LETTER TWO YEARs on WAY.

Sydney, AustraIla. "A curlOuS
manifestation of German psyche
logy is seen in the recent delivery
of the Australian liner Matunga's
mails to the addresses. The Ma
tunga was captured and suQk by
the German raider Wolf off the
coast of New Guinea in August,
1917. The mails on her were TAX
en- to Germany. After they had
remained in German hands over
a year they were delivered to the
British authorities after the arm
istice had been signed. In due
course they were sent to Sydney,
arriving two years late.

will be one of the features of the
program about to start here under
the auspices OF the National Rife

conduct the match, shot by shot.

having no weaknesses in the posi-
ton, and he is ono of hardest and
most reliable hitters in baseball
If the baseball field was a race
track and there was a special race
for third basemen Heinie would be
going under the wire at a gentle
canter before the rest of the bunch
had hit the head of the stretch.
Manager Moran said the other day
that Groh has the best eye for a
ball at the plate of any right-hand
hitter he had ever seen in his long
experience. That's good enough.
The Red outfield does not look to
be in the same class with that of
the Giants, but has been more than
holding its own by keen determin-
alton and fighting spirit. Eddie
Roush, of course, is the best center
fielder in the league and a power
full hitter who has shade on Ben
ny Kauff, good as the latter is.
Greasy Neale is fielding sensation
ally this year and runs bases well.
but is not SO strong a hitter as Pen
Young. Neale, however, is a valu-
able man on any club, for he Is a
close student of the game and q
real sportsman who plays ball with
the spirit and dash Of a coIlegian.
and because he loves to win Greasy
is an advanced thinker in the pas
time and has pulled q number OF
smart plays this season SUCCESS
fully, most Of which have been
overlooked by the fans. In left
field Rube Bressler, a reformed
left-hand pitcher, has been Of ines
Unable worth to the club on ac-
count Of his energy, determination
and natural ability.
In the pitching department the
Reds are also right there, with
Hod Eller and Slim Sallee winning
new laurels every day.

COACH FOOTBALL

Kankakee, III, Aug. sergeant
Thomas Finnegan, who has recent
" returned from two years over
seas service, the first division Of
presidential guard, has signed q
contract to coach football at st.
Viator's college. His acceptance
will be a source of much satisfac-
ton to the student body, as Fin
negan is one Of the greatest foot
ball stars in the athletic history Of
the college. In 1915 and 1915 he
was considered by critics the best
end in college ball in the middle

The postponements were dis

figure it's harder to win two games
in one day than two in two days.
However, in the case of the White
Sox the days of should help, be-
cause it gives the cripples a chance
to recover. Hap Felsch, Joe Jack

suspended for an hour the other after
noon during the funeral services OF
the famous pioneer woman More
than a thousand persons followed the
cortege to the cemetery and, with
bowed heads, listened to the brief
PRAYER that committed the remains to
their last resting place.
With the passing of Mrs. White the
Cook Inlet country lost it's most widely
known resident, and one who for
twenty-seven years had taken lead
ing part in directing its destiny and
developing it's resources. Her death,
which was preceded by several
months illness, was the consequence
of cancer. -.

the anniversary of Washington's
birthday, and on account of her
mothers great admiration for the
United States, she was named Mar

her parents she CAME to America when
she was seven years old. The family

young woman she was married and
with her husband moved to what is
now North Beach, Grays Harbor,
Washington, where they took up a
homestead. There, in the course of
few years, she attained national re-
nown for risking her life to save three
sailors shipwrecked off British bark.
For this feat she was awarded gold
medals by the congress of the United
States and the Chamber of Commerce
of Portland, Ore. One of the great
consultations of her declining days was
the recollection of short visit she
made about year ago to North Beach.
She was signally honored by the genial
greetings and hospitable receptions
given her by the citizens of the town,

NEW MINING COMPANY :
FORMED in FAIRBANKS

A new mining company was born
when the owners of the famous Ryan
lode claims got together and incorpo-
rated an Alaska company with CAPT
tai stock of 100000. The Ryan lode
comprises eight quartz claims situate
on the divide between Eva and st.
Patrick's creek, and Development
work already done has uncovered a
large ledge of gold bearing ore, and
now that the war is over and condi-
lions will soon become normal again,
with reduced cost of supplies and bet
ter facilities for transportation it is
believed the property can be made to
pay. There is no doubt but what the
Ryan lode is the source Of the placer
deposits found on Eva and st. Pat
rick's creeks, and the owners believe a
little further work on the ledge will
develop mine.
! The directors of the company
named in the articles are Ben Thomp-
son, August Peterson, James G. Nc
Cam, Falcon Joslin and G.. B. Erwin
AS all the owners of the property
could not be reached at this time a
block of the capital stock has been
set aside for them. The balance of
the stock will be sold in the States, an
option having been given 10 Mr.. J. w.

company that money for development
purposes will be forthcoming this
year.

The time has come when farmers
of Western Kansas who want to buy
pure bred stock can buy right IN their
own territory. This fall shows great
.deveopment Of pure bred live stock
sales in Western Kansas. TIP head
of pure bred cattle viii be sold at
sales in Western Kansas during the
next few weeks. On August 5, Peter
Jorgensen sells twelve head Of pure
bred Holesteins at Plainville, Kansas;
August 81, Mr.. E. J. Guilbere sells
675 pure bred GaIloways at Wallace
Kansas, and on the 29th Albert W.
Logan sells 85 head of pure bred
Herefords. This development of
sales in Western Kansas means a
great deal toward getting pure bred
cattle distributed among the better
farmers of Western Kansas. A
farmer using a few head of pure bred
cattle can not afford the enpense of
going to Kansas City or Eastern
Kansas to buy. The Fort Hays
