BASEBALL GAME
 NETS GOOD SUM

The baseball games last night at the park for the benefit of the public library were well attended and the sum of $60 was realized for the fund. The games were full of life and the players were much encouraged by the spectators
 The game between the married and single ladies resulted in a tie, A, after two innings of baseball that would make some of the near pros sit up and take notice.
 The business men and the profes- sionals put up good article of ball, with the game going in favor of the professional men by score of 9 to 4. The damages have not as yet been counted, but it is believed that the demand for arnica and iodine will exceed the supply.
 The game between the single and married women ended in q victory for the bachelor ladies by score of 4 to 3. Some disputed as to whether the game was tie or not, but the run that would have tied came in on a put-out. which gives the victory as mentioned.

SWEATERS AND
 SOCKS SHOULD
 BE TURNED IN

The Fairbanks chapter of the Red Cross has been drafted. That is, headquarters has given the chapter a minimum number of socks and sweaters. which the American Red Cross is counting upon this chapter to make within given time. The date of the shipment is approaching, and there are still several socks and sweaters short of the allotment, while there is wool in Fairbanks alone, distributed but unreturped. which should make 14O pairs of socks and 43 sweaters.
 In order that this shipment may be made on the dot and the full quota of this district sent out, an urgent request is made that every one having wool try to leave conl- plete garment at the library We'd nesday afternoon, or with Mrs. P. s. Whitney some time early this week. The Red Cross in this dis trict has made splendid record so far, and it is the desire of every one that this record remain unbroken.

COLLAPSE OF CIVILIZATION
 IN NEXT WAR

PHILADELPHIA, May 17.-"As a war measure, to help us win the war, let us do all in our power to have the League of Nations estab- lished now" said Herbert S. Hous- ton of New York, speaking today at the Win the War for Permanent Peace" convention under the aus pices of the league to enforce peace Let us reach out at once for one of the great fruits of victory, a league of nations. At this very moment the final and supreme power in such league armed force, is under single control, that of the incomparable Foch on that fateful battle line in France. If that can be accomplished, and it has been. why not go forward at once with the other work, far less difficult, of com. pleting the formation of the league"
 MT. Houston is member of the committee of the chamber of com merce of the United States on the economic results of the war and retiring president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World.
 Estimating the economic power the league of nations would possess, Mir. Houston said it would contlo ol three quarters of the worlds coal produc- tion; of steel and copper over two- thirds; of cotton and petroleum four fifths of the worlds supply; of the essential food products preponder- ance over the central powers much greater than the preponderance in population.
 "The total imports and exports of Great Britain, France. Italy and the United States, the four greatest nations in the entente" he said were approximately $12,00O,OOO,OOO in 1913, while the total imports and exports of Germany and Austria Hungary were only half as large, or about $6.0O0, 100000. This summary is con- elusive in showing how overwhelm- ing the economic power of the pres ent league of nations, fighting for civilization, would be.
 That economic force, resting on a preponderance of the worlds basic materials for war, could be applied through all the agencies of the mod ern wOrld-the cable, the wireless, the postal union, the stock ex- changes, the custom houses, the trade embargo-and it is difficult to see how any nation would be able to withstand it."

NEW METHOD OF MINING IS BEING
 PERFECTED NOW

Mike Stepovich, who has just returned from Fairbanks creek has visited the underground workings of the firm of Tool & Stewart and claims great possibilities for their new system of mining. The process of handling the dirt has been so perfected up to the present time that three men can move as much as twenty wheelers with the old method of pick, shovel and wheelbarrow
 The only obstacle that now con- fronts the miners in their new ven ture is the thawing of the frozen dirt and getting it down from the face in order that the small Bag. ley scraper can dig and run it to the car station. It is impossible to use steam points because they have to be dug out by hand. Therefore, the pump is the only solution. The most efficient and practical type of pump in the camp at present is the Pulsometer. This is what they are using. However. the tendency is for the water to get too hot and to cause unnecessary sloughing in the drift It is presumed that two stage centrifugal pump would be the best adapted for the purpose and 1t is the intention of these operators of new departure to ship one this coming fall
 This new system of mining has passed its fundamental stage and MT. StepOvich declares that there will be a new era in the low grade placer mining industry in the Alas kan interior. There are miles and miles of ground that is too low for hand methods that can be made to pay handsomely. It is estimated that ground can be worked for 20 cents per foot just as soon as suitable ma chinery is available.
 Too much credit cannot he given to Messrs. Tool X Stewart who have worked so long and diligently 10 devise ways and means to handle with a profit the cheap ground of this camp.

