doggone one of them. There is your nigger in the fence So long as we have territorial form of government; so long as the administration will send us carpetbaggers and disreputable GUS ses for officials; but the moment we have state form of government; the moment the people will choose their new officers If Alaska could count a democratic majority vote, you would hear them howl for state government. But since the con- trary exists, hence the opposition. And there you are Obviously there are too many repub- lican voters in Alaska.

PENN LEADING IN
BASKETBALL RACE


New Haven. Feb. Interest in the
intercollegiate Basketball league
championship race centered on the
University of Pennsylvania five last
week, which, by virtue of a victory
over Dartmouth, jumped into undis-
puted possession of first place, after
having been tied with Yale
The Quakers, with an unframed and
green team, have demonstrated already
that they possess well rounded
strength in every department of the
game and give every indication of
going through the, second half of their
schedule which they begin by meeting
Columbia in New York on Saturday
night, as trump hantly as they have
completed their first I'VE games
Because of mid-year examinations
there were no games besides the Penn
Dartmouth contest, but the comm g
week will more than make up for the
inactivity of the last fortnight. Dart
mouth and Yale will clash in two
gamesrthe first at New Haven tomor-
row afternoon and the second at Han
over on Saturday night.

HANK GOWDY OF
BRAVESLEADS IN
STOPPING STEALS

The Boston Braves had the best
throwing backstop in the National
League last season in the person OF
Hank Gowdy, the worlds series hero
of 1914, cutting down almost six out
of every ten men who attempted to
steam on him.
There is only one league in the
country that awards its backstops
throwing percentages CHATS the
Three Eyed League) though Ernest J.
Langan, the baseball statistician, has
doped the matter out for the National
League marksmen for the last three
seasons. Bill KiIlifer of the Pills was
the hardest man to steal on in 1913,
Bert Whaling Of the Braves and Cow
dy, as told before, in 1915.
One hundred and fifty-two attn
Ie,tes set out to steal on Hank last
season, according to Langan and SO
of them came to grief. Frank Snyder
of the Cardina1s, who John McGraW
tionaI League nipped mere men who
tried to pilfer than GoWdy, but he
also had more bases stolen on him.
Excluding "Morning Glories" Wag-
ner of the Pirates, Kocher Of the
Giants, TrageSser OF the Braves and
Roche of the Cardinals, there We're
five wind-pad lists who had the edge
on the base burglars last year, tie q
five Icing Gowdy who had a throw
ing percentage Of .5S3, Killifer of che
of the Cardinals, whose, record was
51s, Archer of the Cubs, whose rec
ord was $40, and Whaling CT the
Braves, who turned in a sos per
Torrance.
sGcwdy had . balance of 80 unsuc-
cessfu1 steals, in his favor, 5tStHiEcF
IL snyder s, Archer 8. and Whaling
L. B resuahan of the Cubs was almost
a. 500 thrower and so was McL4e.ln
of the Giants, their respective percent
ages being 1895 and .48o. The ablest
Brooklyn regger-was Mccarthy, who
worked. in 81 games. Meyers excadad
fer the Giants, GibsonL was the Pr
ates| star and iWngo was Cinctuna-1s
blue ribbon performer.
The general throwing average OF
the National League catehers in 191
was 456, there being 1924 bases ystol-
en- on them and 1,O01 men being turn
ed back. Snyder cut down the great

did a lot of work and who enjoyed
little success in heading off base run
ners were Bob Schang, Otto Miller,
who worked in 83 games, and Charley
Doom, thel, ashamed having a
throwing percentage of 1851.
The greatest number of stolen has
es recorded against a catcher was 112.
chalked up against George Gibson OF
the pirates. One hundred and six
larcenies were charged against shy
der of ST. Louis, but Nhe worked in
142 games and Gibson was in 1181
SO neither man allowed one steal to
the contest. AS a matter Of fact few
backstops did.

Maranville Started
To Learn Bricklaying
And Also Cigarnaking

The Brick1ayers' union and the
Cigar Makers union are suffering
from a loss which is baseba1Fs gain.
Be it known that Walter -Maranville,
the shortstop of the Boston Braves
was an apprentice in both trades when
he heard the diamond calling him and
answered its plea.
Ward Maranvt1fe, Walters dad,
was stern-visaged minion of the
law about the same time that How
ard Drew, the negro sprinter, hustled
portmanteaus about the SprinfeId
railroad depot. One day MaranvilIe
ST., reported for duty with downcast
face. Drew asked him what the
trouble was, and Meanwhile said:
cts all the matter, Howard. Wal
ter's gone, to the dogs. Here I tried
to have him learn bricklaying and
cirgarmaking, but he's gone to New
Bedford to be a ball player"
But in 1914 the whole MaranvilIe
family saw the whole worlds series
and cheered madIy for the boy who
had gone to the bow vows.
