ADMIRAL OFFICERS DENY
IIBELING ANCHORAGE,

Last week the Anchorage Times
came out in 1. statement from a pas
senger on on@ of the Admiral Line
boats who said that the officers of
that popular liner had made dero-
gatory statements regarding the per-
manency of the now populous rail
road town. Upon the arrival of the
Watson at that port, Agent Watson
of the company, at the request of sew
eral citizens, interviewed Capt. Nc
Kay, who stated that the report was
erroneous. as the officers and crews
on the Admiral Line steamers had
adopted the policy of never compar-
ing one town with another and made
it a point never to get into discus
sion in regard to the respective mer-
its of the various towns their steamer
visited; in fact Capt Mckay said if
the officers ever talked about an AL
askan city was to boost. The Cap
tain stated that if such a statement
came from anybody it would be
found to be ar irresponsible party
with little regard Cor the truth.
So far as the Prospector has been
able to learn from interviews with
passengers on Alaskan steamers, the
officers and crews have been rather
the reverse than derogatory in speak
ing of Alaskans and Alaskan towns.
With unfailing courtesy they have
many times corrected exaggerated
impressions in regard to the terri
tory and have endeavored at all times
to- confine themselves to facts with
out prejudice, and with a good word
for all. Every once in while some
Over-zealouS citizen of an Alaskan
town fires a broadside at the steam
ship men over alleged unfair remarks
concerning some locality, but in ev-
cry instance it has been found that
the charges against the officials were
untrue. and that the remarks attri-
buted to the steamship boys had en-
anated from some jealous townsite
booster aboard and that in every in
stance the steamship men had given
accurate and reliable information on
the subject.

Alaska Natives Like Taxis.

High, white-topped shoes and silk
and satin party gowns, worn by native
Alaskans, are cited by ]. L. McPher-
son of the Seattle chamber of COM
merce as proof Of the prosperity be-

territory.
Mr.. Mcpherson, who has returned
from six weeks trip to Alaska, says
that the present fad of the Ketchikan
natives is taxi riding at cost of So
an hour, according to, the Seattle Post
Intelligencer. The seven 'taxicabs re-
Gently installed at Ketchikan are doing
land Office business, he says. To
bid good-by to a native departing on
one of the boats, an entire family OF
native friends rode down to the dock,
alighted and shook hands with him,
wishing him a good voyage, re-entered
their motor car and the head of the
family airily waved to the chauffeur,
Home, James"

THANKSGIVING.

Have you cut the wheat in the blowing
fields,
The barley, the oats, and the rye.
The golden corn and the pearly rice?
For the winter days are nigh"
I'VE have reaped them all from shore to
shore,
And the grain is safe on the threshing
floor"
Have you gathered the berries from the
vine,
And the fruit from the orchard trees?
The dew and the scent from the roses and
thyme.
In the hives OF the honeybees?"
THE peach and the plum and the apple
are ours.
And the honeycomb from the scented
flowers"
..rrhe wealth of the snowy cotton field
And the gift or the sugar cane,
The savory and the nourishing root
There has nothing been given in vain. :
"We have gathered the harvest from
| shore to shore,
And the measure is full and trimming
DER"
Then lift up rthe head with a song!
And lift up the hand with q gift!
To the ancient Giver OF all
The spirit in gratitude lift!
| For the iov and promise of spring.
For the hay and the clover sweet.
The barley the rye. and the oats.
The rice and the corn and the wheat.
| The cotton and sugar and fruit,
| The flowers and the fine honsycomb.
| The country, so fair and so free.
| The blessings and glory of home.

FAv0RITE SPORTS OF TODAY
Evolved From Daily Work Of
Our Forefathers.

Play is ancestral work. The things
our forefathers, near or remote, did
to live, we do for fun, muses. an ex-
change. Away back in the dim dis
lance, they lived by hunting and by
lodging the creatures which were
hunting them. In those days, it con-
siderably strengthened ones grip on
life to be able to throw a stone with
accuracy, to hit quickly and strongly
with a club, to run from tree to tree
SO swiftly and with such nice judg-
ment of distance as to foil old Saber-
Tooth, the original apostle of fright
fulness.
The men who could do these things
well left descendants. Generations,
centuries, aeons passed, and these
descendants, struggling to repeat the
daily work of their forbears, evolved
such games as cricket, one old cat
and FOUNDERS. Out of this last, by
happy chance and happier genius, was
developed baseball, to exercise our
lungs, improve our eyes and increase
our vocabularies.
Far different is the origin Of foot
ball. The keynote of that is the
massed rush-like the one which won
the battle of Marathon. Sometimes
the massing is extra close, correspond
ing to the charge of the Theban col
umn at Leuctra, and with pretty near
~ as high a proportion of casualties
until the rule makers abolished the fly