SITE
 NOW SELECTED

Progress is being made by the trustees having the affairs of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines in hand. Recently site was selected for the estab. lishment of the school and about two acres of ground cleared off for the commencement plans.
 At the present time no work is being done, although in the near future building progress may be looked for. A drill will be taken out to the site selected and drilling done for the purpose of locating water, as one of the perquisites of the school will be an abundance of water. When the water has been located the actual construction work on the buildings will be started.

Heilig to Commissioner Dehn of Tan ana that the above course was the best under the circumstances, and also stated that no inquest was necessary.
 The body was found lying on its back and had evidently been under water during the high floods, as there was considerable silt covering the clothes of the dead man. His pockets contained a small sum of money besides few trinkets, which are at the present time in charge of Commissioner Heilig. Pictures taken of the body show the stage to which decomposition had gone. It was this condition which attracted the searchers to the location of the body.

GREAT DISPLAY
 OF PATRIOTISM
 SHOWN BY ALL

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 14.-- With 100000 Americans on the bat tlefield in France giving added sig nificance to the Stars and Stripes, Flag Day was observed thu oughout the nation with a greater display of patriotism than ever before. In every city appropriate exercises were held and millions of American Flags were displayed all over the country.
 The people of every State in the Union paid homage to the standard of the United States. With the thought of those Americans who are facing death in the cause of democ- ra"y uppermost ,n their minds, the citizens of America evinced their patriotism by devoting the day to patriotic demonstrations.
 Addressing an immense and en. thusiastic audience in this city, Gen. c. G. Williams, acting chief of the ordnance, termed the workers in the ordnance plants as "the sol. diers of resource and reliance" |" These laborers, asserts the general, constitute reliable army upon which America can depend for the necessary war materials. This ad- dress was delivered at meeting held in the observance of the holi- day.

BULGARIA NOW
 IS DISSATISFIED

SOFIA, Bulgaria, June 17.--Pre- mier RadOslavoff has resigned His downfall is probably due to Che feel ing in Bulgaria that they have not made the most of their opportunity when peace was forced upon Ru- mania. For some time there has been general unrest in the capital which eliminated in the handing in of the premier's resignation.
 In making peace the Rumanians were forced to give up DobrudJa to Bulgaria, but certain rights were re- tained. The Bulgarians now think that it should have been ceded out right to them as a reward for their part in the early defeat of the Ru- manians.

 BY LOCAL TEAM

Al the ball park Sunday d fair sized crowd saw the aggregations representing Brooks and Fairbanks tangle up on the diamond. The game started off in good style. Both drew blanks in the first inning. Fairbanks scored one in the second and was blanked in the third, and with the exception of the sixth. scored in every other inning. Brooks did not get a man over until the sixth and was blanked in the sev- enth. In the eighth the visitors put three over and two in the final stanza. Watson for Fairbanks pitch ed air-tight ball and had the visit Ors guessing all the time. In the eighth Koon went into the box to practice and they ran up five scores before the game terminated. Fair banks started bombardment in the seventh and kept it up for the bal ance of the game, getting eleven runs in the last three innings.
 The Brooks aggregation has some good players in the lineup, but the lack of teamwork was noticeable, as was also their weakness with the stick. There was not player on the home team who did not fatten up his batting average. Smith caught good game and is showing up stronger each appearance, dis playing good headwork and having lots of pep.
 The score by innings is as follows:

Yesterday afternoon the boxes that will be used in matching out the steelhead trout eggs were taken to the brewery plant and placed in position to receive the shipment on its arrival.

Fresh water will be kept running through the troughs constantly and all care taken for the successful matching of the first attempt to propagate game fish in Alaska.
