Alpha Is going to have some base
hall this year Last year we had about
the best club in Iron county having
trimmed to fare YOU well both Crys-
ial Falls and the west side teams. We
think that we can do II again and In
order 10 be sure that we can the fans
have taken steps to organize a base
ball association. A meeting Is called
for at the town hall tonight where the
matter will be thoroughly talked over
and plans laid for getting a smart
team In the field the coming summer
Last summer We were aided by the
presence Of a lot OF the Winston Bros
men who were good players and fine
ball fans. This year we will be minus
that aid but we will have our mines
working briskly and we expect that
young men who are ball players will be
attracted here for that reason.
We note that Crystal Falls expects
10 get team II Iron Mountain, Nor
way and Iron River have teams" Why
not include Alpha in that list2 Alpha
has better base ball loving lot OF peo-
pie and will support team better than
some of the places mentioned. judging

Klondikc. and Atlim districts must pass. and through which the great shipments of copper ani gold from the north must go OH their journey to the SIn"ltcrs to tho south. Located, as it i", near the headquarters of the Yukon River, it is the supply point for the countless travellers who go down that great stream year after year. in the spring. and all of whom return the same way in the fall.
 Protected. as it is, from the north winds. by one of the most maguifi. cent mountain ranges in all America, and warmed by the Japan Current on the south, Skagway has won. icrful climate the year round. and Is therefore sought as the place of residence by many of those whose business interests are elsewhere.
 Skagway has appealed peculiarly to men and women of leadership and education. There arc but few indiv. iduals in the town not interested in something beyond their everyday tasks. lt is q city made up of peo. pie with high ideals, purposes, and achievements, and more and more it is becoming place attractive to those who have large plans for the development of the North.
 During the summer season, every day brings one to four ships from the South. thereby giving Skagway almost daily mail service from the outside. From fifty to five hundred tourists q day are in Skagway dur. ing the summer months, and the people living here are thus kept in constant touch with all the outside world

consisted in cutting down Barker

surfacing this road with six-inch
coat OF Stag for a distance Of one and
one-half miles. We also resurfaced
five miles OF road with a heavy coat
OF gravel. principally from our own
gravel pit. We put two carloads OF
stone on the road between Delaware
City and Port Penn. We cut down
and graded also a hill on Cedar Lane
