|NlNAIN caused the defeat of the
lHIE4RI home team. The boys
u4@gy all swung manfully at the
little round pellet, but it was No
use. Carlson's offerings had them
completely deceived from start to
finish and two safe blows was their
total accumulation for the after
noon. On the other hand; the
visitors found things to their lik-
ing and piled up twelve safe ones
just when they did the most good.
AS further aid to the one-sided
score, the M. S. P.s contributed
several glaring errors, paving the
way for at least four runs. How
ever, errors left out, it was a case
of lose anyway, because the afore-
said Carlson was so much on the
ball that the boys just walked up
to the plate and then walked back
again.
Only in the fourth and eighth
inning did our team succeed in
getting in the base-hit column.
In the fourth Lee raped a fly to
center for two bases and in the
eighth East. landed on one for
single through short. Two of our
scores were the result of Fan. g
propensity for getting on through
Carlson's liberality in the matter
of free transportation-no less than
six bases on balls falling to the
locals; and Fan. drew three of
them. The other score came when
Lee hit safe followed by pass and
a careless return of the ball from
catcher to pitcher.
We were favored with a pleasant
afternoon which pleased all hands,
especially the rooters, who were
vociferous in the greeting of such
old friends as Beyers and Berger.
After the sixth the noise subsidized
greatly as it became apparent the
boys were due to lose.
There is some satisfaction to be
derived, however, from the fact
that this game, despite its loss,
confirmed the opinion that the
team has been strengthened by the
addition of new players. The
work of Wells as pitcher gives one
an impression that he will improve
and his performance at shortfeld
is all that could be asked. East. 8
backstopping was good. 1t was a
good day for pitching records, as
the batters were accommodating
enough to strike out often. Carl
son caused fifteen locals to swing
fruitlessly and Wells made eleven
of the visitors fan while Lee added
three more.
The first inning was over quickly
as the first three visitors struck
out, and, except for Brad.'s pass,
none of the locals reached first.
Both sides scored in the second.
For the visitors, Underwood sim
gled to left; Carlson hit sharp
grounder to Wells who turned
quickly to start a double. play at
second, but there was no one to
receive the toss at that station.
The delay and succeeding muff left
both runners safe, but it was the
easiest kind of a double-play had
second been covered. These two
runners afterward scored on Kill
kelly's triple to right. For the
locals, Fan. drew a base on balls
and went all the way to the home
plate on two successive passed
balls and wild throw by Under
wood.
In the third Berger was safe
when his pop-fy was muffed. He
scored later on Beyers' two-bagger.
The latter was left stranded as
Underwood famed.
The M. S. P.s evened up matters
in the fourth, when Carlson issued

to try and explain what
| breeds of huskies there


kies, first: there is what is known
as the Canada huskie, St. Bernard
dog, and wolf dog; second: the
Alaska huskie and coolie dog;
third: the Labrador huskie, the
Newfoundland dog and the white
wolf; fourth: the Siberian huskie,
the Russian boar-hound, and the
big Siberian wolf dog. The last
named are the biggest, they weigh
from 80 to $50 pounds. The boar
hound is very big and powerful
dog and has plenty of grit. The
Russian timber-wolf is the largest
of the wolf breed, weighing as
high as 1SO pounds, while Cana
da or American wolf dog weighs
from go to 14O pounds.
1t is very strange thing, but
true, that from one to two pups is
all that wolf has, while it is true
that a dog will have six or eight
pups in litter. That is the rea-
son that there are not more good
huskies in the north. Each coun-
try has different way of driving
their dogs. An American drives
most always tandem five, seven
and sometimes more dogs in a
team.
Scotty Allan is the best known
dog musher in America or Canada,
as he drives seven to fourteen
Siberian wolf dogs. They are a
very big team and have made some
very fast time. In 1906, Novem-
ber 18th, Scotty Allan drove seven
dogs which drew 400 pounds of
mail from McCarty to Cordova,
Alaska, in so hours, which is 100
miles. That is the time he was on
the road all told. He was travelling
80 hours and rested 20 over very
bad trail and a very bad river-the
Copper river.
Scotty Allan raises huskies for
sale and he sold the French gov
ernment 100 dogs since the war
started, at 500 each.
Mail is carried in Alaska seven
months in the year by dogs. from
Chitna to Fairbanks, Alaska, which
is 24O miles. A dog team of seven
dogs can carry 400 pounds of mail
and make the trip one way in eight
days, that is an average of 80
miles per day. Did any of you
ever try to walk 80 miles in day !?
If you have, you will know that a
man mushing a dog team has no
snap, but it is the hardest work a
man can do. A dog-musher on
the route mentioned, gets SIS day
and found; he earns every cent of
it and more.
There may be some who do
not know what live glacier
means, or what l mean by a live
glacier-there are dead glaciers
as we'll as live ones. A live glacier
is always over a big river, or
spring creek where water runs the
whole year round: while a live
glacier will crack and open up
from four to twenty feet in min
ute or less. l have slept on gla-
ciers with men that were in the
same musher outfit, have been
parted during the night by
crevice or crack, coming while we
slept. The Shuana glacier is the
worst of them all for cracking, and
there are a number of men who
have lost their lives on that glacier.
That is why SIP a day is paid for
dog mushers on the McCarty.
Shuana route.

another at all times. At no time

MEASURES TO FORCE UNITED
STATES RIGHTS.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The course to
be taken by the United States if Ger
many compels the use of force to safe
guard Aemrican lives and rights has
been determined 1t was learned au-
thoritatively after todays cabinet
meeting that in the event President
Wilson goes before congress again
| 1t will not be to ask for declaration
Of war, but to follow literally the
words of the address in which he an
nounced the breag of diplomatic re-
lations and requested authority to use
means deemed necessary TO protect
American seamen and people.
The president, it was stated, is anx-
ious as ever to avoid war with Ger
many, but also is determined as ever
that American citizens and ships shall
be free to travel the high seas unmo-
Tested. His next step if taken will be
to enforce that right and even then
the issue of war or peace will be with
Germany. Any hostile action will
have to come in the form of an inter
ference with an American right.
Details of the governments plans
are not discussed 1t is known, how
ever, that conveying and arming of
merchant ships are being considered.
