HOG RIVER STRIKE
NOT EXCITING YET

Not sufficient work has been done
in the Hog River district TO deter
mine the extent Of the pay reported
to have been discovered there last
winter, according TO recent arrivals
in Nenana from the lower Yukon.
-Four men were at Nulato when
the steamer Julia B passed that
point on the last voyage up river,
who had just come out from the
Hog river, and they expressed the
belief that II would take at least
another winters work to prove the
worth or worthlessness Of the dis
trict.
The ground is wet, and prospect

were evened up at Fairbanks yes
terday when the Golden Hearters
captured two straight games from
the Nenana aggregation in the sec
ond series of the season. The open
ing game, played Saturday evening,
was won by Nenana. The scores
were: Saturday, Nenana IS, Fair
banks 6; Sunday, first game, Fair
banks II, Nenana 8; second game,
Fairbanks 5, Nenana 2.
E. As was the case when the open
ing series Of the season was played
at Nenana during the latter part of
July, the games at Fairbanks were
very largely attended and the rival
~ was red hot, there being nearly
hundred Nenana fans on hand to
root for their hometown players.
The atmosphere was truly metro
politan and the interest fully as
great as any ever recorded at
big league meeting. The Nenana-
ties went wild with enthusiasm
when the railroad town team cinched
the opening game, and if support
from the grandstand on Sunday
could have added runs to the official
score, there would have been a diff
erent ending to the series.
Opinions differ as to the cause Of
the loss of the series. The con-
GLIDING game has been played over
many times since last night, but
there are a number of points still
undecided - points that probably
never will be satisfactorily and con-
vincingly settled. 1t is always thus
in baseball.
But if Nenana fans cannot agree
as TO the cause of defeat on the
diamond, they at least are OF one
opinion regarding the reception &C
corded liam by the people Of Fair
banks. Never was there such a wei
come in Interior Alaska. Never
before have the residents of one
town put themselves TO such pains
20 entertain the residents OF an
other town-and a rival town, at
!, that There was nothing too good
in Fairbanks for the Nenana ex-
cursionists. There was nothing that

CHAMPAGNE SOON
THING OF THE PAST

Paris. Nov. 10. - Champagne will
soon be a thing of the past. The
original shallow top soil OF the
champagne district is reported to be
permanently destroyed By the raw
ages of war and LIBERALIZATION is
deemed impracticable because of the
'chaiky character of the subsoil.
No attempt is to be made to re-
build the Cathedral of Rheims,
which Is likely to remain as a war
monument. The present inhabitants
of the city are mostly spectators
who are investing millions in buying
destroyed or damaged property at a
big discount. hoping to recover from
the government the original cost
plus war imitation. The city Is still
without light. water or heat, hotels,
restaurants or tramways, and oper-
ators of taxicabs are reaping huge
profits. The sanitary conditions are
appalling, the draining system being
still unrepaired.

ATTORNEY SCORES TAXICAB

Lawyer Davis Terms Arrangement Between
Company and Hotels Here An Oppressive
Monopoly of Cab Service.

Clever camouhage" and "subter-
fuge of the baldest kind to monopolize
the carrier business at the hotel to
the exclusion of alt others" were the
terms employed by Attorney Henry
E. Davis, referring to the agreements
between certain uptown hotels. and
the Terminal Taxicab Company in a
test case before the Police Court late
yesterday afternoon.
The hearing was before Judge Har-
Olson. The array of legal talent in

on or discharge passengers. 1t was
shown that the Terminal Taxicab
Company has concessions from hotels
and the Washington Terminal Com
pany and has agreed to supply enough
motor vehicles for the use OF the ho-
tel guests and passengers arriving at
Union Station, and that the fares are
divided between the contracting par
ties.
I'm the language of the street the
hotels get a 'rake-off from the taxi

jected.
Lawyer Davis also termed the ar
rangement between the hotels and
taxicab company a very oppressive
monopoly of the cab service here.
Mr.. Davis contended that the

there can be no prosecution of pub.
lie hackers for lettering or stop
ping in front of the station. He
claimed the law against lettering
and stopping is intended to prevent
congestion and stoppage of traffic
on the public streets.
Attorney Davis also claimed that
the autos parked near the up
town hotels presumably for the use
of only guests, may be hired by
persons not guests. and said he
had witnesses in court that would

that the vehicles of the Terminal

der the name of livery"
Lawyer Dunlop was called upon
to produce the contract between
the Shoreham Hotel and the Ter
minal Taxicab Company. At first
he demurred. but later promised to
produce the document provided its
contents were shown only to the
court and the attorneys. Mr.. Dun
lop added that II chauffeurs Of the
taxicab company carry as passen-
gers others than guests of the ho-
tels contracted with, they violate
the law and may be personally
prosecuted.
Attorney Davis declared the taxi
cab company has formed two Of
the most beautiful camoufiages" he
knows of. 1t is chartered under
the laws of Virginia and should
not be rated as a public utility.
TT undertakes to be known as
livery concern to escape the ap-
pearance OF operating public ve-
hicles." Judge Hardison took, the
matter under adVisement.
