PACIFIC COAST
 LEAGUE CHANGE
1 \ NSnciltad IT.. SSl


 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3.-At q meeting of the officials of the Pa cific Coast league held here this morning, Portland's berth in the league was awarded to Sacramento for next year The reason for the action is the expense entailed by such a long jump between towns when Portland is included in the league. Realizing that next year will be at least as hard year on baseball as the past season has been, the magnates are working to econo- mzie in every way possible.
 The Portland owners state that they will make an effort to pur- chase a franchise from some town in the Northwestern league and re main there for at least one season. It is said that negotiations are al ready under way for the transfer of franchise to Portland

 LONDON, Nov. 3-AGter months of inactivity and preparation, the British troops in southern Palestine today renewed their offensive against the Turks in an effort to clear the east of the enemy troops The at tacks today were directed against the Turkish lines defending the coast city of Gaza, and the enemy were driven out of the first line of defens i've trenches along front of more than 5000 yards
 The British are closely investing the city of Ga2a. and it's fall is eX- pected within a few days at the most The defenders are short in food, and their artillery is poorly supplied with ammunition. The Brit ish troops have been reorganized and filled up to their complete strength and general success of the cam paign in the far east is looked for
 This campaign was greatly set back several months ago on ac- count of the Reorganization of the Russian armies cooperating with the and the renewed offensive is thought to indicate that the Brit ish are now prepared to carry on the campaign single-handed.

It was known that valuable information was get ting to Germany. and no other meth cd was thought to be poss ble.

ST. MATTHEW'S
 GIVES TO FUND

The ladies of St. Matthew's Guild have unanimously voted to appropri- ate $50 from the funds received at their recent bazaar to the Fairbanks bed fund to establish bed in the American hospital in France. There are numbers of separate organiZa- tions working for the bed benefits, but no single one has made as large an appropriation as this so far
 The Guild ladies believed that be- cause some Fairbanksans are now at the front that they may be direct aid to them in helping to raise the Bed Fund.
 From the manner in which per sonal and collective contributions are coming in for the Bed Fund, it is thought by the ladies in charge that the fund will be easily supplied

MAH CONE FOR
 THREE MONTHS

Last August man well known around Chatanika, by the name of Bjerstrom. left that place with six dogs for a hunting trip over in the Beaver creek country and has not been heard of since. Two men who have been up on Poker creek and returned to Chatanika yesterday af- ternoon reported that they had seen three dogs in that district which they were sure belonged to the missing man. Because he was so widely known to be exceptionally fond of his dogs and would do al most anything to keep them from suffering or being hurt, it was given more thought, as the dogs were all in very poor condition. One dog. it Is said, was almost exhausted, as if he had been fighting The facts of the case, more than these, are not known, but friends of the missing man are beginning to worry about him, for. not having heard word of him since his departure and the facts in connection with the dogs, would appear to point to trouble of some kind.

DISREGARD ORDERS
KARSTENS IN
 NENANA 0. K.

Harry Karstens left Fairbanks Thursday morning to try for the second time to make a trip through to Nenana with a car. He arrived there yesterday at 3:30 P. M, wiring back that the road was very rough.
 About two weeks ago MT. Kar- stems started out to make the trip, taking with him three passengers and going by way of Happy; but he succeeded in getting puncture and broke the car down completely and eventually had to let the passen- gers come back to town and he later brought the car back on the train. After repairs were made he started out again, this time by way of Ester and Alder, and got through all right
 MT. Karstens will probably be able to arrange schedule for his trips as soon as he returns from Nenana. He says he will have a regular run from this city to the railroad town this winter if he has to dig out every niggerhead in the trail and haul snow to fill in with.
 The car will leave Nenana for Fairbanks some time this morning and a schedule will probably appear soon after his arrival.

LA..-.-Ltna Ir.s.l


 UNDATED, Nov. 3.-The summary of today's operations along the Tag Hamento river in northern Italy shows that General Cadorna's Ilali- an forces are standing on the Tag Lamcnto line and nave so far been able to hold intact the north ana south front along the river in spta of several desperate attempts made by the Teutonic invaders to force d crossing.
 It is now believed that the Italians will be able to hold their own against the forces which now face them across the Tagl.amento The chiet menace to Cadorna's position lies in a threatened flanking thrust from the Trentino front on the north. The Austro-Germans are massing enormous forces on this front, and unless they are held in check may succeed in falling on the Italians flank with disastrous results
