BRINGS NEWS OF BIG
STRIKE AT iDiTAROD.

D 0lNC C S - iDi ShoO
 SEWARD, Feb. 9.-That the strike on Moore ereek, in the ldtaroG district, promises to be one of the greatest finds for years, is evident from the information brought to Seward by Edward A, Smith, the brother of the discoverer, who ar rived ill Seward direct from Idita- lcI last evening on the team of Captain Norton. Joe Smith, the discoverer of the pay and brother of Stewards visitor, is an extensive merchant in Iditarod but Edward A. is a Fairbanks man who has interests in the Tanana camp.
 After drilling on Moore creek it has been found that the pay stretch es from discovery for mile down the creek and the paystreak has already been proven to be at least 225 feet wide, with gravel worth from a $1.25 to $1.75 to the foot. MT. Smith believes the pay will be 450 feet in width and if this is so the creek is certain to be one of the greatest in Alaska. The stream has been drilled all over so that the extent of the pay cannot be doubted MT. Smith owns dis covery and found the pay right there, and a fact which is of local interest is that one above discovery is owned by Bennett James whom we might boast of as a Seward man.

Storm Hits Lower
 anana Country

Travellers from the lower river country arriving in Fairbanks dur ing the past week tell of the big storm which hit the lower Panama river on the l7th and 18th of this month. All of the lower Panama country, particularly that part which lies almost at the conjunction of the Panama and Yukon rivers, is subject to severe wind storms in the winter time, but the reports received here indicate that the storms were worse this time than ever known before.
 The wind is stated to have at tained velocity of 50 miles an hour. It was impossible for man or beast to face the blast on the lower river lakes, for the reason that it is impossible to make head way over the glare ice when wind storm is on.
 Several mushers were also badly frozen during the storm, according to the word received here. No ia talities are reported although some of the men were badly frosthitten. The weather, however, was not eX tremely cold.
 One strange thing about the s.orm was that 1t was accompanied by considerable electricity, which put the telegraph wires out of commis- sion for a time.

 back after tho 1909 season, both Wagner and Fred Clarke wanteI tO retire from baseball says Ma ,y Each thought he had been in the game long enough and each knew ne was getting old Both We're satisfied financlaAy, Clarka with his big ranch in Kansas, and Wagner with his place in Carnegie Ia The Pirates had just won the worlds championship, and the two veterans and side partners of long standing would quit the game on the crest of the baseball wave.
 Clarke at that time saw ahead tae aging )l his machine which nal just won for him and the fighl to build another He did not think he desired to devote that much more time to the game. Clarke did not honestly believe that the ball club which won the worlds champion ship Ill 1909 could repeat He was right He went to Barney Dreyfuss.
 "Bo,s,' he said, "Honus and i ate going to quit
 You can't leave me now" an swered Dreyfuss. Stay one year more anyway want you both wsth the club next season when we will be known as the worlds champions"
 G.aIhe and Wagner finally con stnted to stick And they have kept gying ever since. Clarke had to quit the regular line up, and this worried him. He is not the type of leader who likes to nanags from the bench
 T cant get the best results tIvm the bench, Matty," he told me one day last season.
 So Clarke decided he had had enough of baseball after this last season and resigned. No manager has been appointed at this writing Honus thought of quitting the game with Clarke, am told
 Honus legs have been bad for somo time. The damp ground at the old Exposition park on the liver bank got into Wagners bones several years ago. and I have known him to play when every step he made was like the jumping toothache in his legs. He is one of the gamest in baseball
 Wagner has been switched around from one job to another in the past few years, trying to ease the strain, and he has been out of the game a good deal. This bothers him. He likes to be in there all the time, and he does not realize he does not carry the same powers of resistance he did ten years ago. He has the same heart.
 Wagners batting eye has not dimmed much. He can still sting the ball with the best in the coun- try, but his legs have failed him. When Dreyfuss heard that Honus was thinking of quitting with Clarke he rushed to the big short stop and pleaded with him. Wag- ner agreed to stick.
 doubt if he would ever have quit anyway, as long as he could get in there, for we all thlnk We will leave baseball flat some day, but every one of us keeps coming back for more until they finally throw us into the discard.
 Wagner is worrying whether he can become d good manager. l be- leve he would make a grand leader, for I know h.s qualities pretty well, and he has those that a manager needs.
 He is game to the core. That is essential. He has a strong heart

 Honus has the knack of taking a young player and getting baseball out of him. if there Is any latent talent lurking. He has turned out man after man for Clarke in this way
 Of course, the old fellow will be up against tough proposition ia Pittsburg for he will practically have to build club himself

Poe. killed in action last September in Northern France, while fighting with the allies, has appointed as it's memorial commit tee it's five surviving members of the class who played with Poe on the varsity football team.
 These men are Arthur (Beef, Wheeler, guard Thomas (Doggie) Trenchard, captain and end; Knox Taylor guard; and W, Dougie> Ward and Franklin B. Morse, half backs Of the class representa- tiyes On rriHeeton's varsity. Harry 0. Brown and Augustus F. Holly, end and tackle respectively, also are dead. With the exception of Poe, who left college at the end of his Sophomore year, all played regu Iarly on the champion team of 1893 No class in the history of she university ever contributed so many first string regulars to a varsity team, seven of the eleven being members of the '95 class.
 The announcement made recent ly ty Frank Chance, the new man agcr of the Los Angeles club, Of the Pacific Coast league. that he will don uniform and play at first base. is not taken seriously about the circuit. Wolyerton. the San Francisco manager, who is an adept at pinch hitting, occasionally in jected himself into the game at critical juncture, but he made no pretense of being @ regular What playing Chance may do is expected to be along these lines. It is con sidered good advertising and gives the crowd a chance to size up the new man at the helm. There are many who contend that the mana ger who attempts to play regular ly loses in effectiveness as a mana ger, owing to his inability to con- centrate on his own play and, at the same time, watch all the de tails in connection with the per formances of his teammates.

TELLS RIGHT WAY TO COUGH
Physicians Directions Would Certain
ly Prevent One Becoming a Null
sance to Companions.

The following directions as to how
to cough are given by physician In
the Journal of the Outdoor Life:
Fold your handkerchief so that 1t Is
about five inches square. Place 1t fiat
in the right hand, II you are right
banded. and with this hand hold it
tightly over the mouth. Press the
hand on the mouth, as to hold it
loosely over the mouth will not ac-
complish the purpose. Now instead Of
coughing and trying to muff1e the
sound in your throat or mouth muffle
1t with your handkerchief. Practice
1t until person ten feet away can
not hear you.
THE sound made in coughing Is due
partly to air passing over the vocal
cords, partly to air going through the
bronchial tubes and trachea, and part
ly to the resonance produced In the
chambers above the trachea. This
sound can be almost wholly avoided
and the irritation to the lungs and air
passages prevented by keeping the air
passages open and letting your hand
kerchief do the muffling. Now instead
of expelling 100 cubic inches Of air at
each expiration, you will expel
smaller amount, with more comfort to
yourself and to those around you and
with much less harm to your lungs"
