THE FIRST REPLY.

A reply to the Nenana challenge
was received by Manager Joe Fisch-
er late yesterday afternoon, from
Manager Charles Beam of the Fair
banks aggregation, stating that it
would be impossible to make an
other trip down river, owing to the
departure of Pitcher Mills for the
States within a few days. The loss
of Mills would leave the Fairbanks
ans in a sorry plight, and they evil
IDENTIFY realize that they would have
little chance against Nenana without
him.
The telegram from Manager Beam
makes reference to an excursion
from Nenana to Fairbanks on Labor
Day, with the ball team, but, in the
absence of details, it is not known
here just what sort of proposition
the Fairbanksans plan to make.
The wire received by Manager
Fischer yesterday reads as follows:
"Sorry cannot accept your offer.
Pitcher Mills leaves for Outside this
week. Kennedy will explain matter
fully when he arrives tomorrow
Wire you later regarding bringing
you up here Labor Day"

CHINESE FOREIGN
TRADE LAST YEAR
GREATEST RECORDED

SHANGHAI-The value of the
direct foreign trade of China for
last year was the highest on record,
aggregating the equivalent of ST.
in gold. This result
was due to the universal advance in
prices and in the value of the tael
(Chinese coin), and in spite of ex-
tensive shrinkage in the merchan-
disc handled, owing to the hind
RANGES in trade imposed by war con-
ditions.
The total customs collected in
1918 were the equivalent of s45,-
794,757 gold, as compared to $780,
335,112 in 1917.

Mrs. Hattie d'Orsay of this city,

for mine, and even the shoe mend

She also tells of getting a black
serge suit for 500
But it is not so easy to get
around the other high prices. The

staging sales. Things are very

Shortly before going to press, The
News was informed of the receipt Of
a second wire from Kennedy, an.
nouncing that satisfactory arrange

of the steamer Tanana, and that
over 100 Fairbanksans would make
the trip down to Nenana on Satur-
day, leaving Fairbanks at 7 o'clock
in the morning
The wire also stated that the Fair
banks ball team would form a part
of the excursion, the team being
made up of the same players who
have already appeared in the two
previous series.
Upon receipt of the wire, Man
ager Fischer called up Manager
Beam on the phone and learned that
an effort was being made to bring
the Fairbanks band along. Practic-

with the exception of William Cor
