NENANA SERIES MAY DRAW MANY
 LOCAL PEOPLE

The proposed trip by the local baseball team to Nenana for three game series with the team at the railroad town is creating consider able interest around town and many fans have expressed desire to ac- company the club if proper trans portatiOn facilities are available at that time The series will be played on July 26-27, or a week from next Saturday.
 Manager Beam says that it will hardly be possible to get one of the White Pass boats for the round trip as no extra crew is available for this purpose It may be possible that one of the regular river steamers will pass Nenana enroute to Fairbanks about July 2, which would enable everyone to get passage upstream, but this would make it necessary for the small launches to handle the crowd downstream.
 The team which will make the trip will be named in the near future and will work against a selected team in several games scheduled to take place before the Nenana series is played. Good stiff practice will also be un- dergone in preparation for the games and Fairbanks fans are willing to back their team with the cold cash \, hnn tLa time comes

BOARD MAY MAN
 VESSELS WITH
 NAVAL SEAMEN

NEW YORK, July l5 (PJ An an nouncement was made today to the effect that the federal shipping board is preparing to take drastic action to settle the marine strike along tn" Atlantic coast. Efforts to arbitrato with the strikers failed utterly as the men absolutely refused to meet the shipping board officials anything like half way The strikers declare they will hold out until every demand i, met
 IL is reported that the shipping board is now planning on manning the commercial ships with crews talk en from the navy. In many Atlantic ports, d number of ships are tied up because of the strike and this is seriously interfering with the trans portation question. It is intimatcd that the board is tired of hagglng with the strikers and is now planning ito disregard them and their plans altogether.

"SLIM" PACKARD
 IS HEARD FROM

C. l.. (Slim) Packard registered in by letter on the last mail from the states. He wrote from Cristobal in the Panama Canal zone, saying that he was on his way but didn't know to him it was some warm in that neck of the woods and he's probably wishing he was back North about this time
 Slim couldn't get in the army here so he went to the states and signed up. Last spring he was working in a Frisco shipyard, but that appar- ently palled on him and he is off seeking new worlds to conquer.

SEALS ARE PUT
 ON MEAT UNDER
 CUSTOM 0RDERS

J. E. Howard, of Eagle. who ar rived in town on the last trip of the steamer Yukon. in connection with the importation of cold storage meat from Canada into Alaska. told a representative of The Citizen yc- terday that he had placed under seal all the compartments in the cold storage barge containing foreign in Spected meats In fact when he ar rived here he found that this meat was under seal and had been since July ,, or the date upon which in structions were received to disc0n- tinuc the sale of foreign inspected meat until further notice was given the federal officials.
 The meat referred to was shipped
 from Dawson by Waechter Bros. to
 supply the local market and prevent a shortage from occurring before
 fresh beef and other meat could be shipped from the States IL is Can
 adian meat and has been inspected
 and approved by the Canadian au
 thorities. When it entered American
 territory at Eagle, customs seals were put on the compartments and these were removed by the territorial health officer upon its arrival here hn lnnn . considered the proper course, but in formation received later from the Eagle customs office shows that there
 was a miXup in instructions, or a lack of them, and that no one but a representative of the bureau of ami mal industry is authorized to take such action. For this" reason the seals have been replaced.
 Ii is not a question of whether or not the meat is sound, and Mr. How ard is not here as a meat inspector As it is foreign meat if must be ap proved by American inspectors or the owners can secure the original Cer tificate of inspection from the Cana
 dian authorities and file it with the American authorities. When the lat
 ter has been done, the seals can be removed The custom officials will | hold the meat off the market until American regulations are compiled with and this will be accomplished
 when the original certificate of Cana dian inspection is filed.
 Manager Struthers of the loca plant of WaechteI Bros X Co.,, stat ed yesterday that this inspection haC
 been asked for and would be in the hands of the American authorities in short time In the meantime Amer ican meats are being sold. While there is not a large amount of this meat on hand, there will probably
 be enough to last until more can be obtained.

CORN TOUCHES
HIGHEST MARK
IN SIX WEEKS
Wet Weather and Car Shortage
ShoTes Grain Market Quota
lions Upward.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-Highest prices
OF any yet in the last six weeks
were reached today in the corn
market. Sentiment was very bull
ish in some quarters, especially
regarding the December delivery.
Wet weather and the meagerness
of the car supply counted as the
chief factors. Opening prices,
which ranged from the same as
yesterdays figure to &c higher,
with December at 1.27B to 1.2s%
and May at 1.24% to 1.2415, were
followed by something OF a setback
from initial top figures.
Strength in other commodities
and in the stock market tended
later to sustain corn values, but
heavy proflt-taking sales lead to a
sag, especially in the May deliv-
cry. Prices closed unsettled, nc
net lower to an advance of &c, with
December 1.2sA to 1851, and May
1875 to 1y24.
In provisions. most of the gains
were held throughout the day.
Oats were slightly firmer with
corn. After opening a shade to 1sc
to &c higher. including December
at 711sc to Ike, the market con-
tinued to harden.
